Welcome to the Lightsaber Thread, your one-stop shop for aesthetics discussions, personality readings, color theory, and arguments about whether normies can handle lightsabers without killing themselves.
Today's question: Why doesn't everyone just fight with a Makashi-Niman mix? It's pretty much the optimum build.
>>43689179
Well since I couldn't post it in the last thread...
Try channeling your powers /tg/, and tell me what kind of jedi would use this
>>43689179
Lightsabers, beam sabers, power blades, energy blades, whatever.
Why not light spears, shield or all manner of other weapons? Why just swords? Why weaboo lucas, why.
>>43689179
>Why doesn't everyone just fight with a Makashi-Niman mix?
Because Soresu is sexier
>>43689344
You'll often find that, when using a shield, it touches your body either accidentally, by your own will, or by your opponent pushing it back. People using light shields would have a pretty hard time not hurting themselves.

>>43689386
pic related and cortosis shields.
>>43689386
I don't know much about Star Wars lore, but aren't there vibroblades that are made of material that isn't cut by a lightsaber? Can't they make shields out of that?
>>43689344
The surface area of the lightsaber vs an entire shield is pretty different, maybe it's not practical to expend that much energy?
This seems more like a /g/ thread.
For /tg/'s analysis and evaluation.
>>43689431
Can those even stop a lightsaber? They've got an exposed outer rim. Also, with the money you'd need to make a cortosis shield, you could just hire a bunch of Sith or Jensaarai to go after the Jedi you're trying to kill.
>>43689434
Only a few vibroblades are like that.
>>43689292
Your combat style is pretty aggresive and simple. You never admit you can make mistakes. Goddamn paladin who thinks he is the only one who knows howto make things right. It will be honor for me to kill you.
>>43689292
A simple, sturdy, direct design probably meant for someone practicing Shien or Shii Cho primarily. No obvious deficiencies. The student who built this is probably quite thorough and logical for their age, although perhaps still they have something to learn about patience and the nuances of swordsmanship. My guess is they prefer fieldwork to esoteric study. An exceptional first step on the guardian's path.
Which form, or forms, would seem most suitable for this blade and it's wielder?
>>43689179
Why aren't there any sabers made with wood, horn, or bone? Since they are supposed to be hand-crafted and reflect the wielder's personality, I'm surprised that we haven't seen any that incorporated organic materials into their design.
>>43689620
This one seems compatible with pretty much all forms, although the yellow blade implies a preference for swift combat. So, Ataru basically.
>>43689641
dur, I just searched for wooden hilt lightsabers and found a ton of pics. Ignore this.
>>43689431
I don't see how, in any way a viable energy source for those hand held shields is possible.
>>43689641
probably not the sort of material you want your laser sword made out of when you're a wandering space monk who could be jetpack jumping between spaceships one week and underwater heroicsing the next.
some of them still do it though.
>>43689742
But lightsabers are okay.
never see orange... kind of had like a lance or spear thing in mind that isn't a big exposed pole to be cut, idk. two blades of different lengths means options though. thoughts?
>>43689850
The short handle is going to limit your dexterity even more than the regular double saber does. This seems like an almost purely offensive implement unless you've only got one blade on.
>>43689344
Polearm fighting involves a lot of striking and blocking with the shaft of the polearm. You can't do that with glowy death sticks around because the other dude's glowy death stick would cut your polearm if you tried.
Shields, as mentioned above, come into contact with your body all the damn time. A glowy death shield would kill you dead if you tried to use it.
Really, since the glowy death aspect removes all considerations of penetration and weight, the only real aspects of a weapon are length, hilt size, and number of blades. The strangest thing I'd expect to see would be a sword with an extended hilt and blade.
>>43689666
Aren't Sentinels more about balance between Lightsaber combat and using the Force? Doesn't strike me as an aggressive colour, but I may be wrong.
>>43689910
The reason you rarely ever see them is because the haft needs to be made of a material that can resist lightsaber blades, and those are very rare and expensive. That being said, the lightspear does have a few unique advantages of its own.
saber for when you need it, axe for when you wanna get visceral!
Okay, so what am I?
Thought about making it a spear but decided against it.
>>43690005
