    It honestly makes sense to have a weapon that reflects the way you are going to use it, like Dooku (and his actor), I am a trained fencer with a rapier. I also do competitive LED Saber combat with TSL. My hilt for that purpose is designed to be used like I use a rapier. A slightly smaller diameter and hilt length that allows me to fight better with a single hand. If I remember my Jedi Lore correctly, the ancient Jedi were of the same notion that Anakin was in designing a lightsaber that was meant for the battlefield and specifically dueling against another lightsaber wielder. Anakin was going back to earlier Jedi roots when the galaxy was more violent that The Council would as soon forget.

    For all the atrocities Vader committed with that saber during Order 66 before losing it to Obi-Wan, you'd think it'd be imbued with the dark side and corrupt anyone who uses it. I wonder if there are any references to Obi-Wan purifying it before giving it to Luke.

      A weapon is simply a tool to do things, while the saber was used for evil the saber itself was created by a jedi and then eventually returned to a Jedi as well, unlike a proper sith Krystal which is bled with anger and hate and dark side energy which would be a more corrupt blade born out of malice although we've never seen a sith blade corrupt others for using it, as there are numerous instances of Jedi using red sabers and being just fine with it (if you know, you know)

      @@DSdemon767Honestly, he probably would have went in there even cockier if you can imagine that. He was naturally talented at things and because of that, he didn't put in as much effort in studying and training. This defeat helped humble him and to start taking some things more serious and with that came the construction of said lightsaber. Even more interesting when you consider the Dooku duel in episode 3 how in the beginning both he and Obi-Wan kept "stumbling" over each other to give Dooku a false sense of superiority and lull him into making mistakes. Anakin really grew in that time which I'm fully aware that I went completely off base with this comment but here we are. Anakin needed his defeat by Dooku to force him to grow. And yet, they still never learned to carry a spare saber on them afterwards.

    • @Evening-Sky
      @Evening-Sky 4 месяца назад +16

      Ahsoka's sabers share a lot of DNA with Anakin's and Obi-Wan's hilts. She has noticeably thinner hilts than both of her seniors-likely to accommodate her smaller hands. She's 14 at the turn of the Clone Wars and much smaller than Anakin. She also doesn't have ribs on any of her hilts. When I watch her fight against Grievous and other opponents, she seems to prioritize grace/agility (like Obi-Wan) instead of overpowering strikes (like Anakin). I suppose that lack of power is supplemented by her shoto saber (maybe more blades = more power?). The drastic difference between her Clone Wars hilts and Post-Republic hilts is more intriguing. They look more ceremonial than her Clone Wars hilts-although still plain. Maybe a sign of increased maturity as a servant of the Force. During Rebels, there were few bladed combatants that could match her skills with the blade. Dooku, Grievous, Ventress, Oppress, Maul, and maybe Vizsla all had a good leg up on her during the first half of the Clone Wars. During Rebels, the majority threat were Inquisitors who were largely below her skill. The majority inferior opponents meant less need for a functional design. The curved hilts that she uses in Rebels and onwards might signal further improvement of her saber skills. I know Dooku favored the curved hilt for its unpredictability and encouraged Ventress to use similar hilts (less curved though). So perhaps Ahsoka took what she learned from fighting those two and incorporated it into her design.

    It makes even more sense why Vader didn’t care that his lightsaber was so similar to Anakin’s. Anakin/Vader never cared about the symbolism of a lightsaber like Sidious and the Jedi. To him, it was nothing more than a weapon, not a connection to his past.

    So since he can't expand his mind, he expands his ability for combat, this also bothers them.
    I'm sure if he sat around doing nothing, they'd call him lazy too. The old Jedi form 1000 years ago would have been proud. You can't have peace without being ready for war. They were even more arrogant than the Sith and scared too.

    There's an argument that philosophically Anakin didn't make any changes to his second Lightsaber, I'll admit physically he made improvements over it's design, and additional functionality but the feelings behind Anakin's second lightsaber still stemmed from the same line of thinking as his first constructed lightsaber and further shows how much of Vader there was in Anakin all along.

