I'm probably a weirdo in that I like form 1. I like the simplicity of it. Here is how you swing the saber without killing or maiming yourself and how to do it to the people you want to instead. Now drill till it is second nature and let the force guide you on how best to murder-blender your enemies.
Form 2 is fencing with lightsabers. cool but not for me. Apparently some dudes with lightsabers realized they may need to fight other guys with lightsabers and came up with this. arguably one of the best styles for dueling though.
Form 3 is ultra defense. I like it but there needs to be more than that. I like playing tank though so if I picked up a secondary it would be this one.
Form 4 is crazy acrobatic xianxia wire flying shit. miss for me. is good at offense though and even remembers that dodging is a thing. burns through stamina quickly though. go figure jumping like a maniac does that.
Form 5 is when they remembered that you needed offense and defense at the same time, they then decided to split it into 2 halves 1 for lightsaber combat and 1 for blasters. because everything has a pokemon weakness.
form 6 is really just MMA with the previous forms. but most the Jedi who did it half assed it so they sucked. but a master at it would genuinely be scary.
Form 7 is another 2 parter. 1 requires shooting up with dark side energy. remember kids never ever do dark side energy. it is tough to kick that habit. The other works by reflecting someone else dark side energy back at them. so it really only works against fallen jedi and sith. admittedly that is likely to be the hardest fight you ever have as a jedi so it makes sense to plan for it. and you still got a big chance of falling even if you use the safer version.
Obviously most jedi knew more than just one form but most would focus on training one over the others. there is only so many hours in the day and especially in the republic era lightsaber fighting was kinda veiwed as less important.
or I could be completely off base with these thoughts.
