Why are Shien and Djem So both considered Form V? Djem So is a slow, heavy, hard-hitting style that largely resembles Kendo, favored by Anakin Skywalker. Shien is a faster, more defensive form aimed at deflecting blaster bolts. Why wouldn't Shien be considered an equivalent form to Soresu?

A dual phase lightsaber seems like it would mesh very well with Tràkata
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dual-phase_lightsaber
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tr%C3%A0kata
What would such a saber look like?
>>43700780
Because the point of Form V is physical power. Shien is the defense, Djem So the offense.
How the fuck does one reliably get the program to register a doublesaber?
Mace-saber so I can cleave and smite
>>43701512
I have no idea reliably. I had almost finished one before the finishing touches sent everything downhill up to and including crashing Chrome.

>>43701512
I have no idea, you just kinda have to fiddle with it until it works. It is best, from what I found, to essentially work backwards at the second half of the lightsaber, so to speak. Put on a new body first, than a switch, than an emitter, blade, and light.
>>43701567

I like your style.
>>43701512
>>43701607
Just add a switch, then emitter, then light, then blade. And stop after each piece to fix it with couplers along the way that you need to.
>>43701608

Anything else like this?
Anyone else have a problem with the site where buttons don't render? There's just holes in the switch section.
>>43701659
Look at the other side of the switch section. A lot of them have two sets of holes for buttons but only one side actually hast them in it.
Simple, sleek, and Sith
>>43701608
>some guy wearing cortosis armor to try to short out your lightsaber
Why wouldn't you just choke that bitch to death?
>>43701656
Especially that pic related easily could be a lightsaber. Just change the emitter a bit and rescale.
Also, general fuck you, now I want to build a lightsaber out of some scrap.
Why can't I hold all this edge?
37" Blade. It's beautiful.
>>43701756
Because sometimes you're just not in the mood.
>>43701947
There are pills for that anon.
What about light saber armor? Like sections of armor with light sabers built in so you can murder hug Jedi?
>>43701986
Wasn't there an ancient Sith guy with armor like that (shoulder and elbow attacked mini-lightsabers or something of the sort) in one of those video games set in ancient times?
If lightsabers can deflect blasters why don't they make ships out of lightsabers.
>>43702010
The same reason they don't make aeroplanes out of black boxes.
>>43702020
Because it would make it too heavy to fly? I'm not sure if that applies here, anon.
>>43702010
The amount of crystals and power-cells required would be ridiculous. Also the heat would probably cook the ship's insides.
>>43702010
Because a) they only project in straight lines b) they have to be projected from a really pretty sizeable beam projector, and most importantly c) fuck you.
>>43702075
>>43702082
But theoretically
Somebody with enough money could do it
And they would basically be invincible. I don't think heat would be a problem, since as I recall, the way lightsabers work, the emit very little, perhaps none at all, ambient heat. A vessel meant to traverse space would have no difficulty with that, certainly.
>>43702113
Again, it would have to be like, a porcupine, because the beams only project in straight lines.
Plus someone could just shoot a rocket at you and blow you up anyway.
>>43702113
>Somebody with enough money could do it
There may not be enough crystals in the universe.
>>43702129
I can think of a few ways to overlay them properly so that it would offer fairly good coverage while being parallel to the ship.
The only real problem is that some gaps would be necessary for viewing ports, leaving some obvious weak points.
>>43702130
So use synthetic crystals.
>>43702141
And again, any normal ship would just launch a salvo of rockets at it and destroy it.
Plus a turbolaser still has enough energy to overload the sabers or something.
>>43702113
You know what else deflects blaster bolts?
Energy shields. Which ships have.
Sabershields just wouldn't be reasonable. The emitter is proportionately much larger than a shield generator, and they can only be projected in a straight line whereas energy shields conform to the size of the ship, up to and including protecting the generator that's emitting them. A sabershield can't protect itself, it can only protect what's in front of it. The best you could essentially do is make a cone, with a fat ass aft section that's completely vulnerable, adding SUBSTANTIALLY to the size and power draw of your ship. Plus, you can't shoot out.
Sure, you could put in a shield generator as well to protect the vulnerable saber emitters, but if you're going to just add a shield generator anyway it doesn't make any sense to sacrifice so much size, energy consumption, and cost for all those emitters when you could just upgrade your shields for more protection, less size, less power draw, and cheaper cost.
>>43702146
>so use unstable shit that may explode on you
So much for invincible. Also, creating that many crystals of that magnitude would kill the person trying to do it really early on, and there are only a few darksiders left who know how.
>>43700945
Fuck your drills. Nihilus rules
>>43701656
>Anything else like this?
There were a bunch of tonfa saber users
>>43701749
Sith sabers have to have red crystals according to the old canon due to them not being able to obtain organic crystals
So what does TG think of my saber polearm? 32" blade as the main weapon with a backup "surprise" emitter in the bottom that would have a very short parry blade. But even when the parry blade is turned off, you can use the emitter to bludgeon somebody to death.
>>43702010
Because lightsabers sear through flesh, meaning you cannot stand on them.
>>43702196
>old canon

