Lightsaber Forms Known:
Form II: Makashi "Way of the Ysalamir" or "Contention Form"
After Form I's proliferation as a lightsaber combat technique, Form II came about as a means of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. It was described as being very elegant, powerful, and requiring extreme precision, allowing the user to attack and defend with minimal effort, while his opponents tired themselves out. Practitioners often wielded the blade one-handed for greater range of movement and fluidity. The form relied on parries, thrusts, and small, precise cuts—as opposed to the blocking and slashing of the other forms. Form II countered sun djem, the goal of early Form I masters, by being well trained in prevention of disarming and weapon destruction.
Form II emphasized fluid motion and anticipation of a weapon being swung at its target, and so required very fluid movements of both the blade and the body. The footwork of Makashi practitioners followed a single line, front and back, shifting the feet to keep in perfect balance as the practitioner attacked and retreated. Makashi was a style based on balance, on back-and-forth charges, thrusts, and sudden retreats.[2] Elegance, gallantry, enchantment, finesse, artfulness, and economy were the core of Makashi. Dooku displayed this to the extreme during the duel aboard the Invisible Hand, using his footwork to evade Anakin and Obi-Wan so that he could fight them one-on-one instead of at the same time. Makashi duelists also trained themselves to avoid enslavement to form, as such enslavement opened the practitioner to be defeated by predictability and the unforeseen.
Makashi users were often elegant, precise, calm, confident to the point of arrogance (as befit Dooku's personality). Form II users were supremely confident in their chances for victory, and often looked so relaxed when they were fighting they even appeared to be dancing.

Form III: Soresu "Way of the Mynock" or "Resilience Form"
Originally, Form III was developed as a counter to blaster weapons used by multiple opponents. Due to the rise in distribution of blaster weapons, more and more Jedi were forced to adopt a fighting style which allowed them to combat enemies firing from several directions, mostly basing their "attack" on redirected blaster fire. Previous styles had allowed wide, sweeping strokes which left the Jedi open to blaster fire. Form III, however, required maintaining a constant shield of deflective strokes by making short, quick sweeps, close to the body, leaving the Jedi less exposed to ranged fire. Form III was the most defensive of the seven forms.

Hilt Description:
The hilt of Joseph's lightsaber is exclusive only to him. If someone was to find it lying on the floor in the middle of Coruscant, they would know who to give it to. One unique feature is that the hilt is slightly curved. Giving Joseph a more comfortable lightsaber and helps him slightly during combat. Another special feature is a beautiful design that takes place on the side. Which is a small painting of Nomi Sunrider, and beside her is Joseph's former Jedi Master, Kalisha. This way he can look upon his lightsaber, and see both of his heroes, which he draws strength from.

History:
The next test for Joseph, would be to construct his own lightsaber. Before Joseph entered the ancient lightsaber construction room located on Coruscant, Kalisha, like all the other Jedi Masters before her, gave her Padawan some words of advice before he entered. She told Joseph that a lightsaber was not a tool, but an extension of yourself, and on that note, Joseph entered the chamber. Kalisha awaited outside the chamber, and in a few days, Joseph emerged with lightsaber in hand.

"What color did you choose?" Kalisha asked curiously.

"The color of my beautiful master's eyes." Joseph said as his lightsaber switched on, embodying a brilliant emerald green color.

(Force Rage is basically allowing you to go bullistic with the force push and pull. Your rank determines what you can do however. Sith lord/JediMasters can move objects the sixe of imperial crusiers, [Dark] Jedi knights can move Objects the Size of At-ats. Jedis can move Normal Ships and Pods. Padawans cant access the Force Rage. Force rage last for three posts. The downside however is that you cant move after entering this mode for one turn
