Title: Starkiller Post by: Saberstar on October 17, 2011, 08:03:49 PM Is it possible to make a Starkiller hilt??
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: NeoDuragon on October 17, 2011, 08:16:49 PM From what I've seen, the Bellicose is very similar to Starkiller's saber from The Force Unleashed 2. The Raven is very close to the dark apprentice's saber from the first game. As far as I know, US has never developed a hilt similar to the original saber.
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Vex on October 17, 2011, 09:08:41 PM I agree, the Bellicose is the closest Ultra Saber you'll find for Starkiller.
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: darth tratus on October 17, 2011, 09:27:30 PM yeah id say the bellicose for starkiller and the raven for sith stalker version of starkiller.
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Manroon on October 17, 2011, 09:32:26 PM I have a Bellicose. The emitter on that saber is very close to the TFU II Starkiller. Other than that, you pretty much have to go custom to get the TFU I saber. I've seen some nice ones done from PVC, and a guy on here whose name escapes me did an AWESOME MHS one.

Our own resident PVC Sabersmith made this one. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3278.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3278.0) The main problem is the crystal part, It weakens the saber. Midian did a great job modifying the design to be more functional. As for what my brothers said before me, I own a bellicose and it is very close to TFUII sabers and it is fantastic. Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Kham-Ryn Kurios on October 19, 2011, 08:38:25 PM Bellicose!
After finding out that it was based off of TFU2 starkiller saber. I freaked, I love it even more now. The bellicose is great, but it is a little big so make sure you take that into account. Great V1 saber Wraith! ;D ;D Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: darth tratus on October 19, 2011, 09:59:45 PM thats an awesome saber wraith! sound?
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: darth tratus on October 19, 2011, 10:22:18 PM i wouldnt say he was advertising. after all, he did say for people to go no further than the bellicose. unless they want an exact replica of some sort you would have to go to another saber builder. i personally though think the bellicose is good enough.
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Manroon on October 19, 2011, 10:30:06 PM I think he's safe on advertising. He said the builder he used is retiring now, so that pretty much nixes any competetion for US there.... lol And mentioning FX sabers hasn't been a mortal sin here in the past, not to mention we talk about TCSS all the time. Long as you don't link, you're usually good. :)
Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Kham-Ryn Kurios on October 19, 2011, 11:07:49 PM Yeah normally I'd say it would be not kosher, but we can let it slide here. The guy is retired, and it was custom work he had done by somebody over at FX. It is a great hilt, Wraith, enjoy it! What he said about the Bellicose was completely accurate. It's very reminiscent of the TFUII promo sabers... I really wish those were used in game, they would have been cool. The actual ones used in game (which Wraith included a pic of) kinda remind me of fancy versions of the Dark Standard Issue actually. They do look a lot like the DSI's. Maybe luminescent tape or something. Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Manroon on October 19, 2011, 11:53:10 PM You know, I'm not exactly the expert on PVC customs.... but those LOOK like they'd be pretty easy to do in PVC. Cut some shroud pieces, make the main body from clear PVC or blade material, put a white LED and a mirror inside in the pommel and emitter spaces, and then the details are fairly simple. Toss in an LED and a blade, and you're good to go! I don't think it'd be the sturdiest dueling saber, but it would sure make for a great show hilt for cons, fanfilms, and the like. If I had the time, motivation, and dremmel skills I'd probably do it myself just for kicks! lol

Was Not My Intention I Assure You... (As Master Attoru Will Understand: I guess Your right Brother, it is always unintentional harm :-\... My Bad... I'll Try To Work On This ;)) Thank You All For The Praise Regarding The Hilt ;D!!! Now as a sort of penance, we shall compare The Ultrasabers Belicose To The Concept Sabers From TFU II ;)!!! Concept Sabers From TFU II: (http://s3.gamefreaks.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/Games_Star_Wars__The_Force_Unleashed_2_023231_.jpg) Now Ultrasabers Belicose Hilt ;): (http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQTzawz6mxXVZ6WCDY9buQvpCHNr-_UaZ4BHU1uaBj4lwZ1NGoGqETyTIXU) Now granted you can't really see the bottom of the saber in the concept art... but Regarding The Rest of Hilt: That's About As Dead On As I think You Can Get ;)!!! (And Actually, My Personal Opinion Is That Ultra, and The Ultrasabers Team Dramatically Improved The Hilt With The Custom Black Paint Work 8)!!! The Concept Art Designs Are A Little Plain If You Ask Me :-\... But The Belicose Is AWESOME EPIC AMAZINGNESS!!!!! 8) 8) 8) Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Kham-Ryn Kurios on October 20, 2011, 03:26:28 AM I really like my Bellicose now. ;D
It is a great single and double handed saber. Title: Re: Starkiller Post by: Master Nero Attoru on October 20, 2011, 04:06:05 AM Here's a capture from the first trailer, it kinda shows the pommels:

They would look really close to the game versions. And duel-able!