>>43702218
No, there is two canons now.
Potentially three.
There is no new or old/right or wrong.
That's why they renamed all the old EU materials "Legends" instead of just putting a big red X on it.
You can operate in either canon if you so choose.
>>43701785
Of course I forgot the image
Any wisdom to share?

>4' 4" with blade.
>>37" blade, medium blue.
>>Slender in the hand, but has a fair amount of weight and durability to it, with a solid plasteel pommel. Built for two handed use.
>>Curving ridges which respond to grip pressure, shutting off the lightsaber if it is released from the hand.
>>Red button nearest the blade is an on/off switch.
>>Other red button on a slider is a safety.
>>Silver button is a pressure sensor override. If depressed, the blade remains active even if the pressure sensor is released (Thrown at someone). When pressure is reapplied (Catch), the button automatically pops back out

>>43703091
That's pretty sweet.
14 inch hilt and a 32 inch amber blade, with a transparisteel window to prevent those nasty emitter window accidents everyone's so worried about.Really, one would hope that any Padawan who decides to put a window on their emitter piece has been properly educated on how to handle a lightsaber without torching your own fingers off. Only reason it even happens is due to the fact that the laserbrains who are more interested in looking cool over using proper lightsaber forms are the ones that keep coming in for treatment.

>>43703389
>didn't put pic in post
I'm fucking up everything today.
>>43701608
Would that even work?
I thought lightsaber parts were fragile and delicate, doing something like that would break it.
>>43703435
They are delicate because they generally aren't meant for bashing things, not because some reality warping phenomenon says they can't be sturdy regardless of how you make them.
>>43703447
Except it might possibly be a case of the innards getting knocked out of place or breaking from the shock force of actually swinging it like a mace at full strength against a surface. You can make the hilt near indestructible sure, but the saber might not turn on if you bash someone's head in with it. It's not that the insides can't take any shock, but there might be a limit on it that exceeds simply swinging them about in sword fighting.
That said, fuck if I know, and there's not much point to it outside of stubbornly just wanting to hit things with a solid object when your saber's blade is way better at it.
Thoughts?
>>43703493
>Except it might possibly
Except it might not
>there might be a limit on it
and there might not be
hurr hurr
*might* isn't a very good argument, anon.
Fact is that this is futuristic tech we're talking about here, and you could probably do the job with real world tech. If you ask me it isn't unreasonable at all to think someone could harden their saber if they wanted to use it as a mace part time.
If the crystals fall out of alignment or something, then just make their frame more sturdy. If the electronics get busted, then stop using cheap chinese knockoffs.
>>43703493
Perhaps you are trying NOT to kill someone, or cripple them? Knocking someone out with a blunt object gives them a much higher life expectancy than cutting them in half with an elongated loop of plasma.
>>43703435
>>43703447
>>43703493
Didn't the villian from Jedi Outcast, Dessan, have a spiked ball as lightsaber pommel.

