Star Wars: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Anakin Skywalker
5. He's A Master Of Multiple Duelling Styles
As already alluded to, Anakin Skywalker was very much famed for his ability with a lightsaber, going on to become one of the most decorated and respected generals the Republic had to offer in the Clone Wars.
So, it likely comes as little surprise to discover that Obi-Wan's brother from another mother was actually well versed in a number of lightsaber combat forms. With there being seven forms in total, Anakin clearly saw the advantage in brushing up on as many as possible before taking on everything from droids to Dark Lords of the Sith.
And it was because of this dedication to perfecting his blade craft that he ultimately ended up becoming somewhat of a master of multiple styles.
Form IV (a.k.a Ataru), a style known for being aggressive and using Force-assisted attacks, and Form V (Shien and Djem So), a style suited to attacks from a distance and blade-on-blade combat, are just a few of the ways Skywalker opted to get the job done with his lightsaber in hand.
It was also said that Anakin actually bested many a Jedi Knight who claimed to be masters of each of the seven forms over the course of his rise.
