Haha I can see where you're coming from but in all seriousness I can explain my theories on it a bit better if you like, though keep in mind it relies on the Jedi and Sith as they are in games like KOTOR and SWTOR, and not so much how they were portrayed in the movies. It mostly has to do with the force being un-aligned to morality, but instead light side and dark side are life vs. death, creation vs. destruction, pacifism vs aggression, or in other words just two highly powerful but equally opposed natural powers. Next, if you look at the Sith and Jedi oaths, you can see neither side is morally aligned either.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.                               
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Peace is a lie
There is only passion
Through passion there is strength
Through strength I gain power
Through power I gain victory
Through victory my chains are broken
The force shall set me free

As you can see, neither code says anything about love, compassion, cruelty, insanity, what have you. The Sith are not evil, and the Jedi are not good, but rather the Sith embody ever-presence and all-encompassing, while the Jedi embody ideas like nirvana, and pure balance through the lack of all influence, either internal or external. The Sith are a craving for all, supported by the forces of destruction, while the Jedi are a craving for lack of all, while being supported by the forces of creation...which in my opinion is why the Sith haven't taken over the entire galaxy, and the Jedi have never faded away into peaceful non-existence, the force won't let them.

But all in all, it comes down to the idea that a Sith can be benevolent and kind, while still wielding the darkside and embracing passion, just as a Jedi could be selfish and cruel while still keeping his emotions in balance and wielding the lightside...

Sorry, that went on for awhile...worst part is the theory goes deeper, but I need to be a tad drunk and talking to you face to face to fully explain it

Welcome WoodenKiwi, I think you'll like it here (considering the fact that you're already debating philosophically about the Force!)

Now back on topic please.

Hey guys! I figure I would post something here since there is no introduction post as well!
My name is Albert and I just recently started my hobby of collecting sabers, I own an Aeon v3 with arctic blue and obsidian sound. And I just bought a Consular green guardian with obsidian sound as well, I am fairly active in my area and I enjoy practicing choreographs with my fellow friends!
I look forward to talking and meeting with all of you!

Nice to meet you Albert, can I call you Phil?

Well Phil I'd like to see your sabers sometime; we love pictures here.

Hey everyone! I am trying to get back into saber collecting again, and decided I want more unique sabers this time, so Ultra Sabers came across my searches. I've checked out what you guys have and am looking forward to being able to get my first saber from you.

I've been a Star Wars fan as long as I can remember, and the thing that really cemented me to Star Wars fandom was the lightsaber, it's my favorite weapon of all time. In the past I collected a bunch of sabers. I had a number of Master Replica Force FX sabers (ROTJ Luke, Darth Maul, Mace Windu, Vader, Anakin), I had a bunch of hilts (Dooku, Sidious, Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Vader), and of course an innumerable amount of the toy lightsabers. But it all started for me back in '99 when I got my first toy saber for Qui Gon.

Unfortunately, times were hard, then I moved a few times, toys were broken, and then I got married. Now I am down to just a couple of my toy Hasbro sabers as I had to sell off my nicer ones in the past, but do still have a couple of the hilts of my first MR Force FX sabers.

Anyway, I'm glad to see a thriving community that are enthusiasts of the same thing I am, and look forward to being a saber carrying member of this community.

WELCOME!

One of my first sabers was a plastic collapsible Oui-Gon saber.

Feel free to ask questions, we like helping people decide on what to get; since it's kind of overwhelming.

Thanks! It is a bit overwhelming, but I think I am wanting to get a staff with sound. Currently looking between the Phantom Initiate V3 and the Phantom V3. I think I want the LE hilt, because from what I gather the groves in the hilt are then a different color, or what looks to be exposed metal. Can't tell for sure with these 2 sabers in the pictures in the store. I'm thinking of a green blade that flashes sun rider's destiny. I'm not sure what the pommel is all about, need to do some more research on that, but am getting a black coupler. Thinking about the UltraEdge Heavy Grade 36" for blades.

I don't really get the sound with switch option yet either. But, as stated, I'll need to do some more searching in the forums. Needless to say, I'm excited with my prospective saber, but any help is welcomed.

Noice, noice.

Yeah I don't have sound because I was apprehensive but I will soon send in one of my 25 to get sound in.

It's nice to not be the only spider on here anymore.

Spiders are like Sith, you never know when one might eat the other. So, please... don't eat me.

Excellent!  I'm sure you'll be very happy with it, the Dominix is a nice no-nonsense hilt that will look great in just about any color.  Beware, lightsaber collecting does have a certain addictive quality to it...

[Takanuva588]

haha ya im sure ill be getting many more sabers so me and my friends can use them.

[Stephen Strange]

Well hello all...

My name is Erik and I thought that it was time to tell something about myself. Even though I still have to order my first Ultrasaber (curse you... dutch taxes!).

I live in the Netherlands... I saw I wasn't the only dutch person here on the forums (honestly... we should make a meet & greet one day and have some saber fights on the beach next to my house). Growing up I remember seeing Star wars for the first time on tv. And I remember the first shot of a light saber as the coolest thing ever! I guess that image sticked for a looong time.

I went and did martial arts... a few years of Judo. Followed by Wing-chun kung-fu. My teacher at that time started to give weapon classes and I just had to do those courses. Dragon pole & Broad (butterfly) swords where the first, as those where the Wing-Chun weapons. But after that we went on with Sai, Nunchaku and Ton-fa... and of-course the Katana. Boken fight where pretty heavy hehe. It is years ago but I still have the weapons in house.

Over the years I stopped doing martial arts as I was a professional soldier and didn't had time to go to my old classes. When I turned civie again I found a new teacher and managed a few more years of training before I finally stopped due to long days at work etc.

At this time I visited fantasy fairs a few times a year. And during those small instructions given there in mid-evil swordfighting I noticed I still remembered the old lessons. It is strange though applying them to a sword for which the techniques where not meant to be. One of those fairs I did end up buying a real forced sword though. Quality stuff too. I guess in my weapons I just fall for the real quality. That is probably also the reason I never bought one of the Lord of the Rings replica swords.

Browsing the net my eye falls on the Master Replica swords... but at this time its 2012 and the stuff had passed me by for over 6 years. So I checked e-bay and found a shop selling some. That is when the saberbug bit me because it took a lot of effort not to order more then 3 whahahaha... The darth Vader, Darth Maul and Obi-Wan where cool. Very cool. But it sucked I couldn't really duel with them without having the chance of damaging a LED. And... I noticed that they where just too far filled with ornamental stuff to have a proper grip. Still happy with the swords as they looked I found myself checking reviews and idea's on sabers on teh net at work. And that is where I found Ultrasabers!

I am in the market for 2 or 3 sabers... planning a Sith and a Jedi one at least. I need a sparring partner in my GF. Because I haven't yet managed to get my collegues and friends Saber crazy so far.

Current idea's are (based on the tips on this forum and exstensive research during work)...
- Dark War Glaive elongated with Dark Catalyst Pommel (Blazing Red (orange/yellow FOC), Sound board, mid-grade, round tip, quick disconnect)
- Extra LED (Violet Amethyst (silver FOC), quick disconnect)
- Guardian with Dark War Glaive Pommel (Guardian Blue (silver FOC), Sound board, mid-grade Ultra Edge, round tip)

And I would love me a green blade too... choices, choices...

[Ultrimus Riot]

Would a 32 inch blade be light enough for a Dark initate hilt?
