I thought that it'd be real cool for a guy like Tulak Hord, who is one bad@$$ mother with a blade, to have an arsenal of lightsaber-force related weapons. Among these would be the light boomerang (the physics of which would not work without the force), lightkamas, and light-torashuko (like wolverine claws, only small lightsabers). Thus he would be like the Boba Fett of Jedi, a ninja with a seemingly limitless store of force weapons. This concept will lead me to a relevant fight for the forum later, but I just wanted to know if anyone thought the idea was cool. Sorry to bother anyone who thinks it is stupid.

Creativity is never a bad idea. Hell, it's one of the most original ideas I've seen around here. I think it might be feasible.

I think light-sai's would be pretty cool. It's kindove dumb, but does anyone else think like a ten foot lightsaber would be cool. It would probably require a lot of jumps and flips to use, but would be amazing if mastered. Also, swinging it wouldn't be anymore tiring that a regular lightsaber, the blade is weightless.

i think its not a bad idea very creative too.

Fishy
Although I like the idea, but from what I understand you want a lightsaber kinda like this?

Only like a lightsaber...

If thats the idea I like it but it has a few problems, those swords are not very fit for lightsaber combat. The handle is to big and although they are nice to fight with it would mean you would have to come realy close, I don't think it would be really effective.

Maybe if you could show pictures of something slightly similair it would help, but the idea sounds great.

1 new weapon for every movie...

Episode 1: doubleblader.
Episode 2: caminoan saber dart
Episode 3: Republican lightsaber dart

Now, that would be nice.

Darth L. Dipsit
Yeah. I can't send any images of what I want to show you. This message pops up on the screen that says that I can't send post messages - to keep out spammers. Somebody please tell me how to bypass this and I can show the images I anxiously want to.

Bobafetty
Ok....

To show images, preview your post. Then, there'sa browse option to upload pics.

Here is a few models of weapons that should be added:

Here are some pics (lightsabers are the blades of each weapon, and the bottom one is meant to be seen here as a handle with two blades coming out the same side):

Well, let's start with the first set of weapons...

They've be neat, but ultra close. Fitting only for an assassin or some adventurer type Force user who uses it more for stealth kills and cutting transparisteel windows than actual fighting.

The claws would need to be reworked into a gauntlet that wouldn't bend well at the wrist since the power cell would be so large for even two blades. But still, a nice concealed weapon.

The third weapon, Chinese broadsword, wouldn't be feasible. Handle is a nice touch, but Dooku already made that innovation. Or rather, ancient Jedi and Sith did. But the blade itself would be impossible to make in that shape.

More or less the same with the hook swords. Making the curved blades and hooks would be horribly difficult if not impossible. But perhaps a vibroblade/saber mix would work... Who knows?

Darth L. Dipsit
Janus, I modified the post, but you are right. Some of the ideas are overelaborate. However, I think they would be cool as crap on a guy like Tulak Hord, whom I picture as four-armed, badass Boba Fett of Sith Lords (having so many weapons). They would be cool in a fight, right? Anyone who wants can give ideas - this concept can be extended to almost any samurai/ninjitsu weapons, save perhaps the ones, like nunchuks, that bend, unless there were a lightsaber at either end...
Anyway, what do ye think, ppl?

Bobafetty
cool

Darth_Janus
I'd certainly like to see a larger variety of non-saber weapons in SW, for sure. I mean, devices like the lightwhip and force pike are nifty, but exotic blades like these would be just NOICE.

Darth L. Dipsit
Yeah, thanks Boba and Janus. My dissatisfaction with the Force weapons is what led me to write this thread. I just want to know if anyone has any ideas? Can I hear an AMEN?

Darth L. Dipsit
Oh, yeah, by the way, Fishy had better look at the pics, as he was the one who asked for them. I'd like to hear his take.

Darth_Janus
Fishy comes on at odd times, since he's in the Netherlands. Usually about five standard hours after this time, or something like that.

Bobafetty
Ah the Dutch. They have good cheese. big grin

Darth L. Dipsit
Ha ha! Yes they do.

Well as much as i'd like it, the fighting style's used with those weapons are completly different then what Jedi's use. I don't think it would be very pratical, just nice looking. Those blades often relied on speed or more power then a normal blade, but seeing as a Lightsaber is light as shit you won't be able to attack faster with a blade like that. And you won't be able to put more power into them either because well the lightsaber is like as shit and you would still put the same power in it not the weight.

Other weapons require you to become so incredibly close that you would need incredible speed to do it especially against a Jedi. I don't think anybody can be that fast. Still I like the idea, but if somebody creates it in SW he or she would have a lot of thinking to do on how it all fits in.

Its 6 hours earlier on the east coast of the US then it is here... Change your time zone stick out tongue

Darth_Janus
Pfft. I was damn close. lol

So when these light boomerangs are thrown do they automatically return to the thrower? How fast do they move? How many RPM's?
