Pimp My Lightsaber

I came across this replica of Mace's lightsaber. All gold and chrome and pimped out. Surprised it's not lowered, too.

And while I've got your attention, I was gonna ask in general if anyone knew why he had a purple blade. Is that part of his uniqueness as a minority Jedi master or is there some deeper, darker purpose? Hmm... that didn't pan out so well on screen as it did in my head. It's way to early in the morning for this.

And a rare shot of Mace when he's not killing Mandalorians.

And lastly, a gaggle of lightsaber handles I've seen somewhere.

u know its purple because SLJ asked Lucas for it! but it'd b cool if there was SOME explanation in the movies for it! i mean he's the ONLY one with a different color!!! it seems a bit flash and stylised for a Jedi. a Jedi shouldn't care what colour his blade is IMHO

I have no clue. Maybe to stand out from the rest of the jedi to show that he is unique because of his accomplishments.

I own a replica.

yeah i own a forcefx replica, but i agree, this was in another thread somewhere about how mace was a jedi pimp with his gold laced prpl llightsaber

BTW Janus, that pic is hillarious

nice steal of my picture janus!

thats what maces lightsaber looks like all of the time, ur just now noticing it?

I like it, makes him more unique. I mean, I hate the color purple but I like that he has a purple lightsaber because it's different. Mace is my favorite Jedi character and I like how his lightsaber is one of a kind.

This may have been said somewhere, but it was thought for a while that he used a puple blade to show he was once a Dark Jedi or something because blue and red make purple. The statement made by others is that he asked for it because he liked the color and George Lucas wanted him to stand out anyways and that is how they chose to do that.

I don't buy into that "Mace is a traitor" thing some people are starting to believe. I believe that is what Sam said he wanted.

If, its any idea's in the tv spots for ATOC,
IT says mace uses a Electrum lightsaber
whereas in obiwans tv spot it says he uses a crystal lightsaber.
Any idea's?

Thanks to Jackstain for the picture of golfing Mace. I merely added the colors.

As for the gaggle of hilts, they're a preview pic for a mod pack for Jedi Academy made by the somebody with a bit more talent than I. They're models of the prequel hilts.

And, as for the blade color, I actually like it. Purple's not a color I'd stick on many things in life, but for a lightsaber its fitting. In particular, having a black robed Sith lord with pale skin and a purple saber is a nice touch, as the red sabers in the games tend to look on the orange side.

GL has said that the only reason it is pruple is because sam jackson asked to have a different color, because he thought he shuld be different.

as for the electrum thing....the handle is made from electrum material......in essence, theyre all crystal lightsabers, its just to add to the effect of the commercial.

Well if u played the old republic each colu stands for a different jedi liek a blue is for a jedi guardian witch is always ready for battle so i wander wat purple would stand for maybe becasue he's black not that im racial lol

the weridest thing would be a yellow lightsaber has any1 ever seen one? or a white lightsaver that would be cool,or a pink u kno a real jedi wears pink lol

Cyan & Bronze... Brings a tear to my eye...

they've probably come up with a reason for the purple. Of course you have to compensate considering SLJ usually legs it around with a nice little hand cannon and affro. But i've seen SW graphic novels of KOTOR with a purple lightsaber. I tend to find that regular blue and red suit most things.
