- Why Did So Few Jedi Wield Double-Bladed Lightsabers? Various Sith, Inquisitors and Sith assassins wielded duel blades, but they were exceptionally rare amongst the Jedi Order. Although less rare in the Old Republic era, barely any Jedi used such weapons by the Clone Wars. Double-bladed lightsabers utilised acrobatics, long thrusting moves and a great deal of force energy as Pong Krell demonstrated pretty effectively against the 501st legion. But this technique was very similar to Form 7, the very aggressive and forbidden Sith lightsaber style used by Darth Maul. And as was the case with Pong Krell, this could easily lead a Jedi down the path of the dark side.

Pong Krell was an ABSOLUTE beast. Sure Palpatine would have loved having him as his apprentice in case Anakin didn't turn to the Dark Side
Yeh, he would have made a cool inquisitor aswell
Pong Krell would have been destroyed by Ki Adi Mundi, and that’s fcking saying something
@@TetsuShima probably because ki adi mundi is one of the most capable jedi in the prequel era
@@jameswhite7429 exactly
@@jameswhite7429 you also can’t forget he was a literal pimp with 4 wives 🥲 and only used em for reproductive reasons giving him the edge over other Jedi that had their “seed” built up 🙃
Bastila Shan: "I am an expert in the dangerous double-bladed lightsaber combat and have a former Sith Lord as my traveling companion"
Jedi Council: "That sounds absolutely fine..."
True 😂😂😂
When you have an absolute beast on your side, you dont get the right to complain
Bastila Shan: "I also harbour a secret crush on him"
Also Bastila: "I'm also having his son."
The Jedi council were the ones behind the brainwashing, bastila tells you this in the game
lol i feel like breathing wrong can lead you down the path of the dark side according to the jedi
It can!!! Scientists new studies find mouth breathing can lead to the darkside via being stupid, and being stupid leads to fear, and fear leads to anger, and anger into hate, and hate into suffering.
what is this padawan? a bad breath? are u a darksider?
@@grimmshredsanguinus2915 bad breath is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… unnatural
@@ssg3legssan no no no bad breath is totally a dark side power
That's the impression you would get from Master Vrook
If the Jedi honestly think a kind of lightsaber would make them fall to the dark side, then there's bigger issues at hand
The entire history of Star Wars is the Jedi bitching about unimportant issues or extremely vague hypocritical self-adoring theology and never solving anything. XD

Darth Zannah with her Soresu and double-bladed lightsaber: _Good to know people are still being dumb and giving bullshit excuses for it 1000 years in the future..._
Agree. If a double-bladed lightsaber is the Achilles heel for Jedi then they have bigger psychological issues. The narrator is a novice.
@@michaelcharlesthearchangel
The Jedi are basically that uber-nagging grandma looking for any kind of excuse to do the only thing she's ever learned how to do and bitch over small bullshit. They bitch about what kind of lightsaber hilt you use, what Force Crystal color you use, your clothes, if you're too interested in mechanics and droids (just ask Anakin), etc.
Of course, their manuals all say "strongly discourage", which is byword for "endless peer pressure and social outcasting ultimately followed by persecution and finally expulsion".
And that was our crash course on why the Sith came to be and will never stop reemerging, kids! See you next lesson! ;)
@@DeathMessenger1988, the narrator is engaged in mere novicery.
Me: I’m gonna have a burger
Jedi council: red meats can lead to bowel movements, which can lead to anger. Anger can lead to the dark side
Me: motherfu-
Life can lead to the Darkside
What does that even mean!?
Red meats can actually lead to bowel obstruction, and quite often will make your feces smell worse.
@@dr.bright6272Life can lead to hardships, hardships can lead to anger, anger leads to the darkside. *Now die, young Padawan*
Yoda: red meat leads to irritated bowels, irritated bowels lead to upset stomachs, upset stomachs lead to long bathroom breaks, long bathroom breaks....lead to suffering. which will eventually lead to the darkside.
Luke: O.o' "What the Fu-"
For me too much red Meat leads to Gout, Gout leads to abomination of a foot wound that hurts to to even put it on the ground which makes me limp and in pain and anger. My love for Beef is still strong but I have to eat less of it and lean towards the chicken side of the force.
A double-bladed lightsaber immediately screams militancy and martial prowess. While these things are often necessary in the name of defending those who can't protect themselves, it displays an image that the various Jedi Councils throughout the ages didn't wish to convey.
double the blade, double the protection.
