General grievous: oh i just put it on a display in my home
I also loved the fact Christopher Lee actually influenced the design of dookus light saber. From his fencing days . That's so cool
That’s Sir Christopher Lee my friend
And his bloodline ancestors also had something to do with it. Lee is the epitomy of a Prodigy that forfilled and exeeded all human potential.
@@xrstevenson he directly traced his lineage to Charlemagne. That's street cred.
When filming Lord of the Rings, Christopher Lee already knew his part because he reread the trilogy every year. It just adds to the coolness.
@@eatmorenachos Sigh, when actors had pride in the roles instead of an agenda.
Im pretty sure Palpatine's lightsaber had a prick on the outside too
That’s what Sheev said
that saber is definitely shaped like one when emitter is facing down
Phrik AND prick.
@@qchang09 Darth Plageous, “What a nice nap. Wait, what’s pinching me?”
Sidious, “Sorry. But there can be only one Sith Lord.” (Activates lightsaber)
Homeless Death Sticks users find them, pawn them, and go on a two week high.
Yes this as well 🤣
Only 2 weeks a light saber should be worth at least 2 years of death sticks
@@alexneff 2 months
Wanna buy some?
@kardona_3 I don't know who you get your death sticks from but I want his number
Short Answer: *The Lightsaber of a fallen Jedi becomes a fine addition to General Grievous’ Collection*
At the incenration of the sabers I’ve always wondered about 2 things. 1. What could that furnace possibly be made of.
2. I imagine some random patrol ship flying above and getting instantly obliterated by the skybeam.
Im wondering how Huyang would have reacted to Ezra's first Lightsaber Blaster Pistol
with disapproval and than reluctant acceptance
All previously owned lightsabers are donated to the General Grievous Foundation, which helps give them a new home, where they’ll be fed, washed and taken very good care of.
I dont remember exactly where it was but in the EU it was stated when Corran found his grandfather's lightsaber, he was walking through a hall of dead jedi and trying to turn on their lightsabers. The only lightsaber that turned on was his grandfather's, and that was how he found out about his family history and that lightsabers stop working when the bloodline ends
Well I recently got into contact with a story teller in the galaxy who stated that a tall robotic being with a loud cough was spotted which was revealed to be Grevious and the person stated how there was a rumor that Grevious had a time machine so he could collect Jedi lightsabers from even hundreds of years ago for his collections which explains why most lightsabers in the past dissappeared
Grevious isn't canon anymore. Get over it. 🙃
@@adambrown3918 what the heck do you mean? Did you not see Revenge of the Sith or Clone Wars or Tales Of The Empire with the Elzbeth episodes? Grevious is canon
@@adambrown3918what? Grievous is canon?
@@adambrown3918 Disney retconning him is probably a wet dream they have
He's actually shorter than you'd expect.
Added to the collection.
I’m picturing a vault where the fallen Jedi’s lightsabers were held
Grevious would probably explode from sensory overload if he got inside
Vault 87 with vault tech experimenting with them to make a self toasting butter knife.
George Lucas' basement
@@cjt9938 you mean vault tech?
Yeah , in Vader's castle.
Unless you’re strong enough to keep a Jedi/sith from taking it. Sell it fast or lock it away somewhere away from your base of operations. It will call to someone you probably don’t want to be bothered with
Keep is secret, keep it safe!
I'll remember that next time I find a lightsaber
Unless that's your plan. You could build up a fine collection of lightsabers by luring other Jedi into your trap
Imagine being a Jedi getting slain by general grievous with your friends lightsaber harnessing their essence? That’s how savage Grievous was.
Who actually made the components of these well crafted weapons? I’ve only see them being assembled, not forged.
good question :)
There’s probably some planet like Illum where they’re manufactured, or a specific Jedi position like “forgemaster”
or jedi craft them from garbage collected from old blasters
I wouldn't call them light-side Jedi if they basically used harsh slave labor to mine the rare metals and see life as a mistake. IMO, the council should have officially died in the 2nd era.
Some Jedi would have made them themselves. Others would have had local artisans and fabricators make individual components to their design.
