TL; DR Båda svaren är faktiskt korrekta, eftersom skillnaderna härrör från en teknik. De relevanta citaten är:
Vaapad is as aggressive and powerful as its namesake, but its power comes at great risk: immersion in Vaapad opens the gates that restrain one's inner darkness. To use Vaapad, a Jedi must allow himself to enjoy the fight he must give himself over to the thrill of battle. The rush of winning. Vaapad is a path that leads through the penumbra of the dark side.
Mace Windu created this style, and he was its only living master.
Revenge of the Sith novelization , sidan 329
Wookiepedia har denna citat uppräknad:
I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light. (Mace Windu to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Revenge of the Sith novelization)
Men enligt en google böckersökning finns det inte i romanen.
Från boken Shatterpoint , sa av Yoda:
Six there were for generations of Jedi. The seventh, is not well-known. Powerful form it is. Deadliest of all. But dangerous it is, for its master as well as its opponent. Few have studied. One student alone, to mastery has risen.
Det bör noteras att det var tekniskt två variationer av Form VII - Juyo och Vaapad. Juyo var den äldre versionen, lärde sig sparsamt även då bland Jedi och faller sedan av favör. Vaapad "återupptäcktes" av Windu, tillsammans med Sora Bulq . Wookiepedia-artikeln på den har följande att säga:
the mastery required to learn Form VII was such that only a select few would be allowed to utilize it; he forbade its study to all others. At least two users of its Vaapad variant during Drallig's tenure described the form as dangerous due to its focus on physical combat and intensity. For his part, Drallig refused to allow Anakin Skywalker to study Juyo, while Obi-Wan Kenobi was likewise forbidden to learn Vaapad by Qui-Gon Jinn.
...
Jaric Kaedan, a Jedi Master who fought in the Great Galactic War, was a master of the form—which was known as Juyo-Kos by that time—and he was considered a living weapon guided by the will of the Force itself. Another Great Galactic War combatant, the Sith Lord Scourge also employed Juyo...Another Sith Lord of that era, Darth Bane, was proficient in the use of Juyo.
När det gäller varför termen Vaapad
visas i Darth Bane , finns det följande:
The Sith apprentice Sirak in Darth Bane: Path of Destruction was stated to be a Vaapad practitioner, long before the style was created by Mace Windu. At a book signing in Huntington Beach, California, author Drew Karpyshyn said, "I meant Juyo, but it was a late night when I wrote that and didn't catch it until it was too late. That's one mistake I wish to God I could change. So when you read it and see 'Vaapad', just pretend it says 'Juyo.'" Star Wars Insider 92 later explained it by stating that "juyo" was another term for the vaapad creature the form was named after.
