Luke Skywalker was once asked "What technics lead to the dark side?" His answer was "All of them and none of them." As they all had the capability to be misused in anger. While none of them were inherently evil.

[reiddajuiceman]

I just realized how terrifying these descriptions actually paint some of my favorite jedi/sith. Take obi wan and anakin's duel on mustafar, anakin was so familiar with obi wan's soresu techniques that the entire battle is basically a stalemate. Until obi wan takes the high ground and instead of using a soresu defense to block anakin when he jumps over him, he uses a completely different technique who's aim was solely dismemberment. So it stands to reason that many of the true masters of lightsaber combat would utilize a similar strategy when dealing with powerful opponents. Nutty. I bet anakin never forgot that final lesson from his master in not being too overconfident

[ForeveraBoss]

I find it awesome Fisto beat Grievous, who learned how to kill Jedi from Dooku, with the simplest lightsaber form. He’s also the only Shi Cho user to use two lightsabers and honestly it was some of the most graceful dual wielding they ever showed in clone wars

[israelgarcia]

It's so cool that fighting a true master of soresu is really just fighting the force itself. And while the force isn't all about killing, so you have pretty good odds of surviving the ordeal, you literally can't win.

[wildwaymartialarts]

Juyo makes me think of firebending while Vapaad is lightning. To quote Iroh "Remember, once you separate the energy, you do not command it. You are simply its humble guide. Breathe first."

[junglerituals]

I would pick Niiman as well, but calling it a jack-to-all-trades form is a misnomer since it is a finely elaborated synthesis of other forms intended to serve as the template from which an individual can develop his own style. Its full potential is only realized once you build upon it, so to the ten years needed to master its basic "template" nature, you should add a number of years fusing to it whatever other knowledge you managed to obtain.

[hyrumkeith]

Soresu fits me best. Meditation combined with combat with pure defense. To survive is the goal. Effective for blaster bolts and lightsabers. Energy efficiency. Guiding the fight to where you want it. Soresu also uses the force for precognition. Eye of the storm and inner peace in battle.

[danieldavis]

I like both Makashi and Niman. On the one hand, I see Makashi as the most ideal Saber form with its emphasis on economy and emotional control. Cut your enemies down or dismantle with precision and grace, not sloppy flailing. On the other hand, Niman really does capture the mystical aesthetic of the Jedi.

[kaosdays]

The fact that Grevious isn’t force sensitive but still so deadly is just terrifying

[SergioLeonardoCornejo]

The need for patience in form 1 certainly fits the Jedi quite a lot. The most ideal to teach the ways of the Light Side.

[InternetShis]

It's cool that Dooku is a master of a form based on exploiting his opponent's passion, making him a perfect counter for Anakin and a good character foil. A Jedi Knight falling to the dark side, and a Sith Lord falling back on his Jedi training.

[theranger]

There is one Lightsaber technique no one can beat...Plot Armor.

[nwebb]

“All the ferocity of a coked up house cat battling a raccoon” metaphor of the year right there. Absolutely perfect description 👌

[danhaggerty]

Gonna have to go with Niman, being more open to the force while being able to channel any of the forms with one or both of your sabers is just to good. Imagine a jedi who truly mastered forms 3, 5 and 6.

[russellcunningham]

I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between forms 1 and 7. It seems they both require an attunement to the flow of the Force in battle, but in distinct ways.

[MrSpookersMcGeeThest]

Dude, I was literally just rewatching this series. I just started form five when you posted this 😁

[jodhaaakbarfantuomey]

First of all, I think this is probably the best video and resource bout lightsaber forms ever made. Bravo, be very proud! I've said it before and I'll say it forever, Niman is the ultimate form for me precisely because as you said, "It can be anything." To me, that's what a Jedi should strive for, to be what is needed. They should be what they have to be to protect the beings of the Galaxy. Whether it means a fighter, a diplomat, a healer, a teacher, Jedi should be what the Force guides them to be, and Niman is the bases of a fighting style to live up to that.

Form I: Helps you gain balance.
Form II: Tests the balance you have gained.
While these two have combat applications, they are best as training exercises.

Form III: Embodies the center of your balance.
Form IV: Embodies the boundaries of your balance.
Quintessential defense and offensive forms, one for de-escalation, the other for threat removal.

Form V: Unifies your balance, center and boundaries together.
Form VI: Unifies your entire understanding of the Force.
These are elevated forms, and demonstrate bringing your ability to new heights, by embodying the totality of your mastery.

Form VII: Achieved through surrender to the Force.
In this form, your balance is the Force's balance, and the Force is not in balance.



I think Form VI is incomplete. It needs Forms II and VII to be added to it in order to properly be itself. So, I guess that's the answer of what I would seek. I would attempt to learn all forms, and embody them all in an improved Form VI.

[bancholeo]

I love how the progression of the lightsaber forms were presented and it was a wonderful video altogether!

Form 1 was conceived during the inception of weaponry being advanced past metal forms.

Form 2 was an answer to Form 1's development and to counter its basic precepts as a dueling form.

Form 3 was an answer to Form 2's blaster-deflecting weakness.

Form 4 was a step away from Form 3's defensive mentality and more towards pure offense and fluidity.

Form 5 (which was also developed alongside Form 4) aimed to strike a balance between Form 2's offensive focus and Form 3's defensive mentality without focusing excessively into either direction.

Form 6 sought to bring forth a culmination of Form 1, 3, 4, and 5's basic concepts into a form that allows one to imprint their own flavor into it.

Form 7 essentially takes the idea of giving one's self into the force to fuel their offense (proposed by Form 1 and subsequently explored by Form 4) and expands upon it even further.

Convenient to have the whole series put into one place for those who want to sit through all of it at once, without having to load seven videos.
