Red Five standing by...
General Greivous liked this video and is now thinking of expanding his collection.
It should also be stated that Sam L Jackson had 'Bad Motherf**ker' engraved on the hilt and this was used in the films but Jackson's hands covered it
Source?
@dagoat124 he talks about it in a Graham Norton interview. That's the one that comes to mind but I'm sure there are other interviews as well
@@PokemonDork2024 oh ok thx
HE IS LE BADASS. Btw he covered it to keep it kid-friendly
Red five is one of the best star wars youtube channels
Him and star wars explaimed are the best
Up there with explained and Eckharts
bro wants red five to heart is comment 😂🫵
@@Jack_doesnt_review_food nah just facts
True thing
Using a rancor tooth as a lightsaber hilt that's actually kind of cool
I'm honestly a little disappointed that Cal Kestis' lightsaber wasn't even mentioned here, the modular design is really cool and gives him unprecedented versatility
My disappointment was immeasurable, and my day was ruined.
I’m disappointed that Cals lightsaber takes 2-4 hits to kill a trooper
@@scottedwards3403 That's just gameplay mechanics
Ezra’s old lightsaber was ingenious in my opinion. It likely would’ve been frowned upon by the masters, but I’m sure a few of the other Jedi would’ve been intrigued by its usage as a short and long range tool.
It could also be carried around much more openly, as its design was much closer to a blaster than a Lightsaber. Granted once he got some notoriety with the empire that benefit was pointless, but he could literally have his lightsaber on his waist, out in the open, and your average stormtrooper or even inquisitor wouldn't even realize its a lightsaber.
It was much better for use as a lightsaber in a time of Jedi oppression because of this.
From the perspective of the old Jedi order, it would still be a useful design.
One of the big issues with a lightsaber is that the only option is to either kill or permanently maim your opponent unless they surrender.
_Lightsabers dont have a stun setting._
A stun blaster would be so useful for the day to day field work of a Jedi..., and it's merciful.
As well as being able to stun fleeing suspects during an investigation.
Pragmatic Jedi should have carried a stun blaster in their off hand.
And another advantage, stun bolts can't be reflected back by another lightsaber wielder.
i was kind of hoping cal would add a similar mod to his lightsaber in survivor
@@johnnysalami7813I don’t think he would do that since he already has a blaster
Cal Kestis’ lightsaber from Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. In game it can be customized to all kinds of looks sure, however there is a canonical look for it. I think the canon Cal lightsaber would be a combination of his two master’s lightsabers with the crossguard vents on the Jaro Tapal half of the saber. The way Cal can use his saber is the most versatile I’ve ever seen in star wars. He can use it with one blade like Anikan and Obi-Wan, he can use two blades like Ahsoka and Ventress, he can use a saberstaff like Maul and Savage, or he can even use a crossguard like Kylo Ren. Hell he can even use a gun with it like how Kanan fought the Grand Inquisitor using Ezra’s first saber.
There is no single canonical look for Cal's saber, it's an intentionally modular design; it shows off both his skill as an engineer and his adaptability as a lightsaber combatant
@@pokeyscorpion8224 I was going of the idea where in Fallen Order if you don’t edit the lightsaber at all then it will end up as half Jaro Tapal and half Cere Junda. Also in all the trailers and stuff Cal always has the Jaro Tapal lightsaber so that might be the most canon lightsaber Cal has.
@@damianwolfe613 The player customization obviously isn't canon, but his lightsaber is still modular regardless and thus has no single canon appearance
@@pokeyscorpion8224 Fair enough. But we can still agree that Cal probably has the most versatile lightsaber ever with the Single Blade, Two Sabers, Crossguard, and Saber Staff modes right?
@@damianwolfe613 that's exactly what I've been saying
Hearing about Kylo Ren’s cross guard lightsaber made me remember just how I wished the Knights of Ren were actually meaningful villians. They were such a cool concept.
Nah not on Disneys watch you don't get anything good.
yes! they implied that they were what remained of luke's former students and then disney just resorted to using them as cannon fodder.
Still hoping one day some writer can redeem the Knights of Ren by writing a great novel about them to expand on the lore outside of the Sequels. Same with Rey.
One thing I would change on the cross guard would be to have the exhaust energy be released slightly upward to decrease the chance of harming oneself
You missed Cal's Swiss Army Saber
That 1's probably just game play reasons but that would be a hilarious addition
My three personal favorites are Dooku’s, Cal Kestis’ lightsaber, and Ezra Bridger’s first lightsaber
Cal's lightsaber is awesome, the modular design really shows how skilled of an engineer he is
It's safe to say this guy doesn't play the games since Cal's saber was excluded.
