  • The Jedi of the golden age of the republic, experienced an unprecedented peace lasting several centuries. In that vacuum of war and conflict, the jedi adopted some interesting and very pacifist ideas about lightsaber combat. This could be a big weakness for the high republic jedi in the upcoming acolyte show, especially when these fresh faced padwans have to go up against their first dark side opponents.

      But the Sith don’t LIKE War, they LOVE War. All their lives they have been purveyors of war.
      They drive to work in their shitty car and they see a rich CEO who works half as hard as they do driving past in his Porsche: class war.
      They get to work and they see there are random drug screenings today and they just happened to take a puff of their one hitter last night at dinner with their wife’s shitty parents: Drug war
      Then they see that the only ones being tested are their black and Hispanic coworkers: Race war

    • @ZoeMalDoran
      @ZoeMalDoran 3 месяца назад +17

      If you put the hours in, the fact that Niman combines the other five "legal" forms can make you pretty lethal, but as Alan alluded to, most Niman practitioners focus on Diplomacy and the Force and don't expect to actually need their blades in the field for anything other than a psychological edge - kind of like what Mace Windu says to the other three Masters in the HISHE for Revenge of the Sith - "I know you think just whipping out the lightsabre makes you look intimidating, but this is a Sith Lord we're talking about so don't just stand there and let him stab you slowly or something stupid like that. Expect severe resistance, you understand? We are Jedi Masters for crying out loud"

      I believe the battle-master at the Sith academy in the first book of the Darth Bane trilogy was also a form 6 specialist who taught standard and saber staff variations but intentionally didn't teach duel wielding so that his students couldn't ever beat him in a real fight. Also I think Starkiller used form 6.

      @KnightsWithoutATable 3 месяца назад +5

      It is worse than that. Some of these masters are trained and maybe even willing to beat their opponent till they give up. What they aren't trained for and willing to do is to kill their opponent. They feel invincible and everyone thinks that they are. They aren't. Jedi can easily be killed, it's just harder and you can't always do it one on one, but you can do it if the Jedi isn't going to take you as a threat at any point, you have the right equipment, or you have an environmental advantage, like in space.
      So, they are going to go from thinking they're invincible mystic guardians of light to just another meatbag that needs to sleep off every fight in a bacta tank or they die. The PR loss is bad enough for the ego hit, but actually no longer feeling invincible because some hacks that can barely use the Force are killing Jedi and want to potentially start up a war between Force users is a whole other pants wetting factor.

    My headcanon for years is that form 6 was easy to learn but difficult to master. By combining all five other forms a beginner would find it quite versitile, but at the same time it took years longer to perfect than the other forms. But once a jedi got there they could seamlessly flow from one stance to another; they would be able to handle anything thrown at them, and by switching up their forms (and using a wide array of force implementations) they could keep an enemy on their toes. A true master of Niiman would be extremely difficult to put down as there'd be no surefire trick to beating them.

    • @helenafarkas4534
      @helenafarkas4534 3 месяца назад +2

      the problem with that is that most Jedi who study that form use it as a "cheat" form that they can get by on so they can actually focus their study on something else. those who are acknowledged as having mastered the form in Legends were absolutely unstoppable powerhouses that were virtually unbeatable.

      Respecting a white flag is more about pragmatism than the avoidance of cruelty. If you violate a white flag then the enemy has no reason respect your white flag. Next thing you know you're enemy never surrenders (needless death on both sides) and will butcher your people if they ever win a battle. It's the core of what the concept of war crimes is based on. The fact that the enemy is using robot soldiers makes little difference.

    I've seen a few lightsaber form analysis videos before, and with Niman/Form 6 specifically, the problem is that most Form 6 specialists are NOT combat specialists, using the form because it requires less practice to maintain a minimum proficiency, because lightsaber skill is simply expected of them. But a Form 6 specialist who practices as much as specialists of other forms, would be a VERY different beast. Which is why Exar Kun and Darth Krayt, Form 6 specialists, are known as such strong duelists.

    Form 6 was basically a jack of all trades master of none. And it's like learning multiple languages at the same time. Your time and focus are divided and you have to learn how to switch styles on the fly. To truly be effective in Form 6, you had to devote a ton of time and effort, probably more than any other form which most practitioners didn't seem to do. They just made sure they had a rudimentary understanding of the basics. I'm certain if someone put in the time to actually refine form 6 it can be pretty useful

    Some lovely fight scenes. Also, there seem to be some tai chi involved, not the gymnastics but more like the actual self-defence techniques. Master Sol (Or however it is spelled) seem to make use of the opponents energy, diverting and using it against them. That is much harder than it seems, because for such techniques to work the opponent must commit to their move. So contrary to what many think, we trained in normal punching and low kicks aswell. No high kicks in Wudang Tai Chi. But the aim is not to beat your opponent to a pulp, it is to get out of the situation, or if possible de-escalate it. If your opponent realize you want to use their own force against them, they might be more cautious, going for swift, limited attacks so as not to flag what they do. This means they will not be as aggressive and might in turn enable you to achieve what you really want, to get out of there.
    I love how both masters switch from these less aggressive techniques to occasionally use offensive techniques. But since Mei seem to have trained to be very aggressive with the aim to overwhelm the opponent with speed and aggression, she just plays into their hands. Carrie Ann Moss character seem to be more aggressive and switch more frequently between "soft" and "hard" techniques. Master Sol instead sticks more to the soft, diversion techniques, maybe because he realize that he has the upper hand and at the same time really do not want to harm Mei. Maybe he knows her and really need to interogate her.
    The fights are really well done as far as I can see. Mei have considerable skill and rellies on speed and aggression to catch the opponent off guard and overwhelm them. It will be interesting to see if she always go for a more or less duel situation or if she also uses tactics. He style would be utterly devastating using ambushes or other kinds of suprise attacks. Defending against suprise attacks are really difficult no matter how well trained you are. But it is in those situations were both the ability to react instinctively and just put up a simple block and if possible then go from there to use the opponents energy against them. That takes training but it is in that moment when you are suprised that an attacker is most likely to go all in and commit all to one attack, it is infact the time when the more "flashy" tai chi techniques can work. If the defender can react instinctively.
    But against a person who have not drilled and trained as the two masters have done, Mei swift and desicive style of fighting should be devastating.

