Form "Zero" rather than Form I?

[Demiurge]

I was wondering: why do all Padawans start out with Form "Zero", which was not an actual combat form but an ethical principal, rather than Form I: Shii-Cho, the style which all Jedi are taught since their youngling days? Was this something decided in the last timeline or something?

Actually makes sense. I am now wondering the same. Thanks for pointing this out. I haven't noticed before, really.

I was pretty sure they started with Form I.

Theory before practical.

Cryptic... Well, I already have an idea what you're saying, but to be safe, elaborate please.

Form Zero is the teachings of when a lightsaber is to be used. Form I is how to actually use that lightsaber.

Technically, padawans should know both in the Jedi Order.

You learn the theory behind something before going though practical applications.

So is it safe to assume that Padawans can have Form I?

They can know the basics, they can't have mastered it.

Naturally, that's what I meant. It takes years and years to master styles. I think Kit Fisto was one of the few who did master Shii-Cho, come to think of it...

He was one of the few who actually wanted to.
