I really like the blaster saber, like why chose one or the other when it can be both? Shoot far away enemies, be "unsportsmanlike" and trick your enemies into getting shot in the foot while they are in a saber lock (meaning your foes need to be smart taking you down without getting shot)

Something to remember is that the Inquisitors had the spinning function in their hilts to compensate for their lack of skill with their weapons, which was caused by them never recieving true, full Sith training
To be honest, it would be cool to see the spinning blade feature being used by someone as skilled with a double bladed saber like Darth Maul using their skills with the spinning feature at the same time
If you don't kill your enemy on the first attack you'll probably have a bad time trying to bring it back to attack again or defend, both ways you'll be death or defeated and probably without a limb on a short time because a normal jedi would disarm and a sith would go for the head
Fr Lumiya's plan was basically to overwhelm the enemy with a sky of lightsaber noodles and hope that they can't launch a counter defense - or have a second blade..
I would say I'd go for a double bladed lightsaber like Cal Kestis, that way you can easily switch between single blade, double blade, or two sabers. To me it just feels like the best option, switching between them during combat would likely throw an enemy off as it would be harder to predict.
I somewhat disagree with the assessment that dual blade sabres required a more aggressive style. They are basically a staff, and as a moderately trained staff wielder myself, it is difficult to go on the offensive if your hands cannot travel the full length of the staff. The staff is however perfectly suited to defense, and even without much training, a staff user can put up a formidable defense against most opponents. I personally think of the saber staff as being more suited to a defensive style like Soresu, than to an aggressive style like Juuyo.
The middle of the double bladed lightsaber can be cut through by another lightsaber I think so defence would have to be done with the blade so defending with a double bladed lightsaber might be harder.
@@nebnebit4303 Possibly true. But I do think that the double bladed saber is at a major disadvantage on the offensive even against single blades as if you know where one blade is you know where the other blade is.Maybe best for blaster defense?
I myself use a duel blade saber and when I'm dueling if I'm not going fast and aggressive it can leave me open. Fast and aggressive overwhelms your opponent into making mistakes.
@@SithOfTheNorth True, yet my point about knowing where both blades are based on where one is still stands correct? And the fast and aggressive thing works with any weapon, not just the dual blade saber. Used to do that kind of thing all the time with one blade against sword and board users.
I agree with what you're saying. In the Bane trilogy Darth Zannah used a double blade and it talks about how she would use it defensively and would wait for and opening to strike when the opponent was tired.
I never understood the thought process behind making the lightsabers into helicopters. Honestly feels like the goofiest and most out of place thing in the whole series whenever they do it.
There were attempts to explain it with some mumbojumbo about how it propelled them forward because of the superheated air since the blades aren't shaped like helicopter blades, but I agree: they look silly as hell.
I was fine with the Inquisitor lightsabers right up until I saw they could fly with them. The idea of mixing Darth Maul’s saber with General Grievous’ spinning technique was cool to me... and then they flew which was just a bit too far.
I think the three most practical of the lightsabers are the pikes, crossguards, and Ezra’s first lightsaber. But I think the three coolest are the double-bladed, the crossguard, and Obi-WAN’s lightsaber because he’s the most civilized being in the galaxy.
I think double bladed are practical, they would just take way more training irl. Double bladed weapons exist in history and were effective, but it being a lightsaber that can kill you when you touch it can't help. Crossguard probably wouldn't be effective, the lightsaber blade is just as heavy as any, so the guard weighs it down, it constricts wrist movement, with real great swords, your hand naturally hits the guard, with this lightsaber you have to be careful not to chops your arm off
@@bluefalcon6356 Someone who knew anything about European swords would never use the term "great sword." Besides, the blade of a lightsaber is weightless (except when using certain crystals), and there are several ways to create a more usable crossguard, such as the case of Stellan Gios. Throughout history, however, double-ended swords were unfavorable because they required much more extensive training than most other weapons. They were also more expensive to produce. They are dangerous and ineffective because of the two extra blades on the opposite end. It requires two hands to use, and only has the advantage of four long blades, but is still better used as a spear, which is cheaper to produce and easier to use.
@@generaljesus9825 all I was saying is I find kylo rens cross guard pretty unreliable. Cross guards already to an extent restrict wrist movement, and usually your wrist would hit the guard plenty.