    I think there's a difference between being a PRACTICIONER of Form 6, and being a MASTER of Form 6. some of the most powerful Jedi/Sith of Legends were said to be Form 6 Masters - because to TRULY master Form 6 you had to master each of the five previous forms AND how to incorporate the Force into each of them. Exar Kun. Revan. I've long suspected that Palpatine was a master of Form 6 as well, though that has never been officially confirmed.
    the weakness of Form 6 is that those who typically practice it do so as a "good enough" form. like they don't want to specialize in lightsaber combat because they want to focus more on diplomacy, exploration, or Force use, so they become proficient in Form 6 to pass whatever requirements they need to, and then focus in on what really interests them. the powerhouses I've named above were the obsessive compulsive types who took the methodology of Form 6 to the extreme. it's a very "you get out what you put in" form.

It was heavy weapons oriented (blades of different variety, flexible weapons, staffs of various lengths, throwing weapons then we moved on to transition of weapons to empty hands).

    I feel like you are ignoring the fact that the acolyte takes place only a couple decades after the Nihil crisis. Most of the Masters in the Order will have come of age during this crisis and so they would have understood the importance of combat training. Maybe the Jedi were starting to transition back to a more “peacekeeping” posture at this point, but they definitely aren’t 500 years removed from a major conflict. I also think that there would still have been many Jedi who naturally would have been more interested in studying/being involved in combat (Kirak Infil’a should be around at this time period,) so I think you may be overstating the decline of Jedi martial skill as a whole.
    Also, don’t forget that the Jedi had their own form of unarmed Force-based martial art called Shon-Ju that Grand Master Pra-Tre Veter showed to be very effective. It’s possible that some of the Jedi in the acolyte might be using that as well.

      I’m kind of conditioned that, the last resort is the blade. Jedi frowned upon [all] weapons. I think the basic reference for this is when Obi-wan dismembered that alien at the cantina that was about to shoot Luke.

    Coulda sworn Neiman style be older cuz in the Old Republic times Exar Kun perfected it. It’s good when all others forms have been mastered. Reason y the Jedi at the time of this show & even in CW were terrible with this form is b/c they stopped thinking of the need to train offensively. The Jedi, and especially the practitioners of form 6 became lax thinkin there’s no Sith so no need for aggressive combat

    Star Wars has always been more interested in flash over realism. A lightaber style that actually took advantage of the weapon's strengths and minimizes weaknesses would resemble fencing, rather than kendo or medieval European martial arts.

    Also the historical context is important - the High Republic expanded into new regions enrolling member states for the Jedi to recruit from and acquiring new technologies and resources. It wasn't a peaceful time - the Jedi saw combat against hostile alien life forms and organised crime gangs as their jurisdiction expanded. One hundred years later many of these new member states chafed under the Republic's mismanagement (lot of taxation, not a lot of promised government services) and joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Also the Jedi rethought their training methods after the time of the Acolyte and stuck to indoctrinating children instead of older individuals with pre-existing skills and knowledge, emphasising rote learning over innovation. Darth Sidious would exploit both of these historical trends.

    The unarmed combat, at least in the FFG/EDGE RPG books is called Steel Hand Adept, and it is based on martial arts and some legends lore (and D&D monks, of course), but it could be something similar that is happening here. Just... Just as long as they don't go and say it's Teras Kasi or something. Though a good show could potentially redeem the only cool thing from an abysmally terrible game.

      Depends. Oftentimes a Swiss army knife is enough to handle most situations. The issue with more specialized forms is while they're very good at what they do, they can also be something of a double-eged sword. Take form 2 -- great at dueling, terrible against blasters. Or form 3's excellent defense comes at the expense of offensive strategies, which if you've got poor situational awareness you could find yourself backed in a corner and running out of options. They're one-trick ponies, if you will.
      My interpretation is that form 6 has a lot of potential in its versatility, but one needs to dedicate far more time and effort towards mastering it. But if they persevere they can become a true best-of-all-worlds and practically undefeated. Take Revan, or Sidious, or legends Luke, who were all skilled practitioners of the form.

    Your Star Wars knowledge is lacking and you use a lot of head cannon. Niman wasn’t invented during the peace time of the high republic. Exam kun and Revan used it and they were around 1000 years before Darth bane. You even had the page from the Jedi handbook but it seems like you didn’t read it. Niman was the easiest form to learn but one of the hardest to master. Only few ever mastered it but the ones that did became devastating duelist.
