Awesome. Do anyone of you have the book?

Well it still calls Ataru the acrobatic form. And Kenobi used a lot of acrobatics in that fight, which is actually disadvantaged in a closed space.
He probably mixed up Ataru and Soresu in that fight tbh.

Yep that's been clear for a while.

Good, they brought back Vaapad in the EU.
That was obvious since Ultimate SW stated Mace's style treaded the dark side.
Interestingly enough though, it's Djem So that's said to Turn an Opponents attack back onto them. So would make more sense if Mace used Djem So on Sidious 😕

Yay!
Where?

Djem So was always about strong counters. Not sure why that sounds new to you.
Because it was stated as a side thing (and never really shown). Now they've got that up as it's main description. So just saying now it would make more sense if that's what was used against Sidious, to deflect his own Power back onto him in a Saber battle.

I know but "Reflection of Dark Side Force Power" makes little sense, and has been a nightmare to deal with in debates. Especially since it was never displayed again.

Hopefully, they've dropped the whole "loop" thing with Vaapad. It was always stupid as hell and only ever appeared in the RotS novelization.

So Djem So should get on the short bus because Vaapad sounds dumb in the novel? Not getting the rational there.
Would make more sense to me that's all.
Cause, yeah, so far Vapaad's superconducting loop makes no sense at all to anybody here, no matter how much they claim they get it.
And Djem So's turning an opponent's attack back onto them would be a lot more rational and logical as an effective way to fight someone as Powerful and Aggressive as Sidious IMO.
They obviously won't do that though, seen as they're keeping Vapaad, and Mace's form is confirmed to skirt the Dark Side.
