Was Rey using Form 2 (Makashi) when fighting Kylo Ren?

they've kept elements of the EU from before the films, Malachor V is mentioned in the imperial handbook and the events of the Mandalorian wars are in the bounty hunter guide, which are all cannon as far as I know

I just always assumed Jawas were jumpy by nature, as well as from usually being up to sticky-fingered no good.

Once again, time to ask Kham-Ryn Man if those reference books are classified under new canon.

I agree with the chicken and egg analogy. I just wonder how much Lucas used the OT to setup things for the prequels. For example, did he watch individual scenes and ask, "Why/how did that happen?" In this case, did he (or other writers) ask the questioms, "Why would those creatures react at the sight of the jedi?" If he was looking to fill the gap and answer those questions, then I think the massacre scene makes sense both in Anakin's turn to the dark side and connecting it to those scenes in ANH.  Again, we only see them reaction when Luke appears. I once heard an author say that when describing a scene, you don't mention the shotgun over the mantle unless someone takes it and blows someone else away with it.  That particular scene just seems too intentional of a cut, to me.

And that's the beautiful thing about the Prequels! It answers so many questions that arise when you watch the OT.

All of them are unfortunately labeled under the "Legends" classification.

However, there are things within that are still considered canon on their own.

Let me guess. Anything that is a direct reference to material used in the movies or TCW?

Rey I think was just going on instinct. Just a "Hey. This is a lightsaber. Let me use it so I don't die." Kind of mentality. Although she looked composed and calm I am sure in her mind she was think "Oh crap. If I make one wrong move I am dead.

As for Kylo Ren I agree with everyone saying that he used a mixture of Form V and VII. Especially VII when he decimated Finn in mere seconds.

He used Form V in hopes of defending off against the lightsaber due to the surprise of Rey's better combat prowess then Finn. But he was mostly only using Form V because he was slowly getting weaker from his injury by the hands of Chewbacca. The only reason Kylo lost was due to losing blood from his previous injury and the surprise and shock of seeing that Rey was capable of wielding a lightsaber. Nothing more.
