Lukas got a thing about cutting off limbs

look at all the "limb cutting offs" which have happened. Anniken looses his one forearm, Windu gets his hand cut of, Dooku looses his head, Anniken gets the other arm and both legs sliced off, Luke looses a hand, Vader looses his new robot hand, he must have realy been sick of it by then.

I probably missed someone.

Its a quick and effective way of disabling your opponent... Pretty smart if you ask me, especially if you want your enemy to survive

yea but dooku got his head sliced off. thats over kill

^

Wouldn't you want to lop his head off if Dooku chopped off your arm?

No, I would chop of something lower...

Cho mai

The term cho mai is used to describe the action of cutting off an opponent's weapon hand. This move shows that the Jedi using it has the honor to cause the opponent minimal physical damage; it also shows the skill and mastery of the Jedi performing the move to the opponent.

Lucas isn't just being freaky. It makes excellent sense

its a dig at the saudi's

how ironic that you would question such material, with such a sig 😖

It's to add effect in how hot the lightsaber is. They also only cut off their hand because they can't fight which is the honarable thing to do. Or they missed the lightsaber, and if so they must be pussies if they are going for the lightsaber instead of them.

i'm sure they would've loved your theory on how leaving an opponent with his honour is for pussies in Japan

Not only jedi and sith get sliced. Also that bounty hunter in EPII, and the sand people get chopped off. EPIV that guy in mos eisley *hope I got that right* gets his arm chopped. EPV the Wampa creature looses an arm. And a bunch of battle droids in EP I II and III

and the Whale Man...is that the Wampa thing?

the wampa is the creature that captures luke in hoth

oh and not to forget OB1, chopped in half, (well, not quite, I think he dissapeared and became one with the force before being chopped in half by vader)

Well Obi cuts the Whale Man's arm of in a bar in ANH.he tosseled him rudely...

Newsflash, they are using LASER SWORDS.

I think there should have been more shop shop. Like, if the jedi temple massacre was shown and other stuff hehehehehe mangle mangle

I just played the Jedi Outcast demo and noticed almost every guy I sabered was missing his left hand. Even the guy I cut the left hand off of when he was dead. But I couldn't cut off the right. The only one I remember not dying like that was the one that crouched just as I was throwing my lightsaber and got a little more than a hand removed.

Nothing funner than lopping off arms and heads.
