History

Form XI: Vaapad (Juyo variant) Sometimes used as another name for Form VII itself, Vaapad is in fact a "sub-form" of Juyo. The term 'Vaapad' comes from a non-sentient predator on the planet Serapin and its moons. A vaapad has no less than seven tentacles, while the largest ever killed had twenty-three. However, the tentacles moved so extremely fast that no one could actually count the tentacles until the monstrosity was slain. Standard Juyo contains sleek, fast movements with strong strikes, whereas Mace Windu's specialized Vaapad focuses the use of the Force and emotion to fuel attacks normally used in Juyo. Regular Juyo can be mastered (or at least ""sub-mastered"") much more easily than Vaapad, but Juyo can never truly be used to its full extent unless training in Vaapad is taken.
However, Vaapad borders on the edge of using the Dark Side, as it channels one's anger and darkness into the attack. Only Windu's mastery and concentration of the Light Side prevents him from succumbing, which is why Vaapad is rarely practiced and very dangerous. Vapaad gives the user a unique position for fighting Dark Side users, for when mastered, it allows the user to draw upon the Dark Side's strength.
