What is your favorite light saber?
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.

I'm partial to the orange Sabers from KOTOR.

My favourite movie saber would have to be Anakin's ROTS/Luke's ANH and ESB saber, with the blue blade.The Jazz Intern wrote:Who and what is your favourite light saber.

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.

Re: What is your favorite light saber?
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.The Jazz Intern wrote:Speaking of which, is there a possibility that the lightsaber colors symbolize something?

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.

May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.
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.

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.

Re: What is your favorite light saber?
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,The Jazz Intern wrote:Please nothing outrageous like a lightsaber gun or lance.
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.
This has been another blunder by you friendly local idiot.

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

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

"Of course, what would really happen is that in Game 7, with the Red Sox winning 20-0 in the 9th inning, with two outs and two strikes on the last Cubs batter, a previously unseen meteor would strike the earth, instantly and forever wiping out all life on the planet, and forever denying the Red Sox a World Series victory..."
Luke Skywalker's RotJ saber for hilt and color. My favorite of all the OT and PT's.
