Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Shien, and Niman. The six lightsaber forms that both Sith and Jedi are taught to use in combat. Some are famous and others are infamous due to use by a specific figure in Star Wars canon, but one thing they all have in common is this: your force sensitive can fight with them in The Old Republic.
As detailed in an early SWTOR-RP article, each form has it's advantages and disadvantages. Some are used primarily to deflect blaster fire, others a 'duelist's form,' the pure and unaltered technique of singular combat with another lightsaber wielding hostile, but all of them have been seen in either animated, live-action or video game canon with drastically different aesthetic styles, strengths, striking stances and footing.
This reporter's question is this: which lightsaber form does your Jedi or Sith prefer above all others? No matter what situation they find themselves in, there will always be the form that feels most natural, most learned above all others. Which one of the six lightsaber forms is that? Tell us in the comments!