>>43703588
Why is he even using it like that?
Was he dropped on his head as a kid? There are more effective things he could do than just bash someone in the head.
>>43703718
Thanks anon.
Big fucking saber, un-fucked edition.
>>43703767
He never actually used it like that in the game.
It was probably just for decoration to match his armor.
>>43703435
Lightsabers can remain functional after being dropped a few dozen feet. I'd imagine that they can take being used as clubs.
Is there a legit way to get a blade like pic related?
>>43704442
Maybe if the emitter were set as a bar rather than a circle.
You'd have to have more power than usual, though. That might be one of the few times when you'd need an external battery pack.
So, what kind of force-user would use this?

No curved hilts. Why even bother.
What do people think of this one?
>>43705481
Most of these are coming from mass produced parts, much like the Cusom Saber Shop's modular hilt system (Over here! http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/mhsbuilder/mhsbuilder.php It's got fewer options and it isn't 3D, so I didn't bother to post it in the OP.) and it's hard for saber-smiths to manage a curved blade. Even most of the big name smiths tend to avoid it due to the difficulty of squeezing the electronics in around the curve.
Those that do only have the curve at the very ends.
>>43702218
Old canon would be referring to the post rotj EU stuff
nucanon is disney branch rotfj
legends is pre tcw stuff
>>43705619
another example.
But, yeah. The main limiting factor is that both TCCS's and Saberforge's Saberparts lightsaber creators are meant for people to create their sabers from mass machined parts that their creators have lying around. And most of them don't do curved hilts due to difficulty.
>>43705604

>>43705481
I understand your pain.
I remember having some money to blow on a custom saber years ago so I emailed the shit out of every place I knew of about making a curved saber and never got a single reply.
Given how shite most of the custom curved sabers look, I feel like it might have been for the best.
Also, judge me based on my saber design, I guess.
>>43707083
That doesn't look like a lightsaber, that looks like a fucking gun. And a bad one at that. How would you even wield something like that effectively? The human hand does not bend that way.
>>43707083

>What kind of lightsaber you want darth?

