@Matt I see your dual phase double-bladed light whip, and raise your 4 dual phase light whips that can all combine, emitter to hilt, to increase range and power
@@GhostInTheShell77 it does, until I read a comment About Exar Kun's lightsaber. a double-bladed lightsaber that could only be held in one hand, was dual phase and could change length at will, AND could change power at will to be strong enough to cut through things lightsabers normally couldn't or made weak enough to pass through the users body without danger. That sounds far more terrifying.......and dang it imagination! Now I want to combine that with my saber idea and give it to a force sensitive version of General Grievous XD
Doubt they'll ever explain the dark saber's creation but my personal head cannon is that it's probably a crystal that was bled, healed, then bled again and repeated till it was led almost dead. I've always seen the saber as near death because of the black blade with wisps of white mixed in. To me that would also explain it growing heavier off the thoughts, emotions, and actions, almost like it's doing its best to keep itself alive while it's in use.
Someone said it's a compressed beskar alloy, you know when coal takes immense pressure before becoming a Diamond. Well there's a theory that he compressed the Besar into a Krystal like form. I really like this theory and honestly beilve it
I think it's just a black crystal. Never been bled, just showing off the uniqueness of it's design and rarity of it's creator. *Lucas however said he created it because he wanted Pre Vizla to have a really cool and unique weapon as the leader of Deathwatch
I love how in the Fallen Order that is how Cal defeats the 2nd sister the 1st time. He turned off his lightsaber and avoid her attack to counterattack. Got to love a Jedi using a dirty trick on an Inquisitor.
It sucks that Star Wars visions is completely ignored as it introduced new lightsaber types like the samurai blade style, the umbrella, and a few others. It even shows the light whip in action.
Eh, I think making it non-canon was a great idea. It let the creators have absolute creative freedom inside an already thoroughly defined universe, kinda like Marvel’s What If?
From what I've seen about lightsaber pikes (the double bladed, not the single bladed ones), they seem to be different from a regular double bladed lightsaber like the ones that Maul uses. Aside from being able to fold, the hilts seem longer while the blades are shorter, while the double bladed ones such as the one Maul uses looks like it has a shorter hilt than the lightsaber pikes, but longer blades.
It sounds like it is easier to use since there is less of a chance for you to harm yourselves with the blades plus with a longer grip you’d probably have a greater control of your strikes being able to vary the range and directions of your strikes
a good example of Saber Pikes are the ones wielded by the Knights of Zakuul and Senya Tirall in SWTOR but since its Legends, that may be why those examples werent used that or he doesnt know of those examples
*No.10 also could be Solari crystal powered. As these crystals were well known for making a much wider blade, perfect for blocking and/or parrying blaster bolts*
There is also the hilt saber, which is basically an Assassins Creed hidden blade but the blade itself is about average lightsaber length. It is considered “unsportsmanlike”/dishonorable since it is typically concealed under the big Jedi robes. I have only found a single official image with a short paragraph in one article on the subject of lightsaber types.
I think it could've been ok if they gave a satisfying answer that didn't depend on viewers not understanding what a lightsaber is. If they'd added a line that they were having trouble fighting properly because Malachor had an unusual magnetic field that pushes the plasma of a lightsaber blade away from it, then it could've worked.
The tonfa and spear variants are possibly my favorite unique lightsaber handle designs. The spear variant had a long shaft of a handle (approximately 5-6 feet) with a single short blade on one end. The blade was only said to be around 2 feet long. This increased reach gave profound advantages in combat, but if the opponent could close the gap, it would leave the spear user in a difficult predicament.
@@azeezbashir1734 It's a lesser variant of the lightsaber. It's only mentioned in a few instances throughout all forms of Star Wars media. It's not even a publicly recognized lightsaber variant, so it doesn't really hold a lot of weight in canon. It's also called the "lightpike" if that helps in your search (pretty much a lightsaber version of the forcepike used by Palatine's imperial guard). Sorry I can't give exact sources. I've seen it illustrated and heard people talking about it, but nothing concrete. I still think it's an interesting lightsaber design though.
the spear variant is also my favorite. If I were to make my own I would want it to have a cross guard similar to what is shown at 7:40, you would also be able to remove the blade from the shaft so you could use it as a regular lightsaber because both the spear and the saber has its advantages and disadvantages, lastly the shaft would be made of a lightsaber resistant metal(cortosis wouldn't do well because its brittle). perhaps it could even have another short blade on the other side.
