lighsabers

well my 3 year old son calls them light savers

hes got 2 a red and blue one

weve had some good battles

hes my padawan

My son has a Darth Maul saber and a QGJ saber. We have some wicked fights in the garden with them.

Oh My God! Look it don't matter how it spelled. What matters is what is called. No spelling required. So can't you find something more interesting to fight over then the spelling of a word that has two spellings anyways.

Jedi Knightess 😮‍💨

How so??? Clearly if the two spellings have alternate meanings I would say it's a valid point that Ushgarak raised, even if I chose to disagree with his point of view on this one.

Or we could all just sit here and say nothing I guess... See my point? 😄

Yes, like I say, it was more than just semantics. But RC came up with a good compromise...

Sabre just seems more.....Jedi. IMHO.

Ok, admission time.

My server is called Jadesabre (RE), but I named all my computers with names linked to Mara Jade so that may not count as it was the ship name....

Confession is good for the soul. 😎

I can't afford to become involved in the historical complexities of the spelling of the word, I just use the general rule that because I'm English, 'R' is always before 'E', i.e. metre, centre, etc.

And Master & Order & Father and Insider...

Hmmm, that kinda knocks that idea for a sixer....

Also, I noticed the updated Databank entry on the Official Site....

Enjoy!!!!

It's french derived words that go with an r first, of course.

Sorry, didn't realise how stupid I sounded. I meant words which are usually spelled differently by the Americans.

Clarification is always nice.

No comments on that Data entry at the OSWWS?

Obviously packed with 'saber' words to drive the point home, but then, I don't know what it was like before the update.

Me neither, but the speller (ER) has been the one in common use within the novels and EU since before ROTJ.

What do they say, if you haven't seen it on the Official website, it's just a rumour... 😄

Actualy there isn't a limit to the coulours a lightsaber can have because I've been on a web site that shows all lightsabers that have either been in Star Wars films or Star Wars books or novels. There's been yellow ones...purple ones.... even a whight one with a tint of blue! 😮‍💨

Uh huh, but then there was a quote that said that there were only three types, hense the question.

General belief around here though does agree with your statement.

Joe- that is EU source material. No good. RM's quote has far more power, but still is not canonical.

I wonder if SLJ will get his wish and have a purple blade?

I didn't know it was a wish, just thought he was under the impression he would have a purple blade. I reckon Ki Adi Mundi will have a purple blade, in keeping with the Ep1 figures. I wonder what colour Yoda's will be (you have read the reports about his fight, haven't you?).
