- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- With the recent Star Wars Episode 9 - The Rise of Skywalker - teaser trailer released at D23 we see an evil Dark side Rey and a new folding double-bladed red Lightsaber and I'm going to explain why it makes no sense at all from a practical perspective.

I'm at the last pages of your book, and OMFG it's absolutely AMAZING! One of the best reads I've had in a while!!! Can't wait for the next one!
P.S. Video is terrific, like always!
Edit: Thx for the heart and pin :D
Agreed. Last half of the book was much better than first half.
You're at the endgame now...
Literally the best book I have ever read. This thing has got to be made into a long running series. He's put too much into building the world for it not to be.

Good thing neighbors are not allowed to use red flag laws yet, neighbors repeatedly outside yelling at a camera, and is always out practicing with swords
The video is also much too long
I'd imagine neighbors would have figured out that Shad's a UA-camr if they'd seen him doing it. Playing with swords and other wacky weapons and cameras, what else might he be doing?

There was an evil Rey? Man, I really forget everything about these movies the second they are over.

Remove things and that is accurate
the sequels themselves are weird, unnecessary and stupid
I cant even remember seeing that scene in the movie lol cauae i hate it too much
@Deputy Fish Gills I'd say absolutely terrible primarily.
"Weird, unnecessary and stupid" is the motto of the sequels.

I can think of only one reason for that configuration: BREAD CUTTING. You get 3 slices of bread at once instead of 2 and they are already toasted and ready to be eaten.
VERY practical. Mystery solved.

It can also be a hand held toaster.
2.5 slices of toasted bread

Honestly I don't care who is holding it, the truth is that new merchandise, whatever it is, refunds a lot of money for Disney
And seen that Star wars costs various millions of dollars I guess is also a good economic strategy... But still I hate it
@@caesarspeaks OK WHAT!!!???!!! First of General Krell is not a very popular character, he was in the clone wars meaning not many people would have heard of him, and he was a villain with no interesting story to him. It has nothing to do with the fact that Rey is a girl. And also you are now the one bringing unnecessary attention to the fact that she's a girl, why's that are yooooooouuuuuuuuuuu sexist. 🙂😎
The dual blade system allows you to toast both sides of the bread while you're slicing it, so that's one plus, I guess.
Or you block with 1 blade and then swing the other over to strike them from the side
@@Junglehunter677 because you would have to block with the front blade (because you couldn't block with both unless it was on a flat plane) the issue is, you couldn't flip it open because if you did it would slice you in half!
@@MaskTheDwarf just go look up the double bladed lightsaber of the jedi temple guard and pong krell. They are both the same as this one.
@@Junglehunter677 Yeh I know, they're the same design but Rey's has a big gap in between the hilts when folded

And then you get cut in half
Or someone else, an opponent perhaps, pushing that button with the force…
@@user-ur1cf1jb8b if that was the case then everyone that can use the force should just be able to shut off any lightsaber

The Jedi Temple Guards in TCW had an actual SaberStaff like Darth Maul if I remember correctly. For some reason Rebels decided to change the Temple Guard’s outfit as well as how their lightsaber functions.
@@SamSalsa411 Well i know that, i meant that Pong Krell used four of these Lightsabers, FOUR! And Star Wars rebels is just a kids show so of course they change designs for no reason.
@@MaxiDoesStuff Well, Krell's are just manually flipped into place, and it's much faster than this. He draws his sabers so quickly when he gets surrounded at the end of the arc.
@@MaxiDoesStuff yeah but they were used as double bladed sabres the entire time so a lot of people didn't even realise until rewatching.
From the clone wars we could see clearly the temple guards use normal saner staffs instead of what we see in rebels
Right when I saw the lightsaber in the trailer I was like, “Ok, I’m ready for Shad to tell me how stupid this is.”
Funny, I thought the exact same thing. Dad showed me the trailer, saw the lightsaber, and I said out loud "shad is going to enjoy tearing this to shreds, perhaps a bit too much."

I would note, in Rebels it has more need to be smuggled or hidden, and being able to fold it makes more plausible configurations to hide.

Much more restraint here... i guess.

Double blade is for toasting. Two separate points of heat distribution for even coverage.

Marketing and merchandise!
Well, its true
Ever since star wars was a thing it was about toys
Same reason as everything else: Lucas gets royalties for everything OT and PT and Disney doesn't want to pay him.
This was my very first thought on seeing the trailer. "Aha! New toys to try and sell."
the use of the lightsaber is that it make your opponent laugh so hard that they wont be able to concentrate
"I like the prequels so much more now that they've set the bar 'SOLO'"
Heh, nice.
My first thought, immediately after seeing that swiss-army lightsaber in action was, "As cool as it sounds, there's a reason why we don't put blades on nunchucks."

