Rise Of The Skywalker

[The Nobody of Harambe 3]

I don't think so. The sacred Jedi texts were more about the force and stuff

[ConnahDC 5]

hmm well

they better have a bloody good reason as to why Anakins lightsaber is back

[Mupstun2 11]

Yea I like the lightsaber.. but it’s not hers!.. she needs her own

[ConnahDC 5]

like she can keep it

were not saying it has to go forever, or destory it

[Mupstun2 11]

My favorite lightsaber is Luke’s green one from return of the Jedi

[ConnahDC 5]

just want her to have her own unique one

[Mupstun2 11]

Exactly

Maybe even have a second one and she duel wields like Ahsoka

[ConnahDC 5]

its insane to me that they havent given her a dual bladed one

do Dual bladed ones require 2 crystals?

they do right/.

[Aqua_Wren 11]

Didn't Anakin's lightsaber.

Explode.

/ripped apart.

[ConnahDC 5]

uh

i dont think so?

[Silent Multiverse 7]

it ripped apart yeah broke in half

[The Nobody of Harambe 3]

Yeah but she fixes it in the rise of skywalker

[Mupstun2 11]

Yea.. but to fix it to be EXACTLY as it was before is a bit of a stretch... I figured she was just going to take the Crystal and some other pieces from it and make a brand new one

And nope. Duel bladed lightsabers only require one Crystal

That’s why I expected her to get a double bladed... since she is so privy to using a staff from her time on Jakku.. I felt a double bladed or some lightstaff like from swtor would be more in her comfort zone

in the trailer kylo doesn't cut through that guy because he's not cutting

he's stabbing with the little handle saber thing

even though they've nerfed a bit the lightsaber's cutting (for the good imo) it still cuts through flesh

@Novayon Well he stabbed him with what looks like his side guard. Those things are at most a foot long.

[Novayon 192]

I see

I thought the blade was pressed against him, but I guess it's not

[weasly65 0]

@ConnahDC also, he did get smacked, but it looked more like a parrying blow. Not something designed to kill.

[Neptuna 1]

you can see it's the handle being pressed

[weasly65 0]

The side guards are pretty much exactly for that. We see him use them in force awakens stabbing Finn.

They’re probably more designed to stab opponents while in a saber lock, or to stop people from sliding down the blade.

Plus given that his crystal is unstable, the side guards also serve as a funneling device to stop stop his lightsaber from exploding.

[Neptuna 1]

love it

Also, saber crystals are... funny things. Sometimes savers use more than one. And they use them for either a duel length function, or just for extra abilities.

I like to consider myself a minor expert in Star Wars. So if people have any questions or theories feel free to ask. I love to share.

[Neptuna 1]

doesn't the new trilogy cancel any existing canon outside of the skywalker saga?

[weasly65 0]

Explain cancel canon

[Neptuna 1]

make it non-canon

[weasly65 0]

Everything that is directly created by lucasfilms is considered canon. So all of the movies numbers 1-9. Rouge one, Solo, the clone wars, rebels, the new show, as well as any books like Phasma or extra media like battlefront 2 released after the buyout are canon as well

So for example, the old Thrawn of the heir to the empire trilogy isn’t canon. But Thrawn as a character is because he’s been reintroduced.