Yes, aside from image, it was also a skill issue. It doesn’t help that the particular Jedi responsible for the popularization of the double-bladed lightsaber, Exar Kun, fell to the Dark Side prior to his demonstration of the weapon.
It's also an advantage to have a longer grip for the weapon. If you wanted to use one blade you can, and use it more accurately than with a one-handed swing. Basically a Katana style vs a rapier.
Darth Maul liked to surprise his prey by using one blade then popping the second mid-combat.
The Jedi Council were pussies, we know
I always thought it was because a light saber is the last resort for a Jedi to get out of situations they can’t resolve peacefully so carrying two or a double sided lightsaber kind of worked against that pacifist way of thinking
I mean lightsaber are a last resort most of the time the jedi with green saber use them as i last resort but the blue use them when ever they need to
what part of speak peacfully but carry a big stick got lost in translation?
was it the goblin? it probably was the green goblin.
Satele Shan was truly badass with the double-bladed lightsaber. Bastila would be proud of her princess 🥲
No she wouldn't she would have been pissed the jedi lied to satele and told her her mother left her behind but in reality she like Bastilla and Revan before her saw the problems with the jedi order. She left her a note to be given too satele when she was older but the council burned it and lied to her they were afraid she would have left the order lik her mother and grandparents before her.
But i will say i agree she was a badass with a double bladed lightsaber but she was always held back from her potential due to following the jedi's extreme doctrine not saying the sith would be better.
Of coarse double bladed lightsabers are also great for Form 3. But the Jedi lack imagination.
Not Form 3, Form 3 required tight precise movements that you can't do effectively in open areas or to effectively channel The Force to guide your movements.
Form IV would work more effectively with this weapon and these techniques...as you'd easily be able to amplify your acrobatic and melee attacks using The Force.
Form V Jar'Kai also is effective with Double-Bladed and Dual wielding Practitioners who wish to speed up their techniques and add fight multiple opponents with a sufficient defence.
@@dancooke8811 Darth Zannah wielded a double bladed saber and was almost unmatched in the defensive styles.
@@MegaManDBZXthat’s an exception. The most effective part of double bladed lightsabers were that it split the attention of the opponent between two blades, a definite offensive tool.
Lightsaber Forms aren’t actual techniques, but rather strategies to implement. If you watch lightsaber duels, everyone pretty much uses the same moves, but use different strategies. Let’s say that everyone uses flips and acrobatics to fight, but form 4 users do it more often. Or everyone uses the saber in one hand to get better reach, but form 2 users do that more often. But to get back to original comment, a double bladed light saber wouldn’t be a very good defensive weapon. It would be cumbersome and would get in the way unless you are constantly spinning it in a figure 8 pattern.
It works better with form 4 and form 6.
It's not really like Satele Shan used the Forbidden Form Juyo. Back in her days, she used Ataru as her Form. Also If you think a weapon makes you fall into the darkside, then you need more faith. Same goes for Romantic attachments that the Jedi do not allow, but actually make Jedi much stronger.
Romantic attachments, aside, some weapons are more effective at defense versus offense. A highly precise weapon minimizes accidental and collateral damage as compared to a weapon that has a greater span of attack.
I swear Jedi go out the window when u have a ysalamiri, a flamethrower and slug thrower
Lmao
I only know of what a ysalamiri is because of the thrawn trilogy. Never seen anyone mention one?
I wonder how the Jedi thought of Jaro Tapal, he wasn't as large as Pong Krell to necessarily need a double bladed saber, but he still had one.
jaro tapal was huge
Was definately big enough! And was waiting to see his name pop up here
You're the only one to mention Jaro tapal but his double bladed saber seem to accommodate only one of his hands
not to be a hater or anything, but where exactly is it stated that taking double bladed saber leads to the dark side? Specially since Double Bladed combat would probably be coming from either Form 6 Niman (which is probably the main reason Jedi dont use it too often), or derives from jar-Kai which was not often seen.
TLDR: Double Bladed Saber fighters are rare cause of the Form that`s been used.
I guess the idea is you need to be aggressive and willing to be powerful to effectively used a double blade, which is opposed to many Jedi's beliefs and why many jedi did not gravitate to using them. Same thing with dooku's tilted blade and dueling style, to really embrace the style you need to embody a different philosophy to combat many jedi weren't comfortable with.
@@K3end0 well, why would they be aggressive to be using the double bladed saber?
