Why we choose to drive cars with 4 wheels instead of having the vehicles convert to 2 wheel use on the highway for better fuel efficency and have deployable wing sections for lift or downforce in sharp turning..

    First off, it's not very ideal to be a jack of all trades when it comes to fighting. Simplicity and efficiency are often more than enough, like Dooku. Secondly, the problem with double bladed sabers is that you gain an extra blade but not an extra weapon. You get an unwieldly staff that you now have to avoid as well and you can still only employ one blade at a time. The enemy also only has to keep track of one side, because the other side can only mirror it. You might catch an opponent off guard by dividing them, but that's a one time trick and if you don't end it there you've no longer got an advantage. It's just better to have a plan that could work even if the enemy knows about it than to try for a surprise.

So if in that instance you could detach one of the blade without losing your weapon I think is a good deal... You can discard one blade and go for only one.. True maybe can be considered one time trick if the enemy know your fighting style... But I think combined with different forms of combat could become more complex... A lot of jedi later on don't study all the forms but usually create an amalgamation from them... Because don't have the time and the jedi order backing them up.... That's why unusual kind of lightsaber become more common... Like the saber blaster made by erzra. I think you could use more than one time as a trick... You could start with one blade with the second hidden.... Then put out the second and go dual welding and then go saberstaff... Or made all believe you are a saberstaff user they try to cut your staff in half an you devide them and strike...

    The reason Ahsoka has a shoto is because she was using a reverse grip on her saber. Reverse grip isn't very good at rapidly blocking blaster fire at short range. Just look at the fight on alderaan between Ahsoka and the bounty Hunter. Anikan encouraged her to start dual wielding.

    I remember reading several articles from swordsman and historians doing tactical analysis of Lightsabers, and they stated Lightsaber combat irl would look more like Fencing as opposed to the flashy swordplay seen in Star Wars. This is because the entire blade is lethal. Just a single poke or puncture can result in lethal damage.

    It would probably be some kind of cross between rapier and military saber, rather than Olympic fencing which is structured around a rather strict set of rules. However it would be modified to account for the extreme lack of weight in the blade, which makes "power strikes" rather pointless since momentum requires mass.

    Dual wielding is fun, but also more confusing and limiting than you'd expect until you try, it really does take a lot of practice to get good at it. For a greater immiate advantage with less longer term training go for the curved hilt. When I saw Attack of the Clones for the first time my inclination was to think that the curved hilt was a silly gimmick that wouldn't actually make a helpful difference in combat. Then I built one on a whim, gave to to my brother, and dueled him with my normal straight hilt: normally he was a near match for for me, I being able to almost always beat him after a few minutes of wearing him out and then using a feint, dodge, or grappling to get him, but this time he and I were both surprised and thrown off our rhythm. He nearly eating my saber twice in the first couple blows because of how much the curved hilt changed the angle of his blocks, and me then getting smacked upside the head because the subtle change in the angle of his attacks caused me to misjudged a parry.

    The reason that people in real life by and large don't wield is because it is usually better to use your second hand with a shield, or a two handed weapon. And a lot of people in certain places and times did dual wield. While it is hard, almost no one walks into battle armed with only one single handed weapon. It's always better to have anything in your off hand, even including a coat.

    After spending some time in the Lightsaber Dojo on my Oculus Quest 2, I can confirm that although dual wielding lightsabers looks cool and is fun, it's compromised. You don't have any free hands to force choke, push or grab opponents - so you are purely reliant on the sabers, which are actually quite difficult to coordinate effectively. I played around with dual wielding for a while and then went back to a single saber with a free hand for force powers - and was far more effective.

    I researched dual wielding for a book I am writing and from my finding I am writing that having a reverse (ice pick) grip would be used mainly for defensive actions. catching and deflecting incoming attacks and counter slashing, where as a forward grip is used for attacking and flipping between these grips would change the attack patterns. Also in fighting multiple opponents having both blades in a reverse grip would be a mainly defensive battle focusing on counter attacking while deflecting multiple incoming blows.

