who survies ep3

It stayed EU untill it's shown in the movie...
And according to... don't know anymore, EU or BTM, Vader can adjust the lenght of the sabre and the power of the light

So these Lucasfilm background info sources like Visual Dictionary and BTM are all bogus????

And when we consider everything props then we shouldn't discuss anything. A lightsabre doesn't even exist. So there... 😛

well ... I think it's EU... but it can also be facts from the movies that are collected...

No, there is NO evidence that the lenghts can be changed. At all. And yes, queeq, all that stuff in the VD and so on is just so much nonsense.

DOUBLY so the BTM CD, which just took all its info from West End Games Star Wars RPG, which in turn was just made up on the spot when they wrote ot/

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That means that the reaction of the stormtrooper when he gets shot is EU 🙂

So all these buttons serve no purpose and it's all bogus stuff to make it look good?

hey! It does look good!
(and not all is EU!)

Tell me what buttons you are worried about, queeq.

he is referring to what i beleive are purely decorative buttons on the lightsabers. (i think the prop guys just put buttons there to make the sabers look cooler. They are JUST PROPS afterall)

I see!

Well, if lightsabres are props, remember that X-wings are also props, and that their stuff (the things we don't see them using) are therefor also decoration

yes, yess. you are correct. alot of stuff is added simply to give objects a "layered" look. so they dont look static and two-dimensional. thats how they are designed. then, a couple years later, when they decide to create some sort of technical manual, some punk comes in and says, "well this little protrusion here does this, and this thingy here does that."

BTW, yerss, the BTM-CD is still VERY good. Just all its 'technical' info is taken from the role-play- a VERY common occurence in Star Wars merchandise.

Well, they did that because they didn't knew in 1977 if there would be more functions they needed to have like in 2002 with

Spoiler:
R2 his new function: taking bread

Well, Maul's sabre has four buttons at least. I think Vader's sabre had a few.

If I have more time I can give you a detailed plan of Vaders sabre, I can't get Mauls one...

*waiting*

sorry, can you get the BTM cd perhaps?

I have it, but I thought you were going to do the work this time. 😉

sorry, printer broke down
