they got polexe wrong in that picture, theres a distinct lack of an axe head. in fact that thing labelled as a pole-axe is more a warhammer
Thanks for undermining my illustration, Connah.   |

So then would you have knowledge that could settle this debate as to what defines a weapon as a pike? |

I think whoever labeled this a pike was trying too hard to be edgy, and used a term that doesn't fit. A pike is (dictionary.com) pikenoun 1. a shafted weapon having a pointed head, formerly used by infantry. See here for what defines a pike.  When I think of a pike in SW, visions of the force pikes used by the Imperial guard or Gungans come to mind. The Magna Guard electro-staffs come to mind as well. I would classify the weapon in question as a long handled staff. If it were more hilt and less blade, then I would call it a pike. Otherwise chalk it up to an overzealous game designer that wanted something "different". Well, if we're going to look at definitions:  So, the term "lightsaber" itself is inaccurate. The blade obviously isn't made of light, and since its cutting edge is omnidirectional it's not a saber. |

It's probably not a laser either. They were also referred to in early scripts as "lazerswords". |

Education time: Light Amplified through Stimulated Emissions of Radiation LASER I'm a huge fan of the "science" behind lightsabers, but the blades are supposed to be lasers contained within a field. |

He was shot in the left side of the abdomen with the bowcaster (his left, our right), which seems to have been his most serious injury. He was also slashed in the face by a lightsaber on the right side of his face (our left)...that wound would have been immediately cauterized, but will likely leave a significant scar. I'm not sure if he's in danger of losing his eye, but I didn't see him with his hand up to shield his face at the end as though his eye were damaged. Not sure but I think Rey might have just grazed him and just barely missed his eye. I think there may have been another lightsaber blow to his left shoulder, but I'm not sure about that one. |

He had a pretty serious gash in his shoulder, it's noticeable if paused on him during his closeup after he falls. Serious enough that it probably went through his collar bone. |

Okay, so sounds like nothing I missed.
Curious to see if episode 8 finds Ren more cybernetic.

Wondering if Episode 8 will have Kylo Ren more cybernetic than when we left him in 7.

Hmm...personally I doubt it. The nature of the injuries probably wouldn't require it. |