A lightspear would be pretty cool. I remember reading about standard metal swords that are infused with dark side energy or something? Is that shit canon? Would it be comparable to a lightsaber?
>>43690067
Looks like it was made by a more alien race who are somewhat more brutish.
How edgy am I?
>>43690308
>How edgy am I?
Not edgy enough to get those silly crossguard axes these jokers put on their hilt. >>43690016 >>43690067
You made a pretty cool saber.
>>43690366
I just like the look of it. Would never consider using it as an axe.
I had an alternative anyway.
>>43690308
Really? Why? I was thinking Grey Jedi or a techy Sith.
>>43690152
I always thought he looked sith-like
>>43689620
This is probably not its wielder's first saber. The design features many marks of experience, as well as a desire to keep one's options open in a fight. The distinctive color could mean that its owner is a sentinel, although I would not be surprised if he was just some far-flung Jedi wanderer who hasn't been to Coruscant in decades.
>>43689850
This design probably comes from someone who was trained by the Jedi, but now walks her own path. She is probably very proficient at attacking, and likes to end fights quickly. Her lack of fear for violence belies a good heart. Though experience of the Galaxy is a great teacher, she will require more formal instruction to reach her highest potential.
>>43690016
The blade of one of the younger Sith. Its design still holds the threat aggression and strength, but it is more down-to-earth than many of its contemporaries. The owner has more likely than not trained himself in the use of the side blades, seemingly out of a desire for practicality rather than naked sadism.
>>43690067
Almost certainly meant for one-handed use, probably by someone with great strength. The striations on the body and switch imply a desire to maintain control, possibly because the user lacks it. He is also likely to be quite gregarious, wearing his heart and his saber openly.
>>43690308
The owner of this saber cares about personal skill above all. No doubt its blade has tasted innocents just as much as it has warriors, for the Sith carrying it will not suffer anyone to get in her way. But, like the rest of that ilk, her heart still holds a tinge of fear, such that she keeps a small barrier between her hand and the saber's blade.
>>43690434
Hard to say, it just looks like something a really big guy would use one-handed and still overpower pretty big guys two-handing their saber.
>>43690152
older than "old republic" they're the counter part to the jedi protosaber which was a crystal wrapped in a special force magic tree bark and connected to a battery pack on your belt. Sith swords were sith magiced up to cut like lightsabers and hand other magic properties that very well could have made them superior. The ability to make them was lost to time however. They were mostly a comics only thing until the sword of sith lord marka ragnos showed up as a major plot device in the jedi knight game series. They're probably not canon any more. The closest thing is the darksabre from the cartoons which is still an energy blade but its thin and flat like a real blade and is black, absorbing light.
>>43690466
That's true. The character I originally made it for is a pretty straightforward kind of guy.
He's a former Sith but never used force lightning or choke, instead preferring to kill people with really powerful force pushes. Just kinda crushing people. He also specialized in force speed and strength enhancement.
>>43690445
Interesting, control is actually something the had a surplus of. At least in relation to other Sith and even some Jedi. He was a really Stoic character, capital S, character.
What do all the buttons do? Not even the owner knows.
>>43690568
WHAT DO THE BUTTONS MEAN MASON
>>43690568
Now I'm trying to imagine what additional features the lightsaber could have. Maybe different length settings, an underwater mode, as well as some sort of plasma overload that temporarily shatters its containment field?
>>43690568
The only reason normies can't into lightsabers is each one is made with a complex "activation" sequence requiring the use of each button and knob. A trained user knows how to activate their own lightsaber with a mere flex of the hand, anyone else is screwed.
>>43690568
>"Wrong sequence activated"
The lightsaber opens on the wrong side for no apparent reason, killing you on the spot and destroying it in the process
>>43690627
I'd like to think this was a rather friendly lightsaber.
The only reason I made this is because I couldn't make a Not!Jian handle.
I couldn't help myself.
Rethought my lightsaber a little.
>>43691076
What's wrong with being a Revanite?
>>43691094
There is nothing wrong with it, I guess. I couldn't make anything else, too much reverence.
Full weeb mode.

