The missing lightsaber forms where would they go?

By Daeglan, in Game Mechanics

Slightly more obscure would be if they were to include Praetoria Vonil and Praetoria Ishu.

You could easily describe Shien and Soresu as Vonil and Ishu respectively, but it would also be cool to mix in some teamwork-based talents to complete the picture.

Depending on if they keep the EU canon for the purposes of this game, they could included Mace's Vapaad the same way they included it before, through recovered holocron records of his form. Wouldn't be surprised if they did release some of the talents in a splat down the road.

Btw, was anyways else sorta surprised at how lack-luster Djem So was? I was genuinely suprised how far up the Shien tree it was and how it didn't really have much to do with melee(useful for staying in melee if your opponent was running away I guess). I was also suprised you could get counter-strike right next to it without even getting Djem So. Felt sorta weird to me as a fan of that form. I hope that they'll fix that or at least expound on that aspect of Form V a little more down the road.

Those two were pretty much the domain of the Imperial Knights of the far end of the Legacy Era, and thus far outside the Rebellion Era that FFG has set the three core rulebooks.

That's how I suspect Vaapad will be addressed, if at all, down the road, as talents found within the Juyo Form spec. Which makes sense, as Vaapad really was just Windu's personal variation of Juyo, one that according to the Legends background he devised to counter his personal weakness of being more susceptible to the thrill of battle and thus the dark side than most Jedi, and so take his own personal darkness and turn it back on the opponent.

I'm going to be a dissenting voice, and say Juyo should be a Guardian lightsaber form. I see it as the "sith equivilant" to the jedi's more protective form, and would make Windu a Jedi Guardian/Juyo Warrior, instead of a Warrior/Juyo specialist.
