atsonicpark 05.18.2010 01:51 AM

gunblade I guess.

pbradley 05.18.2010 04:02 AM

I'm rather apathetic about owning any sword but, for variety's sake, I'll say Siefreid's Gram.

 

Toilet & Bowels 05.18.2010 04:43 AM

tw2113 05.18.2010 05:25 AM

Lurker 05.18.2010 07:58 AM

My mind is a pastime.

I would never want a sword that's been forged for another, as it could and would not ever be bound to me.

that said, these things (at least the legendary kind), name themselves.

for now, I'll call it Fluxcapacitor.

even lightsabers require that their force-crystals be attuned/aligned to the specific force emanations of the user.

you can't just "pick one up".

sayin'.

don't blame ME for breaking the continuum, or being able to quote from the "expanded" universe.

Han Solo does not 'yield' the force!

maybe you should start calling them LAZERSWORDS though!

Quote:

In the early incarnations of the Star Wars storyline, lightsabers were not exclusive to the Jedi and other Force-users, but were in fact very mundane. Early concept art depicts lightsabers being wielded by Rebel and Imperial soldiers alike. George Lucas later limited the lightsabers to exclusively the Jedi in order to make them feel more unique, and heighten the mystique of the Jedi.[26] Also, in early drafts of the script, lightsabers were referred to as "lazerswords".
Crystals first appear in Star Wars simply as an embedded decoration on the hilt in the A New Hope novelization.[27] Aside from this single instance, there are no crystals mentioned in any of the movies or their novelizations.[27]

everything changed after Empire Strikes Back. that was the point where Lucas realized that he actually could sell all of his movies. before that, he didn't think that there be anything after "V" (let alone A New Hope). after that, he decided to gain a strangle-hold on content. anything published in books, comics, games, etc. became canon. the most noticeable deviation is Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Minds Eye. THAT book is all kinds of fucked up...


 


we should talk about the new Star Trek movie and what THAT did to the future-past...

I start at the original theatrical trilogy and go from there, though I've enjoyed quite a bit of Expanded Universe novels.

I've always kind of thought that the reason only force users use them would be because a non-force user wouldn't be quick enough with them to easily deflect blasters, or for that matter, move in close enough.

And anyways, an Ysalamir won't prevent a lightsaber from turning on.

I'm convinced that all expanded sci-fi universes have built-in incongruencies, so that geeks can timelessly quible over details on the net (and thereby provide free press).

not really a sword....more like a large hunk of iron.

Lurker 05.19.2010 05:06 AM

This is the worst thread in fucking ages.

Lurker 05.19.2010 05:07 AM

Plus, are pork swords fictional??

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.19.2010 09:42 AM

Lady Gaga's is. Supposedly.

The point where Lucas lost it was when he thought the whole Jedi thing was what made the first Star Wars great. It wasn't. Han Solo, Chewbacca, Tusken Raiders, Stormtroopers, the Death Star, C3P0 and R2D2, X Wing Fighters, the Millennium Falcon, Imperial Cruisers, the monster in that garbage vault. I never gave a shit about the Force. The Star Wars saga went down hill with the introduction of Yoda.

Stop trying to impress Samual L. Jackson and get out of the way of that brilliant Imperial cruiser, you silly Jedi twat.

You can't beat a gigantic sword filled with the power of dead evil spirits. This is the only giant sword I would wield. I'm more fond of thinner blades...like samurai swords...
