I have no idea, you just kinda have to fiddle with it until it works. It is best, from what I found, to essentially work backwards at the second half of the lightsaber, so to speak. Put on a new body first, than a switch, than an emitter, blade, and light.

37" Blade. It's beautiful.

>>43701756
Because sometimes you're just not in the mood.

>>43701947
There are pills for that anon.

What about light saber armor? Like sections of armor with light sabers built in so you can murder hug Jedi?

>>43701986
Wasn't there an ancient Sith guy with armor like that (shoulder and elbow attacked mini-lightsabers or something of the sort) in one of those video games set in ancient times?

If lightsabers can deflect blasters why don't they make ships out of lightsabers.

>>43702010
The same reason they don't make aeroplanes out of black boxes.

>>43702020

Because it would make it too heavy to fly? I'm not sure if that applies here, anon.

>>43702010
The amount of crystals and power-cells required would be ridiculous. Also the heat would probably cook the ship's insides.

>>43702010
Because a) they only project in straight lines b) they have to be projected from a really pretty sizeable beam projector, and most importantly c) fuck you.

>>43702075
>>43702082

But theoretically

Somebody with enough money could do it

And they would basically be invincible. I don't think heat would be a problem, since as I recall, the way lightsabers work, the emit very little, perhaps none at all, ambient heat. A vessel meant to traverse space would have no difficulty with that, certainly.

>>43702113
Again, it would have to be like, a porcupine, because the beams only project in straight lines.

Plus someone could just shoot a rocket at you and blow you up anyway.

>>43702113
>Somebody with enough money could do it

There may not be enough crystals in the universe.

>>43702129

I can think of a few ways to overlay them properly so that it would offer fairly good coverage while being parallel to the ship.

The only real problem is that some gaps would be necessary for viewing ports, leaving some obvious weak points.

>>43702130

So use synthetic crystals.

>>43702141
And again, any normal ship would just launch a salvo of rockets at it and destroy it.

Plus a turbolaser still has enough energy to overload the sabers or something.

>>43702113
You know what else deflects blaster bolts?

Energy shields. Which ships have.

Sabershields just wouldn't be reasonable. The emitter is proportionately much larger than a shield generator, and they can only be projected in a straight line whereas energy shields conform to the size of the ship, up to and including protecting the generator that's emitting them. A sabershield can't protect itself, it can only protect what's in front of it. The best you could essentially do is make a cone, with a fat ass aft section that's completely vulnerable, adding SUBSTANTIALLY to the size and power draw of your ship. Plus, you can't shoot out.

Sure, you could put in a shield generator as well to protect the vulnerable saber emitters, but if you're going to just add a shield generator anyway it doesn't make any sense to sacrifice so much size, energy consumption, and cost for all those emitters when you could just upgrade your shields for more protection, less size, less power draw, and cheaper cost.

>>43702146
>so use unstable shit that may explode on you

So much for invincible. Also, creating that many crystals of that magnitude would kill the person trying to do it really early on, and there are only a few darksiders left who know how.

So what does TG think of my saber polearm? 32" blade as the main weapon with a backup "surprise" emitter in the bottom that would have a very short parry blade. But even when the parry blade is turned off, you can use the emitter to bludgeon somebody to death.

That's why they renamed all the old EU materials "Legends" instead of just putting a big red X on it.

You can operate in either canon if you so choose.

14 inch hilt and a 32 inch amber blade, with a transparisteel window to prevent those nasty emitter window accidents everyone's so worried about.

Really, one would hope that any Padawan who decides to put a window on their emitter piece has been properly educated on how to handle a lightsaber without torching your own fingers off. Only reason it even happens is due to the fact that the laserbrains who are more interested in looking cool over using proper lightsaber forms are the ones that keep coming in for treatment.

I'm fucking up everything today.

Would that even work?
I thought lightsaber parts were fragile and delicate, doing something like that would break it.

>>43703435
They are delicate because they generally aren't meant for bashing things, not because some reality warping phenomenon says they can't be sturdy regardless of how you make them.

>>43703447
Except it might possibly be a case of the innards getting knocked out of place or breaking from the shock force of actually swinging it like a mace at full strength against a surface. You can make the hilt near indestructible sure, but the saber might not turn on if you bash someone's head in with it. It's not that the insides can't take any shock, but there might be a limit on it that exceeds simply swinging them about in sword fighting.