I love medieval history and knights in general, so even though its design is not ideal in the SW universe, the cross guard Saber will always have a special place in my heart
Yeah, no. I'm no lightsaber expert but I doubt it would work. The only real advantage of that weapon seems to be that you can carry it more easily since you can fold it, I guess.
You might be able to decapitate someone with it. Like if you slice at the right side of their neck and they block it you can attack again from the left by folding your blade, while they are still preoccupied with your first attack
Finally!!! A full list of the lightsabers including the extended universe ones. Most casual fans never realize how many cool and unique sabers there are
This was such a cool video, just discovered your channel and I loved this video and the last one about lightsaber colours, these are really interesting and I'd look forward to more like a video on blastets, droids, ships, other gear or any other world building really
Personally, I really like the Broadsaber, it should probably work with forms 2, 3, 4, and 5 as well, because a longsword (which is what the saber is based upon) are precise and great for defense or counterattacks, along with that the light weight (of the broadsaber, of course) and blade like design making faster attacks, along with being Aerodynamic
Side note, while jedi temple guards sabers are noted as being "lightsaber pikes", when comparing their sabers (hinged double bladed sabers) with real world pikes, i don't consider them pikes. Not sure why they are referred to as pikes in universe, as when you look up lightsaber pikes ypu get two very different weapons: the temple guard saber, and what I would consider fits the role of a "lightsaber pike" alot better. That of a staff with a shorter blade (a few feet in length at most) on the end of it. In the end, its another thing about star wars where the lore is weird, or not explained well. (Did some more research, and as usual we have more info from legends than Canon lol) in legends, a lightsaber pike is an actual pike. A long staff like melee weapon with a shorter blade on one end. The temple guards weapons being referred to as pikes is also directly put into question. (as to why. They are definitely labeled pikes) I wonder if the original author who introduced them as 'pikes' either did it because it sounded cool, or because they didn't actually know what a pike looked like.
From what I've seen about lightsaber pikes (the double bladed, not the single bladed ones), they seem to be different from a regular double bladed lightsaber like the ones that Maul uses. Aside from being able to fold, the hilts seem longer while the blades are shorter, while the double bladed ones such as the one Maul uses looks like it has a shorter hilt than the lightsaber pikes, but longer blades.
And its also extremely effective. In most cases where you get into a bind with an opponent, you have a free line of fire. This forces other force users to fight in a way they are just not used to and puts you into an advantage. Jedi in general prefer to use non-lethal force which is quite hard with a normal saber, thus leading to enemies escaping. In this case the integrated stun function helps a lot.
I think the "split saber" should have been given its own segment, even if the only canon users of the functionality are Asaj Ventress and Cal Kestis, with the two of them sorely underutilizing the functionality in their respective source material.
Hey, that protosaber at the end (Tagge's Protosaber) was pretty neat! I wouldn't mind seeing what it would look like if it was a perfected lightsaber tool. Maybe it would produce a blade like the Darksaber or Broadsaber. "Light Foils" was certainly interesting, kinda like the dueling rapiers of lightsabers - damaging but not necessarily deadly. Every other hilt I kinda knew about but it was always nice to get a refresher and maybe see some lightsabers I missed.
I would like to add info about Exar Kuns lightsaber. While it is legends now, we do have more info about it. It was an incredibly complex creation and most likely the deadliest design by far. An important thing to note about the lightsaber is that it was designed by possibly the greatest lightsaber duelist of all time. Exar Kun was an incredible duelist and extremely arrogant about it. However it was not for nothing as he was only ever defeated as a jedi by his instructor but later killed him after his fall. Exar Kun was essentially a type of Bruce Lee for the Jedi and studied form VI extensively. While often known as being a jack of all trades but master of none style, that was not the intent for the style. It was meant to be a starting point for a duelist to integrate what worked for them personally from the other styles. Much like the MMA of today and this factored into his lightsaber design. After falling to the dark side Exar Kun redesigned his lightsaber from a traditional single hilt to the infamous double sided lightsaber. It still had the same hilt length as a single bladed lightsaber as he did not use it the same way as others would come to use it in the future. He used it as a way to keep his opponents on the back foot and attack from unexpected angles. He would primaraly use it single sided but would alternate which end was ignited during the fight. It also included two other features that he would weave in to his fights on the fly. One was the dual phase, where he could double or half the length of either blade. The other was a power intensity control, so he could intensify his blades power to cut through materials that normally deflected lightsabers and he could also reduce the power so that while the blade remained it would pass harmlessly through anything, even other lightsabers. He would combine these elements in his most difficult duels but unless he considered his opponent worthy, and he rarely did, he would stick with a traditional style of use. However, when he would combine a constantly shifting blade with his signature adaptive style of dueling it is no wonder he was such a deadly duelist. Imagine trying to fight someone who's lightsaber constantly changed sizes, sides and intensity while also never being sure if the blade coming at you was even able to be blocked. In my opinion, this was the deadliest trick in his arsenal. He would often pass the blade through his own body to attack from a normally impossible angle. The split second decision making needed to determine if he had made the blade solid or not could end the duel immediately. It was never seen in full swing as his arragonce grew and would most often overpower his opponents far before ever needing to consider using its other features. It is one of the coolest lightsaber designs and I hope that we get to see it in full action in canon and that the creators are able to fully utilize all aspects of it as it would make an amazing spectacle to behold.
