Dooku's Sabre

Well, they are weird things... but clearly solid and hence shadow casting.

The solid without mass idea is messing with my head. If that's the way GL wanted it though...

I think a gyroscopic affect is the ebst way they try and explain it. Still, that's a fantasy weapon for you...

just a thought, but if the blade is going to be slightly curved like a samuri sword or whatever, then how is GL goin to merchandise it? it will be pretty hard to make a toy out of.

Commercialism will ALWAYS find a way...

But I am pretty sure it is straight.

i'm still not convinced by the scan of dooku's sabre. Looking at it i imagine it would be very difficult to handle. Much more so than a standard saber. It is even more difficult to hold and move than the double sabre by the looks of it. There seem to be no advantage to it , unless it is a hidden advantage. The bit of metal at the bottom / top intrigues me as it seems to serve no obvious function and would oonly get in the way during combat. What if the sbare splits into two or ghas some hidden weapon in it? There seems to be a diagnoal line down it, what if it splits in two to give dooku two sabers which some people suspect he wields.

How can we prove that that is his lighsaber at all? I want to know where you guys get your info. Thanks. 😕

Oh we have NO proof that the shot is genuine at all. Scepticism degrees are quite varied around here; you will find myself and Dim are normally very wary.

I'm not certain where that pic actually originated from.

Nothing is proven until the film is released, that's my line. Even the OS may be BS...

Yeah, but it's so much fun to speculate, to cast wild ideas that are shot down in flames, or discussed further and then shot down in flames.
Remember too, that we can only ponder on what Episode 2 will be like until that day wen we find out for certain what's true and what's not. Then it's set in stone.

...unless it's wrong...

Mind you, I think everyone understands the point of a discussion forum.

Well most do, some just think it's a place to beat the other guy into submission.

(Who? Me? Nah!!!)

With a big stick!

You have a big stick???

I have a tremendous, difficult to wield one. I can hardly lift it, so you have nothing to fear from me.

It's QUITE big...

Does it have a sharp, pointy end?

Careful! You could have someone's eye out with that!

Ok, is there ANY more good info about his sabre anywhere?

I don't believe there's any real info yet, IMHO.

The best I can tell you is that I have seen a picture of Ewan practising against an opponent who seemed to have a straight lightsabre (opponent's picture was blocked by a text box). I posted a new thread a while back about some new insider pics (whihc you all let drift to the bottom of the board without a single reply - weep).As I remember, there was a picture of Hayden practising against a young looking guy, but he was swinging his sabre quickly, and you couldn't tell if it was curved or not.