Out of these 10 unique lightsaber hilts, the Darksaber is definitely my favorite. However, I'm disappointed that Cal Kestis' second lightsaber wasn't included on this list because the modifications made to this lightsaber allow Cal to utilize 4 different lightsaber variants.
Now that you mention cross guard sabers I’m actually shocked we never got one in the Acolyte. I feel like in the high republic cross guards were a lot more common from all the comics, books and Jedi survivor.
Although I am glad we got a lightsaber whip on screen finally so maybe season 2 could show us some dope cross guards especially with all the knights of ren and Kylo music being used in season 1.
I am hoping we get some other odd designs in season 2, I think the Twin (no spoilers) will craft something interesting now that she has her own saber.
would love to see her craft a whip too then we can get a whip fight... could be amazing
Your many, many lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection!
I love that every aspect of Sidious wielding a lightsaber is a diss at the Jedi, right down to the design of the hilt. It really just puts into perspective of what he was trying to achieve: beat them, yes, off them yes. But more than that, humiliate them, disgrace them, destroy their illusion of superiority by not just using their methods of fighting to combat them, but rubbing it subtly in their faces that he is on par with their levels of skill, and he wants them to realize that such an enormous threat was right in front of them the entire time.
how about Cal? And even more recent Qimir.
Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if this was recorded before the acolyte
Surprised that Ventress’ sabers weren’t included but still shown. A curved double bladed lightsaber that could separate into two standard curved sabers is really unique
Yea, but them being locked together for a saber-staff is one of the most unrealistic and foolish weapon designs in Star Wars. This is an exceptionally useful and effective mechanic for straight-handle weapons, but for curved handles, absolutely not. Might be the single most anti-effective weapon design in Star Wars' entire history. And I say "anti" effective rather than "in" effective because, not only would it not give any benefit, it would actively hinder the user to an extreme. I've thought about this before, as a 1st degree black belt in HaiDong Gumbo (Korean Swordart) and 3rd in TaeKwon Do, ever since I first saw it. Even considering the Force, the design is so awful and physically detrimental to the wielder, no Force ability is going to even that out, let alone make it into an advantage.
B
But again, the IDEA is great. It just has to be with non-curved hilts. My Grandmaster has two Ninjitsu Battleswords (which have a blade and hilt exactly like a katana, but with no curve to the blade. Single edge, very shap, with an extremely firm tang, and the traditional cord-wrapped hilts), that are identical twins and are designed to be able to quickly twist and snap their hilts together, creating a dual-blade/ staff. The hilts are both somewhat long, about a hand-and-a-half each, which I prefer, and when attached, they create a pretty long middle grip to allow for a lot of hand and form adjustments and leverages, as well as opening up more Bo Staff based techniques. Also, they can lock together two different ways: with the blades facing opposite directions, which is the usual choice, or with both facing same direction, which is more niche use. He's allowed me to train with it and borrow it since I was a teenage girl, and besides the WuShu Spear/ Bo Staff, it's definitely the weapon I'm most talented with. I can spin it just like a staff, as fast and flexibibly as a baton twirler, around my back, over head, thrown in air and caught, etc. I LOVE it. Wish I could get one for myself, but they're custum built by Mushashi family and over $12,000 each. It's fun to disconnect them amidst combat or forms, as well, and return to dual wielding.
So this is one topic I really know a lot about. Ventriss' hilts are unrealistic even for fantasy to be attached like that. Still cool to look at, though! :)
@@JadusMoltriel I think the team on the show thought it was dumb too as her sabers only connect once in the Clone Wars movie. Though would it be as bad as the intentionally bad Inquisitor sabers?
@@ShinyHunterCel I'd take the Inquisitor weapon over Ventriss' any day if Ventriss' had to be attached as a double-blades weapon. THAT's how bad that handle would be.
Now, if I could keep them separate, as two blades with curved hilts, I'd chose them over Inq weapon, of course.
''You might get purple''
Samuel: 😎
You should do a Legends one, including Exar Kun's lightsabre, Roblio Darte's and Desann's
Part two, Mara Jade, Tyvoka, Satele Shan, Tulak Hord, Darth Traya's 3 purple lightsabers and Oppo Rancicis.
Add darth malgus’s to the list
@@bruticus1496 also Exar Kun’s and the Shadow Guard
Just finished leg day to open my phone up to a banger of a video. Let’s go boys!!!