>>43702010
Lightsabers can't stop missiles.
Anything bigger than a handheld blaster would probably just straight up overload the saber and destroy it. Otherwise why wouldn't Luke just stand in the death of the Death Star laser and deflect it?
>>43707974
>Lightsabers can't stop missiles.
Well, not directly.
>>43707974
A couple episodes of Rebels have shown blaster bolts from ship-mounted blasters being deflected.
Wouldn't grenades be the obvious choice to fight against Jedis?
Shower the motherfucker in grenades and he won't be able to deflect all that shrapnel.
>>43702235
I like it. Ornate but not purely ornamental. Why no blade?
Posting mine from last thread.
>>43708110
You know, until he force pushes the grenade back at you.
>>43700780
It feels clean and simple without being stiff or anesthetic.
>>43708110
Yes, lob the small, lethal object at the precognitive warrior who can hurl things back at you with telekinesis.
Shotguns or flamethrowers would really be your best bet.
>>43708124
Looks like it wouldn't be the best to use with two hands, although not as bad as some others.
Also, do the colors of the blade have any effect on the performance of the weapons, or is all the practical difference in the handle/crystal and blade length?
>>43708156
We've seen people block flamethrowers with the Force before and I've never seen a shotgun in Star Wars outside a video game.
My attempt at a saber for a later-day Skywalker. Verdict?
>>43708156
>flamethrowers
Worked great for Jango.
>>43708183
It's kinda weird how you separate that, because both of those are EU items. They're roughly as canon as one another.
>>43708163
Color is more or less a matter of preference, unless stated otherwise. IIRC there was a Mon Cal jedi with a yellow blade that worked underwater, but that's an exception rather than the rule.
>>43708145
>>43708156
Make a grenade that's triggered by sudden changes in momentum during it's trajectory, like an airbag. Anything the jedi tries to do with the grenade makes it go boom instantly.
>>43708208
His fault for not being in the proper range for flamethrowering.
>>43708222
Kit Fisto's green saber also worked underwater, so it's not connected to color.
Is there a lightsaber that is similar to a zweihander?
>>43708234
Then they just swoop it around, like a Harlem Globetrotter slinging a basketball behind his back.
>>43708237
Most lightsabers are two-handed weapons. A lot of them have long blades.
>>43708235
The problem was that he went for a compressed gas flamethrower rather than a liquid pump one. Of course, if he'd gone for a liquid one it would have required a backpack so big he couldn't have taken a jetpack, so I guess you gotta prioritize.
>>43708237
All lightsabers work as two handed swords, but you might look into Kylo Ren's one from the new movie. It has a crossguard.
>>43702207
Cool, I always thought it strange that you never see saber pole arms anywhere in Starwars seeing how melee warfare eventually advanced to the point where everyone was just trying to outreach eachother with pikes, halberds, and stupidly long duelling swords.
>>43702235
Simple and elegant.
>>43702449
Again, pretty simple, but that's usually a good thing. Something with a million knob and doodads would be murder to wield.
>>43702496
Great level of detail, props for putting in work. I like the shiny, futuristic design.
>>43702768
Japanese/10, get some sweet samurai inspired plasteel armour with that shit.
>>43702935
Nice, what are the protruding holes for?
>>43702979
The handle looks really short, how long is it?
>>43703091
What's that red ring thingy? I'd love to see a show down with >>43702207.
>>43703104
It looks very knightly, but I don't know how I feel about the flares guard thing before the emitter.
>>43703223
Sweet, the window really adds a nice flourish to the black banding throughout.
>>43703293
This has a vintage look, to me at least. Like the wielder found it in the attic of his deceased uncle's 70s style ski chalet, probably in a box wedged underneath an orange corduroy sofa.
>>43703399
That's one long ass hilt, why is there on grip for a small section of the bottom end? I'd imagine it would make more sense to have it higher up towards the emitter where grip strength is critical.
>>43703521
Looks crazy villainous, I'd be constantly worried about the orbital emitter guards being shorn off in combat.
>>43704615
Probably a recluse or member of a non-evil force using sect on a far flung world.
>>43705604
It looks very old, especially with the unusual white blade. Maybe the wielder recovered it from the temple of a non-jedi force cult?
>>43705884
Looks like something Solaire would use.
>>43706197
This is by far my favourite. It pulls off intricacy and ornamentive design without being tacky or overdesigned.
>>43708232
Looks nice, would recommend a little more Handel though
>>43708110
Nope. The way you fight Jedi is with traps. You DO NOT take them on head on, especially not with grenades or rockets. You ever play Jedi Knight, son?
>>43708039
By whom? And what size of blaster? Because if fucking Ezra is running around deflecting blaster cannons I'm going to fucking pack it in, I'm pretty sure not even Yoda/Obi-Wan could do that in E3/the Clone Wars.
>>43708028
A static lightsaber attached to a ship couldn't, which is the point.