> to space !
Even In real life, us Revanites only have each other.
Tried my best, what does it makes you think about ? Jedi/sith wise I mean
>>43691256
I feel like this saber has been broken and repaired a few times. Like its wielder, it's seen a lot but still remains strong.
>>43691293
High ranking, was once a famed warrior, but is now probably more politician than anything.
>>43691343
Does he have really small hands?

>>43691343
Either doesn't fight or lot, or does so in-elegantly.
Seriosuly, there is no way you can get any proper motion with a handle that tiny and restricted.
>>43691369
>>43691293
I see a jedi, but with more glitter
Truely a piece of art
>>43691252
Thanks anon. I was going for a stylish in minimalism approach.
>>43691374
Could be a fighter from a smaller species.
Looking at this Saber Parts thing and I have learnt something about myself;
I would never make it past this part of my training. Ever.
Like, holy shit, how do you build a sword handle that represents your personality? I can't design for shit and now you're asking me to make a weapon that shows my soul or some shit? Can't I just take a "one size fits all" saber from the armoury or something?
Challeneged myself to make a saber with the axe-head emitter that doesn't look stupid. How'd I do?
>>43691468
Presumably, those are the ones those two Jedi tossed to Obi Wan and Anakin during the Geonosis Arena fight.
>>43691499
Or they're ones deceased jedi have offered/donated to the temple, so that a part of them can continue to serve the order posthumously.
>>43691468
I think people are ascribing more meaning to the handles than are actually really there.
In canon, they probably just make a saber that they think looks coolest or most functional.
>>43691488
It looks dumb because of the way the handle is segmented.
Honestly, I don't see what's so dumb about the axe handle.
>>43691468
1. You're supposed to build the parts and find the crystal yourself.
2. They only reflect your personality after the fact. While planning and building, you're just supposed to do what comes naturally.
3. One size fits all is good, but most jedi would want their swords to be specialized in some area or another.
So confused.
Where is everyone getting their inferences from?
>>43691468
I believe that I rebuilt Revan's due to my reverence for him, and that I would desire to become a Revanite. To build an original one? I'm not sure if could do it either.
>>43691076
>>43691550
Somewhere around the asshole region I think.
>>43691531
Well, that in and of itself shows a lot about you.
>>43691544
Well that just further confirms my conclusion of inability. All that comes naturally is freaking the fuck out about getting it wrong.
>>43691550
It's called "making shit up," and it's mostly based on outdated lore and aesthetic speculation. You should try it some time.
What kind of vibe does this one give off?
All of the Graflex parts are hideous and I love them.
>>43691562
Nothing wrong with a tribute.
>>43691550
>>43691468
well, it's kinda strange and kinda not:
two ways:
you do what you think you have to (let the force guide you in a way). Just pick what you think is right for you. You can do it wrong, it's okay, you just have to try to make something that makes sense to you. DO NOT try and make something to "look cool", unless it's really your kind of personnality.
Other way around, the scholar apprach. Each part has some kind of meaning, and each part can be crucial in the use of one fighting style in particular. You can try to make the best lightsaber ever built or just something you think is right for your status.
AND you still have to remember that it's unlikely that's you'll keep the same saber for your whole life. But since it's pretty much a game here, I'll advise you to have fun
>>43691541
I'll help you it'sthe axe handle
>>43691631
How'd you get the blade so short?
>>43691698
I think a better question is "Why would you want it that short?"
>>43691630
either a really humble student or a to-the-core Niman master ? Kinda strange actually
>>43691631
Nice. I'd use it
>>43691293
>>43691403
I'm leaning more to sith. That looks like something used primarily for killing.
>>43691630
Powerful but controlled. Could be a consular who hasn't completely given up swordplay just yet.
Any toughts, wise anons ?
Please no harm
>>43691648
Oh great, so there's more than one way to think about it. Thanks, Master, now I'm freaking out even more.
Why did you recruit me again?
>>43691452

