Rikkster Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hmm, on the other hand, wasn't that Dark Jedi on Dagobah mentioned only in the Timothy Zahn Thrawn trilogy? 'Cos I didn't think it was stricly canonical. And there's enough other stuff in the novels that the films are making look stupid. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd say it was the other way round. Timothy Zahn's books were ace, whereas the new films make me vomit with anger. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 have to say I'm with Rikkster on this one: the books were hardly Booker Prize shortlist material, but the new films a smegging AWFUL. the action scenes are the only redeeming feature of them, and even they suffer from the fabled "heavy hand of Lucas". the man needs to learn his limitations, I say.

dirty mao Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Zahn's books were the smash. the new movies give me an immense hate-boner. as for lightsaber, i'd have to go with a silver one, and a greenish-gold one (ala best crystals in KOTOR 1). and, of course, the appropriate two-weapon-fighting feats.

Snake Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 The color of the lightsaber isnt based on want the jedi wants or likes, they all have different crystals that give it different attributes and a color to tell them apart; really the jedi's job is what chooses which color he gets, like green is sentinel, blue is guardian, etc. /geek Anyways, Id want a green one.

Don't think it had the sink plug hole like Luke's does (look closely and you'll see the end of his sabre where the blade comes out is from a sink) Link to post Share on other sites
dirty mao Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 snake, that only refers to the old-style jedi's, from the days of the old republic. the "modern" jedi chooses his or her (or even it's) own crystal, which gives it the color. some go on a quest to find their crystal, some fabricate theirs. and lightsabers don't have "attributes" like in KOTOR :-P Link to post Share on other sites
Thomme Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yellow... it's majestic, bright, enigmatic and the blade of the Jedi Sentinel, a well balanced school of training that's students are very well rounded and apabtable, most likely to survive Imperial occupation.

Some Jedi choose to have multiple crystals so that they can change the length and colour at will, however this is not always a good thing to do as Corran Horn found out when his went fizzle pop! If I remember correctly, the Jedi makes the crystal using a force ritual which can take weeks or maybe months, however during the genocide of the Jedi at the end of the clone wars they learnt a way of making them in a couple of days, although they were inferiour in quality (hence Corran's slight mishap) Link to post Share on other sites

Sledge Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I thought the crystals were naturally occurring (apart from those in Sith sabers, which are synthetic), but that the lightsaber was assembled with the Force, allowing the components to bond at the molecular level and allow increased performance? Anyhoo, haven't got the expensive (£90-100) replicas, but I do have some of the £20 light up ones (Qui-Gon's, Darth Maul's and Darth Tyranus') and my favorite: the £8 Qui-Gon model that doesn't light up or do the sound effects, but the blade retracts fully into the handle and can be locked in. Plus, there's a belt loop. These are the best toy sabers, bar none. Link to post Share on other sites

FartSnatcher Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I would have a Black/Red combination Darth Maul Saber-style. But I would always choose a Energy Sword from Halo 2 over Lightsaber, i'm more of a Halo geek than a star wars geek. Also the Master Replica Shock Clone Trooper Website Exclusive helmet looks sweet.

Thomme Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 at the risk of looking like a rediculous nerd, check out what I made: I made up an elaborate back story that takes place 200 years before the fall of the Old Republic and includes a duplicate saber. The fabric on the hilt is made from the weavings of a Jedi Master who was struck down by a Sith Lord, his two padawans used his robe to make the rope/clothe on the hilt. One padawan mourned the death through remorse and sorrow and the other was hatefilled and sought revenge and would soon find himself fighting the other padawan. One lightsaber eminates evil and the other eminates virtue. yeah... nerd Link to post Share on other sites