>>43708290
>I'm pretty sure not even Yoda/Obi-Wan could do that in E3/the Clone Wars
Just because they didn't doesn't mean they couldn't.
>>43708267
Here's some more Handel anon
>>43708256
>>43708261
I'll look at Ren's, but what I'm looking for is an abnormally long lightsaber, one that gives off an aura of authority. One than will inspire fear in my enemies.
>>43708290
Pretty sure it was Ezra. Admittedly I might be remembering it wrong because I just watched through everything from Siege of Lothal up yesterday.
>>43708326
That doesn't make any sense though, why would they choose to constantly try to dodge, nearly getting their shit blown up every time, rather than easily deflect it back and destroy their attacker who they're trying to kill anyways? Eg., Obi-Wan getting shot at by Boba in the Slave One in Clones?
>>43708334
>>43708383
Slave 1 fires really fast, probably fast enough he wouldn't have been able to block them all, so dodging was the better option.
R8 my laser sword /tg/.
>>43708413
Fair enough. I've just done some research, in Legends Kyp Durron, Jaina Solo, and some other guy have canonically deflected ship mounted blaster cannons, but that was because they were immensely strong warriors. Ezra is a fucking kiddie who's been using the force for like a week and a lightsaber for ever less, which is I think what bothers me most. Kanan doing it might rustle me a little, but at least he's a knight and can kind of explain it.
Though coming back to the strength thing, I wonder if a static, mounted lightsaber would be as "strong" as a saber wielded by a strong jedi? Sort of "the strongest oak bends in the wind," a saber glued to a ship couldn't dynamically redistribute momentum to any degree whatsoever.
>>43708519
It probably just jars your hands more when you block it, which is why you don't want to be blocking hi-power lasers or automatic blasters. But yes, Ezra is a little kid and should not be able to do it perfectly.
>>43708263
>>>43702979
>The handle looks really short, how long is it?
11.1'' without the blade, it does look short tho.
I fixed it and it looks more proportionate now.
Who would use this one?
>>43708627
That looks much better, might just be me though I have ridiculous hands. For who'd use it, probably the more angst of a pair of friends who discover force powers during the Rebellion.
>>43708662
>"Anon, I have something to tell you"
>"The axe head has returned"
>"But this time, it's a jedi. May the force guide you"
I really like this oneIt is a randomly generated saber
>>43707072
I disagree
Anyone else have thoughts on the wielder of this Lightsaber/mace/axe?
I was going for some sort of gradient one side to the other but it ended up looking like I just glued to sabers together.
The light side is way too boring.
Make me the one a necron would use.
>>43708869
If it's powersource fails it can still be used in an oldfashioned way.
>>43708898
The one in the post above yours, but with a green blade.
>>43708898
something like this maybe.
>>43708908
That was my thought. I have gotten some interesting comments based on its style. I like the idea that it is used on the Outer Rim in no-fail scenarios.
From earlier threads:
>A big guy who probably uses another one of these as a matched pair. Brutal in combat, and has a unique sense of style that garners attention often. He is a Jedi, but barely.
>An older ascetic who prefers to live outside the jedi temple, helping people as they travel the nigh-lawless Outer Rim.
I like the idea of a Jedi who has had it with the Order and seeks to make the galaxy a better place on his own terms.
>>43708966
Not bad... but might even be the weapon of a Sith, I mean the original Sith mentioned in the Book of Sith w/o lightsabers and stuff who was trained by a "more civilized" master but will still rely on an oldfashioned axe when SHTF and his saber breaks down.
>>43709136
>SHTF
I believe that is a good contingent to be prepared for regardless of alignment. However, I agree with you, if not a Jedi exile, a Dark Jedi for sure. I am sure somewhere along that path the fall to the dark side was a major probability.
>>43708892
Following the light side of the force is an actual challenge though, unlike the dark side, aka babbymode force user
>>43708263
>Probably a recluse or member of a non-evil force using sect on a far flung world.
I love that description, I was going for old function over form feel
My attempt at a rapier style lightsaber with relatively short hilt and long blade , I really wish the site had some sort of emitter that wasn't designed to catch the blade that didn't direct the opponent's blade directly into your hand (looking at you venom emitter.)
>>43709350
None of the emitters are designed to catch the opponent's blade, because they can't.
>>43709382
The one I used is clearly designed to very often so it had better be made of something that can withstand the blade otherwise it's going to get cut through frequently. This argument has been had before and there are two camps based on the whole lightsabers stick to each other and don't slide thing so I'm not going to continue on this after this post.
I couldn't get past the empty button holes, so I didn't use a switch section, just an emitter and body with buttons.

