True thing

@dagoat124 he talks about it in a Graham Norton interview. That's the one that comes to mind but I'm sure there are other interviews as well

@@PokemonDork2024 oh ok thx

HE IS LE BADASS. Btw he covered it to keep it kid-friendly

My disappointment was immeasurable, and my day was ruined.

I’m disappointed that Cals lightsaber takes 2-4 hits to kill a trooper

@@scottedwards3403 That's just gameplay mechanics

There is no single canonical look for Cal's saber, it's an intentionally modular design; it shows off both his skill as an engineer and his adaptability as a lightsaber combatant

@@pokeyscorpion8224 I was going of the idea where in Fallen Order if you don’t edit the lightsaber at all then it will end up as half Jaro Tapal and half Cere Junda. Also in all the trailers and stuff Cal always has the Jaro Tapal lightsaber so that might be the most canon lightsaber Cal has.

@@damianwolfe613 The player customization obviously isn't canon, but his lightsaber is still modular regardless and thus has no single canon appearance

@@pokeyscorpion8224 Fair enough. But we can still agree that Cal probably has the most versatile lightsaber ever with the Single Blade, Two Sabers, Crossguard, and Saber Staff modes right?

@@damianwolfe613 that's exactly what I've been saying

It could also be carried around much more openly, as its design was much closer to a blaster than a Lightsaber. Granted once he got some notoriety with the empire that benefit was pointless, but he could literally have his lightsaber on his waist, out in the open, and your average stormtrooper or even inquisitor wouldn't even realize its a lightsaber. It was much better for use as a lightsaber in a time of Jedi oppression because of this.

From the perspective of the old Jedi order, it would still be a useful design. One of the big issues with a lightsaber is that the only option is to either kill or permanently maim your opponent unless they surrender. _Lightsabers dont have a stun setting._ A stun blaster would be so useful for the day to day field work of a Jedi..., and it's merciful. As well as being able to stun fleeing suspects during an investigation. Pragmatic Jedi should have carried a stun blaster in their off hand. And another advantage, stun bolts can't be reflected back by another lightsaber wielder.

i was kind of hoping cal would add a similar mod to his lightsaber in survivor

@@johnnysalami7813I don’t think he would do that since he already has a blaster

That 1's probably just game play reasons but that would be a hilarious addition

Cal's lightsaber is awesome, the modular design really shows how skilled of an engineer he is

It's safe to say this guy doesn't play the games since Cal's saber was excluded.

I am hoping we get some other odd designs in season 2, I think the Twin (no spoilers) will craft something interesting now that she has her own saber. would love to see her craft a whip too then we can get a whip fight... could be amazing

Nah not on Disneys watch you don't get anything good.

yes! they implied that they were what remained of luke's former students and then disney just resorted to using them as cannon fodder.

Still hoping one day some writer can redeem the Knights of Ren by writing a great novel about them to expand on the lore outside of the Sequels. Same with Rey.

One thing I would change on the cross guard would be to have the exhaust energy be released slightly upward to decrease the chance of harming oneself

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if this was recorded before the acolyte

Samuel: 😎

Yea, but them being locked together for a saber-staff is one of the most unrealistic and foolish weapon designs in Star Wars. This is an exceptionally useful and effective mechanic for straight-handle weapons, but for curved handles, absolutely not. Might be the single most anti-effective weapon design in Star Wars' entire history. And I say "anti" effective rather than "in" effective because, not only would it not give any benefit, it would actively hinder the user to an extreme. I've thought about this before, as a 1st degree black belt in HaiDong Gumbo (Korean Swordart) and 3rd in TaeKwon Do, ever since I first saw it. Even considering the Force, the design is so awful and physically detrimental to the wielder, no Force ability is going to even that out, let alone make it into an advantage. B But again, the IDEA is great. It just has to be with non-curved hilts. My Grandmaster has two Ninjitsu Battleswords (which have a blade and hilt exactly like a katana, but with no curve to the blade. Single edge, very shap, with an extremely firm tang, and the traditional cord-wrapped hilts), that are identical twins and are designed to be able to quickly twist and snap their hilts together, creating a dual-blade/ staff. The hilts are both somewhat long, about a hand-and-a-half each, which I prefer, and when attached, they create a pretty long middle grip to allow for a lot of hand and form adjustments and leverages, as well as opening up more Bo Staff based techniques. Also, they can lock together two different ways: with the blades facing opposite directions, which is the usual choice, or with both facing same direction, which is more niche use. He's allowed me to train with it and borrow it since I was a teenage girl, and besides the WuShu Spear/ Bo Staff, it's definitely the weapon I'm most talented with. I can spin it just like a staff, as fast and flexibibly as a baton twirler, around my back, over head, thrown in air and caught, etc. I LOVE it. Wish I could get one for myself, but they're custum built by Mushashi family and over $12,000 each. It's fun to disconnect them amidst combat or forms, as well, and return to dual wielding. So this is one topic I really know a lot about. Ventriss' hilts are unrealistic even for fantasy to be attached like that. Still cool to look at, though! :)

@@JadusMoltriel I think the team on the show thought it was dumb too as her sabers only connect once in the Clone Wars movie. Though would it be as bad as the intentionally bad Inquisitor sabers?

@@ShinyHunterCel I'd take the Inquisitor weapon over Ventriss' any day if Ventriss' had to be attached as a double-blades weapon. THAT's how bad that handle would be. Now, if I could keep them separate, as two blades with curved hilts, I'd chose them over Inq weapon, of course.

Add darth malgus’s to the list

@@bruticus1496 also Exar Kun’s and the Shadow Guard

Probably means you see the length change on screen mid duel maybe like it’s shorter at first but then gets longer kinda like how we just got kyber crystals bleeding on screen despite it being a thing for years.

Where?

@@AarayKyramud one of the luke duels I would have to go see which one but I remember his blade getting way longer at one point

she definitely had it and trained with it, but did she wield it in combat? I can't remember, the others all definitely used it in combat with an enemy

@@mattyt1961Yes, sabine did use it in combat a few times. Particularly in the first few episodes of season 4

@@MrPotatoPig yes, maybe that is because she only wielded it for a short time that redfive didn't mention her. Also, she is the only one, that we know, to have gifted it, instead of losing a fight. And, if i remember right, she found it while she was possessed at Dathomir, or i might be confusing two different things

@@mattyt1961 Sabine dueled Gar Saxon when she had returned to her family's home to try to convince her mother to have Clan Wren join the Rebellion. Sabine of course won the duel; however, she did not kill Gar Saxon, Sabine's mother did. (edit add:) Sabine also wielded the Dark Saber during the operations to free her father from Imperial imprisonment.

@@nagnacamo25 Ezra actually found it, sort of, when Darth Maul brought him to Dathomir and pointed out the saber to Ezra. The Dark Saber did end up in Sabine's possession just after the events of she and Kanan being possessed by Night Witches.

Lol, it's not a battle-axe. The hilt has a similar visual aessthetic to a battle-axe design, but it doesn't actually function as one. It's just a large hilt lightsaber with vertical guard fans. Definitely cool to look at, and likely an excellent design for comabt, though. There are a few cool hilts with spikes or protruding guards going along the blade. One of Darth Revan's hilts, one of Starkiller's hilts (he has two sick hilts, the other shows the crystal), and Darth Talon's Vong material kinda has spikes. More like claws, I guess.

That’s one of my favorite simply because of how unique it is

@@Darth_Bya i love it too hes like kinda like yoda and his saber is so unique
