Ahsoka's white lightsabers in Rebels are pretty sweet. What they represent, the Samurai-esque design of the hilts, and just how cool they look in action.

Samurai-esque is kind of stretching it.

Anyway, Revan's, Luke/Anakin's, Dooku's, Kyle's, and Exar Kun's, as well as any variation of these, were nice.

That's what Dave's intention was, IIRC. The long as ****, curved hilt seems samurai-ish to me.

Maul's.

Lulz, having a curved hilt doesn't make something Samurai-esque. And Dave can intend whatever he wants to. Doesn't make it true.

They aren't similar to Dooku's hilt. They do look quite similar to a Katana's hilt.

The curve isn't the main attribute that makes it look samurai-esque, it's the length of it. But whatever lol, if you don't think it looks samurai enough good for you, but IMO the design looks similar enough for it to be "samurai-esque".

Having blades of different lengths and curved hilts is hardly Samurai-esque, imo. Those exist in pretty much every culture with swords ever. The biggest thing about katanas are their unique blades that demand a certain style of fighting. Now if you think Shien is similar to Kenjutsu, that's you. Personally, they just look like lightsabers with curved hilts to me.

I think what is supposed to make them samurai-esque is that unlike pretty much all other lightsabers, the hilts are quite square and flat.

Combine that with the slight curve and they do resemble something like a katana.

Just for reference. ^

Mmmm, also forgot about the diamond markings.

FreshestSlice Eternal Commander

Hmm, they do look way more like katana hilts on closer inspection. Still kind of meh on them though.

Dooku's hilt is great. Also, Bulq's standard saber combined with shoto is really interesting. Maul's staff is also cool.

The standard hilt is the best kind, in my opinion. The rest are try-hardy and don't really make sense, because the people who wield them fight the same as everyone else. What's the point in having katana-styped hilts if you're not going to use them like katanas?

Dunno. Maybe I'm just a bitter, old ***** nigga.

Take your pick. Do a list of each, maybe!