@@bluefalcon6356 Crossguards do not restrict wrist movement at all. And if your wrist is hitting the guard, I think you may be grabbing the wrong part of the sword.
they could be setting that up for sure who knows, but as of now i dont think thats right, beskar just takes alot of physical effort and concentrated attacks to break, but supposedly any lightsaber can cut through it. Ahsoka was probably pulling her throws for one, but also her attack style is quick multiple light attacks that on anything else would decimate, but thats literally the one weakness against beskar, strikes need to be slow and forceful not light and quick. think of qui gon melting the door locks in ep 1
@@fessy4 movie cannon is the same in regards to lightsabers. The mass of a lightsaber Is all in the hilt, the actual blade is made of plasma so while it technically has mass, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the mass of plasma and the mass of literally nothing. Lightsabers do not rely on physical strength to do damage, they rely on heat. Swinging a lightsaber faster or harder will not effect how hot it is, just pressing the blade against the metal and holding it there would work better then swinging at it. normal lightsabers do not burn hot enough to melt beskar by the way, only weaken it if held in contact for extended periods of time
My fave is probably the style used by Cal Kestus. By litterally putting two sabers together a d using two Khyber Crystals he had a super versatile weapon capable of a powerful single blade, a double blade, or a pair of sabers. Though my All time FAVE Lazer Blade in fiction belongs to Zero, during the Megaman Zero games, who used tons of attachments and modifications he could swap on the fly for a wide variety of weapon choices. Sword, Shield, rods, chains, tonfa, he could even slot it into his Buster Shot to power up bullets and add Chargeing attacks for more ranged options.

