Form III  (also called Soresu)
History
 
This form was made for the sole purpose of protecting oneself from anything that posed a threat.  Made after Form II was shown to be ineffective against blasters, it became a popular all-around best form against almost any weapon.  Sort of like Form II in that it used small strokes and parries, it was almost never used for attack, although it could be adapted for that purpose.  It presented an absolute minimal target to attackers, and was considered the best defensive form available to lightsaber users.  The main techniques of this form include:
  • Keeping movements close to the body, thus expending less energy
  • Short, quick movements

Practicioners of this form

Council Member Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi

Jedi Master Luminara Unduli

Jedi Knight Barris Offee

The Bottom Line

A practitioner of this form is nearly invincible.  This form works equally well against other lightsabers or blasters, and offers maximum protection of all the forms.  The only bad part is that it cannot be easily adapted for attacking purposes.