Okay, that is a badass lightsaber and dueling style. And I thought my idea for a a dual phase emitter to hilt combining lightwhip was awesome. Imagine if Grievous had 4 of Exar Kun's lightsaber 😱
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 While it would be amazing I am not sure even a machine could handle the timings needed to pull off that style. Exar Kun relied heavily on the force to know the timings and even operate the switches with precise timings. If Obi-Wan could get through Grievous defenses then I am pretty sure he is not fast enough to effectively use Exar Kuns lightsaber style. I believe that when Kreia talks about the "old lightsaber masters" and how modern Jedi are "as children comared to them" she is talking about Exar Kun and those who could at least attempt to challenge him. I think though what truly made Exar Kun the best was his ability to adapt and decieve his opponents into a false sense of security when he was ten steps ahead of them in the lightsaber duel. Kind of how chess masters play them game, Exar Kun was predicting their movements way ahead and so he knew how to lead them into the perfect position to deal the killing blow. For example, from my own understanding and interpretation, he would leave a slight opening in his left side (or some other barely detectable weakness in form) that his skilled opponents would pick up on but later in the duel Exar Kun would let that slight opening up a bit bigger knowing that they have been waiting for it and since he knows where they will strike and how, he would counter and deliver a mortal blow. The extra features of his lightsaber were tools to enhance his existing style. I think if a modern Jedi/Sith tried to use something similar they would fall into a trap of focusing too much on the "gimmick" and lose to a more skilled opponent. Exar Kun understood that a gimmick could only take you so far and if you rely on it too much it will be your downfall, especially if you find yourself without your lightsaber.
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 I thought about it a bit more after replying and maybe saying Grievous couldn't handle it wasn't fair. I think its more a problem that the Force is predictive in nature. So a suffeciently skilled Jedi/Sith would always win against a non-Force user. Grievous was impressive and killed many Jedi but usually (at least what we have seen from the Clone Wars series) not alone and not in a contest of pure skill. It doesn't matter how fast you can strike or move if your opponent already knows what you are going to do. You could be moving at light speeds but if a person is able to know where that strike is going to hit then they can dodge it. It's how people who catch arrows and stuff blindfolded do it. Not to diminish the skill and impressive speed and reflexes needed to pull it off though. Grievous was the perfect tool for Sidious as he was extremely effective and underhanded but easily dealt with if he went rogue or when his usefullness came to an end. I am sure Grievous would have thouroughly enjoyed the tricky nature of Exar Kuns style though. I wonder if it actually would be enough of an edge to beat a Jedi/Sith head on? The Force is predictive but it also relies on the user to react correctly as well. Obi-Wan was a remarkable Jedi because he would just let the Force guide his actions and movements totally. I think he somewhat envied Anakins agency when doing stuff but it's one of the reasons Obi-Wan was able to defeat Grievous. He let the Force guide him into the right situations to defeat him. I really liked the novelization of Revenge of the Sith because it really expanded on the inner thoughts and motivations of the characters. IMO it was the OG salvation of the movie before Filoni helped flesh out the prequel era. It really showed how effed the Jedi were because of their own choices and how lost they were with the cloud of the Dark Side preventing them from seeing the bigger picture. Like Kreia said "What is a Jedi without the Force? Watch as one tries to hold a lightsaber or a blaster. They are like a lost child."