That said, fuck if I know, and there's not much point to it outside of stubbornly just wanting to hit things with a solid object when your saber's blade is way better at it.

*might* isn't a very good argument, anon.

Fact is that this is futuristic tech we're talking about here, and you could probably do the job with real world tech. If you ask me it isn't unreasonable at all to think someone could harden their saber if they wanted to use it as a mace part time.

If the crystals fall out of alignment or something, then just make their frame more sturdy. If the electronics get busted, then stop using cheap chinese knockoffs.

>>43703493
Perhaps you are trying NOT to kill someone, or cripple them? Knocking someone out with a blunt object gives them a much higher life expectancy than cutting them in half with an elongated loop of plasma.

Most of these are coming from mass produced parts, much like the Cusom Saber Shop's modular hilt system (Over here! http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/mhsbuilder/mhsbuilder.php It's got fewer options and it isn't 3D, so I didn't bother to post it in the OP.) and it's hard for saber-smiths to manage a curved blade. Even most of the big name smiths tend to avoid it due to the difficulty of squeezing the electronics in around the curve.

Lightsabers can't stop missiles.
Anything bigger than a handheld blaster would probably just straight up overload the saber and destroy it. Otherwise why wouldn't Luke just stand in the death of the Death Star laser and deflect it?

>>43707974
>Lightsabers can't stop missiles.

Well, not directly.

>>43707974
A couple episodes of Rebels have shown blaster bolts from ship-mounted blasters being deflected.

Wouldn't grenades be the obvious choice to fight against Jedis?
Shower the motherfucker in grenades and he won't be able to deflect all that shrapnel.

Yes, lob the small, lethal object at the precognitive warrior who can hurl things back at you with telekinesis.

Shotguns or flamethrowers would really be your best bet.

>>43708124
Looks like it wouldn't be the best to use with two hands, although not as bad as some others.

Also, do the colors of the blade have any effect on the performance of the weapons, or is all the practical difference in the handle/crystal and blade length?

>>43708156
We've seen people block flamethrowers with the Force before and I've never seen a shotgun in Star Wars outside a video game.

>flamethrowers
Worked great for Jango.

>>43708183
It's kinda weird how you separate that, because both of those are EU items. They're roughly as canon as one another.

>>43708163
Color is more or less a matter of preference, unless stated otherwise. IIRC there was a Mon Cal jedi with a yellow blade that worked underwater, but that's an exception rather than the rule.

>>43708145
>>43708156
Make a grenade that's triggered by sudden changes in momentum during it's trajectory, like an airbag. Anything the jedi tries to do with the grenade makes it go boom instantly.

>>43708208
His fault for not being in the proper range for flamethrowering.

>>43708222
Kit Fisto's green saber also worked underwater, so it's not connected to color.

Is there a lightsaber that is similar to a zweihander?

>>43708234
Then they just swoop it around, like a Harlem Globetrotter slinging a basketball behind his back.
>>43708237
Most lightsabers are two-handed weapons. A lot of them have long blades.

>>43708235
The problem was that he went for a compressed gas flamethrower rather than a liquid pump one. Of course, if he'd gone for a liquid one it would have required a backpack so big he couldn't have taken a jetpack, so I guess you gotta prioritize.

>>43708237
All lightsabers work as two handed swords, but you might look into Kylo Ren's one from the new movie. It has a crossguard.

>>43702207
Cool, I always thought it strange that you never see saber pole arms anywhere in Starwars seeing how melee warfare eventually advanced to the point where everyone was just trying to outreach eachother with pikes, halberds, and stupidly long duelling swords.

>>43702235
Simple and elegant.

>>43702449
Again, pretty simple, but that's usually a good thing. Something with a million knob and doodads would be murder to wield.

>>43703091
What's that red ring thingy? I'd love to see a show down with >>43702207.

>>43703104
It looks very knightly, but I don't know how I feel about the flares guard thing before the emitter.

>>43703223
Sweet, the window really adds a nice flourish to the black banding throughout.

>>43703293
This has a vintage look, to me at least. Like the wielder found it in the attic of his deceased uncle's 70s style ski chalet, probably in a box wedged underneath an orange corduroy sofa.