Thank you for presenting information the way it used to be done. I’m 52 and remember the news giving us information, we made up our own minds. Here is a “Theory “, you know the person, sometimes information is “given “ a different way than when it was given a short time ago. Now some don’t want ridicule for what they like so they say it’s all bad. My “Theory “ is they went this direction to get support and possible financial gain to get what they want done at the cost of their character. Some will understand what I’m saying without saying because I want you all to be honest with yourselves and that is very difficult, see both sides, they both have merit to an extent.
For those wanting to learn more about Prik, the metal in Palpatine's saber, there is a book called Star Wars Republic Commando: Triple Zero. In the early chapters of the book, Delta squad raids a droid refinery producing B2 battle droids made of prik. The book is legends material, but it has some good descriptions of the metal and its resistances.
One of my favorite lightsabers was created by Corran Horn in Legacy Star Wars. He was a member of CorSec... Corellian security, and a whole lot more. He constructed his lightsaber using part of a speederbike handle, including the throttle. It was a dual phase... two different blade lengths, one of which was silver. Younger fans should track down and read Legacy Star Wars novels. They're worth it...
novel, " .. I, Jedi..."
What, are you serious ?! You wreaked your New speeder and set yourself on fire ! No, no, no, no more beer for you tonight, off to bed !
16:45 that means that the information that Hondo has is absolutely PRICELESS now. :D
Forget precious metals to mock, I'd have a hilt guard made of _Cortosis._
very smart
Wouldn't Beskar make more sense? Contact with Cortosis would short it out.
@@lw1391 not if only the outer part of the hilt is made out of it
If the Force foresees a Jedi will need to short out the sabers of opponents, then yes, but I think even outer casing is very Force-influenced. Gungi had a wood shell because he had a connection to trees, and more than likely, Tarre Vizsla used baskar on the Darksaber because in the same way, he had a strong connection to it because of his Mandalorian background.
Have the cross guards or handguard made out of Cortosis.
And at the very least, the lightsaber itself wouldn't be cut by another lightsaber hitting it in a duel.
Oh... imagine a Cortosis Lightpike.
I attached it to the end of my blaster rifle; now its the galaxy's most lethal bayonet. Next question.
I’d like the idea that when a Jedi dies, the Order gives their closest living relative their lightsaber crystal.
I just want the old republic to be touched with love as a love letter to the fans as a whole but also show the gritty nature when thousands of Sith fight Jedi.
Anyone tough or skilled enough to defeat a Jedi would take the lightsaber as a trophy. Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Aurra Sing, and Grievous all had collections of lightsabers
Allan, you truly are the best Star Wars UA-camr! Thanks for the great and continuous content!
What happened to all the Jedi lightsabers they were all collected by General Grievous
That's right...he was trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku
A fine addition to someone's collection
awesome channel man! love your content
It is put in a vault till grevious is born :D
Another fine addition to my collection
General Grievous just runs by
If Mas Amedda had Yoda's saber burned, how does Luke have it to give to baby gogurt during the events of Mando/BoBF?
Simple. For all the claims that Canon would be consistent, the comics and books seem to be viewed as lesser canon that can be ignored if the movies or shows demand it.
Or Yoda had multiple lightsabers.
@@dylanlewis5113 I figured it was multiple sabers, but that's a good point about the canon
Space Ebay: Lightly used lightsaber. Location: Cloud city
Maz Kanata: A fine addition to my collection
This will make a fine addition to my collection
Excellent topic Allen! Thank you
Had there been Kyber salvage expeditions where there were massive battles that could have left either lightsabers behind or just destroyed vessels that had vast amounts of Kyler crystals, such as the remains of either the first or second Death Star?
It may not have been common knowledge as to what powered the superlaser weapon systems on those death stars, but there had to have been sone people who did know. Couldn’t at least one or more of those knowledgeable individuals had tried to take advantage of the situation and and conducted salvaging expeditions to try to salvage all of that kyber?
The current Star Wars Tabletop RPG has an Adventure where the players go to the ruins of the Death Star near Yavin. You can salavge some of the Kyber from the Superlaser. This crystals are cracked. If you roll poorly on a Lightsaber check, the crystal will shatter, making your lightsaber useless.