Fighting with more than one blade has derived from Form 6 Niman ( the tricksters form) , not form 7 which is Juyo the Sith style (excluding Vaapad cause only 1-2 jedis are using that). Being aggressive is def against the jedi philosophy, but has nothing to do with using the double blade. If so Anakin would have made it its main form.
Maul's showcase of double blade combat directly comes from form 6 as he was a Master of Niman,more than he was at Juyo.
Now the only reason i see why not many jedi are picking up the double blader is that Niman training takes up to a Decade to be decent at the form and than from there to start actual battle training takes at least another 5.
TLDR: Double blader=Niman form 6= way too long to train. But has nothing to do with dark side
@@Hypercat0your head-canon is that the Sith are more patient with their training regimen than the Jedi?
Yeah honestly this doesn't make sense
Double bladed sabers look like they require a more defensive style since they don't allow you to extend your arms as much as a normal saber.
And they are perfect to block from different angles without moving as much
@@Hypercat0You forget that the time spent mastering the double blades would be time not spent mastering diplomacy and conflict resolution. Instead of learning how to make peace, they'd be learning how to apply force. What would the purpose be? Who were they planning on fighting? The only (known) saber wielders left in the galaxy (at the time) were other Jedi.
Niman is a hybrid form, which makes it hard to master but also easy to learn. Many Jedi used Niman since it covered all the basics and was simple enough to pick up, so they could spend more time studying noncombat disciplines. Many of those died on Geonosis. Had they put in the time learning to really fight like Maul did, it would have been considered unseemly at best and dangerous at worst
And then there's Jaro Topal, who seems to have no issue using a staff. Though he was ALSO a lasat and pretty tall, so it could just be that a staff was easier to wield than a simple single blade
true. likely, cause lasat typically use a bo-rifle (a rifle, that extends into an electric staff).
so that made sense that a lasat force wiedler would pick a similar style of weapon.
I feel like it's pretty self explanatory. Just depended on ones skill and what they were comfortable with.
Double bladed lightsaber, was created by Exar Kun, but in using it, one would have to master Arturu....
Not at all. First- he didn’t create it- just was the first to show it off to the galaxy at large (learning it from a Sith holocron). Secondly, Darth Zannah used Form III with it, Exar Kin Form VI, Darth Maul Form VI and VII, Lord Vindican is speculated to use the Shien variant of V, Savage Opress Form I.
I highly recommend you check put the 7 Form videos done by Jensaraai1 as he goes into great detail about the forms and what weapons would be great to pair it with.
@@Kyzen_Wrell I stand corrected
Personal instead of a doubled lightsaber staff, I’d rather wield two separate lightsabers, gives you a bit more ways to go about things.
Could always just have 2 sabers that can connect to make a double bladed one that way u got options for any occasion
@@TY-km8hj actually I thought of something better, two lightsabers, but one is a double bladed staff, that way I could catch them off guard with a blade they don’t see coming. Kinda like in that cinematic from the Old Republic mmo
Well, Cal Kestis has both
What about one with handguard?
@@Soul_Of_Revan its confirmed he is a grey jedi tho
Remember in Legends it was a Jedi turned Sith that invented such a weapon, Exar Kun
Three words- Master Jaro Tapal😎
honestly though, if Tapal survived longer, i could see him turning to the dark side
@@samsonm2274 definitely not most Jedi turned to the dark side during order 66 after abandonment capture from the empire or as a last resort to fight off the clones tapal did neither he stuck with the order right to his death and even after being shot by blasters he fended off the cloned from cal he’s one of the purest Jedi in the games you can see the distinct difference between him and dagan Gera or Taron malicos
@@samsonm2274I don't think Jaro would turn to the dark side. He would be part of the resistance for sure meaning Cal wouldn't have gone into hiding all those years
As stated by a great swordsman: 1 extra blade is more than needed and 1 blade in and of itself is one more than wanted
Source?
The 7th lightsaber form is called Juyo, or the ferocity form. As explained in the video, not many Jedi did use it due to it’s close nature with the dark side. Mace Windu was one of the few Jedi who used a variation of form 7 called Vaapad.
Rahm Kota was one of them a Jedi Master and General in the Clone Wars who didn't use Clones in his unit.
: I want to be a Jedi!
Jedi council: Being a Jedi can lead to the dark side...
