I am Luke Skywalker, and it is my pleasure to inform you that you have been chosen to undergo training in the ways of the Jedi at the academy on Yavin 4. You are about to embark on a long and sometimes perilous journey, one in which you will learn more about yourself than you can possibly imagine. Here, we will train you in the ways of the Force. You will learn to defend yourself with a lightsaber. You will also study diplomacy, history and more. Should you complete the training, you will represent the Jedi Order as a guardian of peace and justice throughout the galaxy. The path before you is arduous, and not all will be able to complete the trials that lie ahead. Know also that the path to the dark side is ever present, and the temptations are many. Be mindful of your task at hand, and let the light guide you in all your decisions. Those who are successful will enter a brand new world within themselves. May the Force be with you. ----- Well anyways, the single goal of this guide is to simply get you to better know what moves that you are capable of using with your lightsaber and to help you actually know how to use them efficiently so as to help you later on if you want to become a good saberist in this game. Since I have rewritten most of the guide, I hope it will be easier if you decide that you just want to look up a single move, hence I removed the symbol system. ============================================================================ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (VHA) 2 -> RECENT VERSION HISTORY 3.00 (20/07/04) > Complete revision of the guide, the format has been changed and various parts of the guide rewritten for easy access if people are looking for something specific. 2.02 (05/12/03) - Changed email address ============================================================================ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (BMA) 3 -> BASIC MOVES (ACROBATS) These moves are the ones that you can accomplish with any lightsaber style, they are the default moves and everyone should at least know these ones if they want to survive.

MOVES The moves listed here are classified as "Other Moves", meaning that they will most likely not be used for normal 1v1 lightsaber combat. All contributions for this part will be pasted in their original form. [] JUMPING OFF THE AIR [] I'll explain it as if your useing a single saber though you may be able to do it with duel sabers or the staff. This has to be done in a fast style: fast, or medium it definately works with fast style not too sure about medium. Run along a wall, while on the wall attack twice with your lightsaber before you descend back down the wall... you will jump sharply off "nothing" right up beside the wall you can get more height of this as well. Also you can do this move from a side flip off a wall, just attack twice, you will know when you have done this. What happens is when you side flip off the wall you are spinning one way, as you execute the 2nd attack you will jump off nothing and spin in the other way. Anyway I thought you might wanna know this. The saber style must be able to execute two attack quick enough before you descend to the ground. I think medium style works with the side flipo but not the wall run... anyway, enjoy! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (OVH) 9 -> OLD VERSION HISTORY 1.00 (15/10/03) - Completed the guide. 1.01 (17/10/03) - Added some bits to the guide. 1.03 (19/10/03) - Removed a site from the Rights section. 1.04 (25/10/03) - Changed email, added MP Nickname section.
