Lightsaber designs

[Tricia Kalamack]

When it comes to lightsabers you should keep it simple... Or train really hard, live thousands of years and learn how to be uber specialized to the point all other skills are atrophied to have a talent.

I enjoyed the original concept art by Ralph McQuarrie of the Stormtrooper with a white saber. It gave rise to the idea that anybody in the Mythos could have a laser sword. But then George decided the lightsaber should become the special snowflake symbol of only the Jedi and the Sith. Leading to the endless stream of nonsense that is: "Only a Force User can use a lightsaber, cause reasons?"

Give me a Warhammer 40k Powersword anyday. Sword and Board baby!

Pretty sure the only thing stopping muggles from using lightsabers is the very real chance of them cutting their own limbs off and their inability to see the future, thus rendering the "reflect lasers" function useless.

I mean, like half of the Chaos galaxy is Force sensitive anyway. Lightsabers and anti-lightsaber tech are some of our most common stuff.

I miss the good old days when we just use to shoot each other

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

What's wrong with single blades?

 

[Vulpesen]

Some people like options. Modern double lightsabers can activate one blade at a time. Some can split in half and be put back with a simple locking mechanism, such as mine. Nothing is wrong with a single, but what's wrong with two?

 

[Syn]

Mine are interlocking fiber corded sabers with a little extra cord and weight to be tossed like a bolo or used as a nunchuk. Then they can go back together for a staff.

Then I have a waterproof, single blade for over all smashing purposes.

 

[Fabula Caromed]

If you're inventive enough, you don't need multiple blades. Much like using a second lightsaber, it's a crutch.

Says the woman who can punch a hole in a reinforced door. Not all of us have the Falcon punch we need a crutch

 

[Fabula Caromed]

It takes at least two punches for me to put a hole in a door, thankyouverymuch.

 

[Nyxie]

Weird lightsabers always irritate me. What the heck is so wrong with a standard one-emitter blade? Is the drive to be speshul that intense?

Same reason there is not just "longsword" in real life. Different strokes for different folks. Or in this case, different styles. It's not about "speshul."

 

[Garza]

Says the woman who can punch a hole in a reinforced door.

Just about any force user can do that with the force? Barrier around the hand and increase the strength of the punch and then TA-DA! preso the way is clear.

Though to do it a few times will be needed, Fabs to do it twice is AWESOME!
Syn HATERS GONNA HATE!

*sighs* No sweetie Dove that is the joke with her character. She is super polite and super strong to the point of comedy and her bust size changes each post to whatever size gets a laugh.

 

[Garza]

*Shakes head about mocking name* I already know that. *references that other characters are Morna and Darren Shaw*

Single-blade.

What is this Team ROFLstomp?

But yes, single-bladed ones are the best...

... was used. cant they hook up a prosthetic to your side? Some anesthetic and a knife should rid you of the burned out nerves.

@[member="Vulpesen"]

The nerves are actually fine. I was tended to by one of the better healers around, @[member="Boolon Murr"]. Just haven't gotten around to getting a prosthetic, on account of getting fired and my heroic BSOD.

One lightsaber is for battle. The rest are for ego. Seems fairly straightforward.
