what was the point of a curved handle?
wouldn't it just make the end of the lightsaber heavier and more awkward to hold?
>>64116985
what was the point of this character
>>64116985
the lightsabers are a euphemism for their dicks. his just has a little curve on it. thats normal

Hello Nazi!
Jar Jar Binks was supposed to be a Sith lord. When the fans disliked him, Lucas came up with Dooku. That's why he was so rushed.
Hope this helps.

It looks cool.
>>64117471
So what kind of dick does Maul even have?
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Curved-hilt_lightsaber
>The use of curved hilts allowed for more precise movements as well as near-perfect flexibility when engaged in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. It was also more complex and gave the creator of such a hilt more of a challenge in aligning its crystals, as well as requiring a minor variation in holding the grip. Curved hilts needed to be held more in the palm, farther away from the fingertips. The hilt's curvature also gave the wielder more power when delivering overhand strikes and would change the angle of the attacks by the merest fraction of a degree; this was usually just enough to confuse and disorient an unsuspecting opponent, as evident when Valenthyne Farfalla fought and lost to Darth Bane in the Duel on Tython, and again when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi quickly lost to Darth Tyranus in their duel on Geonosis.

Christopher Lee was trained in fencing so they gave him a unique lightsaber based on a weird grip used by professional fencers.
>>64116985
It's like a walking cane. He's an old man.
Get it?because he is
>>64117650
How the fuck do you even hold this?
>>64117559
Count Dooku is the best sith. The rest let their emotions control them.
>>64117659
christopher lee died
It was a grip similar to fencing techniques
>>64117676

So why doesn't everyone use it?

It's harder to use well and it's less effective at blocking blaster shots.
Rapier blades with a curved handle change the direction of the point so that instead extending from the knuckle of the thumb, it instead extends from the knuckle of the index finger. You can seem an extreme example of this in the pistol grips of fencing foils for Olympic fencing. This makes it easier to thrust as you don't need to tip your hand and lower the point first.
Of course, you'd never understand this from the prequel choreography because he swings it side to side the same as every other lightsaber.
>Sheev was younger than Dooku
Never even realized this until now.
>>64117676
It's actually quite convenient once you get the hang of it(which takes around a minute).
Maul had the double saber
Dooku had the curved handle
Kylo Ren had the cross guard
If you were a dark side force user, what would your special snowflake lightsaber be like?

Spear.

Double spear with short but powerful blade and cortosis haft

Was he? I thought that he was Sheev's apprentice.
>>64117869
I always thought it was because he was an old man, so his saber grip had a walking cane aesthetic to it.

I don't hate this idea but I feel like you'd need a saber resistant bar for it. That being said, I always loved in martial arts movies when a guy with a staff starts flipping and tripping people with what normies consider 'better' weapons like swords.

They fucked up by killing Darth Maul. It should've been him doing Dooku's part.
>>64117858
>>64117388
Pretty sure he was the evil guy/villain and therefore the whole point of everything the good guys did in II and some of III.
>>64117858
I would have armor made out of lightsabers.
i'd be literally indestructible and the most powerful sith.

>>64118010
He was. Sheev was still younger though.
>>64117858
Mine would have a button that lets me freely extend the length of the blade up to four times the original (default) length.
>>64118193
I would create a lightsaber using the sheer power of the Force. THAT would make me the most powerful Sith.
>>64117858
20 ft long.

With the bottom part, you know the end near people's feet? It'd be a new way to get out of a saberlock, by putting the bottom behind someone's foot and pushing.
>>64117858
lightsaber that turns into a gun
>>64116985
Leverage.
>>64117858
i would just use a gun. not a laser gun. a bullet gun.
can lightsabers deflect bullets? no.
>>64118302
Decapitated feet is funnier though.
It can be used to establish how Eeevil the new sith is.

These things, but a lightsaber

Do you even know how those are used? You'd cut off your fingers.

That's the best part though

>sheev never taught him how to
AAAAAAAUUUURRRRRRRAAAGGHHHHHHHHHH
>he would have killed both of them instantly
>>64116985
Jedi\Sith make their own lightsabers and customize them. Dooku probably liked the grip or thought it looked neat.
Outside of the plot, lightsabers tend to be used to portray a character trait. In the OT, cool colors like blue and green contrast against the evil-looking red of Vader's saber. Darth Maul's double-ended lightsaber epitomizes his character as a flashy distraction from the real threat. Dooku's curved handle indicates his wavering allegiance with the dark side. Kylo Ren is a tryhard edgelord, so he put a hilt on it to look badass.
>>64117858
A scythe.
I'd make it black too.
>>64117858
Just three normal red lightsabers I'd control with the force AT ALL TIMES.

Fuck the norms of Force users not using guns, why waste the time being a space battlemage when I can be a space battlemage with a laser-sniper rifle.
And if I can't snipe or Force my way out of a situation? I got a laser spear,

It's because they're supposed to be above that sort of thing. Hacking off limbs is much more civilized you nerf herder.
>>64117858
A regular lightsaber that looks shittly made and has a button which causes the lightsaber part to malfunction
You'd press the button to make it seem like it's malfunctioning then stab your enemy when they let their guard down thinking you're vulnerable

I lightsaber chastity belt so I could fend off girls far more effectively.
original trilogy did it right. There was only one bad guy (Vader) and one minor antagonist (emperor)
prequel trilogy did it wrong, there were 4 big bad guys (mole, daku, palpitane and gravious)

Dooku basically specialized in lightsaber duels and his hilt gave him some kind of edge in that kind of combat.
>>64117858
A normal 12 gauge or the BRRRRRRRRT saber

A boomerang that's a lightsaber.
There will be no survivors.

Would you give away your best trick?
what was doku doing during the phantom menace?
>>64116985
Lightsabers have never exactly been ergonomically designed. They were originally unscrewed camera mounts.
>>64117858
A skirt made of lightsabers. I would fight by belly-dancing.