The dark saber I've always thought was so damn cool, and the noise it makes, just makes the blade even better, I heard it's quite powerful too so it's my ideal saber.
Darth Zannah who was trained by Darth Bane. To use a doublebladed lightsaber used one with shorter blades because of her short stature. so she could maneuver and block easier. She was trained in form 3 Soresu. Because of that bane said her defense was impenetrable. For as long as she had stamina. She would block anything. Than counter attack. Never offense first against another saber user of equal or slightly less skill. It’s a great example of a sith using defense instead of offense in lightsaber duels.
Honestly, my favorite lightsaber would be the parasol saber, because if you think about it not only could it be incredibly useful by spinning it around fast to block attacks and for unconventional combat, but it could also be great to disguise it to launch a surprise attack, and the fact that it can be turned into a regular lightsaber is great too, imagine if that singular lightsaber could turn into a double bladed lightsaber, so many blades…
How do you attack at all though? The only way to carry it ignited without damaging yourself or the surface you're walking on is only overhand, well, like an umbrella. All you could do is like poke and nudge with the leading edges.
I would say Ahsoka's Shoto Sabers and her Stance are probably my favorite style overall. I love how her Sabers changed and grew with her. She has vastly different sabers in her older age than they were at the start of the Clone Wars. They are longer and thinner blades, and the hilts are dramatically different as well.
I really think that the concept of the flicker-phase lightsaber is super interesting if used by a drunken lightsaber wielder. The unpredictability of drunken fighting styles mixed with a saber that is just as unpredictable on its own would make for some really funny fighting. I dont know I never really watched star wars but this idea seemed kinda cool
its very good at suprising opponents. For example if you try to parry a lightsaber and your flicker-phase lightsaber switches off your opponent will be very suprised that you have been cut in two
@@captainjames4649 And the canon involves a giant metal ball that fires a planet-destroying death beam, destroyed by a bunch of ragtag friends who fire a missile into the exhaust port while flying in a ship travelling 9 million times the speed of light, one of which uses a super special ancient samurai technique from a long-dead space religion involving telekinesis and mindreading while wielding a magic laser sword to duel against a seven-foot-tall cyborg and his master, an 80-year-old man who shoots lightning from his hands. Yeah, the canon wasn’t based in reality either.
I can’t stress enough how much we need a proper AAA Star Wars rpg with multiple choices of which path to follow. And in depth lightsaber customisation, where you have to go and explore properly to find certain crystals and components.
You know how the new girl in the new star war trilogy? How she's been using a staff her whole life and then suddenly got good at using a regular light saber and being self thought? It would have made more sense if he used a dual bladed saber as it's more a kin to a staff and would makes sense in her skill of weilding it and not just "Oh she was one with the force that's why she's so good"
My dream saber follows Shadiversity's theory of the Stick. It's outward (deactivated) appearance would be that of a wooden staff slightly longer than the pike. Usable as a walking stick, or for not lethal force but within this "wooden" staff is a beskar pipe housing twin sabers emitting a 9 inch blades from each end and an extra large central battery, for when lethal force is necessary. Backed up with a utilitarian and/or stealthy lightdagger
You should have talked about more of the lightsaber variants from Visions. As wildly impractical as many of them were, they still had some pretty cool properties.
Having used it in blade and sorcery, Ezra's blaster lightsaber is by far my favourite. You only need one shot after a good parry to knock an enemy off their guard or kill them outright. Granted the ai in blade and sorcery arent designed to block blaster bolts but I believe it could surprise any sith or jedi who wasnt expecting it.
The lightsaber pike(like what Kazdan and Shadow Guards use) and shoto guard sabers have been my favorite for years now. Love the unique designs and combat style along side them.
I have a unique saber idea. It's inspired by the Halo energy sword. It's a duel blade where the blades point inwards to each other. Making an arrowhead shape. I'm calling it Dathomirs Redeemer. My OC, Ruthless Zunro, has this saber with a purple crystal.
Great video, I'm a instant fan and hope you can keep making these kinds of videos about any kind of lore. I'm sure if you knew this or not but mauls was unique in the fact that his saber (sabers) was actually made with twin crystals. That's why it still works when it was cut in half. Basically regular sabers welded together in the middle or something like that to keep them connected. Which was a brilliant idea seeing how he knew that it would be the primary target of the 2 jedi since it is considered a serious vulnerability of the double blade.
You know I felt kind of silly when I came up with the Lighthook (Lightsaber grappling hook) But after seeing the Lightaxe, Lightsickle, and Light PARASOL, I think my Lighthook is pretty good-
I once invented my own type called the double bladed cross guard which combines the agressive nature of the basic double bladed light saber and the opponent restrictions of the cross guard the uniqueness of my version is that it have different colours depending on the segment allowing the user to use both sides of the force at the same exact time
The lightwhip would have to win an award for worst weapon design. As if a regular whip isn't already impractical enough as a weapon, making it out of something that can maim or kill even with a light touch is a virtually guaranteed way to kill the weapon's wielder.
To be fair, if you were trained in using the lightwhip, it could be a very efficient weapon, and if you were to be disarmed, your enemy likely wouldn't pick up you weapon, so you could retrieve it.
that's for normal people though, we're talking about a force-sensitive who could use the force to affect the blade and how it travels. you're also not taking into account how with a normal whip, the only damaging part is the tip at max range while the lightsaber whip could kill/maim at any range. with enough specialized training, it can be one of the most deadly weapons in the universe. even in combat against other lightsaber wielders too, as you can get your whip around their lightsaber and yank it out of their grasp, but if they tried using your lightsaber, they likely wouldn't know how. i see where you're coming from though :)
