Well, you all seen the movies and such. Tell me, which saber style of the Jedi or Sith you like most? Because, each Jedi in the movies has his own kind of style.

Heh.. I like my personal style that I've developed (can't do it in game.. but it'd be cool). You use a double-bladed lightsaber, but the hilt is VERY small, just big enough to produce a blade. You use it like a staff, holding the blades of the ligtsaber, but protect yourself from burning with the force. It'd take extreme amounts of concentration, but in the end, I think it'd be pretty badass...

I personally like Qui-Gon's the best, because he combines both the level-headedness of Obi-Wan Kenobi as an old man, but he also is unafraid to take risks and do some big moves. Obi-Wan as a Padawan relies more on flashy moves and spinning his lightsaber, and that goes a little as well for him as a Knight. Anakin's is very good as well, except he does not have the patience with his style like Qui-Gon does. Mace Windu I like as well, except I think people make it overrated. Mace uses a very simple style where he does not waste any movement, like spinning and stuff, where he doesn't need it. When he takes out Jango Fett, he uses very little spinning moves, and disposes of him with a simple, yet deadly, saber swing.

Mace Windu has the coolest fighting style... IF the Form system was applied, then, like Jake said, he would not use any of them (well, he said a moddifyed seven, but still...):)

Damn, it's crazy. I like yoda's style, but often end up using Anakin's. Spinning your saber around and around wildly in blue stance....that's why I get killed so much.:D

Man, you look at it of the fan perspective. Look at it at the movie perspective. You think they made the styles, reading that?? That was just made after analysing the styles. So, styles first, forms later :D

not true, Qui gon and obi use form IV in Ep1, obi then swithces to form III in ep2 and sues that also in ANH.

Mace windo uses a modified version of Form VII.

Anakin uses form V in epII, Maul uses Form VII. When anakin uses to sabers, its the dual sabered varient of form IV :D Dooku uses Form II as you'll notice all his slight hand movements and stuff.

See I've done my research, and I actually enjoyed tpying all that :D

LOL, very cool Jake, but in the movies, every Jedi and Sith has a custom made saber style of his own. So I just wanted to know, which u like most.

Jedi Lightsaber combat forms

Form I

Millennia before the clone wars, advanced technology replaced metal swords with energy-beam lightsabers. In this transition the first form was born. Jedi Masters created form I from ancient sword-fighting traditions, since the principles of blade combat remained much the same. The basics of attack, parry, body target zones and the practice drills called velocities are all here.

Form II

The ultimate refinement of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat became Form II, advancing the precision of blade manipulation to its finest possible degree and producing the greatest dueling masters the galaxy has evr seen. Today Form II is an archaism studied by almost no one in the Jedi Order, because it is not relevant to current tactical situations, in which Jedi enemies rarely fight with lightsabers. Even with the resurgence of the Sith, confrontation of an enemy with a lightsaber is an exceedingly rare prospect for a Jedi, so they continue to foucs on more practical Forms. Sith expecting to battle lightsaber-wielding Jedi, however, find Form II a powerful technique.

Form III

The third great lightsaber discipline was first developed in response to the advancement of blaster technology in the galaxy. As these weapons spread widely into the hands of evildoers, Jedi had to develop unique mans of defending themselves. Form III thus arose from 'laserblast' deflection training. Over the centuries it has transcended this origin to become a highly refined expression of non aggressive Jedi philosophy. Form III maximizes defensive protection in a style characterized by tight, efficient movements that expose minimal target area compared to the relatively open style of some of the other forms.
Obi-Wan Kenobi takes up a dedication to Form III after the death of Qui-Gon Jinn (who favoured Form IV), since it was apparent to Knobi that Jinn's defence was insufficient against the Sith techniques of Darth Maul. True Form III masters are considered invinvible. Even in his elder years, Kenobi remained a formiddable Form III practitioner.

Form IV

Form IV is the most acrobatic Form, heavily emphasizing Jedi abilities to run, jump and spin in phenomenal ways by using the Force. Masters of Form IV incorporate all of the ways in which the Force helps them go beyond what is physically possible. Their lightsaber combat is astonishing to watch, filled with elaborate moves in the centre of which a Jedi may be all but a blur. Yoda, with his deep emphasis on the Force in all things, is a Form IV master. Form IV was also the chosen discipline of Qui-Gon Jinn and the early choice of his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Form V

During an era when Jedi were called upon to more actively maintain peace in the galaxy, Form V arose alongside Form IV to address a need for greater pwoer aomng the Jedi. Jedi Masters who felt that Form III could be too passive developed Form V. A Form III Master might be undefeatable, but neither could he necessarily overcome his enemy. Form V focuses on strength and lightsaber attack moves. This Form exploits the ability of the lightsaber to block a blaster bolt and turns this defensive move into an offensive attack by deflecting the bolt deliberately towards an opponent. A dedication to the power and strength necessary to defeat an enemy characterizes the philosophy of Form V, which some Jedi describe by the maxim "peace through superior firepower". To some Jedi Knights, Form V represents a worthy discipline prepared for any threat; to others Form V seems to foster an inappropriate focus on dominating others.

Form VI

In the time of Palpatine's Chancellorship, Form VI is the current standard in Jedi lightsaber training. This form balances the emphasis of other forms with overall moderation, in keeping with the Jedi quest to achieve true harmony and justice without resorting to the rule of power. It is considered the "diplomat's Form" because it is less intensive in its demands than the other disciplines, allowing Jedi to spend more time developing their skills in perception, political strategy, and negotiation. In practice, Form VI is a combination of Forms I, III, IV and V. Young Jedi spend their first few years studying Form I and then a year or two with each additional Form before completing their training. Bu comparison, a Form VI master will spend at least 10 years studying only that Form after completing the basic Form I training. Form VI well suits the modern Jedi's role in the galaxy, in which a Knight overly trained in martial combat might be at a loss to resolve a complex political conflict between star systems, However, full masters of other Forms sometimes consider Form VI to be insuffciently demanding.

Form VII

Only high-level masters of multiple Forms can acheive and control the ultimate discipline known as Form VII. This is the most difficult and demanding of all Forms, but it can eventually lead to fantastic power and skill. Form VII employs bold, direct movements, more open and kinetic than Form V but not so elaborate in appearance as Form IV. In addition to very advanced Force-assisted jumps and movements, Form VII tactics overwhelm opponents with seemingly unconnected staccato sequences, making the Form highly unpredictable in battle. This trait makes for a much more difficult execution than the graceful, linked move sequences of Form IV. Form VII requires the intensity of Form V, but much greater energy since that focus is wielded more broadly. Form VII draws upon a deeper well of emotion than even Form V, yet masters it more fully. The outward bearing of a Form VII practitioner is one of calm, but the inner pressure verges on explosion. Form VII is still under development since so few can achieve the necessary mastery to achieve the art.

There you go, all 7 forms of lightsaber combat, and yes I did TYPE the whole thing out :) I'm knackered so you better appreciate this :P