: True
Just got yalls lightsaber, the revanchist. It is awesome. U guys keep up the work
A theory i heard is it has to do with their mantra. They're "keepers of the peace, not soldiers", so to carry multiple blades is seen as somewhat of a contradiction to that mantra
I thought you were going to say that because the Galactic Republic funded their equipment, the Jedi could not afford to buy twice as many batteries per weapon. 💸💸
the real reason they didnt use double sabers was that they were deemed too aggressive for a peaceful era, clone wars not withstanding. had nothing to do (directly, at least) with the darkside.
honestly, if they had thought about it, double sabers were probably the best tool to use for form 3, since a dual saber can cover more area to block with and if used in a spinning motion, were perfect for deflecting melee attacks off to the side. the best example of this is actually a sith; Darth Zannah, apprentice to Darth Bane. she was almost (keyword there) fully defensive in a Duel, preferring to tire out an enemy to give her a chance to use her force powers to finish them.
It was a potent offensive weapon- but people tend to forget it could be used in equal measures as a defensive weapon (Form III and Darth Zannah come to mind) also- it ramping up the strikes doesn’t always mean it was a Form VII user. Exar Kun was a Niman user that basically out fenced all his opponents.
I seen this argument recently to go along with this and loved it. It’s also the fact that any form of having multiple weapons is immediately a contradiction of what the Jedi wanted to portray themselves as. Having two sabers is one more weapon than a Jedi would have and two more than they would need ideally. The lightsaber is the absolute last resort for when all other options fail
Imagine a game where it’s takes place in the old republic era and you can choose to either be a sith or a Jedi example if you are a sith you go through training climb up the ranks killing other sith to make It to the top until you become the most powerful sith, take in a apprentice, go around the galaxy leveling up by killing Jedi doing missions until you become the best and most feared of all time vice versa for Jedi. That would be the most fire game ever someone needs to start a petition or sum fr.
Cal Kestis and his master:
How was he spinning those lightsabers when he jumped out the window?
He wasn’t, when he jumped out the window he did a front flip and maintained that forward momentum flip all the way down to the ground. He just held the lightsabers are at safe distance from his body while he was falling which gave the illusion of him still flipping his sabers around.
"Why didn't you use a single blade?"
"Because I can. Because they're inferior!"
The Jedi really defanged and declawed themselves not only in truly wielding the Force but able to effectively use a lightsaber in battle against force wielders, Sith, Dark Jedi or something in between. Their fear in using tools or certain fighting styles that were close proximity to the styled of the Sith really was pathetic especially since in the universe of Star Wars, peace breeds weakness and fear holds back the potential of those who can do more if they're allowed to grow without unnecessary limitations.
I am relieved to hear you say it works that way in the _Star Wars_ universe, and not that you think that's the way it is in real life. 😩
But, I wonder if this were all real, would the Jedi order be sustainable?
Or would each Jedi eventually fall to the Dark Side?
Perhaps the Sith could also be won back or won over to the Light Side as well?
"Temptation" Would be something they would have to live with, like a recovering alcoholic;
With times in their lives when they would serve one side, then break away to go back to the other side.
@@TheNoiseySpectator I know the difference between fiction and nonfiction. But we also cannot deny that sometimes the fictional world and its characters can sometimes reflect the good, the bad and the ugly of our own reality.
Which is one of the many things that makes Windu completely underestimated on the internet.
I've always had the head canon that a single blade of concentrated plasma was difficult enough to control in a heated situation, but two would be worlds more difficult when considering most quarter staff/polearm techniques.
"Often used with form 7"
Exar Kun : did you say something ?
Doubled bladed lightsaber have a glaring weakness to them. And that is the long hilt most of them have.
Meaning they were to weak to resist that dark side so they didn’t use the saber and the fighting style with it
Funny thing is it can also be really defensive and pair well with form 3
Cal kestis go brrr
And yet Jaro Tapal & Cal Kestis both wielded double bladed lightsabers!
We don’t know if Jaro ever struggled with the dark side, so that’s impressive.
Cal Kestis wasn't a TRUE JEDI KNIGHT I've got Jedi Survivor and played Fallen Order...he was below Padawan rank when he escaped. And at the end of Survivor....going by The Original STAR WARS story (6 MOVIES WRITTEN BY GEORGE LUCAS) he wasn't even at the Jedi Knight Rank yet which means he is VERY WEAK!😆😉
How do I know this?...he had his First encounter with The Dark Side and its temptation, also he had his 1st 'serious duel' about 1/2 way through the journey of Jedi Survivor which means he is barely ready to take on 'The Jedi Trials' considering his inner darkness almost completely overcame him and he almost became a Dark Jedi.
