Form V (also called "the Way of the Krayt Dragon"😉 is a powerful style developed by Form III practitioners that preferred a more offensive angle. The defensive nature of Form III often leads to dangerously prolonged combat. This style came about from combining Forms II and III. Anakin, both as himself and as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Jedi Master Plo Koon are all practitioners of Form V. Jedi Master Agen Kolar may possibly have been a Form V practitioner since he favoured aggression negotiations.
Form V maintains its existence through having sufficient defensive skills, as derived from Form III, but channeling defense into offense. The example is commonly used that while Form III combatants effortlessly deflect laser bolts, Form V practitioners excel at redirecting the laser bolt toward the opponent. This simultaneously defends the user and efficiently injures the opponent. As well, it employs a basic form of Form II's parries, allowing the user to parry the attempted attack, and counter it. It is different from Form III in the fact that practictioners of Form V will press the assault, using wide, sweeping blows in an attempt to overwhelm the opponent with brute strength. The aggressive philosophy of Form V is the source of many a Jedi's disapproval.
Vader also created his own variant of Form V, where he would use only one hand to strike and defend, and have the other held casually by his side. This can be seen at the start of the duel in The Empire Strikes Back.
With the aggressive but yet refined movements of Form II and the highly defensive postures of Form III, Shien / Djem So has been proven to be an effective style.

Blue one is form II yellow one is form IV and red one is form V.
Blue is fast yet offensive and defensive, just like FOrm II. Yellow one is based around jumping, it's most special attacks are swirving your sword when jumping etc, so it's form IV, and red is very agressive and furious, yet slow.
They should've added Style VII.
If i may comment on this debate b/t Vader vs Katarn id like to analyze Vader's power by his duels with his apprentice Starkiller. On Corellia, he tried charging Vader head on and got a table slammed in his face. This is from The Force Unleashed so im not sure how accurate this is but during his fight with vader on the Death Star in your finishing move Starkiller was moving all over the place while Vader was staying in one place getting exhausted, moving to his fight with Darth Sidious he was attacking him head on with his own power and he overpowered Sidious by himself. That being said from looking at that angle it looks like Vader is stronger in the force than Sidious and if thats true than the question then becomes not if Katarn can beat Vader but can Katarn survive long enough to tire Vader out which il voice in my opinion i dont he can as he is no Starkiller in terms of power as Sidious even states that Starkiller is his equal in power.

What are you stupid? Blue is for Jedi Guardian, Green is for Consulate, and Yellow for Sentinel, and Red is for the Sith, Vrook Lamare tells you this in The Knights Of The Old Republic when you go to the Jedi Temple on Tatooine. You should have really played the game by now bro.
