Which would you rather wield?

Which would you rather wield?
You've got the lightsaber staff.(ex Darth Mauls saber)
Dual lightsabers (fighting with 2 sabers)
Dual phase lightsaber.(this one is only mentioned in the books. It's used by Corran Horn and one other person that I can't think of the name of at the moment. Basicly it's a lightsaber with 2 focusing crystals instead of one and what you can do with it is in midfight you can change the length of the blade from long to short, short to long or anywhere inbetween)
One regular boring old saber.
Or something else I haven't mentioned I know there is one other kind at least but I can't think of the name of it.

listen kid, i've been around this galaxy long enough to know nothing beats a good blaster by your side...

thatdarngirl #8.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I was wondering where that option was.

perrin #8.2 perrinOG 2004

Yeah if you want to get wasted by your own blaster shot. lol.

is a nuke an option?

modestjesse #6 modestjesseOG 2004

Old School. Just one needed.

there's no way anyone could a lightsaber staff (like darth maul's) without cutting their own legs off or torso clean in half.

Sure they could. You don't see people smacking themselves with bos all the time do you?

perrin #5.1.1 perrinOG 2004

That's actually what I was thinking but you beat me to it. lol

deanh77 #5.1.2 deanh77Founder

anytime I've ever seen someone in a movie use a long staff to fight, they have:

1) handled the entire length of it.

2) used parts of their body against the bow for leverage.

Comparing a dual ended light-saber(ala darth maul) to a long staff is stupid. a better analogy would be a long, razor sharp, double-bladed sword with the handle in the middle. And even then you can hit yourself (with the broad side of the blade) and not hurt yourself.

I've never seen anyone handle such a weapon.

perrin #5.1.2.1 perrinOG 2004 stupid

Dude it's science fiction so it doesn't matter what you've seen in real life it's a fantasy world.

iwz iwz

no dude, star wars is real man. *slap*

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Blasphemy! Just because it's in a galaxy far far away does not mean that it isn't real!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

yeah, PERRIN, just becasuse you close your eyes, doesn't mean galaxies far far away cease to exist! freakin' existentialists.

perrin perrinOG 2004

lol man you guys need help I thought I was bad. :-P

tinser tinserOG 2002

ohhhh, i'm pulling my light saber on you for that one

perrin perrinOG 2004

Wow my first mod. I'm so proud. To bad it's marked stupid. lol

#5.1.2.2 brothermanOG 2004

Well you saw Darth Maul handle one silly.

iwz #5.2 iwz

well, that's why only those skilled in the force use lightsabers.

tinser #5.2.1 tinserOG 2002

yeah, you shouldn't be allowed to own a lightsaber, unless you can use it sucessfully blind folded

perrin #5.2.1.1 perrinOG 2004

That would makie for an interesting test to see if you should own one.

ophelia #5.2.1.2 opheliaOG 2003

or while being tickled

perrin perrinOG 2004

That's even better. lol.

ilikebirds #4 ilikebirdsOG 2002 stupid

there's only one saber that i wield. and weild it right i do.

perrin #4.1 perrinOG 2004

Repeat after me inappropriate comment

ilikebirds #4.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

if your mind isn't pure yes. if not.. it's tottally appropriate.. i'm talking about a short red lightsaber.

perrin #4.2.1 perrinOG 2004

Yes but this is you we are talking about so it must not be meant to be pure and we all know it.

forrestina #3 forrestinaOG 2002

i said dual, but i'd end up just slicing off my leg.

thatdarngirl #2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Actually, the other guy who had the light saber that could change lengths had it so it could be three different lengths. He was actually being taught by an ancient sith and was turning sith himself before he was destroyed by the power.

perrin #2.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah he could set it between short medium and long. That was in the Jedi search trilogy. Not as good as Zahn's but pretty good.

thatdarngirl #2.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah, I enjoy that trilogy a lot! Good stuff there.

perrin #2.1.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah great series of books. There are some really cool characters in their that I really liked. OOOHHH I just thought of a new thread I'm going to make. hehe. I'm such a star wars geek. lol.

tinser #1 tinserOG 2002

definitely what you refer to as the boring light saber, it's not boring! It's the original thing! Luke Skywalker is my idol, and i'm going to be just like him. Oh yes, green please.

perrin #1.1 perrinOG 2004

lol. It is in comparison with the other lightsabers. Though I do understand what your saying. :-P

tinser #1.1.1 tinserOG 2002

yeah, but even if you just think of the light saber....its the whole concept behind it. It's the first one...the original has gotta be the best.

perrin #1.1.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Ah. Now I really do understand. Yes it is the original. It's where it all started. Without that there would be none of the others.
I see said the blind man.
