He made some pretty good points. And its true, there are so guards on a lightsaber so when you lock up with someone couldn't you always just slide down and take they're hand off?

not if your opponent is paying attention.
>>581891867
You were partially mistaken as well. Not a claymore. But it has guards on it
>>581885519
You win forever.
How does it even work? If they're using lenses to divert part of the beam to the sides then it would end up having the same length as the primary blade. They could have a smaller crystal inside it but I just don't see how it would fit.

would have made the best sequel out of all the EU works. though really i hoped to see something from the new jedi order series. a good ugly alien invasion instead of the empire and guys in white armor.
I always thought that jedi should be able to harness the gravity around themselves with the force to make the the light sabers orbit around their hands (or themselves), not unlike general grievance

The Star Wars universe as we know it doesn't exist anymore according to Disney. I think the only thing they consider canon are the movies, the Clone Wars series, and that shitty Rebels thing they do now.
>>581892560
some of it was retarded
>Maul didn't die?
retarded
>Fett survived the Sarlac pit?
The Sarlaac digests its victims slowly over the course of centuries, keeping the victim alive in the process. It is not entirely unreasonable to think that if an escape is tried soon enough that someone may succeed. Especially if that person is Boba Fett.
As far as the Emperor is concerned, one of the ancient Sith secrets was the power of essence transfer, The Emperor used it to repeatedly torture the man who designed the Death Stars. But it has been speculated that the clones ere separate entities than the Emperor that died at Endor.
>>581892660
Personally, I think they're for exhaust. Like it's an unstable saber or crystal.
>>581893625
They can but if they're holding it they get the amount of force they can force along with plain old fashion swinging

Thats just not at all true. Lightsaber has no exhaust to it.
>>581892660
To stop it from making sense for one guy to slide his lightsaber down and cut off the other guys hand when they fight.
>>581894304
well at least they didn't do away with the clone war series, but dropping everything else was just foolish. i've got every book in the EU sitting on a shelf behind me, i don't think i'll be throwing those away and accepting this new universe disney is shitting out.
>>581894639
Kek
>>581894659
You never know, it could be something. (new movie)
I was reading about it and its not a cross guard, its exhaust from the saber crystal or something because he made the thinghimself
>>581894329
its so the user can cut his fucking hands off when he gets tired of fighting, because a laser beam cross guard makes sense.
>>581893625
Like this?
>>581891263

>>581893942
Crossguard is useless here. When the enemy Lightsaber comes down, it just cuts through the metalbar where the sidelasers come out. It woud make sense, if the sidelasers came out where the mainlaser is coming out, with no more metal.

>>581894965
Guard is likely made of some sort of material a lightsaber cannot cut. There are examples, but the EU is defunct so
>>581894863
You should really read up on lightsaber mechanics
>>581895230
one of the several types of material that are lightsaber resistant for stupid reasons.
>>581895230
>>581895351
But even then the Laser is pointless. Then they could have made the guard entirely out of Cortosis.
Also it will be destroyed after a few hits

It's a weapon after all, you can't always go for comfortability. Blasters are still much more uncomfortable.

Everyone keeps saying the hand guard is useful, its not, the energy guard emitters are too far out meaning anyone sliding their own blade down that one will cut off the emitters before that persons hand.

It's likely not an actual Cross Guard. The Movie is called "The Force Awakens", suggesting something ancient 'Awakens'. Therefore the guy in the clip could either be ancient, or maybe raided some tomb or something, and retrieved this blade, which was most likely made by someone who didn't really know what they were doing when it comes to making a Saber. The "cross Guard" is more likely execs plasma, and is most likely emitted from the middle of the steel part, and the steel bits are just covering some of it, therefore, if another blade were to slide down the side, it would cut through the steel bit and reach the excess plasma and be stopped by that. The blade and/or the guy holding the blade could also explain the way the blade looks and sounds, being unstable, which is why it looks more 'fiery' and makes a more screechy noise.

Luke lets him do it. He disappeared just before Ep 7 and is seen a handful of times in a flashback sequence. He cracked under a long period of torture and joined the dark side. He is with the Sith inquisitors with a mask on in every scene they are in until the final 20 minutes where the mask comes off (vader tribute for a "like father,like son" moment) a fight happens between Kira and Luke and when he realizes he is fighting Han's daughter(his niece). He drops his saber and screams for them to kill him and that "his" pull is too strong.
The imperial Jedi Hunters captured him led by Gwendoline Christies character known as Marek. Lupita Nguyo(however you spell it) is a Dathomir Nightsister.
The fucking thing ends with a cliffhanger of an Imperial lords fleet in orbit around Coruscant about to fire all guns upon the New Republic's HQ(Think Taris from KoTOR)

All not canon now. Despite GL actually accepting the EU as real. Disney said "fuck you, you will accept OUR version". All books,short films,animated tv shows, comics and games after Ep VII is now canon.

the thrawn trilogy is great, a must read, plus it introduces probably the best EU character in the whole series (mara jade).
i also really liked the new jedi order series, but its a lot of books and some of the plot is hard to keep up with. if you plan to read it i'd also read the jedi academy series, its essentially an introduction to the new generation (solo kids plus friends plus newer jedi).
the x-wing series is good, like 7 books in that one and it expands on somewhat lesser known characters.
black fleet and hand of thrawn series aren't to bad. dark nest trilogy is ok. legacy of the force was a knife to the gut with the way it went, and fate of the jedi didn't really fix it.

Clear anti white agenda like all hollywood films,media advertising, news media and the like these days.
The fact remains Star Wars is a clear white majority fanbase. So you would think the lead would be white to give the audience someone to connect with.
Pissing a lot of people off. It's never the other way around either.
The casting itself said looking for a tall attractive physically built white male and an attractive mixed race or black woman for roles in a new Disney film set to start in the UK in 2014.
A lot of people reckon that means he may get killed off quite quickly.
We have 3 episodes and 4 singular spin offs coming.

All the clones are dead. It's been 40-45 years since the clone wars. They had accelerated aging.

>>581903663
they actually did use a new line of clones for a while, non jango clones that is. they were rapidly grown and didn't get the extensive training that the jango clones did though. apparently there were still some in circulation during ep4-6 but lots of those guys were human recruits like you said.