I’m watching this to know what lightsaber to get from target to use in my upcoming video on the lightsaber combat styles Edit: I’ll leave a link in the description to this video because it was a real help on picking which lightsaber I wanted
tonfa sabres would be so good for the form 3 (iirc). The much shorter range but far more agile stance is perfect for someone who waits for their opponent to come to them. Some of the stuff real life martial artists can do with them is insane.
You forgot one. The switch saber. Used by cal kestis, a double bladed lightsaber that can split in half to form two lightsabers. I don’t know much of comics so he’s the only person I know who wields it
I personally rock a light foil style lightsaber With ( keyblade used by Riku When he was controlled by ansem during the 1st game but only one side of the keyblade hand guard ) style hand guard With a protruding solid spike on the pommel. In its lore it is made out of beskar Coated in Frick and then cortosis on the outer layer except the emitter end. With a pink dantooine crystal. The handle total length without the handguard spike on it Just a little over 11" long so it's a hand and a 1/2 So I can use it one handed or I can use it too handed very easily, And because the handguard is made out of the same exact materials as the Hilt It is lightsaber resistant And I can block with the handguard as well And unless they hit within the 1st 2 mm Of the emitter shroud itself, That lightsaber is technically lightsaber blade proof. Only something like a lava blade lightsaber or something that has been incredibly infused with the dark side like exar kun which Could supposably cut through beskar Or something similar to how star killer With how he could Channel force lightning Throughout the entire lightsaber and not shorted out, Would I have to worry about anything. And by the gods In the Star Wars tabletop game I played that thing Saved my booty so many times in fights, Because I could have a successful block pretty much everywhere on the entire blade including the handle no unless someone did something like the phase blade And/or turned off their blade and then reignited it right after they got past my blade.
What I don't know is why Ezra Bridger doesn't fire off his lightasbers blaster while in a duel, imagine it, him and a inquisiter, lightsabers locked in a epic duel and then.... BOOM he shoots the inquisiter, nobody would expect it!
Assuming there was only one energy source or whatever, the weapon could probably not afford shooting while also having to constantly power a saber blade.
If anything the broadsaber is much more refined than the conventional lightsaber, wich in comparison is a much more barbaric weapon, since it doesn't require edge alignment.
Ive had a cool idea for a light saber that pretty much incorporates count dookus curved hilt and ezras blaster saber. So this is how it would work: the hilt would kinda be like dooku's but mor curved at the end to ack like a handle/grip to use the blaster part. How it would shoot is it would fire out the emitter and be like a charged shot. There would be like a trigger that pops out when you switch it to blaster mode. (The only way i could interpret how the blaster mode would work/look like is basically like a light saber flint lock thing
my dream lightsabers would be a pair of sickle bladed saber blasters with a curved hilt, with bifurcating cycical- ignition pulse and dual phase installed. the blaster part would be a mandalorian ripper. the saber will be powered by 3 ghost fire kyber crystals, 2 for the saber 1 for the blaster. for completely silent sith assassin weapon. the weapon would be made of pure beskar just like the dark saber and the hand guard/ blaster would be coated with Cortosis over the beskar. the weapon shape will be cross between a mek'leth from star trek and a shotel sword
I would use a collapsable force pike like Senya’s from the old republic game and I would I would make the staff out of something light saber resistant.
My headcanon with the Darksaber is that it is a unique white lightsaber that due to its design has a black center, similar to how other lightsabers no matter the color have a white center.
7:35 this makes more sense for a cross guard, because the kylo ren way would probably be cut through if it wasn't made of one of the rare materials that can resist lightsabers
Lughtaber-copters weird take: like them in animation, would probably hate them in live action. And I'm totally ok with them existing in different mediums of the canon.
Hello. I think you forgot to mention the Crystal Saber in Lego Star Wars: The Freemason Adventures. It was an important item during the first season too.
@StarForceOne I wanted to ask your permission to do videos based off this fantastic video and mine is worded different so basically mine are called what are your favourite Lightsaber Types and Variant
The saber copters are cool but impossible then again, I don’t remember telekinetic monks with laser swords fighting shriveled old men with tasers in their hands so it isn’t meant to be realistic
What nobody actually tells you. But you can find this if you look hard enough. The darksaber does not have a crystal in it. The mandalorians were the most technologically-advanced race in the known Galaxy. They were so technologically advanced that Tarre Vizsla was able to harness the power of a quantum singularity and his blade. That's why it was so feared. Because if you held in normal lightsaber blade to it eventually the darksaber blade would eat straight through that lightsaber blade. This is why if you swing the darksaber fast enough, it will separate the electrons from the air and create a crackle of lightning as it is swung hard. It is the only saber that can cut through Bhaskar armor like a broadsword cuts through a sapling. That's why it also admits a slightly white glow. That's because just like with any quantum singularity, there is an event horizon that you can visually see if close enough. The Ambient Energy is stripped from the air around it. That's why it's the only lightsaber I have ever wanted. Because it's the most powerful lightsaber ever created or possibly even the most powerful lightsaber that will ever be created!😳 but then again, let's see if you know more than me.😉

I think saber-coptors are fine for small jumps less then a few meters. However I hate how it was portrayed for flight in rebels.
