That's not the point... Noen of Sidious' overhead moves are directly reflective of Japanese sword techniques. Hell, just picking up a Japanese sword influences how you swing it. But Gillard said lightsaber duelling was closer to kendo in the OT because of the blade shape, and he began to expand on that with the PT, using techniques more varied. He may have used SOME Japanese techniques, but not nearly as many as jpsmith implies.
And that is a good point... Since when is Bushido, Sun TZu, Ninpo and al that tied in together?

Since our Sixteen-Year-Ninja-Trained "jpsmith5" says that that overhead move is from Ninjitsu, which is horribly false information.

So much anger.
I think Darth Janus summed up all the important points, but let me add that there are overhead sword swinging moves in many samurai disciplins. And why are so many people using Ninja as examples? Samurai pwn Ninja, because samurai fight for honor, and Ninja fight for money.

That is THE MOST pathetic sentence i have EVER seen in MY LIFE.
