Sidious shouldn't even have had a lightsabre form.

Hey is lightsabre a european thing? I am just curious since we americans spell it lightsaber.

It's the British spelling. I spell "saber" as sabre.

Sabre, calibre, theatre... colour... I used to type and write like that, but I don't anymore. Surprised you didn't know that. I thought it was common knowledge.

Just wondering Janus, but where are you from, the Location below your avatar wasn't exactly forthcoming.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Not originally, but yes. I am a beach bum.

Ah, thank you.

Of course.

Janus, are you on invisible mode. Just wondering because I never see your name on the forum list at the top of the page...

I am. Stealth Janus!

Just a precaution... I used to get six to eight PMs when I'd first log on, and when I first get on I deal with PMs, then check my sig gallery, then other random out of SW Versus and Eu threads I replied on, and then I concentrate on viewing each active thread.

ALl that while at work... just got tired of people PMing me, not because I hate answering questions or anything... just stretched too thin.

Why do people PM you so much though?

You open your mouth as much as I do on this forum, and people think you know something.

That and I'm pretty quick to respond.

I PM him a fair bit. Not every time though.

I could spam some poor newbie with seven Ootenie! PMs.

lol... And get ignored, likely.

Ah well, twas a good idea at the time.

Whats the point of spamming newbies?

They are either going to like the attention and stay. Or think this forum sucks and leave...

Either way the rest of us are screwed.

My thinking is that he shouldn't have used a blade at all. See, to me, ROTS Sidious and AOTC and ROTS Yoda are just weird. You have to have Yoda battle Count Dooku - actually Mace would've been a good choice as well.

When I saw Return of The Jedi - the Emperor struck me as the pure embodiment of evil. He wasn't as overzealous and psychotic as he was in Revenge of the Sith. TMP and AOTC Sidious do the Emperor justice in Return of the Jedi.

In ROTJ, we see Palpatine not use a blade - but is more than capable of doing his fair share of ass-kicking (or shocking, as the case may be). I got the impression that he simply didn't need a blade to kill people.

To me, Yoda and Palpatine should've been the VERY best in saber ability - to keep up with the fact that they're both the most powerful Jedi and Sith in the trilogies - or they simply shouldn't have used them at all.

That's just me, though.

I think that's just Exar Kun kicking ass, not his form. 😛

Does Exar Kun pull of anything that is very Dooku-like, Sorgo? I wouldn't know.

I agree, ObiWan1982.

Either would I. I haven't really seen Kun in person nor have ever seen him on the streets. And i could imagine the whole double-bladed Lightsaber ideal could alter the form just a wee bit.

Although i don't know whether he used it or not, it is just rumor and/or speculation.

I have heard that Exar was a makashi master as well, but that is just a rumor and i don't know if it is true or not.
