Palpatines Curved Lightsabre

Though in one of the SW Insiders Rick M. says we will.

I thought he said we will find out why he's a great master but he would fight without a saber.

The speculation geing he has some form of Light side lightening attack.

I'm pretty sure it said he would dawn a saber.

I have to admit I don't know either way.

I still can't imagine Ian McDiarmid in a saber fight...but I guess they might not show something like that.

I could definately see him using one. They could use a lot of computer techniques to make him look like an incredible fighter.

I don't know why I'm so worried about it...If Alec Guiness can do a believable fight I'm sure Ian can. I doubt CGI will be needed.

And Ian McDairmid isn't that old. He is in his fifties.

Yeah I finally realized that 🙂

He was pretty young in ROTJ.Geesh you never would have guessed it though.🙂

A curved lightsaber is cool. You know how some of the weapons in the Star Wars Universe is almost like in the real world. You know like those Vibro-Axes in ROTJ. They look like battle axes from the medevel days. When my brother told me about the Jedi Exar Kun with a Double-Bladed lightsaber I thought that is one of the most dummust things ever! But when I saw Ep1 I changed my mind. It was cool cause when Ray Park did those moves,slashes,and jumps I thought it is great!! That's just what I think.

I hadn't heard that about Jedi Exar Kun but goinmg on your previous reverse facts can anyone else confirm?

I can. I've seen pictures of it.

yeah..and to think that RC was making fun of me for wondering how they would curve a blade...hehehe..see!! even GL won't go there!

If you want to see Exar Kun's double bladed lightsaber read Tales Of The Jedi: The Sith War.

The curved lightsaber makes sense and I hope we get something like that in II. To me, the lightsaber is a bit of a confusing mix of technology and the force. Until TPH, the two extremes were the lightsabers of Luke, OB1 and Anakin vs. the Emperors bolts. Now we have the staff version of Maul and it would be interesting to fill in the gaps in between. It seemed a bit odd that Anakin/Vader commented several times through 4-6 regarding Luke's "advanced" lightsaber, implying that somehow Luke was advancing the technology and that a Jedi skill was involved in it. With the emperor's control of the dark side of the force, it would make sense that he could engineer weapons that could use the force in more complex ways than a straight meter of light. Taking that theory a few degrees further would then explain the lightening bolts, where no weapon was required to focus the energy.
