Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. MANY Jedi and Sith use more than one form of lightsaber combat.
2. Also known as "The Way of the Mynock", or the "Resilience Form", this form of lightsaber combat is the most defensive form. It is excellent for deflecting blaster fire. You might learn a thing or two about this form from Master Kenobi.
3. Completed by Jedi Master Mace Windu, this form requires profound strength of focus. Using this form, Windu was able to channel his own emotions, anger and inner darkness, and change them into a weapon of the light. Very intense, fast and dangerous, this form can confuse opponents because it often appears that the user is striking several places at once. A practitioner of this form may also use a sort of mirroring effect to turn the power of an opponent back on them.
4. As a youngling, it is important to learn Form I, as this is the most basic form. Using this form, you will parry and side-swipe the blade of your lightsaber to push away an enemy's blade. This form is also good against blaster fire, or when all else fails. What is the name for Form I?
5. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker both used this next form in lightsaber combat. This form, "The Way of the Krayt Dragon", focuses on dominating others, using strength and power as a more offensive form of attack. One unique use of this form is to deflect and redirect laser bolts. You may want to take time later to study the two distinct variations of this form.
6. Count Dooku was a master of this effective and elegant form. Here the opening stance will be to hold the lightsaber in one hand, pointed down, held at the users side. What follows are fluid movements, small precise cuts, thrusts and parries. This form is excellent for lightsaber to lightsaber combat. Because it focuses on speed and accuracy instead of strength, it may be difficult to hold off heavy attacks, or attacks from multiple enemies using this form of combat.
7. This "Moderation", or "Diplomat's Form" was standard during the Clone Wars and Great Jedi Purge. This form focused on balancing all other lightsaber forms, and on being balanced within. While attempting this balancing act, a user often acquires a moderate amount of skill in each area, but masters none. This form is also the least effective at deflecting blaster bolts.
8. Force-enhanced jumps, acrobatics, wide slashes and fast, powerful strikes make this form easy to recognize. This aggressive combat style is excellent against single opponents, but may also leave parts of the practitioner unprotected. Noted masters of this form include Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Aayla Secura.
9. According to Master Windu, who is "The Soresu Master"?
10. What was the name of the lightsaber instructor at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant who was killed by Darth Vader?