I agree, it should have been used for slower falling and short jumps
Exactly but even then you can just use the force to do both of those so it’s extremely unnecessary

I wonder if the original author who introduced them as 'pikes' either did it because it sounded cool, or because they didn't actually know what a pike looked like.
I definitely would consider the temple guards sabers as hinged double sabers, a pike is actually a spear, a spear that is 10 to 20 feet in length
From what I've seen about lightsaber pikes (the double bladed, not the single bladed ones), they seem to be different from a regular double bladed lightsaber like the ones that Maul uses. Aside from being able to fold, the hilts seem longer while the blades are shorter, while the double bladed ones such as the one Maul uses looks like it has a shorter hilt than the lightsaber pikes, but longer blades.
Who else remembers baby Kit Fisto showing up in the first Men in Black movie?
I thought the exact same thing!!! 😂
The lightsaber blaster is my favorite honestly, it's just so cool and fitting for Ezra.
And its also extremely effective. In most cases where you get into a bind with an opponent, you have a free line of fire. This forces other force users to fight in a way they are just not used to and puts you into an advantage.
Jedi in general prefer to use non-lethal force which is quite hard with a normal saber, thus leading to enemies escaping. In this case the integrated stun function helps a lot.
I think the "split saber" should have been given its own segment, even if the only canon users of the functionality are Asaj Ventress and Cal Kestis, with the two of them sorely underutilizing the functionality in their respective source material.
Hey, that protosaber at the end (Tagge's Protosaber) was pretty neat! I wouldn't mind seeing what it would look like if it was a perfected lightsaber tool. Maybe it would produce a blade like the Darksaber or Broadsaber. "Light Foils" was certainly interesting, kinda like the dueling rapiers of lightsabers - damaging but not necessarily deadly. Every other hilt I kinda knew about but it was always nice to get a refresher and maybe see some lightsabers I missed.
I would make a double bladed light saber that can extend into a saber pike. The hilt of course would be made of light saber resistant materials.
In the Force Unleashed video game there's another variant of the light saber pike, a staff with a shoto length blade coming from the top.
Yep, it’s awesome but this vid only covers canon blades 😁
My choice of a lightsaber is the same hilt as the one Obi-One have at the Gienosis arena but with a yellow blade.
And a curved hilt with a green blade
A cross guard is actually really cool
It’s like a real life middle evil sword with the guard of the sword being able to be used for defense purposes
I would like to add info about Exar Kuns lightsaber. While it is legends now, we do have more info about it. It was an incredibly complex creation and most likely the deadliest design by far. An important thing to note about the lightsaber is that it was designed by possibly the greatest lightsaber duelist of all time. Exar Kun was an incredible duelist and extremely arrogant about it. However it was not for nothing as he was only ever defeated as a jedi by his instructor but later killed him after his fall. Exar Kun was essentially a type of Bruce Lee for the Jedi and studied form VI extensively. While often known as being a jack of all trades but master of none style, that was not the intent for the style. It was meant to be a starting point for a duelist to integrate what worked for them personally from the other styles. Much like the MMA of today and this factored into his lightsaber design. After falling to the dark side Exar Kun redesigned his lightsaber from a traditional single hilt to the infamous double sided lightsaber. It still had the same hilt length as a single bladed lightsaber as he did not use it the same way as others would come to use it in the future. He used it as a way to keep his opponents on the back foot and attack from unexpected angles. He would primaraly use it single sided but would alternate which end was ignited during the fight. It also included two other features that he would weave in to his fights on the fly. One was the dual phase, where he could double or half the length of either blade. The other was a power intensity control, so he could intensify his blades power to cut through materials that normally deflected lightsabers and he could also reduce the power so that while the blade remained it would pass harmlessly through anything, even other lightsabers. He would combine these elements in his most difficult duels but unless he considered his opponent worthy, and he rarely did, he would stick with a traditional style of use. However, when he would combine a constantly shifting blade with his signature adaptive style of dueling it is no wonder he was such a deadly duelist. Imagine trying to fight someone who's lightsaber constantly changed sizes, sides and intensity while also never being sure if the blade coming at you was even able to be blocked. In my opinion, this was the deadliest trick in his arsenal. He would often pass the blade through his own body to attack from a normally impossible angle. The split second decision making needed to determine if he had made the blade solid or not could end the duel immediately. It was never seen in full swing as his arragonce grew and would most often overpower his opponents far before ever needing to consider using its other features. It is one of the coolest lightsaber designs and I hope that we get to see it in full action in canon and that the creators are able to fully utilize all aspects of it as it would make an amazing spectacle to behold.
