Lightsaber Forms
"They are combat techniques, which can be employed offensively or defensively, just like a lightsaber - It's just an idea."
-
Form I: Shii-Cho
"Form I, also called Shii-Cho, requires little explanation, as every Jedi youngling learns the basics of attack, parry, body target zones, and practice drills called velocities." ―Cin Drallig
-
Form II: Makashi
"Form II, also called Makashi, represents the ultimate refinement of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat." ―Cin Drallig on Form II
-
Form III: Soresu
"A… defensive technique. But effective. Use it if you do not wish to be hit, or if you are facing many opponents with blasters. With a lightsaber blade and enough skill in deflection, it is an excellent offense against blasters, but in other situations, it merely delays the inevitable." ―Kreia
-
Form IV: Ataru
"Ataru is the name given to the movements of this form - though it is aggressive, it is focused, and its best use is in combat against a single opponent." ―Zez-Kai Ell
-
Form V: Shien/Djem So
"Peace through superior firepower" ―Jedi maxim on Form V
-
Form VI: Niman
"Is Form VI the most worthy of study? No, but in general it is the most practical." ―Cin Drallig
