The names of the saber forms do appear in KoToR2, but they didnt invent them. Those are the established forms and Knights just made it common knowledge. Those people who are familar with Star Wars RPG would have already known about the saber forms.
Oh and yes, Lightsaber Master = LJK/reb Jedi, Darksaber Master =DJK/imp Jedi

i like it, saber mastery has always been the one thing i wanted on my jedi, and even post cu when its not really a must i still keep it, i just wish it was better and more fun than it currently is. Atleast pre cu it was a bit of fun and fast paced. now its like
Armor break,
saberthrow
powerattack
*other person gets up*
i get armor broken,
i get kd
KD recovery
heal
Armor break.
Its just so boring!

Very nice work. As a suggestion, because basic Armour Break is currently ina Tier 2 box, then put it in the Tier 2 box for all of the forms, similar to the way basic Centre of Being is peppered throughout Brawler. This way a core ability is available for a non-Master in their favourite saber style. I think it's too powerful an ability for the Novice box.
Also, perhaps changing the titles to "Saber Master" vice "Master" (eg. Soresu Saber Master) to make it more accessible to all players, not just those who happen to be up on saber lore. In Star Wars the word "saber" is automaticallyinterpreted as "lightsaber" by most.

This is not a "twitch" game, therefore any "twitch" based elements like your "saberlock" have no place in Star Wars Galaxies.
Apart from the rest of your proposal.... it's interesting, but many of the special attacks, stances, and abilitiesyou've listed are more than a little overpowered when you consider the *other* four Jedi skill trees.
And Ataru was the lightsaber form that Yoda used....

I know that full well, as did Qui Gon and Obi when he was a Padawan, whats your point?
Makashi has to eb 1 handed because its a fencing style. Shein is a 2 handed only style. Where else does Ataru go? And seeing as Double-Bladed is so agile and acrobatic, the only two styles you can assign to it and keep a striaght face are Ataru or Juyo. While certain attributed Double-Bladed users did use Juyo, that style is not for the dabbler, so i assigned it to MLS and had Ataru for **4*.