Thank you for sharing so much Passion and Joy about Star Wars!!! You are all Beautiful people and you make the Galaxy brighter everyday!! May the Fourth be with you Always, my friend!
Are there 2 of you that overlap talking? Sound like someone is blending the same text with 2 voices. I was just curious. Anyway keep it up. Lovely content!
Ever since I was a little kid i have been fascinated by lightsabers especially Ahsoka Tano's Fulcrum sabers (after starwars rebells). I find the story behind the white color super cool, interesting and very unique.
Isn't Warb Null's lightsaber a dual phase? I don't know if they show up in canon but in legends there were many users of dual phase lightsabers that changed colour, they usually changed size as well like Corran Horn's silver and purple
@@magnawaves Inflection absolutely is important to presenting well, but this is an example of someone who isn't self-aware enough to understand they aren't doing it well. Done wrong, inflection is as bad as a monotone delivery.
My top three are dookus curved hilt because of it's comfortable shape and ease of wielding in a duel, Kylo's cross guard due to it's look and feel not to mention how intimidating it was,and revans just from the iconic legacy man who wielded it in fact I have revans it costed me almost 200$ but it's so cool
I love Ezra's first lightsaber. I understand that it's not very Jedi-like but it's unique and fun to watch someone use. It would have been cool to see Ezra get really good with it.
Not all modern lightsabers can be thrown like you describe it. Similar to the double phase saber a lightsaber needs to be customised to be able to throw it by making a lockable activation switch (Anakin had one for example) when used the lightsaber would always stay on until the button is pressed again. However as this can become dangerous to the wielder most Jedi use a contact switch which is the reason why lightsaber auto deactivate when they get unarmed as to not hurt the wielder should he lose grip on his blade (as seen in many fights like the fight of Obi-Wan against Jango)
Not gonna lie, a lightsaber axe with a handle made from beskar or some other lightsaber-resistant material would be badass, and maybe even my weapon of choice
Bought a saber from this guy, 10/10 I highly recommend. Customer service is fantastic. The saber came in wonderful condition and easy to use. I will definitely be getting another one.
My favorite lightsaber was the Darksaber, it has a huge history and was first made by a Jedi. But this lightsaber became incredibly famous and if you have it together with the right requirements then you can lead the Mandalorian Tribes to victory. It was incredibly special besides being my personal favorite and it was also owned by Darth Maul as his secundaire lightsaber.
personally, because i use so many lightsabers at once, i prefer to go with either regular lightsabers or inexpensive variations like double bladed lightsabers. it's just super expensive and impractical to have 50-70 ultra-expensive lightsabers at a time.
This is the first of your videos that I've seen, and you've earned a like, subscribe, and my respect as a star wars fan. The sheer completeness of your source material exposure and the impecibility of your analysis are clear. I trust you to remind me of what I've read and seen in the past.
While the lightsaber pistol would likely be more effective, it is far inferior to most other lightsaber variants as it is uncivilized, thus negating a main function of a lightsaber as a more civilized weapon. Great video though! Definitely subscribing to the channel now and honestly should have sooner
Fun fact in Canon about the dark saber it's considered a broadside saber which was not like the lot by the Jedi or the sith considering it was also considered not very sportsman but they did recognize how powerful and useful it was
Ezra's first lightsaber would be so practical. I'm kinda upset that the characters don't use the gun part of it up close, to create an opening. Like, if you get stuck in a bind with the opponent, you could just stun them and win the fight.
Ezra: *Shoots a stun bolt at an Inquisitor mid-saber lock* Inquisitor: That's not very honorable! Ezra: Yes, but counterpoint: you're a fascist. Inquisitor: And that gives you the right to pull cheap shots mid-fight?! Ezra: In every conceivable way. Inquisitor: Oh- Ezra: *Shoots the Inquisitor in the face with a stun bolt*
I know technically Corran Horns light saber can be considered the same as Vader's but I think the uniqueness of it should have made it prime for this video. His dual phase lightsaber with the twist hilt to change out the crystal was far cooler then Vader's. At one length the blade was purple and at the other the blade turned silver and grew ALOT. That to me is an awesome lightsaber. YES I KNOW!!! I'M A STARWARS GEEK!!!!
I love the first time he used it in I, Jedi. The image of abject failure because of a faulty crystal, followed by absorbing the energy of the explosion to save himself and send a message, only to find out moments later that he saved himself.... but not his clothes.
Imagine a saber with a slightly longer length hilt with 4 crystals inside, 3 on one side and 1 on the other. The primary side has a standard length blade and a short blade as well as a light whip. You would only attack rarely with the whip and if the surprise failed to kill them than use the standard blade. On the other side would be a slightly shorter blade mostly used for defence if they go for a low blow. Pop it on to block and than turn it off again. I would have this and a blaster on my belt.
I just found this channel and I’ve subscribed straight away. I can’t wait for your Lightsaber Crystals video, you should cover all the crystals from the Knights of the Old Republic games, there are some cool and unique ones in those games.
It wouldn't work AT ALL for Star Wars. A katana is such a specific blade type that's obviously a callback to ancient human history, and they want to avoid that to make it seem like another world. Plus it'd honestly look cheesy as f***. Katanas are cool, but a lightsaber katana would be ultimate cringe.
I actually never knew there were so many different types of Sabres out there! Awesome! Also, the fact that there was actually one that cut through Mandolorian Veskar Armor is absolutely TERRIFYING! O_O

