Okay, everyone knows about the lightsaber and the Sith double-sided lightsaber, but why not create a cooler weapon like a lightscythe or a lightdagger? Give any suggestions on a light- type weapon for the Star Wars series.

Light-spear. Think of the range and the techniques you could use with it! Like a naginata! (See picture below to find out what I'm talking about.:D )

A modern Naginata (made of wood for practice) in use:

Handles are a problem. I was thinking of braces. It straps on the arms, and goes from about halfway from the elbow to about a foot beyond the hand. You could put a pressure sensitive power switch against the skin, contracting certain muscles would activate it.

Sounds good. It could have a sensor that detected your body's magnetic field and turn itself off when it came back. :cool:

I always thought it would be cool to see a Jedi with two sabers instead of one. Not like Darth Maul's, but two seperate blades held in each hand.

Didn't Anakin (or someone) use two at one point? :confused:

Anakin did use two light sabres towards the end of SW:Ep2 to fight Count Dooku, didn't make much of a difference though his ass got whooped :D

You'd have to train with them, which Anakin didn't.

Light TONTO'S.

I fail to see teh benefit of a 1 foot blade, unless you want a very cool pocket knife.

In Phantasy Star Online, they have photon swords, glaives, etc. It's pretty neat.

A Grimreaper Scyte that would look like you are a new born Grimreaper.

How's about a MACE?????

Swinging one of those around would be awesome.

A mace would look cool, as would any spear or polearm. However, remember that the effective portion is not metal, it is light (somehow). So a mace or axe would not work, it doesn't have the mace up the end required to function as it should. You might as well use the standard lightsabre. With a spear or polearm type weapon, you have a short effective area up the end of a long pole, which could easily be cut by another such weapon.

Yeah but did you see the look on Count Dooku's face after the fight? He looked like he almost shit himself.

All he had to do is be disciplined and not so cocky, with Obi Wan they could of beat Dooku but hey.....that's Darth Vader.