But seriously, go make a thing, namefag so we can know it's you and ask for guidance

>>43691883
This is a meditation tool not meant for combat. Its surface is perfectly regular, its blade pure white, and its activation mechanism is accessed through the Force. Great for helping center Jedi who have grown used to the feeling of a sword in their hands.
>>43691997
That is a much more serious and well thought-out answer than I was expecting.
>>43691953
Maybe we should all start namefagging, just to put an identity to each saber.
Rate my lightsaber
What does this one say about the wielder?
>>43690911
This design was based heavily on your master's Lightsaber, but it showed itself to be a perfect fit for your fighting style. Focusing on speed over power, and adaptively using the force to cover for what little you lack in duelling skill; proving yourself time and again to be a reliable ally to have on ones side in battle. Even if destroyed you'd rebuild a new one in its predecessors image.

Almost as painful to hold as it would be to get hit by. I'm imagining the wielder as one of those Sith wearing massive armour, thick gauntlets, and a helmet that completely obscures their face.

>>43692110
Where have you gone o wise assessor of light sabres?
>>43691953
If you insist.
About the only real thing I thought about was the longer handle, so I can more easily use it two-handedly should the need arise.
rate me saber
I like the part where it's like a little window just below the blade.
>>43692337
You're a quadraplegic force adept who wields his saber telekinetically.
>>43692373
Could be a little awkward with advanced moves, but for the most part seems very forgiving and decently fast. Good job padawan.

>>43692122
Very mix-and-match. I imagine the whole thign would look better if you had more options than silver and black.
>>43692087
Pretty simple, but the leather handle adds a bit of flair. Like has been said, probably belongs to an older jedi.
>>43692601
Give him time, Anon.
>>43691083
Very practical, built mostly for swift strikes so you should probably go with Makashi. You'll probably need a lot of practice to effectively use this
>>43690792
>bayonet holder
Resilient Body was the thinnest one I could find that does the leather grip. Is it so bad I want a longass handle of uniform width?
>>43692866
I cannot comprehend this
>>43691083
>>43691886
>>43692544
The wielder is a master of Form II and well versed in Form VII, making for a pragmatic and ferocious lightsaber duelist. This Jedi cares little for what the Council thinks of him, often disobeying orders to opt for his own solution to problems presented to him.
Rate my attempt at a two-hander
>>43692866
Well, it kinda mucks with a lot of techniques, but it shouldn't be too hard to adapt.
>>43692984
Handle is a little short for proper two-handing, but it might make a good hand and a half.
>>43689292
What is this from? Did you just make the image yourself?
>>43693001
>Handle is a little short for proper two-handing, but it might make a good hand and a half.
As far as lightsabers go, that one could be three-handed. Just look at Luke's or Obi-Wan's sabers. Both pretty much always used two-handed, yet shorter than the one you linked to.
>>43689179
>Using jedi weapons.
Final version.
I'd buy this one if I had the money.
I can't decide on blade color though. I'm between:

>>43693746
It's mainly the pommel. It's got the pointy symmetry which is almost exclusive to the Sith.
>>43689179
Djem So style of the year all years.
I rather liked the idea of a saber that looked one handed, and perhaps was one handed....and then you turn on the other half while your main saber is pointed away from them. Or to kill someone behind you without turning on the main part. A small surprise.
It's meant to be a touch more elegant as well. Clunky things don't fit well in my little hands.
>>43693634
An honorable warrior. A sith through and through, but ultimately is the kind who just wants a good fight. In a situation where there are many sith, not just two, he would probably be fairly high-ranking, but not at the top. The type who is most likely to disarm a foe (literally) than outright kill them, telling them to come back when they are stronger.
>>43693746
Maybe pick a lighter blue or a less spiky pommel if you want to keep the crossguard emmiter. Or a friendlier body.