15:25 yeah, I prefer Ezra’s first saber, didn’t seem like there was any downside to having it attached as far as I know
I agree. Ezra’s first lightsaber is better than most others, and is one of my personal favorites.
Perhaps the extra weight was not worth it, although i too prefer it.
It was uncivilised
@@sir.mellybohum8210 that Is a bs reason
@@batmanfan2005 it shouldn’t have been THAT heavy. Almost all Lightsabers are lightweight anyway, so the weight shouldn’t be anything concerning.
The dark saber I've always thought was so damn cool, and the noise it makes, just makes the blade even better, I heard it's quite powerful too so it's my ideal saber.
& it's the name of my weiner
Darth Zannah who was trained by Darth Bane. To use a doublebladed lightsaber used one with shorter blades because of her short stature. so she could maneuver and block easier. She was trained in form 3 Soresu. Because of that bane said her defense was impenetrable. For as long as she had stamina. She would block anything. Than counter attack. Never offense first against another saber user of equal or slightly less skill. It’s a great example of a sith using defense instead of offense in lightsaber duels.
Honestly, my favorite lightsaber would be the parasol saber, because if you think about it not only could it be incredibly useful by spinning it around fast to block attacks and for unconventional combat, but it could also be great to disguise it to launch a surprise attack, and the fact that it can be turned into a regular lightsaber is great too, imagine if that singular lightsaber could turn into a double bladed lightsaber, so many blades…
I like it because you essentially have Darth Mary Poppins and I find that funny
@@faultyfilter5747 “darth Mary poppins” 😭😭
How do you attack at all though? The only way to carry it ignited without damaging yourself or the surface you're walking on is only overhand, well, like an umbrella. All you could do is like poke and nudge with the leading edges.
I would say Ahsoka's Shoto Sabers and her Stance are probably my favorite style overall. I love how her Sabers changed and grew with her. She has vastly different sabers in her older age than they were at the start of the Clone Wars. They are longer and thinner blades, and the hilts are dramatically different as well.
I really think that the concept of the flicker-phase lightsaber is super interesting if used by a drunken lightsaber wielder. The unpredictability of drunken fighting styles mixed with a saber that is just as unpredictable on its own would make for some really funny fighting. I dont know I never really watched star wars but this idea seemed kinda cool
its very good at suprising opponents. For example if you try to parry a lightsaber and your flicker-phase lightsaber switches off your opponent will be very suprised that you have been cut in two

