well and didnt exar look like he was waving 5 lightsabers when he fought vodo? want a picture to prove it? it matches the same exact saying when jaina said "luke looked like waving 20 lightsabers" and + the main saber, exar looks like he is waving six(please log in to view the image)
The first one is blur effect as well. Look when he strikes at Vodo, it's the same. Do you mean that his six looking lightsabers are all striking behind one another, at the same place. If he moved that fast, then they would be all over Vodo, not following in eachothers trails...

well look at the one where he killed vodo, thats the blur, or the one where he fought master ood, that was also a blur, this one is different... and it can be called a technique to distract your opponent rather than "6 sabers" cut you up
Those ARE blurs. Comon, if he could make his saber look like 6, then they wouldn't all be striking at the same direction, in a line behind each other now would they? What happens when Luke fights is that it looks like he is striking with 20 at once, however this only shows that Exar attacks with one, followed by six others which never actually lands a blow, which means they ARE blurrs...

yes and he did it in a way to distract his opponents, its a common tactic the samurais use in real life, i didnt say all 6 sabers would kill his opponents, yes you are correct, they follow the core, slightly different from a blur, but its used to confuse an opponenent of wondering which of the 6 blades would hit when it actually is just a normal strike
ask yourself, at the bottom of the picture, why is he shaking his lightsaber to make it look like 6 blades coming at vodo, a few reasons are 1) to distract his opponents, 2) or to create enough momentum to land a powerful blow

but what ever it is, i assume exar kun problably uses form V because of the quote from DLOTS "they clashed their lightsabers so powerful it could be heard from kilometers away"

No... because the only saber you would have to block would be the first one, because there all going in the same direction. There IS no distraction if all of the blades are going in the same direction, a line. It WOULD be a distraction, however, if it was six blades coming from multiple directions as you would have to guess which one is the real one.
That IS just a blur used by the comic writer to show MOVEMENT.
Besides, if he was going that fast, the writer would have made some comment on it in the picture.

wrong again, its weather you will know which of the 6 moving blades is going to hit you, have you seen rurouni kenshin? shishio used the same tactic with fire to distract his opponents and then go for the kill, o and if they were going fast the writer would have made a comment? then why were there no comments on the speed on the saber in DE?
and as i said, look at the picture below when exar holds and shakes his lightsaber vertically, it created 12 blurred blades altogether and vodo would have to know which of those 12 is going to strike from that point. how many times do i have to say it, its a tactic to confuse your opponents, look at all the links i posted, read them COMPARE them
i also SAID it was a POSSIBILITY, NEVER ignore the posibilities just because no one wrote anything about them
and read this, it partly explains how he distracts his opponents
Exar Kun was masterful at lightsaber combat, known to have been a double-bladed lightsaber combat master, and was also known to have fought with two blades on occasion, being adept at the Jar'Kai style of fighting. Exar's lightsaber, unlike nearly all Sith lightsabers that followed it, was also blue, presumably because red hadn't yet been established as the color of the Sith. His lightsaber also had the ability to independently change the length and strength of the blades, causing confusion and over/under-compensation from his opponents in combat

Wait hold up, saying that blurs and afterimages indicate speed is a perfectly valid interpretation, and I'd say that in this particular case, that is most likely what is being shown.
It just shows the speed and direction of the blade. Even IF it would be like 6 sabers, then it still sucks since he cannot actually steer them in different directions. Luke hit like he swung 20 sabers AT ONCE, meaning that when he fought, it looked like he had 20 sabers. However, Kun's only move after his own saber, and it is only one saber that attacks all the time, so it's still not 6 sabers at once. (Not saying they actually had 6 or 20 sabers, but you should get my point).
And anyone could spin their saber to confuse the enemy, nothing special there...

Yeah, the after effect, a common image in comics....such proof! In KOTOR, Ulic leaves behind afterimages in a training session...was he moving so fast there were six Ulics?
Lightsaber: It's really close. You would expect that a person so powerful with the Dark Side of the Force would be skilled with the saber, but Mace is a master with his Vapaad. It's really close, I would say Exar, though I am not at all sure.

Oh, please, the only force feats Kun showed were with the amulet. Mace's lightsaber reflects his power. Blue (good) and red (evil) make purple. Mace has not a vast collection of light powers but dark powers too. He won an entire battle by himself, using only his fists. Without the amulet, Kun loses to Mace. Even with his amulet, Kun still loses.