@@dylanlewis5113 It’s too bad if the crystal is cracked that can’t even Kylie Ren it so you could at least use such a lightsaber.
@@kevinx7015 The game let's you use the cracked crystals. All lightsaber crystals have unique stats or special effects. The Crossguard hilt is also in the game, though it is not required to use a cracked crystal. The Crossguard gives a bonus to melee defense.
It gets added to Grevous's collection..
Lightsaber still had some battery after all those years. That thing is like a friggin gameboy
Magnificent video with fantastic lore ♡
Ah yess another fine addition to my lightsaber collection
Love the Endor background. Thanks for the video. I always wondered how Ben could hand Luke a lightsaber that works perfectly after a few decades in storage.
I always thought that Lightsabers get sold off to the Star Wars galaxy Black markets by smugglers or whoever can get their hands on them once the Jedi holder dies & leaves that weapon behind 🤷🏾♂️✅
Or if nobody finds it the weapon just stays there laying down where it was last used.
Good video as usual GTECH 🔥
(stolen joke) the Lightsaber goes into the beefed-it bucket where someone who lost their lightsaber can get one from there. I'd imagine that Anakin had to visit the bucket quite a few times.
How often do the Jedi polish their lightsabers? They always look so shiny and new, and that's a hard thing to do when they are made out of a chrome colored material.
They hang from the belt clip and rub on their robes as they walk around.
I remember a force user would need to be skilled enough, in the force, to meditate and receive the knowledge of lightsaber construction through the force. I think it was also meant to explain why different users would have a personal flavour to their lightsaber; it was the different way they interpreted the force.
But I don't remember where I got these ideas.
*The following are the musings of a Salty SEAGULL named EARL who just shows up in my posts whenever he feels like it!*
[EARL the Salty SEAGULL:] "If General Grievous is around, it's getting added to his collection!"
Ah the life of a scrapper.
After order 66 Palpatine made it illegal for non imperial agents to possess a lightsaber thus surviving jedi were hesitant to use their lightsaber in order to not attract unwanted attention.
Having not read much of the Legends novels, I picture a particular memorial room or chamber in the Jedi Temple where the lightsabers of fallen Jedi were stored, when recovered, and not used again. I also assume a Jedi or Jedi's droid (Huyang type) tasked with the recovery of fallen lightsabers.
Jocasta Nu: I use them in my little friend here.
Grievous happens. Even if he hasn't been born yet, or if he's dead, he comes to collect them. He's the Grim Reaper, but for Lightsabers.
Makes for a great wall display.
In Legends, there were more than one type of lightsaber crystals. The old Sith claiming their synthetic crystals were more powerful than regular crystals could potentially be true for some types of lightsaber crystals.
Some of these crystals were
Hurrikaine (the type of Crystal Master Windu's purple lightsaber used.)
Dantari (crystals which were found within eggs of animals called kinrath on Dantooine.)
Rubat
Firkrann
And a lot more.
Illum crystals seemed to be the most common type of kyber crystal. And of course the Jedi had a monopoly on those, and most Jedi used crystals from Illum. So it's possible they meant specifically those.
If the method of making your synthetic crystals allows you to tweak aspects of them, then sure, you can make your crystal do stuff that some others can't.
I’d want a hilt and guard that’s made of Beskar.
This is one of the best thumbnails I’ve seen I’m life 😂😂😂😂
Sideous on Dueling and Electrum - "It's only in mockery.... I don't even think it's cool.... It's not cool, I'm just mocking you... 😒 It's not cool at all."
The Old Republic era is by far the most interesting after the tragedy of Skywalker's line
S'up, Alan?
13:41 lol i love the minecraft screenshot
Another great episode of Generation Tech Money!
Why the jedi were on bryndock is a good question
I am dissappinted that there aren't any examples of the
more stylized and elaborate hilts from the early and mid High Republic era. I know this is a century or more after the fall of the Starlight Beacon and the conflict with the Nihil, but it would have been nice to see one or two.
I would bring it to Rick’s pawn shop and see how much I will get for it.
Let me call an expert... Oh wait, O can't because Order 66 wiped them all out.
