View Full Version : Light Weapons: why stop at a Lightsaber?
UberDragon 06-10-02, 09:46 AM 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.
Lesion42 06-10-02, 10:10 AM 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:

Very cool.:cool:
The Metatron 06-10-02, 03:34 PM What about a lightarang a lightsaber like boomarang.
Lesion42 06-11-02, 08:14 PM Hmm... How would you hold one?:confused:
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.
Lesion42 06-13-02, 04:56 PM Sounds good. It could have a sensor that detected your body's magnetic field and turn itself off when it came back. :cool:
Battle Axe would be cool
Spear
Sche and
Dagger
i dont know why Lucas hasnt done this yet
Kenshin 06-23-02, 04:03 PM This is my weapon.

My katana.
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.
Firefly 06-24-02, 09:10 AM Didn't Anakin (or someone) use two at one point? :confused:
How about a Light Frisbee, or is that too TRON.
Harsesis 06-25-02, 05:15 AM 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.
SoLiDUS 09-30-02, 03:28 AM Light TONTO'S.
Need I say more ?
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.
Rebel_number 10-03-02, 04:01 PM A Grimreaper Scyte that would look like you are a new born Grimreaper.
yeah that would be so cool:D
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.
The Man has a point............
:(
So how's about............
Doh!
I was going to say Nunchaka, but how would you hold the bloody thing?
How about a Whip?
what about gloves/gauntlets? (i think their called)
shielded for hands.
they would be cool... i can see it now, anikin grabbing dooku's sabre mid swing with one hand & hitting him with the butt. :D

Yeah but did you see the look on Count Dooku's face after the fight? He looked like he almost shit himself.
Now if Anakin had really, really trained with them, like Maul had to have trained with his...

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.