HES TO DANGEROUS TO BE KEEPT ALIVE
The only way I could imagine a design like that being useful is if you locked blades with someone in the double-bladed position and then closed the blade on them from the other side where they are open and even if they somehow managed to dodge it, you could still potentially twist their saber out of their hand once the saber closed and locked.
If not for the fact that it would've been too mechanically complex for appropriate periods, I feel like a folding version of a double-bladed conventional sword would make quite a lot of sense, considering one of your primary criticisms of those was the physical awkwardness of carrying such a weapon for personal defence. One which could be folded and quickly unfolded (and reliably kept that way in combat) might have made it much more viable. So it's a little ironic that the only time I've ever seen the concept applied is to lightsabers, where the issue it could otherwise solve is a non-issue.
"....its weird, it's unnecessary, it's stupid." Well, that kinda sums up Disney's Starwars, doesn't it? 😅

@@foolslayer9416 Of course not, they won't have enough until they have all the money.
That saber design actually dates back to the Umbara campaign during the Clone Wars. General Pong Krell dual wielded that style hilt with great effectiveness.
He had other problems apart from the light Saber.
I've always liked the lightsaber "pykes" (which is honestly way more similar to a spear since it's not 7 feet+ long) where you have a long shaft with a short blade on one end. I feel like that would translate better from staff fighting. Maybe they should have somebody with one of those alongside a gungan energy shield so we can have straight up jedi hoplites. It'd also be cool to have lightsabers with both a crossguard and a basket hilt so we can stop the hand slicing nonsense. I loved the montage, by the way. 😂
“Try spinning, that’s a good trick”
Phantom Menace
That’s an underrated comment
Thanks Vader
“Don’t try it Anakin”
The unquisitors did it in rebels.... they fly now
I expected Shad to have some STRONG opinions on that new lightsaber, glad I was right.
Thomas Kross *STRONG facts*
It’s not a new lightsaber.
The most evident utility of that light saber is cutting her own hand instead of letting others do so
"hand chopping off montage" xDDD
Shadiversity: you should put something logical in a movie
Disney: we dont do that here.
Marvel: At least we try sometimes!
Rip Spiderman
In the Darth Bane books a Sith instructor said plainly that a double bladed lightsaber imparts no advantage to the wielder but an opponent may "think" said wielder has an advantage.
Disney: ua-cam.com/video/XBo_pLrwAX0/v-deo.html
I literally laughed when I saw this new lightsaber, instantly thinking how Shad would cut it down lol
The cross guard is there on Kylo’s weapon because the crystal (the energy source) is cracked and damaged, which is why the blade looks so different compared to other lightsabers: it’s unstable, and the cross guards are there as “vents” for the excess energy the crystal is throwing off.
Well, what do you expect? There were animated scenes where auto-spinning lightsabers functioned like HELICOPTER BLADES!
"I don't like hands"- George Lucas. I laughed so loud xDDD
Edit: I also like the original and prequels but not the stuff that comes out now. 8 was...I actually face palmed 3 times in the cinema. And it hurt. On my head and in my soul.
George Martin also dislikes body parts. Coincidence? I think not.
The montage made me smile so much.
Thoughts on Rey's weapon... Doesn't look cool, or... neat... wow this feels incredibly stupid.
And after 8 they have made Solo...
I will never be able to unsee the swiss army lightsaber. Thank you for burning that into my brain
Whoever animated the swiss army saber deserves a medal
He gave them 2 frames of credit and no love in the discription. A tad cold
@@flar28 He put their channel up on screen, and considering how little they were in the video, I'd say that's reasonable.
If anyone needs it 3:14
idk why the hell ray even has one they were used by temple guards and jedi mostly
The amount of pure joy and happiness this man brings to these videos is amazing. This is such a great channel, and i dont even know the first thing about weapon enthusiasm.
I think it's actually much more practical to transport like that.
It dangles less on the belt and it fits into more bags.
You don't lose anything with having the hinge there and you gain a potentially surprising angle of attack if there's a quick release.
We've gone from watching the SW trailer and thinking: "That's neat!" to "Shad is going to decimate that idea!"
" 2 cuts are hard to recover from, you know what else is hard to recover from ... A cut" dead that had me dead
If I remember my Kenshin correctly. And I'm pretty sure I do, since I love the series. Actually have his Sakabatō Katana (made like a real Katana, which is a pain because you need to apply oil very often, so it doesn't rust).
The reason given for the two blades and a cut from them being hard to recover from is because the two cuts so close together can't be stitched. Sure, it's not a super solid reason, and a single cut (especially in those times) was pretty dangerous on it's own.
But a single cut, you can stitch and stop the bleeding. This two bladed weapons wound, you can't do that.
And I'm pretty sure there is some inherit logic that a wound you can't sew shut is more dangerous than one you can.
Still a funny line from Shad though.
@@_Feanor_. Except a Lightsaber cauterizes. So even if its true with a steel sword, the point is moot with a lightsaber.
@@Shr3dd3r2k8 Well duh. That quote is from the part of the video where he talks about the weapon from Kenshin though. So a lightsaber has nothing to do with anything in this regard.
@@_Feanor_. Yeah, that's exactly right. It's supposedly a "vicious sword of certain death" as there is no way to medically treat the double cut effectively. During combat it presents no real advantage aside from being easy to double wield when separate, it seems more like a sadist's weapon.
The worst part about the “two is better than one” logic is that one is absolutely better than two.
Having more blades means more weight, but also force distribution. Two blades have far less cutting power than one blade. If it’s sharp enough then it should cut regardless, but the severity of the cut is still different; and it shouldn’t matter if the wound is more or less severe, because a massive wound is already a massive wound. :)
I think the best value of this folding design is actually the value in storage and carrying it. Not with lightsabers, but physically swords.
So in the video about double bladed lightsaber, you mentioned it wasn't practical to carry around like a sword, but this design actually solves that issue. You can fold it and sheath both blades together at your hip, as well as draw them together smoothly as well.
Provided you had a great locking system in the folding mechanism, you could actually have a double bladed sword with none of the practical issues mentioned earlier.

