<p>I am reading a novel and I have encountered this word &quot;绝地&quot;, I thought the author made a mistake at first and meant &quot;觉得&quot; but I have been seeing &quot;绝地&quot; pop up more and more often, this leads me to believe that it is not a mistake. I tried searching up on baidu what &quot;绝地&quot; means, and it means &quot;Jedi&quot; from Star Wars but it can also mean &quot;desperate, dangerous, dilemma&quot;. But when I try to use either definition of the word, it just doesn't make sense to me.</p>
<p>Here is a sentence from the novel I'm reading:

I am reading a novel and I have encountered this word "绝地", I thought the author made a mistake at first and meant "觉得" but I have been seeing "绝地" pop up more and more often, this leads me to believe that it is not a mistake. I tried searching up on baidu what "绝地" means, and it means "Jedi" from Star Wars but it can also mean "desperate, dangerous, dilemma". But when I try to use either definition of the word, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Here is a sentence from the novel I'm reading:
猪哥卧龙娴熟而精炼的，将绝地反击的战术策略一一解释了出来。

Could anybody informe me what "绝地" is referring to in this context/in general.
