I love the way that zannah’s application of form 3 is described entirely differently than it is for obi-wan. It really shows how, when in the hands of a sith, it is more a style of subtlety and plays into the rule of two philosophy of using cunning as a sith weapon, rather than brute strength. Zannah mastered form 3 as a way to play into her true strength of sith sorcery. It shows the genius in both her and bane’s study of the force, while also showing us something unique among both jedi and sith, which for me did wonders for characterizing her.

@@LokiTheClever There is no such thing as 'Niman as a second style'. You either use Niman or you use something else altogether.

Their ragtag assortment of moves is assembled for a combatant fairing poorly at EVERYTHING to survive a fight.

My absolute favourite form. Especially after reading the Bane series and the Tython duel. I love that the Soresu isn't created to defeat the opponent, but to outlast and tire them. From Sith point of view, it's also great form if you're a Sith sorcerer and lightsaber is just a tool you use for self-defence. If I'd be dropped in the Star Wars universe and became a Force user, I'd choose Soresu as my form.

@@Cyclonus5 I absolutely agree with the makeup of the forms you mentioned. I should have specified that what I meant is of the aggressive Forms Form V allows upper body strength to shine with its wider swings. It can be used without a user having as much upper body strength; as Adi-Gallia did, but that led her to be ill prepared to face Savage Opress. Anakin/Vader and Luke were two of the more well known Djem So users and both were known for their physical strength (Vader especially so but we see Luke doing various exercises to prepare his upper body and other muscles in Empire). I wasn’t trying to disparage Shien, it requires quite a bit of lower body strength given that it and Ataru are the most acrobatic and mobile forms (One can argue that Juyo and Vaapad are as mobile as well which is true but both forms are much more reliant on surrendering to the Force or using one’s opponents emotions against them).

@@sterlingauty4186 I agree with you in that case and I especially like your emphasis on Adi Gallia, as she is my primary model for my own study of Shien. Personally, I think the depictions of Adi Gallia and Plo Koon in Jedi Power Battles well summarizes the distinctions between Shien and Djem-So. As for Juyo/Vapaad, I think Shii-Cho, when taken to it's full curriculum has an acrobatic element, which Ataru emphasizes and codified with the Su Ma Rotations, while Shien and Juyo have a slightly more relaxed version, perhaps the same and Shii-Cho but emphasized sooner in the curriculum.

It is said that the best form 7 masters could break a soresu defense but this likely only applies to average form 3 users. Form 2 offers the best chance against soresu because instead of working through it's defense it simply maneuvers around them, hence why Dooku is always able to beat Obi Wan (plus he's stronger in the force).

@@stingywingy1607 Dooku actually struggled against Kenobis soresu and needed to cheat to take him out: Only to find himself again facing the wheel of blue lightning that was Kenobi's blade. Dooku decided that the comedy had ended. Now it was time to kill. Kenobi's Master had been Qui-Gon Jinn, Dooku's own Padawan; Dooku had fenced Qui-Gon thousands of times, and he knew every weakness of the Ataro form, with its ridiculous acrobatics. He drove a series of flashing thrusts toward Kenobi's legs to draw the Jedi Master into a flipping overhead leap so that Dooku could burn through his spine from kidneys to shoulder blades-and this image, this plan, was so clear in Dooku's mind that he almost failed to notice that Kenobi met every one of his thrusts without so much as moving his feet, staying perfectly centered, perfectly balanced, blade never moving a millimeter more than was necessary, deflecting without effort, riposting with flickering strikes and stabs swifter than the tongue of a Garollian ghost viper, and when Dooku felt Skywalker regain his feet and stride once more toward his back, he finally registered the source of that blinding defensive velocity Kenobi had used a moment ago, and only then, belatedly, did he understand that Kenobi's Ataro and Shii-Cho had been ploys, as well. Kenobi had become a master of Soresu.

So that thing Obi-Wan always did was an opening salute with the Form. Huh, never knew that. Do all the Forms have an opening salute like that which telegraphs what Form you're using? I image at least Form 4 does since in his final battle with Maul, Oobi-Wan took that stance to trick Maul into thinking he was going with his Master's style of Form 4 so Maul would go for a move to counter Form 4, which Obi-Wan would be ready to respond to by switching to a Form to counter the counter.

The reason Consulars favored form 3 is also quite telling of the Jedi mentality. They basically have the trademark of using non-violent ways to solve disputes, but Form 3 fits perfectly into the tactic of using your lightsaber for defense while disarming or disabling your opponent using the Force alone. It's basically accepting what the style teaches and still managing to take obstinate enemies down without ever attacking using your weapon. So you just let them beat themselves tired against your defense and then drop them where they stand, still alive but unable to fight.

