Are the 7 lightsbers form still canon?

I guess not since they were named in the Episode II Visual Dictionary, but they were mentioned in some movie novelizations, so they might be canon?

They've been mention in regards to CW stuff on the official website and yeah, they're in the novelisations so they're canon.

Nope. Not any more. The novelizations are only canon "where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie." And the only CW stuff that is canon is the movie (and part of it's novel).

The entire CW is canon and the novelizations are canon so there canon

Nope. The CW series never mentions any of the forms and only the parts of the novelization taken from the movie are canon (the G-canon parts).

Nope. The forms are never mentioned (in canon material) and therefore never canonized. The closest it ever comes is when Luminara claims she recognizes Dooku's style when dueling Ventress.

I don't know. The basic concept of them seems to have been adopted by TCW. Dooku is clearly a one handed fencer, Kenobi is clearly a defensive fighter. Remember elements of the eu do get used in mainstream canon from time to time, hence the appearance of Quinlan Vos.

Aren't you the guy who pointed out the Starwars official website calling Sidious a master of all lightsaber forms? Shouldn't that make them canon?

It wasn't the website.

The forms were based on how the characters fought in the movies. So having the characters in TCW emulate how they fought in the movies mean it will appear that they are using the 7 forms.

Depends if TCW-specific Encyclopedias, Guidebooks, Episode Guides, etc. are canon(I don't see why they wouldn't be), because they definitely reference the forms of combat...

Various forms of lightsaber combat were also mentioned in the official TCW Episode Guide:

More evidence can be provided if need be. Anywho, I think the forms of combat are still very much canon, tbh. srug

So how/why does the forms of combat concept not align with what we see in the films..? You realize how subjective that is, right?

Because they aren't (mentioned) in the films... The only parts of the novelizations that are canon is the stuff from the film, basically the G-canon content.

It's more accurate now to say that "styles" exist. Personal, nameless, unofficial ways of using a saber, instead of detailed, official, strict manners of duel.
