Title: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: Roband on August 08, 2015, 05:49:36 AM Like the title says:

Please correct if I am wrong Initiate & Dark Initiate v2, v3 & v4 are original designs Aeon/Dominix v2, v3 & v4 are original designs Apprentice/ Dark Apprentice are (abreviated sentinels) original designs Standard Issue Battle Saber and Dark Standard issue are original designs Sentinel v4 is inspired by Bastila Shan's The old Republic saberstaff Liberator/ Dark Liberator are original designs Prophecy/Dark Prophecy v3 is an original design based on a simplified Graflex/Chosen One Bellicose is inspired by Galen Marek SW The Force Unleashed Starkiller's sabers (sans the leather wrap) Shock/Dark Shock are original designs Overlord are original designs Bane is inspired by the SW comic books Darth Bane saber War Glaive is an original design Consular is inspired by Qui Gon Jin's Phantom Meanace saber Archon v2.1 is inspired by Luke Skywalker's ROTJ saber Arbiter/ Dark Arbiter is an original design Catalyst/ Dark Catalyst is an original design Monarch/ Dark Monarch is inspired by one of Darth Sidious several lightsabers Manticore is an original design Reaper (Crimson/Azure) is an original design Scorpion /Crimson Scorp is an original design Meanace (Dark/Crimson/Azure) is inspired by Darth Maul's Phantom Meanace saberstaff Raven is inspired by Galen Marek's TFUII Super Sith edition Sithstalker lightsaber The Guardian is inspired by Obiwan Kenobi's Phantom Meanace lightsaber The Malice is inspired by a sith lord, don't remember the name at this time The Mantis (Dark/Crimson/Azure) is an original design The Graflex is inspired by Anakin Skywalker's ROTS/ Luke's ANH lightsaber The Chosen One is inspired by Darth Vader's lightsaber The Omen is inspired by the Thundercat's Sword of Omens (Lion-O's sword) The Flamberge and v2 is an original design (loosely based on the upcoming TFA crossguard saber) The Renegade is an original design (an original crossguard saber with a lot of design elements) Am I missing any characters that should be mentioned here? Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: Drahcir on August 08, 2015, 06:00:48 AM You did a pretty good job, Here's my two cents.
I wouldn't say the Sentinal is inspired by Bastila's hilt. The emitters are too different, looks more original to me. In addition to those hilts, the Prophecy is a good approximation of Anakin's AOTC hilt. The Shock and Shock LE are Jedi Clan sabers. (Dark shock just being a color variation) I've heard others call the Arbiter a Obi Wan approximation. I'm not sure I agree, but food for thought. I always saw the Monarch as an original design. Malice is Darth Malgus. Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: Roband on August 08, 2015, 02:27:13 PM Thanks! so with your input, the list is currently:

Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: Darth Justicar on June 16, 2016, 05:36:38 PM I think the War Glaive is inspired by Jaesa Wilsaam's staff in SWTOR.
Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: JayMeezy on January 19, 2017, 12:42:06 AM I think this should be cleaned up, updated, and stickied. I was trying to figure this out as I was making my first order.
Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: Tai Chi Chuan Wijchen on November 11, 2019, 02:06:18 PM I made an update, but with my lack of knowledge about sabers, there are still a few 'holes'. So please feel free to update.

So we have a definiteve list now? Wow :-\ ;D Aeon/Dominix are all original designs Apprentice/ Dark Apprentice are (abreviated sentinels) original designs Arbiter/ Dark Arbiter is inspired by Obiwan Kenobi's/ old Ben Kenobi's AOTC/ROTS/ANH lightsaber Archon v2.1 and v3.1 are inspired by Luke Skywalker's ROTJ saber Bane is inspired by the SW comic books Darth Bane saber Bellicose is an original design Brood Guard inspired by Maris Brood's saber from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Butcher inspired by Darth revan's purple saber Catalyst/ Dark Catalyst is an original design Chosen One is inspired by Darth Vader's lightsaber Consular is inspired by Qui Gon Jin's Phantom Meanace saber Dominicide inspired by Exar Kun's saber Dorinian inspired by Plo Koon's saber Electrum Wind is inspired by Mace Windu Emperor's Hand inspired by Mara Jade's saber Fallen is inspired by Cal Kestis's lightsaber Flamberge is inpired by Kylo Ren's lightsaber Fulcrum is inspired bij Asoka Tano's first lightsaber Grand Master is inspired by Satele Shan's saberstaff Initiate & Dark Initiate are all original designs Liberator/ Dark Liberator are original designs Lost Gray is inspired bij Asoka Tano's shoto lightsaber Manticore is an original design Menace (Dark/Crimson/Azure) is inspired by Darth Maul's Phantom Meanace saberstaff Monarch/ Dark Monarch is an original design Overlord are original designs Prophecy/Dark Prophecy is inspired by Anakin Skywalker's AOTC hilt (the one destroyed in the Geonosis droid factory) Raven is inspired by Galen Marek's TFUII Super Sith edition Sithstalker lightsaber Reaper (Crimson/Azure) is an original design Renegade is an original design (an original crossguard saber with a lot of design elements) Savior inspired by Darth Revan's red saber Scorpion /Crimson Scorpion is an original design Sentinels are an original design Shock/Dark Shock are inspired on SWTOR Jedi Clan lightsabers Spectre is inspired by Kanan Jarrus' saber Standard Issue Battle Saber and Dark Standard issue are original designs The Graflex is inspired by Anakin Skywalker's ROTS/ Luke's ANH lightsaber The Guardian is inspired by Obiwan Kenobi's Phantom Meanace lightsaber The Malice is inspired by Darth Malgus' lightsaber The Mantis (Dark/Crimson/Azure) is an original design The Omen is inspired by the Thundercat's Sword of Omens (Lion-O's sword) War Glaive is an original design Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: Sakura No Kaze on November 15, 2019, 12:35:53 AM I would say the Mantis is loosely based on Dooku's saber.
Also, I don't care what Wookieepedia says, I'm reasonably sure that the Savior is Revan's purple jedi saber, and the Butcher is his red Sith saber. Because that makes a lot more sense. Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: TheDutchman on November 15, 2019, 03:39:21 AM Wow GREAT job EVERYONE who contributed to this!
Special thanks one and all :) Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers?

You're welcome.Special thanks one and all :) I would say the Mantis is loosely based on Dooku's saber. Seems like you and PshychoSith have something to discus about.Also, I don't care what Wookieepedia says, I'm reasonably sure that the Savior is Revan's purple jedi saber, and the Butcher is his red Sith saber.

I'm sorry but not the case. Even the new Black Series Jedi Revan that gamestop announced has him holding a purple Butcher. Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers?

[/quote,] Mantis is an original design based on everyone's desire for a curved saber. The emitter claw combo on the Scorpion is more Dooku inspired than the Mantis. In every illustration I have see on Revan's sabers the Savior was the shape of his red one and the Butcher matches his purple. Title: Re: Is there a definitive list of "inspired by" sabers? Post by: DarthProdigal on November 13, 2020, 05:33:24 AM Oh yea, EPIC, this takes out a lot of the guess work for building a collection of "classic" sabers. I'm mostly commenting just to keep a direct link handy. But, this is pretty sick. Just gotta choose an order to order them in now.
