No one said it was. Just that that is what he uses it for. It's Form IV by the way.
Form III is said to be a "defensive" form because it favors blocking and parrying maneuvers over attacking ones. Nothing more or less.
Form III practitioners let their opponents tire themselves out on offense. Then, when fatigue and/or frustration inevitably lead to a mistake and an opening, they strike.
It was developed at first as a blaster defense, but evolved from there into a more "rounded" defensive style.
Interesting piece of news, my friends. I hope there is a plausible game plan for th end of th series. Like will it bother tying into Episode III like the 2003 micro-series did? And the fate of Ahsoka Tano will be a selling point.
I've been thinking off and on this week about last week's "The Box."
Was it really that terrible or is it just me? Did we learn anything or was it a 22 minute filler? Maybe I watched it wrong but the momentum from the one previous fell completely flat.
We already knew Cad Bane was a badass and that Obi Wan is undercover. We knew Dooku is planning to capture Palps.

From the way Dooku was studying "Hardeen," and saying he sensed something about him, I was expecting him to figure out that he was a Jedi in disguise. So maybe that's the significance of this episode, but it won't pay off until the next.
Me too. Actually, given that they were together in AOTC, when Obi-Wan was being held prisoner, I was expecting Dooku to sense with the Force that it was really Obi-Wan.

i meant 2v1 against yoda
It was revealed with the death of Ian Abercrombie...who played Mr. Pitt on Seinfeld and the role of Palpatine on Clone Wars...that his vocal recordings have been completed through at least the 6th season. And as i recall, Dave Feloni said something about an overarching plan that can cover 10 seasons if necessary.
Filoni has also stated that he has an idea of how the series will end, he also has several different outcomes for Ahsoka.
Well Christopher may have been right seeing.
Also is Palpatine even trying to hide being a Sith Lord any more with all the evil smiling he was doing during that fight.

Get out your references to the films checklist.
Banquet - ESB
Duel - ROTS
"As long as I'm alive, Chancellor" - ROTJ
"The council lied to me!" - ROTS
All the set up with the bounty hunters seemed to result in a half-hearted finish...
Notice they use holo-disguises. They killed the inventor last episode (I think I never quite saw him die), might've been wise to keep him around and not put him in the square death trap maze.
"MORALLO EVAL will continue to refer to himself in third person when MORALLO EVAL goes back to prison"
No one is gonna ask Padme if she really had a banquet planned...not such an airtight plan, Palps, but thankfully everyone is stupid besides you.
Everyone is safe...cept those dead Naboo technicians. Whoops.
A wasted opportunity to use the red royal guard...guess that's too much cloth to animate.

About what, specifically?
That was the most interesting part, seeing his reactions. I had the impression that he deliberately arranged for this, knowing that Dooku would try for him and making sure Anakin would face him alone, as a test to see if Anakin was worthy to replace Dooku as his apprentice. So in a way it is foreshadowing RotS, even if it wasn't the same abduction plot.
And yeah, I noticed Anakin saying "No harm will come to you as long as I'm alive, Chancellor." It turns out he was off by about five minutes...
It kind of bothers me how many deaths Obi-Wan allowed to happen in the course of a plot to save just one person. I have to wonder if there couldn't have been a way to protect Palpatine without such a high death toll.
Oh, and one thing that occurred to me last week -- I'm puzzled by the way "ray shields" have been portrayed these past couple of episodes. I recall having it explained to me a few seasons ago that in Star Wars, ray shields block energy weapons but allow material objects and people to pass through. I think that was actually a key element of the battle at the beginning of the pilot movie, that the fighters themselves could pass through the ray shields. But here, the ray shields were treated more like standard sci-fi forcefields in that they prevented anyone from passing through them except that one alien. What gives?
According to Wookiepedia, deflector shields in come in two types: ray shields and particle shields, the former of which deflects energy beams and the latter of which deflects solid objects. I can't recall if they explicitly referred to the shields last week as "ray-shields" or not. Maybe it was just the other type?
They did explicitly call them ray shields both last week and this. That's why it struck me as odd.
Huh. Well, maybe they're consolidating the nomenclature. "Ray shields" does sound cooler than "particle shields" or "deflector shields" or just "shields."
Perhaps we can interpret it to mean "a shield made out of energy rays" rather than "a shield that blocks only energy rays."

This already happened in ROTS. But yes, it does seem to be a meaning of the term different from the one used in ANH. I guess TCW is just going forward with the ROTS version.
EDIT: In ANH, it was proton torpedoes that were intended to pass through the ray shields, not the fighters themselves. The fighters don't fit in the shaft.