The empty button holes do bother me quite a bit, there are a few switches that don't have that though so you can use those or just ignore them.
Reminder that the colour of the Lightsaber's crystal is determined when its affected by its first wielder's personality and attunment to the Force and alignment (Light/Grey/Dark). It's colorless before then.
>>43709480
Which ones? Even some that have buttons, like the Mauler, have two extra holes in the back.
>>43709537
I guess you are right I just hadn't noticed them on some like the reborn etc. I think they are easier to ignore when you at least have some real buttons.
>>43709504
What was the color association again?
>>43709504
That's new to me.
What kind of person gets yellow or orange?
>a special snowflake
That's purple. Specifically invented to make one actor stand out.
>>43709504
God I hate that EU shite. Just fuck anything written about Jedi.
>>43709637
>>43709700
Disney hasn't released any info on that, but I'd assume Dark side is Red, Grey is White (I can't source that, but I read somewhere that Ahsoka's new Lightsaber's has white crystals now because she's conflicted) and the rest if Light side and is determined by personality and how strong their attunment to the force is.
Do not quote me on this, it's just what I think. My first post has been confirmed though.
>>43709700
No, it was purple because he used a different type of crystal.
>>43709758
I thought red was synthetic crystals.
>>43709758
>>43709759
Aw, that's mildly disappointing. I thought it went in rainbow order, with red being worst and purple being best.
>Darth Heinous, your saber is looking a little too orange today. We're beginning to doubt your commitment to evil.
>>43709819
>What the fuck my name is Darth Heinous how much commitment do you want?
>>43709758
Fuck that shit, my lightsaber will be green.
>>43709843
Green and blue are both common colors that require no justification at all.
>>43709784
>I thought red was synthetic crystals.
>http://www.starwars.com/databank/lightsaber-crystal
No idea if they scrapped that or not from canon.
>>43709843
>>43709854
Yeah, "in rare cases" you'll get another colour than green or blue.
>Firefox isn't compatible with this site, please download a compatible browser, like firefox
Does anyone else have this problem?
>>43709887
Nope. Check if your firefox is up to date?
Also I think you are in the wrong thread/board my friend.
>>43709864
>No idea if they scrapped that or not from canon.
Until we do have an idea, it stays.
>>43709864
>>43709887
I think green looks best honestly.
>>43709909
would make more sense instead of having Sith going to Ilum for their crystals and accidentally running into a group of Jedi trainee's and their instructor.
guide me
>>43709947
Trust your feelings.
>>43700898
Stormtrooper saber?
>>43709955
anything else wise master?
So I like the idea of a cross-guard lightsaber but I think Kylo Ren's seems a little impractical, wouldn't the secondary emitters be sliced off if he were to lock blades with another?
>>43709985
Try closing your eyes and doing whatever comes natu-aw, fuck, you got snot all over the keyboard.
>>43710014
That's not snot :^)
>>43709996
No, those blades are generated from a single point in the center. The only thing you would damage that way is the option to turn the side blades off.
>>43709996
This has been discussed heavily. The secondary emitters are hollow, and basically focus the beam to keep it long, but if you smack a lightsaber blade into them the blade will go through the metal and hit the beam inside.
>>43709966
>>43708263
They showed up at times in Legends. One guy was even smart enough to use a lightspear and a shield made out of phrik.
>>43710080
>>43710101
Oh good, that makes much more senseNow to wait for them to include that option in the custom sabers
Do you guys know the name of that Star Wars song that goes
DU DU DAAAAN
DA DADADAAAAAN
DU DU DAAAAN
DU DADA DADA DADAAAAAN
DU DU DAAAAN
DADA DADA DADAAAAAAAAN
I like orange for a lightsaber, but mostly because the only place I can recall an orange saber is some black market trader on the fringes of space in KotOR. I'd get a black hilt and pretend every day is Halloween.
>>43710241
Sandstorm?
Rate muh 2 handed saber guys,I need validation in my life.
>Hilt Length: 1 foot 5.7 inches
>Combined Length: 4 feet 5.7 inches
Why are lightsabers almost always silver and black? Why not use a brass, bronze or a similarly coloured alloy as the basis of your saber?
>>43710495
because they're steel flashguns from 1940s press cameras.
It's hard to get a short blade with a proportionate body. Anyway, what kinda Jedi uses this one?
>>43710495
There are a few different color metals.
>>43710495
Palpatine's is electrum, apparently
>>43710566
Light shotos were often used in the off hand of dual wielders.
Alternatively, if you were stuck in a fight in close-quarters (like on a small platform in a river of lava) you'd have an advantage against a longer sabered opponent.
I do my job, do you do yours?
>>43710495
I would definitely use a combination of bronze and wood for maximum aesthetic on my lightsaber. Probably with a vine/flower pattern engraved on the metal parts.
Just finishing up this fella. About $30 from Ace Hardware plus a little black acrylic paint. I just wish I'd been able to fit a flashlight in there, but that rocker switch is too big and too high up. What do you guys think?
>>43700780
Sabers are good, but when it comes to mounted combat you cant beat the power of the Lance, so with out further ado;
Twi'leks and gentleman men i give you the light-lance.