>Why doesn't everyone just fight with a Makashi-Niman mix
Because the various sabre "forms" are Eu-wank bullshit. Any style summary that has Qui-Gonn fighting in the same style as Yoda (when even a cursory glance at the screen show their technique is about as far apart as martially possible) is utter bullshit on its face.
Isn't the only logical final form of sword made from light is having it shapeless?
>>43689179
>Why doesn't everyone just fight with a Makashi-Niman mix?
Why doesn't everyone use the same fighting style in real life?
>>43693920
Literal white-knight. But the good kind. Honorable and just.
>>43693938
Put together from scrapped parts, or perhaps the owner incorporated an existing item with some sentimental value into their lightsaber. Resourceful, and perhaps a little too emotional for their own good.
What do can you say about this jedi?
>>43693971
Good god, no.
Firstly, having a shapeless sword would be a bitch to control/use.
Secondly, Light travels in a straight line. Why would it do... whatever the heck that thing is doing.

>>43694172
No, but it is definitely Dark Side thinking. You shouldn't need to push yourself that hard, for one thing, and using the Force in a violent manner (such as lightning) is distinctively Dark Side.

Seems like the saber of someone who inherited it from a father or friend but couldn't resist a few modifications. Once elegant, sleek, and flowing, it now seems built-up and favors power and surprise over true control, but with enough of its old self left to make clean slashes.
>>43694254
Mid-size, actually; just a long handle. Built for use wherever it's necessary, complete with a hand-and-a-half grip.
>>43694333
Gaudy and tasteless. Not built directly by a Jedi or a Sith, but by a crime lord or bounty hunter who managed to take sabers from padawans and forge them into this monstrosity. He never actually learned how to wield it properly, using it more for intimidation factor than anything.
>>43694333
Jesus, that thing's basically a light-quarterstaff.
I love it.
>>43694337
Yeah, it does seem a bit top-heavy, but I saw it more as a lightsaber that existed for the purpose of designating someone as a Jedi rather than as a weapon specifically.
A parade weapon of sorts.
I'll probably swap a few things out to make it look better
Lads forgive me if im slow but what are you using to make these?
>>43694376
Read the thread
You have one minute to be as edgy as possible.
>>43691780
well I did always pick Jedi Shadow in the old republic games
What do you guys think?
>>43694466
>>43694486
A lot of aggression behind this guy. This seems like a very offensive (no pun intended) weapon.
How about this?
>>43694466
>>43694486
Gee Bill'e your mom lets you have two lightsabers #9
What kind of person made this lightpike?
>>43694510
I could see that be wielded by a tomb guardian of some sort
>>43694525
Someone who likes being in control.
>>43694202
I don't plan on using it all the time. It's a "oh shit this big ugly Darth looking mother fucker wants to turn my face into lunchmeat" tactic. Purely for defense
>>43694227
>Not willing to try anything for power
>A Sith
pick one
>>43694528
You need to switch the background color, anon.
>>43694385
Thank you anon have a wonderful day / night
>>43694521
Simple, clean, elegant. This one does not care about what is in his way, or the things that stop him from pursuing what he needs to do. He doesn't bother with keeping everything running just right, he only cares about what he sees as "right." To that end, he is unstoppable.
>>43694510
I fail to see the edge. This is an interesting lightsaber.
>>43694532
Using one blade against one type of foe (Jedi), and the other against a different kind of foe (Sith), and both if they get into trouble (Fucking tomb raiders, I'll fucking show you!)?
>>43694510
Most hideous one yet. Great work!
>>43694510
Too aware of color complements/contrasts to be edgy. Needs more Purple/Red.
>>43694525
you're one of those annoy as fuck boss fights that becomes a whole of a lot easier once your trick is figured outleaf shield
>>43694598
Nah, those are too complimenatry int he cholor scheme. Maybe arctic blue and lime...
>>43694588
send in your resume to Bioware
>>43694610
those also work together.