>>43703399
That's one long ass hilt, why is there on grip for a small section of the bottom end? I'd imagine it would make more sense to have it higher up towards the emitter where grip strength is critical.

>>43703521
Looks crazy villainous, I'd be constantly worried about the orbital emitter guards being shorn off in combat.

>>43704615
Probably a recluse or member of a non-evil force using sect on a far flung world.

>>43705604
It looks very old, especially with the unusual white blade. Maybe the wielder recovered it from the temple of a non-jedi force cult?

>>43705884
Looks like something Solaire would use.

>>43706197
This is by far my favourite. It pulls off intricacy and ornamentive design without being tacky or overdesigned.

>>43708232
Looks nice, would recommend a little more Handel though

>>43708110
Nope. The way you fight Jedi is with traps. You DO NOT take them on head on, especially not with grenades or rockets. You ever play Jedi Knight, son?

>>43708039
By whom? And what size of blaster? Because if fucking Ezra is running around deflecting blaster cannons I'm going to fucking pack it in, I'm pretty sure not even Yoda/Obi-Wan could do that in E3/the Clone Wars.

>>43708028
A static lightsaber attached to a ship couldn't, which is the point.

Pretty sure it was Ezra. Admittedly I might be remembering it wrong because I just watched through everything from Siege of Lothal up yesterday.

>>43708326
That doesn't make any sense though, why would they choose to constantly try to dodge, nearly getting their shit blown up every time, rather than easily deflect it back and destroy their attacker who they're trying to kill anyways? Eg., Obi-Wan getting shot at by Boba in the Slave One in Clones?

R8 my laser sword /tg/.

>>43708413
Fair enough. I've just done some research, in Legends Kyp Durron, Jaina Solo, and some other guy have canonically deflected ship mounted blaster cannons, but that was because they were immensely strong warriors. Ezra is a fucking kiddie who's been using the force for like a week and a lightsaber for ever less, which is I think what bothers me most. Kanan doing it might rustle me a little, but at least he's a knight and can kind of explain it.

Though coming back to the strength thing, I wonder if a static, mounted lightsaber would be as "strong" as a saber wielded by a strong jedi? Sort of "the strongest oak bends in the wind," a saber glued to a ship couldn't dynamically redistribute momentum to any degree whatsoever.

>>43708519
It probably just jars your hands more when you block it, which is why you don't want to be blocking hi-power lasers or automatic blasters. But yes, Ezra is a little kid and should not be able to do it perfectly.

That was my thought. I have gotten some interesting comments based on its style. I like the idea that it is used on the Outer Rim in no-fail scenarios.
From earlier threads:
>A big guy who probably uses another one of these as a matched pair. Brutal in combat, and has a unique sense of style that garners attention often. He is a Jedi, but barely.
>An older ascetic who prefers to live outside the jedi temple, helping people as they travel the nigh-lawless Outer Rim.
I like the idea of a Jedi who has had it with the Order and seeks to make the galaxy a better place on his own terms.

>>43708966
Not bad... but might even be the weapon of a Sith, I mean the original Sith mentioned in the Book of Sith w/o lightsabers and stuff who was trained by a "more civilized" master but will still rely on an oldfashioned axe when SHTF and his saber breaks down.

>>43709136
>SHTF
I believe that is a good contingent to be prepared for regardless of alignment. However, I agree with you, if not a Jedi exile, a Dark Jedi for sure. I am sure somewhere along that path the fall to the dark side was a major probability.

>>43708892
Following the light side of the force is an actual challenge though, unlike the dark side, aka babbymode force user

My attempt at a rapier style lightsaber with relatively short hilt and long blade , I really wish the site had some sort of emitter that wasn't designed to catch the blade that didn't direct the opponent's blade directly into your hand (looking at you venom emitter.)

>>43709350
None of the emitters are designed to catch the opponent's blade, because they can't.

>>43709382
The one I used is clearly designed to very often so it had better be made of something that can withstand the blade otherwise it's going to get cut through frequently. This argument has been had before and there are two camps based on the whole lightsabers stick to each other and don't slide thing so I'm not going to continue on this after this post.

Reminder that the colour of the Lightsaber's crystal is determined when its affected by its first wielder's personality and attunment to the Force and alignment (Light/Grey/Dark). It's colorless before then.

