Title: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 10, 2012, 02:11:23 AM So I received it at work on the 5th but have been soo busy I am just now getting around to posting pics. This is my first US saber but by far will not be my last. She is a BEAST!
SPECS: Raven with SS claws and SS pommel. Mid Grade Consular Green Blade. Green illuminated AV switch. Obsidian Sound. I am absolutely in love! A bid heavier than I expected but totally wieldable single handed and amazingly controllable with two.

Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 10, 2012, 02:28:33 AM Glad you like the pics!
Actually going to be using it in class tomorrow with the Golden Gate Knights. I will post a review after I have had a chance to put it through it's paces. :) Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Veldryne on June 10, 2012, 02:46:39 AM It looks great, it just seems an odd it choice to me for a jefi's weapon. Though I bet j
It would look great without the claws on. Or even just the one to keep some character. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 10, 2012, 03:05:00 AM I am no Jedi...
Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Solinus on June 10, 2012, 03:50:20 AM I am no Jedi... Dark side point to bring you back to true neutral! Good job on the pics. Never thought I'd see a CG Raven. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 10, 2012, 05:48:16 AM Thank you Solinus!
There is a story behind it. I will have to write it out sometime. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Solinus on June 10, 2012, 06:43:42 AM Story? Behind the whole "not being a Jedi" thing? Or behind the green Raven?
Wow.. just noticed something... when I type jedi with a lowercase "j", Google Chrome underlines it and says it's misspelled. When I type it with a capital "J" it is NOT underlined. The Force is strong with Google Chrome. ;D Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 10, 2012, 07:23:09 AM LOL I will have to switch to Chrome due to that fact alone.
The story of why "I" am not a Jedi is also the story of the green Raven. :) (All fiction of course, to explain why I have a Sithy hilt with a Jedi blade color.) Oh and just FYI, Safari does it too. Jedi = no correction. jedi = misspelled. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Solinus on June 10, 2012, 07:26:08 AM Oh and just FYI, Safari does it too. Jedi = no correction. jedi = misspelled. Safari?? That means you are on a Mac. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't give you a point and upset the balance? ;) Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 10, 2012, 07:28:52 AM Because, one day, you may need the services of a fallen Jedi turned mercenary and it might be helpful to get the "friends and family" discount. ;)
Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Solinus on June 10, 2012, 08:25:51 AM Touche... NO point for you! ;D
Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Zren Tobas on June 10, 2012, 05:49:00 PM I was going to say. A Raven as a Jedi's weapon? :P A Raven would look sick in Violet Amethyst though.

Mine looks awesome in VA. ========================== Point to Rabid for I think the first CG Raven I've ever seen; I think someone around here has one in SRD. Title: Re: Better late than never.

Post by: Viourr on June 12, 2012, 11:24:18 PM Wow.. just noticed something... when I type jedi with a lowercase "j", Google Chrome underlines it and says it's misspelled. When I type it with a capital "J" it is NOT underlined. The Force is strong with Google Chrome. ;D You'll notice that Jedi is considered to be a proper noun and needs to be capitalized, however Sith is not considered to be word at all and will be underlined regardless of capital or not. It's DISCRIMINATING I say!!! Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Kaiden Shardsbane on June 13, 2012, 12:35:14 AM Point to Rabid for I think the first CG Raven I've ever seen; I think someone around here has one in SRD. Hmm... first Consular Green only saber I've seen. And yeah, there was a SRD one a while back. I've got a RGB Raven though. I like the green. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis.

I like the green. Yeah... KrysTheSith has an RGB Raven as well. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Stockton on June 15, 2012, 10:20:18 AM I love a Sith hilt without the typical red!
Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: jmPlagueis on June 16, 2012, 08:45:50 AM Refreshing to see this in CG, with a beautiful AV to match!
point for a great choice. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: RabidFuzzle on June 16, 2012, 11:57:58 PM Thanks for the compliments, comments, and points! I love it and feel that the Sithy hilt with the green blade gives me just the neutral image I am looking for.
Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: KoolKenobi on June 19, 2012, 02:41:22 AM Wow, an evil-looking hilt with a green blade is truly cool.
Makes me wonder why they decided Sith only use red in the movies. Green can look very menacing. Title: Re: Better late than never. Meet Corvus Viridis. (Pic heavy?) Post by: Kaiden Shardsbane on June 19, 2012, 03:21:30 AM It was to tell them apart. There were originally only going to be two colors: Red and blue. Then someone decided that since Luke gets a new saber in ROTJ, it should be a new color. Then when the prequels were made, Georgy had to incorporate Samuel L. Jackson's
And if you happened to have read the original script, Georgy wanted to have Stormies using lightsabers too. And they were gonna be the same color (I think). Title: Re: Better late than never.
