ermingardenFor Six Sentence Sunday, here are six sentences from another Star Wars WIP, this time some in-universe meta on the Niman lightsaber form:
Kenobi's difficulty lay not in the kinesthetic elements of Niman, which are certainly simple compared to Soresu or Ataru, but in the integration of telekinesis into lightsaber combat.
All Jedi use the Force in combat. The most basic manifestation of this is the limited and largely instinctive precognition that allows us to anticipate an opponent's blows or the path of an incoming projectile - commonly thought of as Jedi reflexes. The Force may be used to enhance strength and stamina, and to suppress pain and shock so a Jedi can continue fighting despite severe injury. Many lightsaber Forms have blade techniques backed by the Force; one example of this is the Form V move known as "Falling Avalanche," an overhand strike enhanced by the Force that can be used to shatter armor (Id. at 73). What makes Niman unique is not simply that it incorporates the Force into lightsaber combat but the way in which it does so.
