lol, question mik if what you said is true about fencing, and this person is a damn good fencer, wouldn't he know that this guy ment danger, and fuckin throw out the PERFECT HEART stab? I would, if it was serious, i'd for a quick and decisive blow to cripple him/kill him, lessening my chances of losing. Though i'd have to see a REAL life example of a fencer getting beat by someone with a knife.
Yes all motion requires thought, it's how we live. Btw does breathing require thought? and does a heartbeat require thought?

...why are you two argueing over the Fencer versus the Crazy Knife Guy? I'd rather wonder about the Samurai versus the Saxons. Woohoo! Go ancient war! Guns suck! Sword and arrows, that I can respect.

But thats not fencing now is it. the two points i'm trying to make here, is that there's a difference between sticking to your moronic "Form" and playing for keeps. I play for keeps. i'm not going to let some stupid lightsaber style tell me that i can't block that shot, or i can't make that killing blow because it doesn't fit my style. I'm not going to let some old ass jedi battlemaster tell me to master Soresu because it offers perfect defense. Instead, i'm going to say, hey, i'll do my own thing instead, still have perfect defense and i'll attack when i want. and that a choreographed 5 minute duel for a movie isn't going to tell me how effective a weapon is. And even if i am, i'm going to look at the guy who got cut in half and sent down a huge hole in the ground and think very skeptically about his choices in life.

Double-Blade.
It may stink if you think about it combat wise, but if you add telekinetic lightsaber combat to it, a double-bladed lightsaber is MUCH more deadly.

Single-hilt definitely. And here comes my reason:
As long as I can remember, single-hilt has always triumphed over dual and double-bladed sabers in the movies; ie Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan vs. Grievous (Although in my opinion the duel between Obi and Grievous was just plain stupid: Grievous should have won).

I know.
How the hell is an experienced CIS General and Jedi Killer easily "disarmed"?

Dual Lightsabers definitely.
Dual Sabers leave a path of destruction in their wake and unlike a double-blade, it provides better defense

Also When you say fencer what kind of weapon are we talking about, becuase you can use a sword as a fencing weapon or you can use those thin ass swords for the jabbing. Everyone in battle has their own style mik, if you LEARN a form, you LEARN to implement those technices into your "style". If you see 2 people fighting with the same trainning they will use different styles of fighting, one may be more agressive, one may use throws, one may be passive, or use alot of kicks, but it's still the same FORM.

My choice is definantly a double-bladed lightsaber I've always been fascinated by them ever since I saw The Phantom Menace and you must admit they are pretty badass ;D

Single Sabers provide a balanced style that has the ability to flow from technique to technique. This choice is easily the most versatile.
Double-Bladed Sabers are more difficult to use, and impractical, but once you gain skill with them, they are tremendously deadly.
Dual Sabers provide the most aggressive approach to battle, and can be used in many creative and strategic ways.
I prefer Dual Sabers myself.

I'd go with single hilt because - A sith lightsaber ( the one with 1 hilt and 2 blades) is extremely hard to master AND a lot of the basic moves in combat would require you stabbing yourself/slicing of a limb.
- 2 lightsabers require a lot of concentration and being able to watch both blades either through the force or through your eyes to avoid chopping of your legs and/or other limbs.
- a single bladed lightsaber would be SOOOOOO much easier to wield ans master!

Just to be unique, I would go with dual tonfa-style lightsabers. "The guard shoto's design allowed for a wide variety of blocking, trapping, jabbing and slashing techniques making it a versatile and extremely dangerous weapon in the hands of someone trained to wield it properly. Likewise, it could be very hazardous in the hands of one unskilled in its use, both for the wielder and the opponent." starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Guard_shoto

I personally favor dual sabers. People tend to forget that you don't HAVE to use both lightsabers at the same time. Having two sabers and having the skill with them only means you CAN use two if you want to.
As was mentioned before Forms are integrated into the way you fight, the same way martial arts katas or fencing maneuvers would be integrated into the fighting style of someone skilled in them.
To the person who mentioned splitting a double-bladed saber, it's not actually workable with a normal double-bladed saber. You would have to design the staff saber to split in two specifically. It's much easier to design two single blade sabers to connect at the base.

I prefer doubles. So far the double sabers have messed people up pretty badly. I mean, maul only lost because he grew confident and obi jumped over him while using qui-gons saber.
