This has little to do with lightsaber fighting, Glentract. Palpatine was an old man. Yoda was a midget. Both contended rather well in lightsaber combat. True swordfighting is about SPEED.


She uses her off-hand.

Actually, she doesn't. It's her left hand she loses.


When was it shown that she knew all the lightsaber forms?

Not that she knew them all, but she has knowledge OF them. She basically instructs the Exile on the lightsaber forms if you ask, citing their strengths and weakness from a position of obvious familiarity. [/B]

I didn't think about that, but you are right, now that I think more about it. Still, she lost the hand that she planned to use against Sion. She may have very well been left-handed, since she seemed to perfer that hand.

SHe can say a little about them, but doesn't necessarily know much about them. Look at Coleman, her used a form that knows a little about all of the styles, but wasn't very good.

No, she wasn't left handed. Her default hand for equipping when she has two hands is her right, and when she holds the sword to fight Sion she is holding it in a distinctively right-handed fashion (With her left hand at the bottom).

And considering that KOTOR Jedi masters knew and taught multiple styles (As evidenced by Vrook and the others) it would be amazing if she didn't have some experience with them all, even if second hand.

And Coleman's style was a watered down version meant for people who never were expected to do serious fighting. Hence the nickname, "Diplomat's Style".
