Forum:Risca Kor'le - Task 1

Assigned by Knight Gaan Be'orar
Risca, let me first say I am pleased to have you as my Padawan, and look forward to training you.

Now, given the shortness of time and your own temperament, your first task will be to briefly outline what you know of the three most aggressive lightsaber styles: Ataru (Form IV), Shien/Djem So (Form V), and Juyo/Vaapad (Form VII).

May the Force be with you.

Starting with Ataru (Form IV), I know that it is a highly acrobatic and agressive form used by Obi-Wan Kenobi, (when he was a Padawan) Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Mara Jade, Shaak Ti, and Aayla Secura. Ataru users are always on the offensive attacking with very powerful, wide, and fast swings, and a user of Ataru constantly must call on the Force for help with their attacks and movements.

Next for my favorite form: Shien/Djem So (Form V), I know that it is called "The Way of the Krayt Dragon" or "The Perseverance Form." And that it was developed by users of Soresu (Form III) who wanted a better way of deflecting blaster fire (Shien) and a faster way to finish battles by going at it with a full force offensive instead of waiting around for an opening. (Djem So) Notable users of Shien/Djem So are: Anakin Skywalker, Aayla Secura, Plo Koon, Luke Skywalker, and Galen Malek.

Finally, Juyo/Vaapad (Form VII), was founded by Mace Windu and is the most vicious form of Lightsaber combat (Juyo). Users of Form VII channel their darkness into their attacks and movements while performing in the state of Vaapad. According to Mace Windu, Vaapad is not just movements and attacks like any other form, but that it is a whole state of being. Notable users of Form VII are: Mace Windu (Vaapad), Darth Maul (Juyo), Galen Malek (Juyo), and Rahm Kota (Juyo).
