as to the differences in hand position - that's how they were posed in the references i found, but i'm sure you could assign deeper meaning based on the characters. the jedi in front, luminara, is very calm and serene, and i feel like the horizontal hand could signify that she lets the force move through and around her, guiding her actions. the middle jedi is obi-wan, who is very snarky, and his two fingers extended post often looks a bit like he's taunting his opponent, which is very on brand for him. the jedi in back is depa, and she values questions and teaching, and i'm not sure how her vertical hand plays into that, but i could probably bullshit something if i thought about it a little longer lol.