Bright red and lime. That's what you need.
>>43694525
Wouldn't it be real easy to just force pull that long handle aside, and then just cut off the saber bit? I don't think it'll work all that well against a proper Jedi or Sith.
>>43694653
>Wouldn't it be easier to just force crush people's skulls/hearts?
Just don't question it. Space Fantasy. Stuff happens because it's cool fairly often.
>>43694632
....no need to be insulting, anon....
Hmn. Let me see if I can reconstruct it.
take 1
Wanted to try my hand at one of these
>>43694633
>>43694610
>>43694598
Guys I did it.
The soul of edgyness is pretentiousness. What's more pretentious that contrasting white/black and including a shitton of colors?
It shows how deep and mysterious the Sithedi (half sith/half jedi also with cat ears :3) are, especially my OC, Julian Hirigashi, and that he controls ALL the elements, even the secret Void element that no one knows about!!11!
>>43694769
It's saying, "kill.. me..."
>>43694769
I appreciate that you managed to fit the axe hilt in there.
>>43694769
Okay, I'm impressed. That is a truly stunning degree of edge.
>>43694653
My personal headcanon is that it's a lot harder to use the Force directly on another Jedi (or anything they're directly controlling). Jedi have a protective Force bubble around them that passively prevents that sort of thing or whatever.
Otherwise, why would Palpatine bother throwing senate pods at Yoda? Just lift him up with the Force and pull his limbs from his sockets. If you take it that you can't directly perform that sort of action on another Jedi, the items they're holding become an extension of their body, and thus under that same protection.
>>43694769
Needs more pointy bits
>>43693758
Mah nigga. Djem So is my favorite style just for how dramatic and pragmatic it is.
>>43694653
This took me an age to get just right but it finally feels like something I would want to use.
>>43694769
That's marysuism, not edge, anon. Get your definitions straight.
>>43694855
It's because midichlorians inside the body have become 'attuned' to their host, so they can't be swayed into a sort of betrayal like that.
Probably.
>>43694880
Woops forgot to attach the image. Its late here.
>>43694855
That theory sort of falls apart when you have things like force push, pull, lightning, and most of all: Choke.
>>43694913
Harder is not the same as impossible.
I like to think of it as a more elegant weapon, for a more civilized time.
>>43694912
Blunt, harsh, and - above all else - strong. This Jedi really does care, but his blows can crush bones, and he's likely an animated rock or something along those lines. His style is all about crushingly powerful blows - who cares if you take a tickle or two when you can cleave them in two with a single slash?
How edgy am I, /tg/ ?
>>43694913
I'm not saying it's impossible. Like lots of things, it'd be significantly easier if the target were distracted, tired, or whatever.
You do see Force users occasionally lift one another up in the air or throwing each other backward, but that usually happens near the beginning or the end of the fight (or where there is a significant clear discrepancy in power between the fighters). That implies that when the Jedi has their guard up and isn't exhausted, they're more "grounded" in the Force or something, making it harder to affect them in such a manner.
>>43694994
Dear God, what are you DOING?! This hilt is as long as the blade, way longer than any reasonable being's hand, and if that would fit the being's hand then the blade would be nothing more than a goddamn pocketknife.
>>43695021
Like a 12 sided die.
>>43695021
I could see it working for one of those big amphibious creatures with 4 arms. Blanking on the name.
>>43695029
It's the short blade anon, not the long one.
>>43689179
This feels strangely "right".
I think I have got as much edge as I can.
This is Penumbra, one half of Sith Lord Eclipse's pared Saber Scepters (the other being the identical Umbra)
What is up with all these tiny baby emitters? Do you all have little baby hands?
>>43695170
>baby emitters
But anon, this is a blue board!
>>43695170
M80, you aren't supposed you hold your saber by the emitter. That's where the blade comes out.