Okay, that is a badass lightsaber and dueling style. And I thought my idea for a a dual phase emitter to hilt combining lightwhip was awesome. Imagine if Grievous had 4 of Exar Kun's lightsaber 😱
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 While it would be amazing I am not sure even a machine could handle the timings needed to pull off that style. Exar Kun relied heavily on the force to know the timings and even operate the switches with precise timings. If Obi-Wan could get through Grievous defenses then I am pretty sure he is not fast enough to effectively use Exar Kuns lightsaber style. I believe that when Kreia talks about the "old lightsaber masters" and how modern Jedi are "as children comared to them" she is talking about Exar Kun and those who could at least attempt to challenge him. I think though what truly made Exar Kun the best was his ability to adapt and decieve his opponents into a false sense of security when he was ten steps ahead of them in the lightsaber duel. Kind of how chess masters play them game, Exar Kun was predicting their movements way ahead and so he knew how to lead them into the perfect position to deal the killing blow. For example, from my own understanding and interpretation, he would leave a slight opening in his left side (or some other barely detectable weakness in form) that his skilled opponents would pick up on but later in the duel Exar Kun would let that slight opening up a bit bigger knowing that they have been waiting for it and since he knows where they will strike and how, he would counter and deliver a mortal blow. The extra features of his lightsaber were tools to enhance his existing style. I think if a modern Jedi/Sith tried to use something similar they would fall into a trap of focusing too much on the "gimmick" and lose to a more skilled opponent. Exar Kun understood that a gimmick could only take you so far and if you rely on it too much it will be your downfall, especially if you find yourself without your lightsaber.
@@XionDarkblood13 fair enough
@@porakiyadraekojin3390 I thought about it a bit more after replying and maybe saying Grievous couldn't handle it wasn't fair. I think its more a problem that the Force is predictive in nature. So a suffeciently skilled Jedi/Sith would always win against a non-Force user. Grievous was impressive and killed many Jedi but usually (at least what we have seen from the Clone Wars series) not alone and not in a contest of pure skill. It doesn't matter how fast you can strike or move if your opponent already knows what you are going to do. You could be moving at light speeds but if a person is able to know where that strike is going to hit then they can dodge it. It's how people who catch arrows and stuff blindfolded do it. Not to diminish the skill and impressive speed and reflexes needed to pull it off though. Grievous was the perfect tool for Sidious as he was extremely effective and underhanded but easily dealt with if he went rogue or when his usefullness came to an end. I am sure Grievous would have thouroughly enjoyed the tricky nature of Exar Kuns style though. I wonder if it actually would be enough of an edge to beat a Jedi/Sith head on? The Force is predictive but it also relies on the user to react correctly as well. Obi-Wan was a remarkable Jedi because he would just let the Force guide his actions and movements totally. I think he somewhat envied Anakins agency when doing stuff but it's one of the reasons Obi-Wan was able to defeat Grievous. He let the Force guide him into the right situations to defeat him. I really liked the novelization of Revenge of the Sith because it really expanded on the inner thoughts and motivations of the characters. IMO it was the OG salvation of the movie before Filoni helped flesh out the prequel era. It really showed how effed the Jedi were because of their own choices and how lost they were with the cloud of the Dark Side preventing them from seeing the bigger picture. Like Kreia said "What is a Jedi without the Force? Watch as one tries to hold a lightsaber or a blaster. They are like a lost child."