      We all have a dark side that tends towards agression and violence but we do not all act on it as our first or dominate sense of self. If ones ability to hate is not as great as ones ability to love than that person is either a liar of the highest order and lying to themselves as well as the world at large, they are a feckless emfeniite man, or they are ignorant on a grand level. That does not mean we go around bashing each other's heads in at a drop of a dime. We are human after all and not at all a slave to our most primal urges we have intellect that can rule over any inborn nature or instincts. Some do this better than others. Males tend tohave stronger sex drive than women and it shows but most men do not go around wraping women some do most do not. Outside of some terrible trama seldom does a person base personality change with age. How they express their thoughts, needs, dreams adn desires might change but not their most basic sense of self. As you grow in experince and age some of use are constantly growing and changing while some of us stop at some point. Most people I knew that where jerks and or not good people in high school are still who they where then but older! Anakin was not fated to become Lord Varder he made a choice at a very critical point we know when he made that choice. He refused to repent and go back and instead doubled down. He chose to play the victim card long after he had the power and athority to flip the script. I understand he is no a real person and was written that way but if you look closely he had many oppertunities to walk away! Since the story was writen by men who wanted to tell a story it is all very accedemic and hypothetical since we know how the story ends!

It's not a bad line of thinking but it's not within the Jedi code for the fact that a Jedis' lightsaber is a tool, not a weapon this is what I meant by seeing Vader in Anakin he solely made a weapon.

    Anakin is in some ways like an echo of Dooku in this regard. Both felt out of place among the jedi, both were giant lightsaber nerds who built there own non-traditional lightsabers and became obsessed with becoming the best duelists they could be, even to the point of neglecting their more force-focused training, something which irritated both Palpatine and Yoda regarding both men since Yoda and Palpatine believed they should've focused more on mastering their use of the force. I swear every time Dooku and Skywalker crossed blades, it almost became a goddam pissing contest of who could lightsaber better... well in the end Anakin won that game.

    Interestingly though Blue/Green were the colors of guardians and consulars, Anakin was probably more in line with the Jedi Sentinels which also included many of the orders best tinkers and artisans.
    Though at the time of the clone wars in legends the crystals themselves created the blades colors and Ilum crystals could only produce blue/green.
    Also another interesting fact which disney has tried to bury is that in episode 1 obi-wans crystal was forged and not found. And the old sith often manufactured their own crystals using the dark side not just by bleeding but much of that knowledge died or was lost at the begining of the rule of 2.

    I mean, come on, the lightsaber was always meant to be a weapon, if the jedi really wanted to prove their willingness to sacrifice themselves for their ideals they wouldn't carry one at all (like master Fay) or would carry some kind of strictly non-lethal weapon, instead they carried one of the most lethal weapons in the galaxy, taking shit with Anakin just because he went "Okay fine, If I have to use this weapon, and it looks like I'm going to have to use it a lot, given the whole WAR thing that just started, I'll make it the best damn weapon I can" is just being petty and silly.

  • @ManuFortis

    As much as we all love Yoda... Dude is the perfect example of why old people shouldn't lead anyone. And before anyone disagrees, remember that Yoda basically came to the same conclusion after Order 66 and everything that came afterwards. He secluded himself away, not to protect himself; but others from himself. He realized the foolishness of his follies. The danger he brought upon so many, because of his own pride. Pride, that he told others to not have.
    If Yoda, and through him Obi Wan as well, had just accepted that Anakin was not going to be their perfect Jedi, he probably would have not ended up a Sith in the first place. He would have become something closer to a Grey, not completely, but not Sith either.
    Yoda, love him or hate him, is the perfect example of why pushing the idea of "why are you not like me or better than me" is a fools notion. He should have just accepted that some will take a different path than he has, and help them along the way instead of chastise them.
    Post-Edit: It should also be said, that as per the lore of the Star Wars galaxy (as per I understand at least), The force as it were does not care how you live, or die; only that you live and die. Everything else is just a balancing act between opposing forces. If Yoda and the council had realized this far sooner, they wouldn't have made so many mistakes. They would have realized the corruption oozing around them, was coming from them.

    You know the more I think about the more I realize that the Jedi were so far removed from what they were suppose to be and Yoda himself is the best evidence of that.
    What I mean is being the whole Light vs dark, both of which are highly subjective terms, it's the intention of the person that defines the words light and dark. So that being said Yoda's dismissal of the fact that jedi are warriors is clear as day and the reason the jedi order failed Anakin and many other Jedi. Mace Windu and others with a purple crystal seemed to understand that the Jedi code is more about walking that fine like of light AND dark, because that is the key our own individual paths, not to conform to defined standards, but to balance and define the light and darkness in ones self.
    Yoda and majority of the council were honestly to blinded in their faith to realize that every Jedi is gonna be different. I really think Mace Windu should have been the one to work/guide Anakin

Even to the bitter end Anakin was loyal turned in the only person who ever listened to him, to Windu, Palpatine was a Sith. Mace's response: yelled in his face he didn't trust, or have confidence in him, but if he wasn't a liar then he would.
