Palpatines Curved Lightsabre

TFN say that Palpatine will have a lightsabre in Ep2 and that it will be curved. They have pictures of a curved sword and it looks very interesting.

Yeah it looks very cool but..

1. How in the world does it bend the light?
2. I can't imagine Palpatine fighting...Has anyone ever seen Ian McDiarmid do a fight scene?

yeah, i really don't see why the blade could or should be curved. what difference does it make? it's a lightsaber. it can cut through (almost) anything. i imagine that palpatine probably has one, and along with that thought, he probably hasn't used it in combat for decades (training with Maul???).

as long as we're talking about light weapons, how about

light ninja stars? you throw this little disk and then use the force to ignite it while in flight.
light arrows that you shoot from a crossbow? goes right through all of those clones!
light dagger? for when you lose your saber and need to kill the now approaching, over-confident bad guy.
light brass nuckles? ow, that hurt.
light nun-chucks (spelling)? okay, this one is a little stupid, up there with the curved blade.

i wouldn't be suprised if the only "weapon" we see palpatine with is his funky blue bolts of nastyness.

Dim,

I'm going to have to invoke the "It's only a movie" clause.

How does it bends light?!?! 😂 More to the point, how to you create a focus 1 meter light blade. Solve that one before worrying about bending it.

WHAT?..."it's only a movie"?... noooooooooooooooooooooooooo...can't be! TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE!!! *sob* 😱 😱 😱 😛

I think in the future we will be able to make light from cyrtals like in S.W.Maybe 25 years from now.Who knows.

Maybe Palpatines sword isn't a lighsabre but just a very strong ancient sword that he fights with.

Tainted One- I like those ideas but can't see Lucas putting weapons that violent in Ep2.

Why?He has a hand chopped off in a movie so why not daggers or something?

The same reason that scenes with Ninja stars are cut out of most martial arts movies. They are seen as being too violent.

And a wampa arm,Luke's hand,Vader's hand,and a guy from a cantina's arm being cut off isn't?

No. Probably because it was a sword. Enter the Dragon had to have all of it's ninja star scenes cut out before it could be shown and that was rated 18.

You don't think that's violet?God.

I do think it is violent and that's the point. Even though it is violent, Ninja stars still couldn't be shown.

Yeah they could.Just get stab in the stomach or foot.That's not that violet.Maul's death is still much more violet then the stars.

All of those Ninja star scenes were banned.

Your point being?

Something which is seen as being that violent won't be in Sttar Wars.

And definately not if your want a General U certificate.

Remember Star Wars is aimed at a young audience, they're not going to make a 15 or 18 film out of it, they'd loose too much of their audience.

Thank you.

I know but they could still use them without it being real violet.Like I said above they did have people's body parts cut off.