Luke Skywalker overcame it almost instantly. So did Starkiller so basically that means Cal failed The Jedi Trials.
I doubt he struggled with it THAT MUCH or he would have FAILED had he been in the times of The Galactic Republic (which he was)
Somehow the sword having 2 blades makes them join the dark side? Bros waffling out his arse
I also think it's because it kind of goes against what the Jedi are all about. The Jedi are meant to be peace keepers, so they carry with them just a basic lightsaber because they don't want to have to rely on brute force or combat. It's like if someone claimed to be a medic in a battalion of soldiers, and carried a pistol on them for self defense just in case, versus claiming to be a medic and also carrying a rocket launcher. Just seems kinda counter-intuitive in my opinion.
Bro a Jedi with a double bladed saber would be amazing
Play Revenge of The Sith you'll Hate them in less than 5 min
@@dancooke8811 gah damn
Because a true swordsman only needs one.
Bastilla Shan is the only jedi i can recall using the double bladed saber.
You forgot about the 212th since Pong Krell fought them AND the 501st!
Krell was able to develop his own form of lightsaber wielding from the other four swordsmanships: Form VII Ju Yo "Fierce Form" and Form VI Niman "Form of Confidence", the Jar-Kai style, and the double-bladed sword style.
Just the same form plays a huge role. The form borders on rage, that is, on dark power, because. uses emotions to power up his attacks, and this form actually violates the Jedi Code of "No Emotions, Only Peace".
The developed form of lightsaber wielding was ideally suited to Krell's physiology, allowing the use of two double-bladed swords at once, enhancing the strengths and covering the weaknesses of forms VII and VI through a second pair of hands, physical and strength capabilities.
More than this, the classic single blade is symbolic. There's a comic where Obi-Wan and Anakin are sparring and Anakin asks why they use Lightsabers instead of Lightspears or Kyber-powered Blasters. Obi-Wan explains that this is a common question, and Obi-Wan himself had the idea for two Shoto Lightsabers on chains like the Blades of Chaos from God of War as a Padawan.
The reason the Jedi stuck with the single lightsaber is because it was difficult to use effectively and a Jedi had to be very intentional about killing with it. To quote him directly, the Lightsaber is a reminder to the galaxy that "while we could do more, we very purposefully do not."
This is why the single Lightsaber is the most common among the Jedi, and why those who use variants like the Saberstaff are seen as closer to the Dark Side for abandoning this idea.
What doesn’t lead you to the dark side at this point
And I would want two more that are like the ones in this video just with shorter handles only for one hand only
I'd say Exar Kun being a sore subject for the Jedi order is another solid reason
Bro Pong Krell is a menace
Was Pong Krell Asian
wait a minute.. wasn't form 7 vaapad? the one that windu uses? so does that mean windu is using a forbidden lightsaber form lol?
Cal kestis: ohh fu-
Shout out to Jaro Tapal.
and indirectly to his Padawan cause he wields that too
Cause it was seen as a sith weapon and was despised
The Jedi should have learned, the weapon does not lead you down a path but protects you while you walk your path. The wielder crosses the path, unless the wielder is too weak to blaze a path of their own - even then, it is not the fault of the weapon but a fault in their own constitution.
It always look like temple guards had double bladed swords. And there were lots and lots of temple guards scattered across the universe. Wouldn't mind hearing what happened to Temple guards throughout all this
Lighsaber techniques aside, any kind of double-bladed weapon is pretty much an entirely offensive weapon that would impede the use of more defensive techniques. So it makes sense that the weapon fell out of favor post Ruusan as the jedi got more pasifistic..
Blade Master Kas'im in thr Darth Bane novels brought up a good point. A double bladed lightsaber limits its user and the types of strikes and parries it can perform aince you dont want to chop yourself in half with the second blade. Adding to that is that if your opponent knows where one blade is they immediately know where the other is at all times, unlike dual wielding with jar'kai.
It was simply more convenient to just use a single blade.
Darth Maul used Jar'Kai that was part of my point he also used Ataru
You're telling me that pong krell went bad because he did some fancy acrobatics?
bro please don’t change your tone too much its mind crushing
Fun fact, Pong Krell didn't even use all of his arms with his dual staffs. The guy was a mad lad
I always thought it was because they were considered to be deceptive
If I had two hands or four hands I would want two of these kinds of light sabres
Yeah this is not the main reason for this. The primary reason was that accurately deflecting blaster bolts was much easier with a single blade. Additionally there is little benefit to a dual blade outside of a lightsaber battle, which there were few of in the time of the republic.
