That Gantros (sp?) guy and a few othe Jedi had extendo-lightsabers in I Jedi and the Jedi Search trilogy, that could be what your thinking of? Seemed like a pretty ridiculous idea,what better than a normal lightsaber? Of course! A BIGGER lightsaber! Maybe they just need to say stuff it, get me a light-broadsword!

One of the Darth Bane books has a jedi in it that uses a double-bladed lightsaber that measures 3 meters long. That being said, it also mentioned that he was a huge man, so he could probably handle it. Not A Bear posted:Of course! A BIGGER lightsaber!

Weaker than you know. Taste my light-cleaver!" Bonerus screamed. His scream shook the walls and he lunged. Luke parried the slicing axe with his polearm and force-pushed Bonerus into the Sarlaac's gaping maw. I didn't want to do that, he thought as he boarded his X-wing. R2 twittered inquisitively. "Yeah, I'm all right. Thanks. Let's head back to Mos Eisley and see if we can find Han's contact. I have a feeling we're close." R2 beeped excitedly. Luke laughed. "I can't wait to get my hands on the light-condoms either," he said as the repulsorlifts whined into action.

I think it was in one of the Jedi academy books where a student gets corrupted by the ghost of Darth Bane or some other dark lord. He could make his saber change colors and go extra long like that.

Yup, I remember there was some sort of "phase change" lightsaber in the Jedi Academy novels where some dude (I think the name was Gantoris, thanks Not a Bear) fought Luke with a super-advanced "twist handle=realign magic crystals=extendo-saber" before Luke kicked his rear end.

Exar Kun's lightsaber in the Tales of the Jedi comics (the original double-bladed lightsaber) had the ability to both extend/shorten the blades, as well as to have the blades lose their "substance" so that they were nothing more substantial than light, so an opponent would be thrown off-balance when meeting no resistance to a swing.

Be careful who you're pointing at with these! (They are pretty neat)Markoff Chaney posted:Kinda. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightclub NeonTurtle posted:Light-Claymore These are pretty stupid, but at least you could argue that a longer lightsaber is useful because of the reach. A light-mace would be dumb because, as far as I know, a mace is dangerous because it's used to club people's heads in with a heavy object. Making it a lazer-weapon would take away the weight and just make it like any other light-weapon.

If you don't annoy friends and family with prods to the sides or back with said fingers and make the lightsaber sound every now and then you aren't using those things right man. Do it. Like right now.

I have been away from this thread too long. Finally acquired a complete paperback collection of the X-Wing books. I keep whichever one I'm on in the bathroom and slowly make my way through...carefully controlled doses of awesome.

I've been married 9 years and my wife has never seen/read Star Wars, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, or Indiana Jones. I keep telling myself that when our relationship stagnates, I can show them to her to get a spark. Also, I want her to see the original cut of the OT.

movax posted:From a few pages back: thrawn527, you married your wife whilst she had never seen Star Wars? This is true. She's never liked sci-fi, so I just never cared to show them to her. Hell, she doesn't show me (too many) period romances I won't like, so it seems fair. Every once in a while she'll try one (she saw all 3 Lord of the Rings movies in the theater with me while we were dating, and watched the first two extended editions when I got them on DVD. She did not enjoy those at all.), but normally she doesn't like them. One day recently I figured that now was the time to finally show them to her, and she really enjoyed them. In a "I didn't know sci-fi could be fun" kind of way. Then, feeling daring after that, I showed her the miniseries for BSG. She loves that and we've burned through those. It seems she didn't like sci-fi because she had only tried crappy sci-fi. Moral of the story: don't assume you're wife won't like something you like. Give it a shot every once in a while.

I keep telling myself that when our relationship stagnates, I can show them to her to get a spark. Also, I want her to see the original cut of the OT. This is what I did. I showed her the originals that look lovely on the DVD releases that are currently out. I told her, "These won't look all that great, but they didn't look all that great when I was watching them on VHS when I was a kid for the millionth time. So you're seeing them the way I saw them and fell in love with them." She seemed to appreciate the romanticism associated with that. Also, yeah, Indiana Jones was something I showed to her not too long before I showed her Star Wars. Her liking those was one of the reasons I decided to show her Star Wars. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 16:18 on May 12, 2011 |

"Wookiepedia posted:After Greedo's death, Wuher and his new droid companion, C2-R4, claimed the bounty hunter's body and ground it up into a powerful liqueur. All that remained of Greedo afterward was his head, which Wuher (having taken a dislike to Greedo while he was still alive) impaled on a spike. Following this, the head was apparently taken by someone who had known him in life. Greedo received a funeral that was attended by some of his fellow bounty hunters. I don't even know what to say.
