dirty nub posted:Can't wait until they split the next 3 episodes into 6 movies and draw this poo poo out for a decade. Think of how many toys they could sell that way. They already announced there would be "side" movies about Boba Fett and the like. e: Fett specifically hasn't been confirmed but the fact that there are more movies has been.

The hilt blades on the light claymore would come in handy for pushing an opposing saber up and away when in a lock or when blocking, as is sometimes possible when fighting with real claymores. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1QM7DhBv1Y See: 1:50, 2:33, and at other points.

my knowledge of the EU is restricted to books I read when i was like 10-13 yrs old but i dont know how anyone could have expected that hodgepodge to be considered canon for new movies where they finally have a chance to cherry pick some talented people to work on the story and world

One goon already mentioned it, but wouldn't the enemy's sword be directed to the metal part and cut it off?

It's a lightsaber that can extend to 10 feet and be used as a giant lance or like Final Fantasy Sephiroth's sword thing. I just think it'd be cool to see it in action.

Except that a lightsaber has an all around edge, will instantly cut through anything and will thus rip cleanly through the two inches of metal. Frankly I do kind of hope they redesign the guard before the movie release. The worse part about it for me is the fact that it is clearly something that could be pragmatic with only a little bit of effort. For example, if you removed the top half of the cylinder on either side of the main hilt, you could have the 'guard' filling its function while keeping the same general aesthetic.

Dolphin posted:Not if the metal part is saber proof. It could be vibranium, which is saber resistant, but I doubt it, since usually sabers can, and do, get cut in half in Star Wars. However, it could be a unique saber constructed with special materials. If they redo the design, and I doubt they will, it could be made more apparently practical by diminishing the size of the side emitters so that the metal could be less easily cut were the side sabers to be used for their intended purpose.

Kikka posted:WHY NOT MAKE SABER PROOF STORMTROOPER ARMOR THEN According to the UE, lightsabers cans cut through ANYTHIIIIINNNGGG!!! Though I do think that in, uh, Tales of the Jedi comics? I think it was implied there that that mechanism and power settings on the lightsaber are more complex than it seems to the naked eye and that the cutting power comes from being precise and disciplined enough to be making subtle calibrations to the spectrum output/intensity/whatever technobabble while swinging it.

I thought it was interesting, you guys just seem way too worked up about me asking a simple question. I'm not worked up, I'm making entertainment for myself in the Star Wars thread. Sorry... didn't mean to come across as rude there. I am with George on this one, there's really no need to know what Yoda is. I guess if they wrote in a trip to his home planet or his brother in law shows up as a dark Jedi or something then they might go there. As it is we just know he's old as crap and that someone who looked kinda like him showed up in Phantom Menace in the Jedi council at one point, meaning every one of his race is obviously a powerful force user and I bet that girl Yoda stole the Death Star plans first while dressed in a bikini to lure the wily Boba Fett away from guarding Jar Jar Binks when he was captured trying to flee Darth Plageus during the battle of Yavin where Dash Rendar and Darth Kneesaber fought over which one of them had the better sword design. See, this is fun. Really fun.

I thought it was interesting, you guys just seem way too worked up about me asking a simple question. Are you suggesting that George Lucas has an answer to your question that he's withholding for some reason? Has it occurred to you that this entire universe is a made up figment of his imagination and that he is just pulling stuff out of his rear end? Do you understand that what you're asking him to do is simply say a nonsense word like "oh, he's a galbraith" and you'd respond with, "ohhhh ok, thanks for clearing up 40 years of doubt for me George" as though his made up word/species has any bearing on absolutely anything beyond your own obsessive desire to know every made up fact about a made up universe? Do you realize that you sound like an insane person who can't distinguish fantasy from reality?

Polo-Rican posted:It's fun seeing spaceships and lightsabers but all that really matters is the acting. Episodes 1-3 are crazy because not a single actor conveys a single emotion throughout the three films. Everything is so god drat flat. In contrast, everyone in episodes 4-6 seem to be having a lot of fun, and the feeling is contagious. This is what I care about, really, but the (three) people in that trailer looked to be emoting more than most of the actors in the prequels, so they seem to be on the right track.

e X posted:Why are people angry again that all the old EU stuff got thrown out? There's a LOT of really lovely EU stuff, but there's nuggets of good stuff in there too. Also some really weird stuff that never goes anywhere (like before the PT was a thing there was a book where Luke was trying to find his mother and she turned out to be a practicioner of a different Force discipline, it was something about a white wave I don't quite remember; kind of out there but neat little universe fluff) except to flesh out the universe. It always struck me as simplistic that the only way people tapped into the Force was by codified Jedi/Sith teachings, there really should be a bunch of different Force-using belief systems out there since the universe is so big.