@@captainjames4649 And the canon involves a giant metal ball that fires a planet-destroying death beam, destroyed by a bunch of ragtag friends who fire a missile into the exhaust port while flying in a ship travelling 9 million times the speed of light, one of which uses a super special ancient samurai technique from a long-dead space religion involving telekinesis and mindreading while wielding a magic laser sword to duel against a seven-foot-tall cyborg and his master, an 80-year-old man who shoots lightning from his hands. Yeah, the canon wasn’t based in reality either.
You didn’t include phineas and ferbs lightsabers. Unbelievable
I can’t stress enough how much we need a proper AAA Star Wars rpg with multiple choices of which path to follow. And in depth lightsaber customisation, where you have to go and explore properly to find certain crystals and components.
So like TFU and Fallen Order combined?
So... Kotor?

The lightsaber with the curved hilt would be my go to weapon, especially against Inquisitors.
Mine would be single hilt with angled cross guard, that could extend into a spear and back. The hilt extends, rather than the blade.
100% agree with your assessment of Ezra's saber. I think it is a distinct and cool weapon that kind of just got discarded for... reasons I guess?
Now THAT is how you do a sponsor segment. You choose a product that basically everyone watching the video will want
You know how the new girl in the new star war trilogy? How she's been using a staff her whole life and then suddenly got good at using a regular light saber and being self thought? It would have made more sense if he used a dual bladed saber as it's more a kin to a staff and would makes sense in her skill of weilding it and not just "Oh she was one with the force that's why she's so good"
I love all your content mate, on all your channels. Keep making amazing videos!!
My dream saber follows Shadiversity's theory of the Stick. It's outward (deactivated) appearance would be that of a wooden staff slightly longer than the pike. Usable as a walking stick, or for not lethal force
but within this "wooden" staff is a beskar pipe housing twin sabers emitting a 9 inch blades from each end and an extra large central battery, for when lethal force is necessary.
Backed up with a utilitarian and/or stealthy lightdagger
I have always liked how Exar Kun adapt his lightsaber for every enemy, single, double, the lenght, certainly a true warrior
You should have talked about more of the lightsaber variants from Visions. As wildly impractical as many of them were, they still had some pretty cool properties.
"Rey Palpatine"
Thank God He's not one of those Guys saying Rey is a Skywalker
I prefer just Rey myself
Yeah, can’t believe that bastard stole Luke’s lightsaber, x wing, home, and fucking last name
I've always liked the idea of a double bladed lightsabor where the 2 blade lengths could be adjusted as needed. As well as separated into 2 blades.
I'm pretty sure you just described Exar Kun's lightsaber.
Having used it in blade and sorcery, Ezra's blaster lightsaber is by far my favourite. You only need one shot after a good parry to knock an enemy off their guard or kill them outright. Granted the ai in blade and sorcery arent designed to block blaster bolts but I believe it could surprise any sith or jedi who wasnt expecting it.
I personally really loved the style of Ezra Bridgers First lightsaber. The fact it had a blaster, within the saber is still unique to this day
Oh my gosh I'd love a lightsaber pike! I love those things.
Oh, long form content is always better than short form for me.
The lightsaber pike(like what Kazdan and Shadow Guards use) and shoto guard sabers have been my favorite for years now. Love the unique designs and combat style along side them.
I have a unique saber idea.
It's inspired by the Halo energy sword. It's a duel blade where the blades point inwards to each other. Making an arrowhead shape.
I'm calling it Dathomirs Redeemer.
My OC, Ruthless Zunro, has this saber with a purple crystal.
I am one hundred percent on board with this.
Great video, I'm a instant fan and hope you can keep making these kinds of videos about any kind of lore. I'm sure if you knew this or not but mauls was unique in the fact that his saber (sabers) was actually made with twin crystals. That's why it still works when it was cut in half. Basically regular sabers welded together in the middle or something like that to keep them connected. Which was a brilliant idea seeing how he knew that it would be the primary target of the 2 jedi since it is considered a serious vulnerability of the double blade.
I may be mistaken, but I believe Maul’s saber actually contained four synthetic crystals in total.
I remember Ventress had a nunchuck like saber in the original battlefront 2
I think it was dlc
All these Lightsabers will be a fine addition to my collection.
You know I felt kind of silly when I came up with the Lighthook (Lightsaber grappling hook)
But after seeing the Lightaxe, Lightsickle, and Light PARASOL, I think my Lighthook is pretty good-
don't underrate the lightsickle, that's a kopesh
@@tumultoustortellini ohhhh 030
I once invented my own type called the double bladed cross guard which combines the agressive nature of the basic double bladed light saber and the opponent restrictions of the cross guard the uniqueness of my version is that it have different colours depending on the segment allowing the user to use both sides of the force at the same exact time
The lightwhip would have to win an award for worst weapon design. As if a regular whip isn't already impractical enough as a weapon, making it out of something that can maim or kill even with a light touch is a virtually guaranteed way to kill the weapon's wielder.
That a force user can manipulate the whip with the force combined with super human speed and skill make it (slightly) mor practical than it appears.
If wielded by a normal human, but we're talking about force sensitive here
To be fair, if you were trained in using the lightwhip, it could be a very efficient weapon, and if you were to be disarmed, your enemy likely wouldn't pick up you weapon, so you could retrieve it.
Although it would be quite difficult.
that's for normal people though, we're talking about a force-sensitive who could use the force to affect the blade and how it travels. you're also not taking into account how with a normal whip, the only damaging part is the tip at max range while the lightsaber whip could kill/maim at any range. with enough specialized training, it can be one of the most deadly weapons in the universe. even in combat against other lightsaber wielders too, as you can get your whip around their lightsaber and yank it out of their grasp, but if they tried using your lightsaber, they likely wouldn't know how. i see where you're coming from though :)
It put a smile on my face when you referred to her as Rey Palpatine and not Rey Skywalker

Are there 2 of you that overlap talking? Sound like someone is blending the same text with 2 voices. I was just curious. Anyway keep it up. Lovely content!
Super annoying
Nobody ever mentions the Light-shield. Great video though; extremely comprehensive.
Ever since I was a little kid i have been fascinated by lightsabers especially Ahsoka Tano's Fulcrum sabers (after starwars rebells). I find the story behind the white color super cool, interesting and very unique.
Isn't Warb Null's lightsaber a dual phase? I don't know if they show up in canon but in legends there were many users of dual phase lightsabers that changed colour, they usually changed size as well like Corran Horn's silver and purple