>>43709480
Which ones? Even some that have buttons, like the Mauler, have two extra holes in the back.

Disney hasn't released any info on that, but I'd assume Dark side is Red, Grey is White (I can't source that, but I read somewhere that Ahsoka's new Lightsaber's has white crystals now because she's conflicted) and the rest if Light side and is determined by personality and how strong their attunment to the force is.

No, those blades are generated from a single point in the center. The only thing you would damage that way is the option to turn the side blades off.

>>43709996
This has been discussed heavily. The secondary emitters are hollow, and basically focus the beam to keep it long, but if you smack a lightsaber blade into them the blade will go through the metal and hit the beam inside.

No, the empire has taught us the way you fight the Jedi is with a combination of hostile warfare to suppress the rebuilding of fortifications and training grounds a long with the use of highly skilled assassins whose sole job is to hunt down and kill highly thought of (but not necessarily the most skilled) Jedi.

This prevents the Jedi from being able to establish the stable training and recruitment systems necessary for them to begin the decades long process of training new members. It also demoralizes the Jedi by using a few select killers to take out high-value targets and bring command into disarray forcing the lesser Jedi into hiding or seclusion.

The trick is to prevent replenishment and do your best to scatter them, after that old age will claim most of the survivors in a decade since the young and bold (but relatively inexperienced) warriors will likely die or be wounded in battle.

You may even convince some to join you or others may simply give up the Jedi path altogether to live a relatively safe and normal life.

You defeat the Jedi in the realm of the mind not the body. Except the old ones, you just let time finish killing those crusty fuckers off.

Personally I'd rather have a lightsaber variant I can throw around with the Force.

stick eight emitters on a ring, slap a forcefield on the side, I'd have a light-shuriken 4 meters across I could just toss through a bunch of mooks at waist level. It'd be so much easier than going after them one-by-one.

Why don't jedi use grenades anyway, they could just home them in on the target.

>>43712743
Look it up. I don't mean that in a jackass way, there's tons of ways to make lightsabers out of household bullshit. The original lightsaber was just a camera flash stick, a strip off of a calculator, and some windshield wipers, after all.

1-1/2 inch steel or aluminum pipe, about a foot long will do you fine. You can get a lot of mileage out of O-rings, and any flared drain half a doorknob could work as an emitter. For a pommel, almost any endcaps could work. Obi-wan's original came off of a faucet.

>>43712379
Go with a D-ring.

I've got a few, and the covertech knobs (that's the brand, Covertech) are generally uncomfortable. The covertech holders for the belt also stand a chance of getting stuck, and they're more expensive than your standard D-ring.

>>43707974
>why wouldn't Luke just stand in the death of the Death Star laser and deflect it?
Because he is crybaby and has no balls. He never did any cool stuff, he could not even beat emperor without his father's help. Luke is shitty jedi.

>>43715094
Has a holster ever been a thing? It could be much more secure and you could also put some kind of saber-proof safety plate over the emitter.

>>43715307
>Luke is shitty jedi.
Of course he is, he never finished his training because he had to save his friends. This is what the old order was talking about when they sad no personal attachments!

>>43715338
No.

Don't get me wrong, there's probably some instance of people carrying a lightsaber in a messenger tube, but it's easier to leave it disassembled and reassemble it on the fly if stealth is needed. Most of the time, a Jedi wants the lightsaber out in the open, as a badge of authority.

>>43715422
Well it would certainly be more functional. No flopping around, easy access, plus all of the safety features you could add, including a protective plate and even a hardshell cover over the switch. I'd expect the saber itself would have a safety, though.

>In truth, the Sith normally wielded enough powers to fight without a lightsaber, but every apprentice still learned to use one as part of his or her training. Sidious himself felt that he and his peers had outgrown the use of lightsabers, and only continued carrying them to mock the Jedi. He ultimately viewed his own lightsabers as little more than an affectation, and rarely wielded them in combat.

>>43715359
>he had to save his friends
He can finish his training and save them latter. As I say previously, he has no balls, and that's the real problem.

>As lightsaber crystals didn't make their appearance in Star Wars mythos until later, the color difference between Jedi and Sith lightsabers was originally thought to reflect the personality of the wielder. This erroneous viewpoint was even supported by the comic book adaptation of Return of the Jedi, which depicted Luke Skywalker's lightsaber emitting a red blade when Vader ignited it.

