[member="Sakon Xarabia"] Considering the origional lightsabers were based off the katana, you know the featureless hilt and simple blade astetic.Sakon Xarabia said:[member="Selena Halcyon"]
It is when they base it off of the mideval bastard sword when before star wars was nearly all origional. Not saying all change is bad but when its based off of already made things then its not as creative. As far as my knowlage goes lightsaber (or related swords) went used really anywhere before lucus made them in star wars. but the design it has now isn't purely from the imagination anymore.
There are light-whips, clubs, axes and a plethora of other not simple lightsaber designs in the EU. So someone added some cross guards, that doesn't mean anything really. We can debate it to worlds end but it doesn't change any other lightsaber design. It still has focus crystal, powersource etc. It just has two more focusing points, most likely made out of saber resistent material.