You could cut really thick slices of toasted bread with it folded like that.
And would be roasted straight away! What a genious idea!

JediAcolyte26, they worked and had a useful function. Sure they are dumb but they get the job done (until they get destroyed and cause the death of the user - seriously, most of them get killed due to their lightsaber being destroyed moments prior).
The primary thing with those spinning lightsabers is the intimidation factor, which actually is somewhat useful in a fight if you can make your opponent panic. However, if you know what you're doing when faced with one.... Well, just look at the previous comment. They sum it up pretty well.

Question to the Disney sequels defenders: So you gonna make this a sexist thing too because he respectively said anything negative about Rey?
What just occurred to me is that this entire sequence with Rey encountering her evil counterpart is supposed to be either a vision or a dream. Combined with how weirdly specific this sword configuration is, makes it almost seem like this is actually something Rey previously thought about, something she imagined at some point beforehead.
I could definitely imagine her character thinking something like that up.

One thing to consider is that Rey can swap between the two configurations at will, and swapping from the standard two blades to the parallel configuration would have some uses. Imagine that you're clashing blades with Rey, and then the other beam suddenly swipes up and gets you.
Every time a hand is cut off instead of showing the clip of the hand falling or just leaving it like that she puts in a clip of General Grievous his hand falling to the ground or falling through the complex and I think that's just hilarious

The Jedi in the "RIP this guy" picture during the shield rant was named Ki-Adi-Mundi. He was my favorite in Battlefront 2 for the PS2.
Some trivia:
He had two brains, which apparently made him a good strategist.
He was the only Jedi officially "allowed" to reproduce by the Jedi Council, against their "thou shalt not have personal attachments" rule (the same council that didn't recognize Anakin as a Jedi Master) because of his species's 20-1 female-to-male birthing ratio. He had subsequent trouble keeping the "personal attachments" rule because his race was practically forced into polygamy.
He could speak Huttese as well as the common language.
He could use non-standard force powers such as energy (telekinetic) blasts that left craters, and he had a (limited) grasp of Force Heal.
This is all according to the Wookieepedia.
The folding lightsaber has an extra function it can be use as a giant pair of scissors.
Well, y'know, Chewie is looking in the need of a trim.

The problem with that idea is that scissor blades cross, and the point where they rotate are not the beginning of the blade. What her lightsaber is is a fucking paper weight.

Here's some thoughts on how this could make sense:
When you hit someone with this saber in the darth maul configuration, you can close it (like scissors) and thus attack from two angles - this would require a ton of practise, I think.
If the handle is lightsaber-blade resistant, you have an experimental D-guard of some sort.
If you want to use the lightsaber for pleasuring yourself (as a female) you can halfway open it and use it to stimulate both... ok, there's really no real reason, sorry.
So what you're saying is that this is Sundowner's Lightsaber?

