| abstract | - The first form of lightsaber combat developed, Shii-Cho is the most similar to the ancient unarmed combat styles. It utilizes the most physical combat out of all the forms, and is also one of the most chaotic, second to Juyo.
- Form I: Shii-Cho, or "the Way of the Sarlacc," was the simplest of the lightsaber fighting forms. The form involves standing absolutely still and waiting for your opponent to impale him or herself on your motionless blade. (Hence, "the way of the Sarlacc": a creature who waits for its prey to leap into its mouth.) Form I was invented thousands of years ago when most of the enemies of the Jedi were simple 8-bit computer sprites with very poor AI. Later, when they began playing against sentient opponents, they had to upgrade their fighting forms. Common elements of Shii-Cho included
* oops ouch, or pierce: wait for your opponent to impale himself in the torso
* choppy thump, or slice: wait for your opponent to drag one of his limbs across the blade, thus removing the limb
* whump facepalm, or decapitation: wait for your opponent to cut his own head off with your blade
- Form I: Shii-Cho, the Way of the Sarlacc, or the Determination Form, is the first of the seven classic forms of lightsaber combat. As the weapons technology of the lightsaber was developed, the need for a form of combat arose. Thus Form I was born. Shii-Cho is the most ancient style of lightsaber combat, developed by early Jedi Masters to incorporate key principles of ancient sword-fighting traditions. One of the marks of contact, sun djem, was a goal of early Form I duelists, as disarming or destroying the opponents' weapons could ensure victory without causing injury, which is always a Jedi objective. However with the rise of Form II, sun djem became nearly impossible as Makashi duelists were well trained to prevent their own weapons being taken or destroyed. Form I, like its succeeding forms, includes the following basic techniques and concepts:
* Attack: A set of attacks aimed at different body zones.
* Parry: A set of blocks to thwart any attack in the specified body zones.
* Body Target Zones: (1 - head, 2 - left arm, 3 - right arm, 4 - back, 5 - upper left leg, 6 - upper right leg, 7 - lower left leg, and 8 - lower right leg)
* Training drills called velocities. During the Old Jedi Order, Younglings started out by learning Form I before beginning a Padawan apprenticeship with a Jedi Master. Their training included learning to deflect plasma bolts from training remotes.