I love Ezra Bridger’s lightsaber in season 1-season 2 because it can do bast stun bolts
I’m watching this to know what lightsaber to get from target to use in my upcoming video on the lightsaber combat styles
Edit: I’ll leave a link in the description to this video because it was a real help on picking which lightsaber I wanted
tonfa sabres would be so good for the form 3 (iirc). The much shorter range but far more agile stance is perfect for someone who waits for their opponent to come to them. Some of the stuff real life martial artists can do with them is insane.
Such great video, when I'm bored I always come to your video. Keep the content up!!
You forgot one. The switch saber. Used by cal kestis, a double bladed lightsaber that can split in half to form two lightsabers. I don’t know much of comics so he’s the only person I know who wields it
I personally rock a light foil style lightsaber With ( keyblade used by Riku When he was controlled by ansem during the 1st game but only one side of the keyblade hand guard ) style hand guard With a protruding solid spike on the pommel.
In its lore it is made out of beskar Coated in Frick and then cortosis on the outer layer except the emitter end. With a pink dantooine crystal. The handle total length without the handguard spike on it Just a little over 11" long so it's a hand and a 1/2 So I can use it one handed or I can use it too handed very easily, And because the handguard is made out of the same exact materials as the Hilt It is lightsaber resistant And I can block with the handguard as well And unless they hit within the 1st 2 mm Of the emitter shroud itself, That lightsaber is technically lightsaber blade proof.
Only something like a lava blade lightsaber or something that has been incredibly infused with the dark side like exar kun which Could supposably cut through beskar Or something similar to how star killer With how he could Channel force lightning Throughout the entire lightsaber and not shorted out, Would I have to worry about anything.
And by the gods In the Star Wars tabletop game I played that thing Saved my booty so many times in fights, Because I could have a successful block pretty much everywhere on the entire blade including the handle no unless someone did something like the phase blade And/or turned off their blade and then reignited it right after they got past my blade.
Did anyone think of the Helikopter meme when he talks about the double bladed spinning lightsaber?😆
I just love the cross guard lightsaber
I love this channel!
I love number 8 its the G.O.A.T
If I had to choose a lightsaber for myself it would be a lightsaber pike what the Jedi temple guards use
This video is awesome and helped me learn more about the star wars weapons you rock dude 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What I don't know is why Ezra Bridger doesn't fire off his lightasbers blaster while in a duel, imagine it, him and a inquisiter, lightsabers locked in a epic duel and then.... BOOM he shoots the inquisiter, nobody would expect it!
I thought the same thing
I think the blaster could only be used if the blade was retracted
@@JacobDrosdick I guess that makes sense, maybe the flow of energy from the lightsaber blocked the blaster energy mechanism.
Assuming there was only one energy source or whatever, the weapon could probably not afford shooting while also having to constantly power a saber blade.
he might just be too inexperienced to do that
this is really cool. as a fire fanatic I would absolutely love the lava crystal lightsaber
I personally liked the Lightsaber Scythe..wonder if it comes in "Black"??
Number 7: Lightsaber Helicopter 🚁
If anything the broadsaber is much more refined than the conventional lightsaber, wich in comparison is a much more barbaric weapon, since it doesn't require edge alignment.
love the flickering blade
What about the lightsaber pike used by the soldiers of the eternal empire? The extendable version is probably my favorite lightsaber.
Ive had a cool idea for a light saber that pretty much incorporates count dookus curved hilt and ezras blaster saber. So this is how it would work: the hilt would kinda be like dooku's but mor curved at the end to ack like a handle/grip to use the blaster part. How it would shoot is it would fire out the emitter and be like a charged shot. There would be like a trigger that pops out when you switch it to blaster mode. (The only way i could interpret how the blaster mode would work/look like is basically like a light saber flint lock thing
The inqiuzator spinning lightsaber got me sayin “HELICOPTER HELICOPTER’’
General grievous always said a fine addition to my collection ahh the old days
Black blade and the pale white electro-shock weapons on the Robot and Stormtropers are quite special.
Great video great Star Wars movie 🎥
Thank You. Awsome info!
my dream lightsabers would be a pair of sickle bladed saber blasters with a curved hilt, with bifurcating cycical- ignition pulse and dual phase installed. the blaster part would be a mandalorian ripper. the saber will be powered by 3 ghost fire kyber crystals, 2 for the saber 1 for the blaster. for completely silent sith assassin weapon. the weapon would be made of pure beskar just like the dark saber and the hand guard/ blaster would be coated with Cortosis over the beskar. the weapon shape will be cross between a mek'leth from star trek and a shotel sword
This will be perfect for my collection
Do we also include Ahsoka's unique curved lightsabers that are more so Katana curved based?