I love the temple guard lightsaber’s. There is just something so slick about them.
My top three are dookus curved hilt because of it's comfortable shape and ease of wielding in a duel, Kylo's cross guard due to it's look and feel not to mention how intimidating it was,and revans just from the iconic legacy man who wielded it in fact I have revans it costed me almost 200$ but it's so cool
Another pretty cool one is the one malgus has, with the dual blade guard that would let you cut even if your lightsaber was off.
I love you for saying "Ray Palpatine"
I love Ezra's first lightsaber. I understand that it's not very Jedi-like but it's unique and fun to watch someone use. It would have been cool to see Ezra get really good with it.
Good old star wars legends lore all these years later and its still awesome
Not all modern lightsabers can be thrown like you describe it. Similar to the double phase saber a lightsaber needs to be customised to be able to throw it by making a lockable activation switch (Anakin had one for example) when used the lightsaber would always stay on until the button is pressed again.
However as this can become dangerous to the wielder most Jedi use a contact switch which is the reason why lightsaber auto deactivate when they get unarmed as to not hurt the wielder should he lose grip on his blade (as seen in many fights like the fight of Obi-Wan against Jango)
Not gonna lie, a lightsaber axe with a handle made from beskar or some other lightsaber-resistant material would be badass, and maybe even my weapon of choice
Bought a saber from this guy, 10/10 I highly recommend. Customer service is fantastic. The saber came in wonderful condition and easy to use. I will definitely be getting another one.
Thanks my guy! Love chatting to you guys over on the VF sabers chat lol
My favorite lightsaber was the Darksaber, it has a huge history and was first made by a Jedi. But this lightsaber became incredibly famous and if you have it together with the right requirements then you can lead the Mandalorian Tribes to victory. It was incredibly special besides being my personal favorite and it was also owned by Darth Maul as his secundaire lightsaber.
I love the double bladed lightsaber, the curved hilt and the saber pike. I would use any of these

Perhaps a double bladed light saber that could extend, bend and come apart.
personally, because i use so many lightsabers at once, i prefer to go with either regular lightsabers or inexpensive variations like double bladed lightsabers. it's just super expensive and impractical to have 50-70 ultra-expensive lightsabers at a time.
Gotta say that shoto sabers are where it’s at. Super unique, even if not the most combat viable.

While the lightsaber pistol would likely be more effective, it is far inferior to most other lightsaber variants as it is uncivilized, thus negating a main function of a lightsaber as a more civilized weapon.

The inquisitor Light saber in helicopter mode was very dangerous
As someone who has practised fencing most of his life I would go with count dookus saber, I love it
The switcheroo blade is a mean move, but damn will duels be over fast.
Darksaber my favourite 100%
Fun fact in Canon about the dark saber it's considered a broadside saber which was not like the lot by the Jedi or the sith considering it was also considered not very sportsman but they did recognize how powerful and useful it was
Ezra's first lightsaber would be so practical. I'm kinda upset that the characters don't use the gun part of it up close, to create an opening. Like, if you get stuck in a bind with the opponent, you could just stun them and win the fight.
Ezra: *Shoots a stun bolt at an Inquisitor mid-saber lock*
Inquisitor: That's not very honorable!
Ezra: Yes, but counterpoint: you're a fascist.
Inquisitor: And that gives you the right to pull cheap shots mid-fight?!
Ezra: In every conceivable way.
Inquisitor: Oh-
Ezra: *Shoots the Inquisitor in the face with a stun bolt*
@@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets The ultimate close quarter technique:

I know technically Corran Horns light saber can be considered the same as Vader's but I think the uniqueness of it should have made it prime for this video. His dual phase lightsaber with the twist hilt to change out the crystal was far cooler then Vader's. At one length the blade was purple and at the other the blade turned silver and grew ALOT. That to me is an awesome lightsaber. YES I KNOW!!! I'M A STARWARS GEEK!!!!
One of my favourites in the old EU
I love the first time he used it in I, Jedi.
The image of abject failure because of a faulty crystal, followed by absorbing the energy of the explosion to save himself and send a message, only to find out moments later that he saved himself.... but not his clothes.

Why doesn't VFSabers sell a cybernetic armor saber
Maybe one day bro
I like the temple guards’ lightsabers because they made folding lightsabers cool. Also they were just freaking badasses
Imagine a saber with a slightly longer length hilt with 4 crystals inside, 3 on one side and 1 on the other. The primary side has a standard length blade and a short blade as well as a light whip. You would only attack rarely with the whip and if the surprise failed to kill them than use the standard blade. On the other side would be a slightly shorter blade mostly used for defence if they go for a low blow. Pop it on to block and than turn it off again. I would have this and a blaster on my belt.
Dookus lightsaber is my favourite. It is so elegant and deadly