    Historically, dual wielding was not only well developed in some places, but a signature of certain schools of duelling. Used almost exclusively after the age of the firearm had begun, when armour and shields were less useful, it provided an extra block or attack in fencing. Often the second blade had extra features, for trapping an opponent’s blade, even if for only a moment, even breaking them.

    I can totally agree. I'm using Dual wielding at HEMA contact fighting. (using two sabers)⚔️ It took very long time to learn fighting with the other hand, including training the small muscles. Also it took a lots of extra time for learning very special movements to not accidentally hit your self. In the end, I can truly be two enemies at the same time and attack way more fast, aggressive and with strong variations on my opponents. But after 5 to 10 minutes it is extremely exhausting in mind. After a good fight, my head feels like a burning volcano. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    Energy sheild have the ability to be fluid or stiff. It sounds like the bending and warping spacetime combined with a superfluid that can disperse energy, perhaps quantum tunneling to redirect energy in multiple directions. Occilating magnetic feild can disrupt spacetime and have the ability to polarize to push or pull. Extending a magnetic feilds width in one direction without losing strength could also contain plasma. Also would allow you shape it to be flexible like a whip.

    Allen, love what you're doing here. Big fan! Wanted to comment and ask a question. As a life long practitioner of martial arts, I think your assessment of dual-wielding lightsabers is pretty believable due to force users being pre-cognitive and the light-weight of lightsabers. On Earth there is close to no historical record of dual-wielding actually being a thing, outside of Filipino Eskrima and Miyamoto Musashi's own home-brew style. Mainly for reasons you cited around lack of coordination and using the off-hand to hold a shield, which was common since armor was not developed to the point of full plate for lack of technology to create large enough plates for it! However, once full plate was all the rage, weapons had to be developed to open those cans up. Enter the two-handed swords, poleaxes, etc. My question is around the reverse grip. If there's little historical precedence for dual-wielding, there is even less so around reverse grip. At least for swords. The whole idea around the sword was distance advantage. It's very natural for a mammal to raise their arm and bring it down holding a hafted weapon like an axe, or even a rock. We see monkeys do this, too (with rocks!) What is not natural is to stand in front of danger with a pointy object. That takes significant training to override the instinct to use a sword as a metal club (or how we see Rey fight with a lightsaber, which she swings like a baseball bat). The only reverse grip sword techniques I'm aware of can be seen in European treaties is a murder stroke. Either on horseback to take down those annoying foot soldiers grabbing at you, or to direct your blade in-between those pesky impenetrable plates. Otherwise, a reverse grip completely negates all the range advantage and cutting leverage of a sword. Even defensively this does not make sense because you don't want to receive a blow with a sword directly and risk snapping your blade. Best practice is to redirect a blow or receive the blow closer to the hilt where more of the force can be absorbed into your hands/body. But generally that's if you're unarmored. In full plate you'd be like a tank, just taking hits while mowing down anyone in your way with your two-handed death instrument. Also, unless we're looking at legends there seems very little, if any, precedence for reverse grip in canon. It feels like Ahsoka was provided this style to make her character pop, which I consider lazy writing. It's like in The Last Kingdom where Uhtred it the only character who carries his sword on his back. No one in all of history did this! Mainly because it is much slower to draw from your back than your hip, and it's physically impossible to draw a blade from behind you when the blade is longer than your arm! Back scabbards and reverse grip are the fallacies of ninja comics and Hollywood. And for that matter, where did Ahsoka learn this technique from anyway?! Aniken certainly didn't teach it to her or we would have seen him use reverse grip. OK, rant over. Sorry, I get worked up. I'm interested in your response to this given you put a lot of Star Wars into believable and understandable context.

    If I were to have a lightsaber dueling style it would be a fusion of soresu, makashi and ataru. I would duel wield using a standard blade in the main hand and a curved shoto in the offhand. The lynchpin of the fighting style is that I would master force telekinesis to such a degree that I could use it to duel from a distance with my main blade while keeping my offhand weapon to block and parry. Use the ataru to dash in to seize an opening created with the main sabre or to gain distance if things start getting too hairy. At the pinnacle of the style I would have the ability to maintain control of my lightsaber even in the midst of an intense lightsaber duel, using the blade to strike at foes from all sides while I keep myself safe and wait for an opening.
