Form VI (also called Niman)
History
 
This form was the current standard among most Jedi at the beginning of the Clone Wars.  Known as the Diplomat's Form, this form attempts to blend the best characteristics of each prior form into a bottomless bag of tricks which does not need to be practiced as much as the other forms would.  Instead, this form gives the user a few good moves, but only moderation in each form, which means that they are just average everywhere, instead of being really good in a few areas.  This gives the user more time to pursue other Jedi interests, including diplomacy and peacekeeping.  The main techniques of this form include:
  • almost all techniques mentioned previously are used in this form

The Bottom Line

This form, the only attempt at combining forms, is a flat failure.  Many promising Jedi, who should have lived way longer than they did, were trained in Form VI and were killed during the Clone Wars.  In fairness to the form, the most we can say is that it served its purpose of giving more time for Jedi interests, maybe a little too well.