>While the idea that lightsaber blade colors reflected the personality of the wielders was eventually corrected, red crystals weren't actually established to be synthetic in nature until the release of Star Wars Insider 62 in 2002, though the existence of synth-crystals was established in the Expanded Universe novel Shadows of the Empire, though they were not referred to as such.[11][12]

>>43715543
That's ignoring the fact that it's a symbol. It would be like a Highway Patrolman putting his badge and gun into a tupperware container strapped to his belt.

Also, the covertech knobs that the prequel lightsabers, and most commercial sabersmiths, use keeps the hilt from flopping as you run.

Even if you didn't want that, there's also the Yoda option of having it attached to your belt via magnetic plate or some other clamp.

>>43715763
Problem is, his friends didn't really need him. He accomplished nothing by going to Hoth except endangering himself, losing his lightsaber, and getting his hand lopped off. He didn't even manage to return to Yoda for a solid year, at which point the little goblin dude was already dying. He basically spent a year planning with the Rebels and reading some of Obi-Wan's notes before rescuing Han, rather than training with Yoda and Obi-Wan on Dagobah for another year.

In one of the comics (or novels? It's been a while) Vader trained a few force-sensitive Fett Clones that were specially created on Kamino to act as anti-Jedi Stormtroopers. There was only around six or so of them, but the project didn't work out in the end.

>>give in to the dark side for about five minuetes and control a giant bat bear
>>had a jedi vision quest

All feats assisted by a anti imperial terrorist cell, and later by some rebels. Pretty much everythign else in the series was done by someone else on the team.

>>43718225
Simple but notably elegant. The choice of black metal shows a narcissistic streak, tempered by a disciplined and spartan side that holds no truck with flash that actualy gets in the way of the light sabers use.

An aesthetic ascetic.

>>43718392
A duelist fond of comfort. Some may see them as too close to the dark side, but this is probably untrue. This is probably not the first lightsaber this jedi has built.

>>43720254
A complicated design built by someone who likes to show what they know. Probably a Consular Researcher who knows much of engineering. Not a field Jedi, and not someone who likely interacts much with non Jedi.

>>43718911
A saber built all for strength and reach, diverging considerably from traditional Jedi design. Most likely a fallen or dark Jedi, if this was built by a Jedi at all, and not a Force Adept finding their own way in the galaxy. And one who likes to fight.

Still they are not Sith, or least, not a True Sith, though they may have been led astray.

Not entirely convinced by the vanes, to be honest, but I quite like how the rest works out.

How do regular bullets fare against lightsabers?

>>43717793
My mistake. I was crashing at that point. Thanks for the correction.

>>43722254
It looks good actually.

>>43722427
The facts about bullets in Star Wars: They're generally useless against high-quality body armor, barely scratching Stormtrooper gear. They're faster than blaster bolts and have the advantage that no one can see them to track your position. And you can vary the bullet types with explosives, igniting, fragmentation, armor piercing, and the like.

That said, there's two schools of thought about them.

The first: Jedi can't block bullets because it would only partially melt and they'd get a face full of molten lead running at bullet speed. To my knowledge, there's no canon or Legends evidence of this, but it's common sense.

The second: Jedi can block bullets with lightsabers, but since bullets fire faster than blaster bolts, it's harder for them to do and a fully automatic weapon could overwhelm them.

The second has some support in canon. Luke and one of his apprentices, in an early story, deflect some kind of special metal arrows with their lightsabers. Mace Windu (I think, might've been someone else), in the Genndy cartoon also uses his lightsaber to deflect rapidfire... somethings that are either fucked up arrows, flechettes, or flying blades, with no melting issues.

>>43722492
What about RPGs?

>>43722492
>>43722427
I always assumed the bullets would be vaporized by the sheer heat of the blade, but doing so would be ill advised thanks to lead being toxic, and presumably lead VAPOR being much more so.

>>43722579

What I always imagined is that jedi have to swing in a large arc when blocking bullets so that they redirect the molten material away from their bodies.

Seriously. did anyone have one of the Graflex lightsaber toys as a kid? That grip is FUCKING HORRID.

Most of the lightsaber grips are pretty bad, just smooth metal. you know how slippery those things get with palm sweat? Leather bodied and knurling bodies the best.
