Title: Best-looking EU Sabers
Post by: BurceChuat on December 13, 2015, 10:13:47 AM
Sure, everyone has a favorite canon lightsaber, but what about non-canon ones? I have a couple favorites; here they are in order of looks, at least in my opinion.

1. Darth Nihl's long-handled lightsaber: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/3a/Darth_Nihl_LECG.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090602212536 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/3a/Darth_Nihl_LECG.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090602212536). This pretty much ties with Obi-Wan's EP1/2 lightsaber when it comes to my favorite lightsaber design.
2. Tenel Ka Djo's rancor tooth lightsaber: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/fe/Tenel_Ka_Djo_lightsaber_EGF.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090610020646 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/fe/Tenel_Ka_Djo_lightsaber_EGF.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090610020646). Any lightsaber handle that's comprised entirely of a giant tooth just looks amazing.
3. K'kruhk's Star Wars: Clone Wars lightsaber: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/f1/Kkruhksaber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080914053416 (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/f1/Kkruhksaber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080914053416). Big fan of this utilitarian lightsaber.
4. Darth Talon's Yorik coral lightsaber: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/f5/Talon_saber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090210165044 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/f5/Talon_saber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090210165044). Simple and very natural-looking, I especially enjoy how the crystal is seated all the way at the bottom and is clearly visible.
5. Zayne Carrick's second lightsaber: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/0/0c/Zayne%27s_curved_saber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091118191753 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/0/0c/Zayne%27s_curved_saber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091118191753). The waviness looks very comfortable to grip, not to mention that it (along with most Old Republic lightsabers) looks elegant.
6. Tra Saa's lightsaber: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/ee/Tra_Saa_saber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100318153342 (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/ee/Tra_Saa_saber.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100318153342). Another one that fuses nature and technology well, although this one is a bit more obvious than the others. The balance between the two seems almost perfect to me.



That about completes my list, what are your favorite EU lightsabers?

I always loved the clean simplicity of the Imperial Knight saber.

Totally agree with this assessment.  I fell that these could easily be made with the current options that US has.  Wouldn't mind having one of these in my collection.

I have always been a huge fan of Mara Jade Skywalker's lightsaber:

Abby DarkStar did a Satele Shan cosplay with a beautiful custom saber

I thought Clone Wars was canon? Oh well, here are my nominations.

Swashbuckler's saber from SWTOR PvP (Not attainable now ;_;)

And the Intrepidity saberstaff from SWTOR as well!

The CGI Clone War is canon but the genndy tartakovsky Clone Wars is not.

Jev I thought US made an Imperial Knight hilt back in the day when they first got into making sabers out of aluminum instead of PVC. About 2 years ago or less someone posted a vid on the forum of one they picked up used and it looked pretty close to this pic.

Can't believe I forgot this beauty:

The only real complaint I have is with the pommel...it looks like someone tried to shoehorn a little Obi in there.

Wondering where I got all these neat designs from?