"Dont much Jedi use that" litterly every temple guardian on Jedi temple 😶
Not implying this is canon but the Knightfall mission in the og BF2 had lots of Jedi with double bladed sabers, always that was cool. 😎
According to the jedi, everything led to the dark side.
I would not want to be a Jedi.
I would rather be a more integrated person who experiences and uses all of his emotions.
In fact One could almost argue that whether an emotion is part of the Dark or Light side is a matter of opinion.
Let us give our thanks to the Clones who took down Krell. The threat he could've imposed if he was still alive past the clone wars is scary to think about.
I also wondered why not many Jedi dual wielded light sabers
It's like the Geneva Suggestions but for Jedi. Jediva Suggestions.
I always thought it was because lightsabers were "defensive only". So making a dual blade would make it a more aggressive style for attacking then defense.
Jaro Tapal and temple guards used it too
The more I learn about the dark side, the more I'm thinking it'd be great if the Force just disappeared.
It’s kinda stupid bc any lighsaber duel, double, or single can lead you down to the dark side
Now, that's a good point.
But remember also they take twice as many batteries as a single bladed lightsaber.
Thanks man
I thought this was fudgemuppet for half the video
In other words, you needed to be very powerful in order to use it and usually only dark siders were that powerful
Makes me wonder about Jaro and Cal
My guess is that double-bladed lightsabres are really for fighting multiple sabre-wielding opponents - and by the time of the PT the Sith have been 'gone' for 1000 years, and thereafter the Jedi outnumber them 5000 to 1. Even in the Dark Times survivors outnumber Inquisitors.
Jedi- forbid any movement that even slightly encourages association with the dark side.
Also jedi-lets build our temple on top of a dark side nexus and then act confused when we can't sense anything.
Master Tapou just left the chat
I think it's because it defeated the purpose of the Jedi in general. Most Jedi weren't militant or warlike, they were diplomats and scholars who fought if necessary. A single lightsaber was the most concealable option, and the one that looked less threatening. In short, it's likely the Jedi believe they *shouldn't* need more than a single lightsaber to fulfill their duties, but they wouldn't stop a practitioner from pursuing other types of combat styles.
An example of this is Ahsoka, who was definitely a more "bred for war" type of Jedi, since her entire career was pretty much the Clone Wars, and this is better exemplified by how The Old Republic era had a much more open war-like scenario, and you even saw Jedi wearing heavy armor more regularly, as well as all types of lightsabers including dual sabers, saberstaves and lightsaber pikes.
Exar kun started it all. Known as the most skilled Saber user ever lol
shame we will never see a grievous vs krell duel
Then cal kestis arrives welding, single, double, duel, cross guard and balster stand
The jedi"WTF IS HAPPENING, HE IS NOT EVEN A GRANDMASTER, ASLO A BALSTER"
MeanWhile Jaro Tupal and his double saber. and cal kestis.
Man, at this point, who would realistically want to be a Jedi
OK, that might be an exaggeration. A double bladed light saber will turn someone to the Darkside.
I wanted Rey to have one. She already had her bo-staff, and I thought that style would have suited her but NoNooOoO. We got three seconds of evil Rey with one but not Rey herself.
Same with the cross guard. Almost no one used one by the Clone Wars.
Imagine how many limbs would be saved if lightsabers had _any_ kind of sensible hand protection
I always pictured Jedi Leia as wielding double sabers.
It's weird that being physically aggressive was an easy way to falling into the dark side. It's PHYSICAL aggression, the force was passively used to keep you from slicing yourself up
Rey never should have burried those
lightsabers in the sand and I have asked that Mace return another thing is we never got to see Liea in training with a saber .
The jedi looked upon the lightsaber as a sort of cop badge. Someone would see a single glowing green or blue blade, and know they are either safe, or were gonna lose the fight. Many would just give up.
Anikan once posed this question to obiwan in a comic, obi saying Jedi DID experiment with different designs, now stored in the library, but ultimately decided the classic single blade was tradition and too bound to the image of a jedi.
Darth Maul's saber style was so good it became a threat to the Jedi Order.
The problem with Dual Blades is if you know where one blade is you already know where the other one is.
acrobatics sounds more like Form IV to me.
Jaro tapal- am I a joke to you
