Form VIII

This form is almost entirely offencive in nature. Its main focus is in attempting to finish off it opponent at every opportunity and as such is a sort of anti-duelist form.

Form VII

Force saturation form. This form borders on Sith technique as it utilizes continual energy flow from one’s own emotions and hence requires enormous levels of control in order to keep out of the Dark Side.

Coleman Trebor, for all the good it does anyone.

Form V

The point of this form is essentially to beat one’s way through their opponent’s offences and defence and hack them into little bits.

Form IV

This form is nearly the opposite of Soresu in that its practisioner almost never holds still and throws presision to the winds, at least as much one can in combat. An integral part of this form is the use of augmentation from the Force and general acrobatics.

Yoda, Qui-Gonn, Darth Maul, and Obi-wan at that point as well.

Form III

This form provides neigh impenetrable defences with lightning quick ripostes to utterly frustrate one’s opponent, while he’s still alive that is.

Obi-wan Kenobi, in Episode 3 to be technical.

Form II

This form emphasises precision and thus works towards exploiting the ungainliness, or, in fact, any unnecessary movement, of the opponent. Djem So has a tendency to kineticly overwhelm its defences, but it is still the only form that allows one to remove both their opponents elbows with a single flick of the wrist.

Form I

The basic lightsaber form. This is a prerequisite to all the other forms. It is fairly plain with a balanced emphasis on the aggressive and defencive and a moderate threat radius, but it is not ineffective if used well. The only consistent drawback to this form is that it only last about 30 seconds against Makashi.

Theoretically, Kit Fisto uses this form and I suspect that Ki-Adi-Mundi does as well.
