And as far as ineffective lightsabers tactics go, I think Pong Krell takes the cake, followed by Maris Brood, and maybe the absolutely rediculous dark saber kantana thingy[/quote]

I don’t understand any of this.( I mean the attached picture of Luke)

Honestly, I just like the cute MS paint graphic.

There’s gotta be more to the lightsabre than they’re showing. Having those two side prongs would make it impossible to wield as you’d stab yourself or cut your own hands off at the wrist. Maybe a force field or projectiles or something. [/quote]

I’m totally behind the idea that Force users are the battery for their own lightsabers. Explains the difference in color, design and use.

Nope. Han Solo - Hoth. Cut open a Tonton… And then there’s General Grevious.

Yeah, I personally don’t really like that idea.

An advanced lightsaber model, then. Like a Jedi version of Mjonir. Personalized to the owner and mentally controlled.

Yeah, that’s a bit better. Sort of fits with Sith stuff especially, like the one portrayed they would be red for passionate and somewhat unstable due to their emotions - or some shite like that.[/quote]

That was pretty much my train of thought. Any Force-sensitive individual could use a lightsaber, but the color and intensity would change with the user. So a Sith could wield a fallen Jedi’s saber but it would glow red.

I thought the color had something to do with the crystal used?

That’s correct. I just dig the idea of a lightsaber having some internal connection to the user and isn’t just an independent construct (probably goes back to my memories of those Kenner figures having lightsabers that came out of their arms).

Anyway, a Sith broadsword is no more wrong than Sam Jackson asking for and getting a purple saber just because he liked the color.

Right potential (preternatural flying ability and instincts), wrong personality.

Each shot is so dense, there’s just so much going on.

now that… is funny.

I’m pretty sure the cannon is that lightsaber color is determined by the crystal used and is consistent for a given lightsaber regardless of who is wielding it.

Examples:
–Darth Vader ignites Luke’s green lightsaber in RotJ and it’s green.
–In E2, Anakin wields a green lightsaber in the end battle that is thrown to him, even though his personal saber is blue. Obi-Wan throws his blue lightsaber to Anakin who proceeds to simultaneously wield and blue lightsaber and a green lightsaber.
–Anakin uses his blue lightsaber even after he has clearly turned to the dark side. he only gets a red lightsaber once he makes a red one.

Also, there is no indication that a lightsaber cannot be turned on by anybody. It’s just that force powers are required before it becomes an effective weapon.

Correct on all points. Let’s go back to roasting the practical use of a fictional weapon.

Lol

Your point has made me quite interested in the new lightsabre now tho, so bravo.

Since the blade looks so unstable, sort of like fire spewing from the hilt. I would love if some your ideas were the reason for that and Luke kept his standard crystal one. It is 30 years on after all so technology may have improved or perhaps it would be a more ancient and insidious design from a time forgotten.

Btw, possible rumours are that the snowy forest is actually Endor in the midst of a nuclear winter following DS2’s destruction, that would be fucking wild lol.

IIRC, red light saber crystals are artificial in nature, so maybe that could explain why it seems so unstable and flickery.
Then again, Obi-Wans saber in A New Hope was a little similar. Maybe it’s age related?