So far, if I understand correctly: Form I, the 9 master cuts and mostly treating the lightsaber like a conventional sword against unarmored foes. Form II, an evolution and response to Form I in the same way rapier play was a response to longsword play, particularly the Spanish schools that focused on precision, geometry and focus. Form III, another response to the change in combat expectations where the goal in conflict is to survive unharmed turning the lightsaber into a shield from the chaos around you. The expected foe now no longer has a lightsaber.

How did they come up with the animal names for the Form? Vaapad seemed like the only intuitive one to suit the style? Definitely excited for the discussion. The hybrid styles are also pretty interesting. Wasn't there a Sith that beat Bane's offense with Form 3, and swapped to Form 2 to actually defeat him? Even Obiwan had to use his wits and sometimes Form 1 or 4 to end a fight. The Labyrinth of Evil novel also has his Form 3 mastered to the point where he can angle bolts in whatever direction he wanted, much like Form 5 is described.

Hm...not the Form I'd learn, I am partial to some of the others, especially: - Makashi (so elegant, making a duel look effortless, but oh so deadly! A dance of blades, step, step, slice, slice, block, parry, riposte, without using a lot of strength - experience wins in those fights! Look at Dooku, he's not in his prime anymore, but he played with Anakin and Obi-Wan for years, till the war experience bridged the gab between them - not to mention that Anakin's form is the counter to Dooku's form, elegant dancing moves aren't so great if your enemy brute forces you and can easily slap aside your blade and derail your elegant moves!) - Ataru (burns a lot of energy, but it keeps you moving and makes you a hard target) - Shien/Djem So (the hammer among the forms, power, speed, momentum, precision and breaking through an opponents defenses, also good for blaster-deflection!) - Niman (but only if you are a true master of the blade, otherwise this form weakens you, as it has few weaknesses, but no strengths either! All Niman practioners at the (first) Battle of Geonosis DIED! In the hands of an "artist" with the lightsaber, like (Darth) Revan? It is the most effective form, then again, Revan knew them all and also used a lot of hard force techniques like teleportation, so he was not only a master of the blade, but a true master of the force, using it more and in more impressive ways than the later Masters during the clone wars!) I also like (unlike Count Dooku) the integration of a secondary (full sized, I don't like shotos - why? A lightsaber blade has no weight, so wielding two full sized blades is no disadvantage!) blade, especially against multiple oponents with blasters (against someone with a blade, I'd probably revert to one blade myself and use the force with the other hand!)

Since even if impractical, the arcrobatic and aggressive style looked amazing to the corrupted minds of the jedi peacekeepers before and during the clone wars. Think how even masters like quiqon jin, aobi wan, yoda, skywalker, etc. Decide to master/focus this form. Either at first or sticking with it. Even through it is impractical at best for most users.

🤷‍♂️, I’m more into the anime, @@michaelandreipalon359. However, I’d love to make a movie, a reality show on the silver screen to be precise, starring the most famous living witches & wizards of and/or in the United States of America; I’d call it _Fate/America_ & I do ponder which Heroic Spirit(s) each contestant might ‘summon’…

Man, only in recent years can I really appreciate how much lore was put into kotor II:Sith Lords. Disney doesn't seem to have the same level of appreciation for what george lucas created smh 😩

Jedi will literally invent an entire saber form based around blocking forever, instead of just using an effective shield.

Not really that unnecessary, since they have their own benefits and disadvantages. Also, seven is not that many of an amount.

Because each style benefits a certain class of Jedi. Depending whether you were a counselor, sentinel etc.

They each represent a philosophy and physical method of attack. There could easily be more.

In one way this seems a bit selfish though; defending yourself and maybe those behind you, while a (possibly non-lethal) attack could end a threat for everyone. Not the only way to look at it, but still.

I am not sure form 3 can even be called a style, it is just tightening up the guard and requires cross training for strikes. Arguably the same can be said of 7, it requires another style as a base and expresses it agressively. It is not like dual wielding, taunting and integrating force powers are unique styles either. Maybe you can say it is similar to Aikido but even they are pretty good at breaking wrists..

This may be the last time I watch content from this channel. KZbin's money hungry adds have gotten so bad now that they're actively trying to prevent me from watching content from this channel and I'm not having it anymore.

Oh shit, I didn't realize... My and my friends are on the same KZbin Premium Plan, only $18. Never gotten ads from KZbin in over a year. I genuinely forget that most people still deal with them.

Anyone who rips on jedi using more offense based forms for not following there ideals of being peace makers and defenders of peace is a fool sometimes the only way to keep or defend peace is to take out the threat to that peace and constantly refusing attacking is not effective defense of peace

Form III I ironically find to be one of the more outrageous forms realistically speaking. It’s only effective for space wizards and droids. To meat bags it’s a death sentence as we can’t accurately predict five seconds of the future with any real consistency. Thus you’re stuck constantly reacting to your opponent and letting them control the fight.
