He uses a very unique technique, not many jedi (or sith for that matter) wield a lightsaber like that

Dowlphin Featured By Owner May 9, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

Almost impossible to effectively fight like this especially when dual-wielding.
He's probably just doing it to show off before the actual fight.

Lucario-Stl Featured By Owner May 25, 2014

Actually, with enough training, both dual-wielding and hand turned hold are surprisingly effective. I should know, its the only way I fight.

Dowlphin Featured By Owner May 25, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

Hm, now I'm curious. Know a video showing that style?

Lucario-Stl Featured By Owner May 25, 2014

The style of holding the blade to your back is technically part of a bigger style of combat. Ahsoka Tano is one of the more know users of two blades and the hand-turn hold, though still "refining" her ability's she tends to put one blade behind and one forward, more of a common defensive "loop" as I would call it.

Here is a video link of one of her battles: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e9kxU…
Not one of her best, but it gets my point across.

Dude, that's fiction!

Lucario-Stl Featured By Owner May 25, 2014

Star Wars is fiction, that is true, however even in fiction there is a bit of truth. The Idea for the Back hand is meant for Back and Leg Defense and as I have said before, technically used best with a combination of combat stances and grips, duel wielding is a bit trickier since you have to coordinate with the other blade.
As for the link its the best I got with a Back-Handed user, for the Back-hand is best with combos, but hay if not happy try the
Ryan vs. Brandon 2 video by Ryan Wieber at the 1:44 mark. Its a good video of the duel wielding concept.
Link for the Video if you want:

More questions, don't mind answering if I can

Dowlphin Featured By Owner May 25, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

I couldn't spot any back hand use even in 1-sword there. (There were regular defensive moves with dual wield which looked quite alright.) There's some fancy sword rotating (one of several things in that video that are as much for show only as they would be foolish to do in a real fight) and then it goes bō style.
And you said it yourself: back hand is about defense - about having the blade close to the body like a shield. Sword are long, thing pieces of metal for a reason: range. If you keep shielding yourself, the offense is lacking.
I guess I could assume that switching between both grip styles could make sense if a special situation occurs.
In the drawing above, from within the fictional context, maybe he intends to use his jedi powers to spin like a buzzsaw through the opponents or something. ... But imagine one of his opponents (and there are several) force-pushed him back. Imagine how much higher the danger of hurting yourself with your own blade would be with the blades pointing backwards.
So my original point, as I said it, was that it looks like he's 'showing off' ... not unlike the guys in the Ryan vs. Brandon video.
Fight scenes actually become more interesting and exciting if they are believable, meaning that when the fighters can allow themselves luxuries like fancy showing-off, the sense of immediate mortal danger fades.
BTW here's a really funny video about the duality of showing off vs. real goal-oriented fighting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipx_GM…
