http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sith#History_of_the_Sith_Order

 

ves they are very accurate.

 

so small details like these are accurate despite the fact such subjects have NEVER been covered before?

 

they have been covered in the tales of the jedi serries, and Dark horse comics.

 

really?
I've read Tales of thte Jedi series and I never once remember them covering the invention of the lightsaber or the jedi's first rise

 

Forms of lightsaber combat
Lightsaber forms are characteristic styles of lightsaber use in battle. Unlike real-world martial arts forms, which are primarily training routines, lightsaber forms are more akin to different theories and methods of fencing. There are seven named forms described so far:


Jedi Master Yoda, to overcome his small size, was well versed in all seven forms of lightsaber combat, although the form he most commonly used was Form IV: Ataru, in order to compensate for his height and old age.

Form I Shii-Cho - The basic and most simplistic form, first form taught to younglings. Known users are Stass Allie and Kit Fisto. Being the first form learned, almost all Jedi and Sith use some aspect of Shii-Cho in their dueling.

Form II Makashi - Most advantageous in lightsaber against lightsaber dueling. Elegant, effective and deadly. Few Jedi use it because of the relative rarity of this type of combat. Known users are: Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus, Ki Adi Mundi (possibly) Shaak Ti, and Darth Malak.

Form III Soresu - Form which strongly emphasizes on defense and blaster fire deflection. Used by Jedi beset by multiple blaster-wielding opponents to defend themselves from incoming fire. Known users are: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episodes II, III, and IV), Barriss Offee, and Luminara Unduli.

Form IV Ataru - Acrobatic form, emphasizing agility. This technique mainly involves the Force to perform some of the maneuvers. Relatively aggressive and tends to open defense. Known users are: Darth Maul, Master Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, Aayla Secura and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode I).

Form V Shien / Djem So - Takes some of the defensive powers from Form III and channels them to offensive powers. Form V users can use the lightsaber to deflect blaster bolts back at attackers. Known users are: Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu, Kyle Katarn, Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, Darth Bane, possibly Cin Drallig.

Form VI Niman - Diplomatic form, used by many Jedi in the period when Chancellor Palpatine was in power. Very well rounded, but does not excel anywhere. Note that all Jedi who practiced Niman in the Battle of Geonosis were killed. Often used as a basis for dual lightsaber styles. Known user is Coleman Trebor.

Form VII Juyo - Dubbed the Way of the Vornskr or The Ferocity Form, Juyo, a term from High Galactic, was originally considered an incomplete form for millennia. Generally viewed as undeveloped and rarely used by the Jedi and the Sith, Juyo was not seen as one of the main forms for generations of Jedi. Jedi Master Mace Windu completed Form VII when he developed the form of lightsaber combat known as Vaapad, named after a creature from Sarapin which moved with incredible speed. It was considered the most powerful form, but because of the intensity involved, it was thought dangerous because it bordered on the Dark Side of the Force. Practitioners of standard Juyo included General Grievous, Darth Maul, Kavar.


The seven forms are introduced by Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary and Star Wars Insider #62. The names of these forms were written for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which was then adapted and introduced in "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords". It was expanded upon within other Expanded Universe Materials.

According to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, there are 11 forms but a Jedi/Sith can only learn 7 of them. This is likely referring to the "Force forms" that you can learn in the game as well.


History
Lightsabers are the principal weapons of the Jedi, but are also used by the Sith. Their use is usually restricted to the Jedi, for several reasons: for non-Jedi, blasters are more effective; it is rare when lightsabers are constructed by someone who is not Force-sensitive. However, lightsabers remain prized by some collectors, and some black market sales do occur.

The Jedi who fought in the First Great Schism of 24,500 BBY wielded non-vibrating sw