After Phantom Menace is just assumed the Light saber was burned with the body of its Jedi
Why? Qui Gon’a wasn’t shown, if anything I like to think Obiwan continued to safekeep it.
Even perhaps that’s what was Luke’s new green lightsaber.
I thought George made it so that General Grievous would spawn out of no where and swipe the lightsaber then run away.
Better to break it down some before you twke it to the scrap yard. You will get a lot more for copper stripped off a motor than still on the motor for instance. Sometimes quick minor repair (but deeper in. Machine) and tada you got a functional used appliance to sell for more than scrap value.
The Sith Imperial homeworld was Dromand Kaas and not Korriban, Allen. Korriban was home to the Sith Academy and the Dark Counsil during the Old Republic era when the Sith Empire was around.
If a Jedi dies corrosion eventually leads to his lightsaber being buried underground. In rare cases where it reaches fertile soil a beautiful lightsaber tree will grow providing generations of padawans to come.
Is “lightly used” supposed to be a pun?
It would definitely depend on who got to the body first
I watched this entire video. I wished it had “Chapters”. I am Generation Tech.
Jedi Sith rave would look awesome with all those glow sticks
As said in Legends some artists used crystals in their artwork.
"You've never done that. Move along. Move along."
On Earth some fine lightsabers can be obtained from Saberforge in Portland, OR.
You would be the one to ask.. when it became solidified lore.. that naturally red crystals weren't a thing anymore..(along with any other rarefied ones). Requiring them to be made by "bleeding", or resulting from factory production.
I know that in a legends book after order 66 some lightsaber crystals were used for art too by collectors
Flipper is now a fully trained Sith assassin...
I really think that the connection between the Jedi and the Lightsaber should be explored more. You noted this, Alan, but the idea that the Jedi could feel the pain and the death that the Jedi's lightsaber inflicts never crossed my mind. An idea that I had for some time is that the Jedi's respective lightsaber can never hurt that Jedi even if it was held by someone else. The lightsaber and Jedi are so connected the Jedi can even hold the blade of the lightsaber with burning of cutting the Jedi's hand off. It sounds magical, but it explains why only the Jedi can build and weild a lightsaber. The Kyber crystal in the lightsaber isn't fully sentient, but it is aware where it's Jedi wielder is at and who is holding it. If someone who isn't worthy or is unfamiliar holds the saber it gets heavy, glitches out or flat out doesn't work. It just makes the lightsaber more mystical weapons meant for peace and guardianship rather than killing weapons.
The Star Wars Galaxy has been effectively at a technological peak for 20,000 years. An ancient warship would hold advanced technology and weapons that would be on par with whatever is current.
On the topic of Grievous's light sabers. I think they were taken into the empire because after grievous's death all his Armour was saved n used for experiments by the empire. So personally I assume the same for his light sabers.
Pawn wars: What do you have for me today ? A lightsaber . How much you looking to get for it? a million republic credits. Best I can do is 100 republic credits.
I always thought it'd be cool if lightsabers acted like green lantern rings, where they go and find a new jedi or sith. Maybe not every time someone dies using a lightsaber. But if a powerful force user died with one or a powerful force, the user really needed one, and the force would bring them one. Idk I'm spitballing here, but the force can do pretty much whatever it wants, so I don't think it's too crazy of a concept.
Thanks Alan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Electrum is a real thing btw. It's a, sometimes but not always, naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold.
The audio has been a bit iffy the last few episodes. I had always wondered what powered the Deathstar until I started deep diving the lore a couple of years ago. 👍😎🇨🇦
The kyber crystal becomes depressed.
2:49 I’ve always prayed for the Star Wars/dynasty warriors hack and slash crossover..
it actually would make sense
Dude you just gave me a really good idea for a new Star wars series they could come out wiz it could be called the rise of the sith and be about the first sith to ever rise up against the Jedi
I thought that synthetic kyber crystals weren't canon anymore since Sith take kyber crystals from fallen Jedi and bleed them to turn red
It was absolutely wild to me that when Kanan and Ezra discovered that *field* of fallen Jedi around the Sith temple on Malachor, they treated it as a macabre novelty. Lightsaber crystals are a scarce and finite resource, more difficult to come by since the Great Jedi Purge. They'd become even more difficult when the Death Star was under construction, and then Ilum was hollowed out for Starkiller Base. Even during peaceful eras, was the formation of kyber crystals on Ilum infinitely renewable? Every Jedi for all time was expected to find their own? Lightsaber _designs_ are not widespread either and there's no central repository for their construction anymore.
