Suggestion Box/Wishlist: what do we want from Ultrasabers?

[Zren Tobas]

^^^I'd have to get a few of them then. The Imperial Knight, our Revan saber, and a few others. How about threaded tips though of our own as well? Thatw ay we can switch from round to pointed tip if we wanted. Just an idea though =]

[BladeCrossEXE]

They should make replica sabers of ALL the major characters. We already have one for Anakin, Vader, Maul, Darth Starkiller, Qui Gon, and Obi Wan (Episodes 1 an 2), and the Archon is pretty close to Luke's ROTJ and Obi's ANH saber.

Count Dooku: The Tyrant. (His sith name, Tyrannus, is derived from Tyrant) or "The Renegade".
Palpatine: The Mastermind (need a better name)
Asajj Ventress: The Assassin (also needs a better name)
Yoda: High Councilman.
Mace Windu: ...I need a name for this. I got nothing.
Ahsoka: The Padawan
Galen Marek (Starkiller. His saber as Vader's Apprentice): The Redeemer
Pre Vizsla: The Artifact (because it's an ancient lightsaber)

Anyone got name suggestions for these? Or for other character's sabers?

The Jules... or the Fury...

[Indignatio]

Mace Windu's 1st light saber would be an easy one to make. The could modify some bits from the menace....


but I would LOVE to see his 2nd saber

[Indignatio]

also Anakin's first saber would be nice to see made.

[BladeCrossEXE]

I'd say use Shock instead of a Menace.
For Anakin's first saber, that's what we have the Prophecy for.

I actually didn't notice till you mentioned that, and I googled it, but I had assumed that Anakin used the same style of saber between episodes 2 and 3 (the one Luke gets from Obi Wan.) They do have a similar design, but not identical.

[Racona Nova]

The Graflex is actually Anakin's first (and in parts second) saber, I can't remember he had another one...expect for the third (here called The Chosen One) during his time as Darth Vader.

[BladeCrossEXE]

This is his first saber, used in Episode 2.

Here's the one he used later and the one that Obi gave to Luke.


The first one resembles the Prophecy, and the second one is the Graflex.

[BladeCrossEXE]

Actually, if we want to go WAY back, here's this. This details all the sabers Anakin used until his defeat on Mustafar (Except Asajj Ventress' during the duel on Yavin 4.)

[Racona Nova]

I never realized they're that different...you're right, his first one is more similar to the Prophecy.

[BladeCrossEXE]

Don't feel bad. Until about 10 minutes ago, I didn't know either. ._. I feel ashamed. I've been a Star Wars fan all my life! I watched them all more times than I can count, and easily pointed out the saber errors in episode 3. How did I miss THAT!? But this new knowledge will help out on the review video I'm doing tomorrow. Gonna do a review of my Dark Prophecy, and now I know more about it!

[Racona Nova]

That's me as well...and what saber errors?

[BladeCrossEXE]

Several. Some are easy to miss, some jump out and slap you across the face.

Obi Wan vs Grievous. The two sabers in his right hands, one is the prop for Anakin's Saber (Graflex), has Green blade, the other is Obi Wan's, has a blue blade. After he loses the hand with Obi Wan's saber, in the shot where he's crossing two sabers in front of Obi Wan, we see the Graflex with a blue blade.

Skip to 0:21, then watch as the fight progresses. The blades switch color. It's most notable when he loses the hand carrying Obi Wan's prop.


Palpatine vs Windu: in some close up shots, he's carrying a Graflex, though it's easy to miss, since his hands are covering most of the saber. Look closely at the emitter, especially when the camera is centered on Palpatine himself.

Skip to 0:30 for a good shot of Palpatine's saber, then to 1:21, and keep watching to see it.

Anakin vs Obi Wan: the scene where Anakin is strangling Obi Wan, from the upward angle, Obi Wan is holding his own saber. From the down angle used a few seconds later, it's Anakin's handle, and it switches back and forth a few times.

Skip to 1:08 and watch until they start fighting without sabers.

here is Mace's first lightsaber... from TPM



then it became this:

I'm aware. I'd use a Shock instead of a Menace. But that's just me.
