Guides, buying advice, and saber lore
Spinning is a flourishing discipline, not a combat technique, and almost everything that determines how well a saber spins comes down to two hardware facts: how much mass the blade carries, and where the balance point sits on the hilt…
Lightsaber forms are seven codified combat styles that the Jedi Order taught as a progression, not a menu — every youngling started with Form I, and each later form was built to solve a specific problem the previous one could…