I'd have wanted to survey the entire field. Get a droid in there doing high resolution scans of all those hilts, do some archeology. At least move the crystals to a safer locale against the need of future Force-users. Even if they were jaded about the future of the Jedi the crystals on that field could probably help fund the Rebel Alliance or power weapons of poetic justice for them.
That taboo about using another person's saber seems to be tacitly about the crystal they bonded with. But Anakin's saber was used by Luke, Finn, and Rey, albeit with some apparent side effects from its history. Ezra's saber went to Sabine. As an aside, there seems to be something of an coincidental tradition of a Jedi's _second_ saber being bequeathed. I don't see how you can walk away from a field of magic Force rocks and not hoard them like Cuata.
I wonder what happened to the Kyber crystals that went into the Death Stars? Were they destroyed, or are there fragments floating about the remains of Alderaan and around Endor?
Pretty interesting video, thanks
Palpatine's Lightsaber also had a prick wielding it
Before the lightsaber Jedi and Sith imbued their weapons with the force. Be interesting to see a Jedi with a force imbued Beskar sword.
In the old canon, the first lightsabers were only usable by tapping into the dark side of the Force, and were the weapon of Force sensitive warriors of the Rakatan Infinite Empire. They were known as forcesabers.
The Je'Daii Order was the precursor to both the Jedi and the Sith. It was an order founded on the need for balance between Ashla and Bogan. Light and dark. This balance was called Bendu.
The Je'daii's home world of Tython would be invaded by the Infinite Empire 25,793 years before the Battle of Yavin. During this war, the Je'Daii order would manufacture many Forcesabers to use against the Rakata. This wasn't seen as a bad thing as the Je'daii were open to using both the light and the dark sides of the Force. So technically, the Forcesaber was the lightsaber of both the Infinite Empire and the Je'Daii.
The Je'Daii used the forcesabers, which were powered by the dark side, to stop a massive invading empire from killing and enslaving billions of people, and returning their sector of the galaxy to peace and prosperity. Thus serving the light.
Unfortunately, the Je'Daii later had a schism between adherents who followed only Ashla, and those who solely followed only Bogan. This caused a civil war known as the Force Wars which lasted ten years and saw the Ashla faction, known as the Jedi, defeat the forces of Bogan.
Of course, the Jedi shunned the Bogan and thus use of the forcesaber was banned. What happened to any remaining forcesabers is unknown. I imagine if you went to any of the worlds the Rakatans fought on during their war with the Je'Daii and dug around in the dirt long enough, you might find one.
Fun fact: The symbol the Je'Daii used for Bendu was adopted as the crest of the Galactic Republic. Which was later slightly changed for Palpatine's Galactic Empire.
"Of course I never did that" proceeds to wave hand 😂
"Perfectly vertical."
Consider the scene Ezra found where there were hundreds, if not thousands of Sith and Jedi lightsabers spread around on a battlefield and forgotten. Then consider that the Sith Empire and Republic and the Sith and Jedi had hundreds (if not thousands) of these battles over the years against each other and others like the Mandos. There are possibly millions of lightsabers out there laying on forgotten battlefields, floating through the wreckage of space battles, etc. I feel like it'd be relatively rare that a lightsaber would actually be dealt with by either the Sith or Jedi. It'd only be in more peaceful times that they might be able to be recovered and passed on or salvaged. Maybe the Galaxy is just so big and the Sith and Jedi relatively so few that even with so many lightsabers dropping off the grid, they still remain rare enough and non-Force users are unskilled enough with them that they are not a persistent problem.
Real question did the jedi order have their own therapists. Because having an order based around harnessing the force and not killing everyone seems important
Many were made with internal switches so that non force uses couldn’t use them.
