and u know this how

Erm, because Lucas has said so? And that people that are supposedly close to George Lucas wouldn't go around telling people that.

Oh, and they wouldn't act like a stupid moron either.

Lucas only said he would consider a movie about some war between jedi and sith with Yoda starring main role. If he ever seriously is going to use that idea though, it will be in a television series probably.
I don't see him making another movie.

Single Bladed Lightsaber. I don't see why anyone would want 2. All the greatest Jedi/Sith used a single bladed lightsaber. Yoda, Palpatine, Malak, Revan (flashbacks you see him with one), Obi-Wan, Mace, Dooku, Anakin/Vader, Luke, and so on and so forth.

did lucas not say that episodes one two and three wouldn't be so right after the old trilogy was released? and yet they eventually came out...

I like two for the accesibility and the fact that i'm pretty much a makashi practitioner so i just use both my hands as makashi and also Revan was neither a primarily Jar'Kai Practitioner nor a single bladed practitioner but he has many confrontation preferring to use two blades. He is most likely to be in an attack confrontation when wielding two swords because of the hardness of defending i should know i'm actually a sword masterer

I would typically consider using a single blade (until I determined what the situation called for). One must be fluid and be able to improvise (if necessary) to be a true master of any combat form.

I believe a person limits themself by choosing only one type of lightsaber though. I would definitely have to have a personal arsenal of various types of lightsabers, allowing for a much broader scope of choice (depending on the potential circumstances).

And Revan was seen using both single lightsaber and dual lightsabers (KotoR 1 & KotoR 2). Definitely a person who knew how to improvise in the middle of combat.

As for Dooku, he became a borderline megalomaniac (probably due to sith-dark side influence). Hence, I would imagine he would say that whatever style "HE" used was the absolute best, and anything else was a waste of time.... Right up to the point where a certain young man would take two lightsabers and cut off a certain head belonging to one "Count"- lol. Laterz. :-D

Cord

This one:

The curved lower grip allows it to be used one-handed for Makashi techniques, and the straight upper grip also allows it to be used two handed for more defensive Soresu techniques.

Hey cool! Are you a Dooku fan aswell? I'm thinking of starting a fanclub here on KMC. I'm sure there must be a lot of people who will join!

You'll probably get more members than a fan club for Orphan Annie, King of Domestic Abuse... On a serious note, yes, Dooku's saber was an influence for my saber, but so was Obi-Wan's. I've been studying European and Japanese fencing since I was eight, so I wanted a saber that could handle both styles of fencing.

i agree to the max
also darth vious do u want me to make u a nihilius sig

Damn, if I could make a light saber hilt... I wonder if they sel the right materials in regular stores to make a really nice one.

And I would go for using the force. I think im the first person to say that...

A force attack owns pretty much ANY light saber...

hmm...i say force and duel sabers...

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer a personal one 🙂 If you could do a sig from the costume photos I have though, that would be fantastic 🙂

A hardware store will have the basics you'll require ( 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch metal pipe) but depending on the actual details you want, you might need to go to online sources for certain parts. If you need any advice or links, just let me know 🙂

Legion...he never said that. 😐 He retitled the first Star Wars film 'Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope' for its rerelease into theaters, in the late 1970's.

Single lightsaber: Why bother with two, you risk the chance of cutting yourself. More does not necessarily mean better.

Dual lightsabers: Shorter one to defend, and the longer one coming at you biatch.

Double bladed lightsaber: Me like smash. Me like fighting and hurting people. Me like ending battle quickly.

Force master: Screw lightsaber, I'ma storm your asses.

Single bladed--either blue with a silver-white hilt or red with black and gold hilt.

Thanks for the offer 🙂 I've posted links to the pics as they'd be too large to post on the forum without messing up the tables 🙂
