Who and what is your favourite light saber. You don't have to use a EU of Movie saber, and can make one of your own creation. Please nothing outrageous like a lightsaber gun or lance. Please provide color of blade.

Well, come on! I know SOMEbody had to see this.


...



If nobody else will post I will. Either a Long handled one blade Dark green blade, Or a variation of the vadersaber with an orange blade.

I'm partial to the orange Sabers from KOTOR.

My favorite's Dooku's. The curved handle reminds me of a fencing saber.

Edit: Forgot colour. My favorite there would have to be the silver from KotOR II.

My favourite movie saber would have to be Anakin's ROTS/Luke's ANH and ESB saber, with the blue blade.

My favourite EU lightsaber would have to be Ulic Qel-Droma's saber from the Tales of the Jedi comic books. That had a green blade (indeed, I think all the Jedi had greenblades back then, for some reason).

If I could make my own, I'd like to try and make a lightsaber polearm. Basically get a bo staff and whack on a lightsaber onto the end.

Speaking of which, is there a possibility that the lightsaber colors symbolize something? I know this is farfetched but is it a possibility.

I'll take a purple ANH Obi-Wan blade. Not because Samuel L. Jackson had a purple blade, but because I happed to like the color purple.

Mace's AOTC blade. It's pretty unique among the movie Jedi sabers. Not just the color of the blade, but I think the handle with the black and gold looks good and sets it apart from the others that are seen.

Bob Brown had speculated on that for a while IIRC. Something about having something to do with how the owner used the Force. However, it seems to me that lightsaber color seems to be more of a personal choice than anything else - although for some reason the Sith always choose red sabers, but that might be the intimidation factor.

Aside from the red, blue, green and purple seen in the movies, there was the aforementioned silver saber, and I heard one of the other masters had a yellow saber. IIRC, Callista's (EU) saber was orange.

My favorite saber is a tossup between Mace Windu's (with BMF engraved on the hilt) and Lt. Hit-Man's* black-bladed lightsaber.

Darth Vader's Lightsabre. By a mile. The similarity to both his Padawan (AotC) and Knight (RotS-TESB) sabres, while still being of a new, evil (the black components) character by a comparison is one of the most subtle and gratifying continuity "hey, cool!" points in all of Star Wars.

Second comes his Knight sabre, third comes his Padawan sabre.

How about something like chain swords (ala God of War), but with lightsabers? Nothing quite like distance killing with swords.

Well... If you can figure out how to make it work technically I will give you an award and you can put it on.

I would go for a lightsaber in the same style as Exar Kun's, only it would be a single blade design, not a double blade. I would go for the "pearlescent" blade color, that is, mainly silver with a constant variation of subtle colors on the edges. I remember it being described in a SW novel, alas, I believe it was one by KJA.

Yeah, it was Gantoris' sabre.

I would have to go with a yellow blade, though I don't have any idea if that is supported by the EU. As for favorite hilt...Don't really have one, but let's say something akin to Anikin's from ROTS.

Sabre-chucks, yo!

What's wrong with the idea of a lightlance? You twink out the saber with a few more crystals, pop in the nessecary mechanism to rotate and shift them, extend the handle a good deal, and PRESTO! - You've got a Jedi Zhou Yun,

As for my 'saber of choice, I'll never tire of of the Vader 'Saber: black with a shroud and a red blade conquers all in my book.

Anyways, I'd use two short sabers with white blades. (Because I don't think a black saber blade is possible)

Yep, Ganner Rysode's blade was a sulphurous yellow.

As for my favourtie saber, well Yoda's is pretty mint, in the original green of course.

Red is most definitely my favorite color. I'd say my favorite styles would be dual lightsabers first, followed by the double blade, then the single.

I'm partial to Maulie's saber myself. It was an incredible feeling the first time I saw him turn on both blades.

Dooku's lightsabre is by far my favorite because of its curved design. It's clean and elegant looking without bulky knobs and buttons. I want a blue blade, though.

Master Qui-Gon's green blade --- simple, and elegant

Luke Skywalker's RotJ saber for hilt and color. My favorite of all the OT and PT's.

I like Kenobi's ROTS/ANH saber. Blue is my favorite color for the blade, and I like the design of the hilt. It's both better looking and more practical. It's got a better non-slip gripping surface than any of the other sabers, and I like the shape of the emitter head as well.