>there are two camps based on the whole lightsabers stick to each other and don't slide thing
>implying there is a camp of people who haven't seen Obi-Wan fight Grievous in the movies
>>43709725
That's new canon not EU.
>>43711204
For thirty bucks? I like it! I would reccomend painting the bottom plastic though, looks a little tacky.
Looks like a lightsaber designed as the first lightsaber of a Jedi who fights primarily with a two handed grip, the difference in texture guiding hand positioning. Yet still, simple and utilitarian. Not a Jedi fond politicking. A somewhat spartan individual in both senses of the word.
>>43711607
No it aint, the clone wars cartoons are cannon, and according to those its all natural crystal colours.
Both the "rainbow attunement" and the "synthetic crystals" are EU.
>>43700780
So... how did I do?
>>43710241
I have no idea what you're trying to tell me here. Are you looking for a piece of music from the movies?
>>43712116
here is a better view.
>>43712116
>>43712168
How do you actually hold that?
>>43712116
>>43712168
terrible, you couldn't even hold it
2/10 if this is supposed to be a joke
Tell me how I did, /tg/. Who would you expect to wield this?
>>43712233
The best part is that since there is no switch section, I would assume that it is always on.
>>43711835
Yeah I spent a long time trying to find a chrome pommel, but that was the only thing that fit. The cap of it is chrome, but that doesn't add anything from a side view. I'm glad you got the utilitarian 2-handed feeling I was going for.
What I'm debating now is whether to go with a d-ring or that other kind of prequel clip.
>>43712379
Gotta go with a d-ring, personally. They look so utilitarian, and efficient, but still with a kind of dorky charm.
>>43708270
No, the empire has taught us the way you fight the Jedi is with a combination of hostile warfare to suppress the rebuilding of fortifications and training grounds a long with the use of highly skilled assassins whose sole job is to hunt down and kill highly thought of (but not necessarily the most skilled) Jedi.
This prevents the Jedi from being able to establish the stable training and recruitment systems necessary for them to begin the decades long process of training new members. It also demoralizes the Jedi by using a few select killers to take out high-value targets and bring command into disarray forcing the lesser Jedi into hiding or seclusion.
The trick is to prevent replenishment and do your best to scatter them, after that old age will claim most of the survivors in a decade since the young and bold (but relatively inexperienced) warriors will likely die or be wounded in battle.
You may even convince some to join you or others may simply give up the Jedi path altogether to live a relatively safe and normal life.
You defeat the Jedi in the realm of the mind not the body. Except the old ones, you just let time finish killing those crusty fuckers off.
>>43711204
Do you have a guide?
>>43700780
Well, I tried
>>43711566
>elegance is tacky
But I'm sure your plain gunmetal tube is very utilitarian anon, enjoy your "more efficient, proper" sexbots.
>>43712743
Guide? For what?
>>43713067
Presumably he means a guide to making custom lightsaber handles, as you have.
>>43712291
No, that's the middle part, it's just facing away from you.
What's /tg/'s opinion on Saberblasters?
Interesting post-Clone Wars idea that could use some more exploration?
Stupid attempt at a special snowflake weapon by an Anakin expy?
Do you like it? Hate it? Could you do it better than Ezra?
>>43713779
It's dumb.
I think a bayonet holder is a better idea, at least that's funny.
this is my laser sword, it has a long handle and a hand guard so if I thrust at a dude my hand will not slip onto the blade and get burnt
>>43713976
Saved from last thread
Personally I'd rather have a lightsaber variant I can throw around with the Force.
stick eight emitters on a ring, slap a forcefield on the side, I'd have a light-shuriken 4 meters across I could just toss through a bunch of mooks at waist level. It'd be so much easier than going after them one-by-one.
>>43714675
The lightsaber throw is a thing.
>>43714675
Why should it have blades at all then? It should just be a plasma ball.
So a grenade, basically.
Why don't jedi use grenades anyway, they could just home them in on the target.
