True ! For example, this one is probably the weapon of a duelist that tries to have everything under control. He won't fight unless he is sure he can win. Probably uses form II alongside other techniques

Possibly the weapon of a Force user that is rather on the short side (or even of one of the more diminuitive races), with a largely utiliarian philosophy. The long handle allows for a wide variety of stances and grips, improves the weapon's reach and improves the leverage of the wielder. All that and the visual design speak of a Jedi that knows their personal limitations and is determined to reduce their own weaknesses.
Though some would consider this blade to be a reflection of a somewhat Dark outlook, to this Jedi such behavior has probably served them well and has become second nature to them.
In terms of styles, the wielder clearly favors Form V, with a focus on Djem So.

To be fair, it's one of the few 'custom lightsaber' sites out there.

There's http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/mhsbuilder/mhsbuilder.php, but it's fiddlier and only 2D. (That said, it does have more parts, if fewer actual body styles, and offers more color options)

Those two are the only ones I'm aware of.

The lack of 3D kinda hurts it, because a lot of the options look really stupid in 2D.

Well, I'm kind of terrible at this, but what the hell.

The lightsaber is longer than the standard model, pointing to a defensive style, one that relies on keeping distance. probably involves a fair bit of spinning and circular motions.

It is well maintained, but obviously has seen use. That tells me that you are a fan of the classics.

Looks more ceremonial than functional, so probably will only fight if needed, and most likely keeps a second weapon on hand that is more utilitarian.

Oh boy I'm not much better but let's try.

The extended length of blade and handle points at a style that relies on reach, overall it looks more like a lance than a light saber, the user might be a someone that prefers to charge ontop of a mount.

Considering the sleek build and the weathered metal it might have seen use primarily on a desert planet.

I would say the user is a kind of desert outrider and of a knightly disposition, probably even more chilvarious than the average jedi, yet deeply enjoys the thrill of (honorable) combat.

A classic consular standby, that much is obvious. The sleek and minimalist design definitely shows the wielder puts duty above self.

this rugged, weathered saber looks like it's seen several battles
it is most likely wielded with two hands, or by a species that is larger than the average humanoid
the user most is most a practitioner of djem so, but may incorporate moves from soresu and juyo as the situation call for it
the user is a veteran, his saber as much a method of intimidation as it is a weapon
he will not hesitate to use force if necessary, but recognizes shrewdness and planning as the most effective means outside of combat
please note, i'm completely pulling this out of my ass
reposting from the last thread, just looking for a name, but analyze if you want

Simple and humble, the wielder of this saber favours defensive, patient style that punishes mistakes with precise and deadly counter-attacks.

What do you guys think of this?

>>43775197
Presumably a heavy-duty combat weapon that has seen innumerable battles. Maybe a relic from a time where not just keepers of peace, but rather soldiers and generals; always at the front and of a practical mindset.

My attempt at making a jedi weaponmaster's sword, what with it actually having something resembling a guard and pommel and a grip that isn't just smooth metal. The bit at the end of the pommel is, in my mind, a dissimulated second emitter since combat is oft decided by trickery and surprise factor.

I was really disappointed with how Bioware and EA handled it. With the benefit of time, I guess I know now that my expectations were unrealistic, and that MMO's as a genre have been fucked for almost a decade.

I still see large parts of it as a cynical attempt to cash in on casual Star Wars fans by pandering to them with simple shit instead of making shit with substance.

Well, barring the bugs, at least KotFE has been pretty good.

I've heard people call the Jedi Knight storyline KotOR 3. That's bullshit. KotFE is Knights of the Old Republic 3.

Oh, well that changes everything, now doesn't it? It just feels like we've had five or six threads now of people clicking together virtually identical lightsaber images off a website, all are CG, and none look even a little bit inventive. It's lazy, derivative, and stupid.

OP is the only person in the thread to post a real prop someone made, something that looks genuinely different and has some real character to it. Something with more than just random MHS-compliant machined pieces of aluminum selected from a menu.

It's like dick pics on /soc/. Bored people crying out for someone to notice them but not willing to put any effort at all into doing something worthy of notice.