I like how he snickered a bit when talking about how the Inquisitor lightsabers can be used as helicopter blades.
This video teaches me more than school.
Ashoka also had curved hilts on her white sabers.
Yes, true, but not as curved as some others although they look that way
The Inquisitor’s must love the Helicopter meme
I would use a collapsable force pike like Senya’s from the old republic game and I would I would make the staff out of something light saber resistant.
My headcanon with the Darksaber is that it is a unique white lightsaber that due to its design has a black center, similar to how other lightsabers no matter the color have a white center.
7:35 this makes more sense for a cross guard, because the kylo ren way would probably be cut through if it wasn't made of one of the rare materials that can resist lightsabers
I'm surprised there aren't more spear types. The spear is an extremely OP weapon.
I would use a curved hilt but similar to the inquisitors along with the option of making the hilt longer, the blade would be cyan in color
What about that Zig Zag shaped one from Legends?
The saber-copter is cool
gotta love how for some people saber chopper cross the line for them
in a world were people can shot lighting out their hand
So glad Exar Kun's saber, my favorite, was mentioned. Gets skipped so often in these lists.
Glad you enjoyed the vid. Exar's saber is extremely cool!
In legends I think it was a double bladed lightsaber in a single blade sized handle, but they could be turned on independently
Favorite thing in Survivor is the greatsaber with cross guard
Lightsaber tonfa is probably my favorite
2:57 You Accidentally Forgot Jedi Temple Guards Used Folding Sabers Too
My favorite types of Star wars sabers are Lightsaber, Curved saber, Lightsaber Rifle, & Saber staff.
Cal Kestis' dual wield stance also changed the length of the saber in his left hand. it became shorter with that stance
GREAT JOB !!
its 2 in the morning and i am watching lightsaber videos
No better way to spend your 2am honestly haha
Inquisitors be like: helicopter helicopter
Lughtaber-copters weird take: like them in animation, would probably hate them in live action. And I'm totally ok with them existing in different mediums of the canon.
Forgot Proto saber that require pack ,Saber Spear/pole arm used by red guard of Sidious and Sith Guard .Then Saber Spike armor used by Sith as Well .
The lightsabre blaster reminds me of the weapon from Ulyssess 31.
15: the SIR GET DOWN light saber
sabercopters!
@StarForceOne Wow, I didn't know there were so many different light sabers. I found this video to be most intriguing, so many to choose from.
The hinged double bladed saber is also used by the Jedi temple guards to protect the secrets of the Jedi.
It's funny I bet there would tiny percentage off that like #15. I'm among that tiny percentage lol. It's my all time favorite.
Hello. I think you forgot to mention the Crystal Saber in Lego Star Wars: The Freemason Adventures. It was an important item during the first season too.
#18 is Mace Windu’s worst nightmare
Fantastic video buddy and can I get your permission for something
@StarForceOne I wanted to ask your permission to do videos based off this fantastic video and mine is worded different so basically mine are called what are your favourite Lightsaber Types and Variant
I'd use a cross guard lightsaber blaster
Same ❗ the cross gaurd lightsaber looks Lit 🔥🔥🔥
Some robots using the semi-light saber weapons are also needed to talk in the variants.
The saber copters are cool but impossible then again, I don’t remember telekinetic monks with laser swords fighting shriveled old men with tasers in their hands so it isn’t meant to be realistic
What nobody actually tells you. But you can find this if you look hard enough. The darksaber does not have a crystal in it. The mandalorians were the most technologically-advanced race in the known Galaxy. They were so technologically advanced that Tarre Vizsla was able to harness the power of a quantum singularity and his blade. That's why it was so feared. Because if you held in normal lightsaber blade to it eventually the darksaber blade would eat straight through that lightsaber blade. This is why if you swing the darksaber fast enough, it will separate the electrons from the air and create a crackle of lightning as it is swung hard. It is the only saber that can cut through Bhaskar armor like a broadsword cuts through a sapling. That's why it also admits a slightly white glow. That's because just like with any quantum singularity, there is an event horizon that you can visually see if close enough. The Ambient Energy is stripped from the air around it. That's why it's the only lightsaber I have ever wanted. Because it's the most powerful lightsaber ever created or possibly even the most powerful lightsaber that will ever be created!😳 but then again, let's see if you know more than me.😉
Current holder of the dark saber is Bo-Katan Kryze.