Jedis don't carry shields because they're supposed to be peacekeepers, and generally blocking bolts is enough. However, the circumstances changed when the Jedi began leading armies. Then, there wasn't enough time to train in a new fighting technique. You'll probably never see this, but I'll put it here anyway.
Why does Rey's double-bladed saber look like this?
-> Because it needs to look different from Darth Maul's.
That's it.
Sad
and pong krell`s
Also so Disney can sell more merchandise
25% different.
And because the helicopter sabers of the inquisititors aren't selling
Rey : *flips saber*
Also rey : *hand gets squished between
the hilt*
someone OUCH
Should have went with the red Light Saber nunchucks.
@@zendzend5107 They need Lee Skywalker with X-Wing Chun. Damn light nunchuck would be the best thing star wars
@@zendzend5107 you mean like the chinese version?
Yeah, though I'm not sure how effective it would be in an actual fight.
1:57 I can confirm I am amazing with a staff and terrible with a sword but when you give a polearm I can truly show you my skill
Everytime i watch this type of videos, i cannot help but feel sad and sorry for Adam Driver, Deisy Ridley, and John Boyega.
Especially john boyega. My man didn't even get a character
They are good actors. Once again, decent ideas, terrible execution.
That "Set the bar soooooloooo" comment XD I died XD
You sir, the hero Star Wars fans deserve AND the one we need right now.
I think you missed the point.
The lightsaber NEEDS to be like that so that Disney can sell more toys.
Indeed. Its Darth Maul's lightsaber
*with a hinge on it*
Nailed it
Can they, though? From everything I've heard, they've barely sold anything Star Wars-related ever since Ep. VII.
@@PokeMaster22222 Thats a good point.
If that's true they will probably repackage all the unsold Rose Tiko figures with these goofy lightsabers
As I see, there is one advantage in the foldable part of the sword to the normal double blade, and that is when they lock blades, and they do that a lot, you can strike with the second blade, without removing the pressure from the first blade. In that way, it can cause damage or at least it can cause the enemy retreat, of course you can only use this feature in duels, if there are multiple foes, you should stay with the two bladed Darth Maul style
My conscience in the entire starwars saga is "Just don't think about it to hard"
*Sees Rey's lightsaber:
This is getting out of hand! Now, there are two of them
FantomOmega what if the hinge gets lose or breaks and it flicks open into he leg
@FantomOmega GOOD!
I am the 69th like! Hahaha...
@@bertegue5162 nice
"WHERE ARE THOSE DROIDEKAS?!"
Why make a new type of Lightsaber?
So they can sell another type of Lightsaber toy.
One that will surely break inside of a month because of the weak hinge mechanism
People bitch about the lack of double bladed lightsabers in new star wars.
Rey uses double bladed lightsaber : People bitch about it being for merch.....stfu
Dread, the Mad Smith it isn’t a new design. Pong Krell from the Clone Wars series had two of these.
It's a cannon sabre already fam
Also, because Lucas didn't have one.
Therefore Disney doesn't have to share the merchandising profits on their original concept.
there is one hypothetical use, imagine only having the base grip blade out, then while locking blades, you unleash the second blade and have it unhook open.
Maybe the swiss army lightsaber is like that because it can fold and unfold mid combat for some fancy maneuvers or something. Like one blade could be blocking while the other blade folds around and hits them.
if your lightsaber gets trapped just turn it off and on again. -IT guy :V
Then you're left defenceless for a while
horizontal noodle lmao not if you only turn off one of them
O.J Nightmare then the second is still trapped
@@horizontalnoodlelmao4286 Actually, in the legends continuity, there is a technique that does exactly this, Trákata. It involves rapidly switching the lightsaber off and back on again, to basically bring your opponent out of balance by overreaching.
@@horizontalnoodlelmao4286 not if you have a SHIELD
I can't wait for the Mach 3 lightsaber, with three blades to give you the closest shave imaginable.
That's the first thing I thought about :)
"For the demon shall bear a nine-bladed sword. Nine-bladed! Not two or five or seven, but nine, which he will wield on all wretched sinners, sinners just like you, sir, there, and the horns shall be on the head, with which he will... "
Life Of Brian got there ahead of you.
The first blade lift the hair, the second cut it and the third gains.
I like how everyone just completely forgets that Pong Krell in The Clone Wars also has the same exact thing with *two* of them…
