Form III - SORESU - Lightsaber Forms Explained (The HELLO THERE form)

  • Form III, also known as Soresu, the Way of the Mynock, or the Resilience Form, was the third of the seven classic forms of lightsaber combat that was recognized by the Jedi Council prior to and during the Clone Wars. Soresu was developed during the widespread emergence of blasters as an offensive weapon. Essentially a development on Form I blast-deflect training, Soresu relied on tight bladework and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry. Over time, Soresu transcended this basic origin, and came to be considered the ultimate expression of non-aggressive Jedi philosophy.
    Like Makashi, Soresu relied on economy of motion and energy efficiency, keeping up constant blade movement to build up momentum and minimize energy expenditure. Form III focused on strong defensive technique to essentially outlast an opponent, waiting until he/she began making mistakes due to frustration or fatigue, before taking advantage of these lapses and countering. Despite its effectiveness, Soresu was heavily criticized for its lack of offensive capabilities, as it facilitated survival rather than victory. As an answer to these weaknesses, the highly aggressive Ataru and Shien forms were developed side by side.

    Enjoy todays video! CHANNEL UPDATE! From Feb until MAY this channel will be on a sort of hiatus due to a LOT of life stuff coming up. I will still finish all my videos regarding lightsaber forms and the YODA video which are luckily easy enough for finish in an hour or two, but beyond that all hours of my day will be occupied for a while.
    My goal is hopefully for the channel to not turn into a deadzone come May, BUT, if thats the case have no fear because ive been coming up with a new channel for a while. Potential name is Gods of Mortis and for it to be focused primarily around long format videos regarding the FORCE. More of a once a month deep dive video. I will also be active on twitter through this hiatus!

    4:05 I love when Obi-Wan switches stances between his classic Form III to Qui-Gon's stance when fighting Darth Maul the final time.
    Such a small but important thematic moment for Obi-Wan.

    Fun fact: according to the ROTS novelization (which is just... SUCH a good book), it is stated that Obi-Wan Kenobi's defenses are so good that he could handle up to twenty strikes per second.
    It is a fitting form, too. Obi-Wan Kenobi is in it for the long haul. He has lasted so long simply because he CAN last so long. Or, as a famous superhero put it, and others have commented: "I can do this all day."

    4:20 looks like the katana forms 'Te Ura Gasumi' (or should it be 'Ko Gasumi'?), and at 3:43 the 'Tachi No Tori', but held by an amateur 🤭

      I think it depends. According to the essential guide to the Force, Jedi Path, and the SW Insider Mag, they all had this information. My guess is perhaps 1999 was still before they confirmed what style was what. I believe it wasnt until AOTC that anything was made official.