“Its unfortunate we have yet to see this on screen.” He literally changes his blade length during the OT
Probably means you see the length change on screen mid duel maybe like it’s shorter at first but then gets longer kinda like how we just got kyber crystals bleeding on screen despite it being a thing for years.
Where?
@@AarayKyramud one of the luke duels I would have to go see which one but I remember his blade getting way longer at one point
My favourite’s are the Darksaber and Ezra’s Blaster Saber
Edit
6:40 Darksaber
11:34 Ezra’s Blaster Saber
The cross guard hilt sabers are really cool. It's definitely a resemblance to old-school broadswords.
I never caught that Obi-Wan/blaster Easter Egg at 11:47 between the original and prequel trilogies. Legendary.
I'd have to say Red Five, Generation Tech, Geetsly's, Star Wars explained and Eckhart are my top Star Wars youtubers
Like Dooku himself his lightsaber was elegant & refined yet brutal & cunning in design.
It's definitely one of my favorite designs out there.
I undesrtand favorite's SW character Kyle Katarn's lightsaber was quite unique, would've loved to see
The part two should include exar kun
If i remember right, Sabine also wielded the Darksaber in Rebels
she definitely had it and trained with it, but did she wield it in combat? I can't remember, the others all definitely used it in combat with an enemy
@@mattyt1961Yes, sabine did use it in combat a few times. Particularly in the first few episodes of season 4
@@MrPotatoPig yes, maybe that is because she only wielded it for a short time that redfive didn't mention her. Also, she is the only one, that we know, to have gifted it, instead of losing a fight. And, if i remember right, she found it while she was possessed at Dathomir, or i might be confusing two different things
@@mattyt1961 Sabine dueled Gar Saxon when she had returned to her family's home to try to convince her mother to have Clan Wren join the Rebellion. Sabine of course won the duel; however, she did not kill Gar Saxon, Sabine's mother did.
(edit add:) Sabine also wielded the Dark Saber during the operations to free her father from Imperial imprisonment.
@@nagnacamo25 Ezra actually found it, sort of, when Darth Maul brought him to Dathomir and pointed out the saber to Ezra. The Dark Saber did end up in Sabine's possession just after the events of she and Kanan being possessed by Night Witches.
I really like the crossguard design, and Stellan's is perfect for the design the only thing I don't like is that the folding guard covers the point of the mini blades, but I suppose it's excusable for how awesome it still is.
6:26 We already did see it extend on screen in Episode 4 but it’s hard to spot.
Pretty good work! My personal favorite Lightsaber is either Palpatine’s saber, the darksaber or Count Dooku’s lightsaber
The rancor fang hilt is cool af, as well as gunji’s. Definitely need to see more unique materials/designs and colours but long shot no doubt
Can you try to make a video about all the clone trooper armor parts and the things that can be put on the helmet? Please
Coran’s speeder bike hilt.
i realy like revans saber with this spikes
That Rancor hilt is awesome. I'm surprised Revan didn't take a fang or a claw from the Krayt Dragon he killed in legends to use for his hilt.
So the inquisitor's spinning saber was made to use fear against Jedi. And Grievous, who was designed to use fear and dread to weaken Jedi, also has spinning lightsaber tech. I smell a correlation.
I have a really beautiful lightsaber hilt idea a marbled white hilt that’s based off a Roman/Greek pillar with a teal blade, coming out one side and a purple out the other as for the video my favorite has to be the rancor tooth teal bladed one
Palpatine's sabre hilts seem the most comfortable to hold.
Ezra's is my fave just cause I'm a sucker for gunblades
7:38 I think the spinning motor of the inqusitor design shows thier weakness in the dark side.
I Love Asoka Tano’s double lightsaber (unmentioned) and Ezra’s Blaster/saber combination. I also thought Dooku’s arced saber hilt was very elegant.
Was it darth krayt or bane who had a longer hilt and blade making it a true zweihander because the wielder was above average height and physically stronger as others?
I was surprised the strangers lightsaber wasn't in this because it had the ability to detach the smaller blade at the end!
"Good guys are green and blue, bad guys are red. That's how it works."
"No purple lightsaber?"
"You might get purple"
There's not a man in the world that isn't afraid of Samuel L Jackson.
Will you make, in the future, a video about the cruiser used by the rebellion and the separatist?
Wasn't Gios' crossguard featured in Jedi Survivor?
I would come up w my own unique designs. My idea is a 'spiked' mace. The spikes about 4" to 6" long. Some sort of beam multiplicator in the head. The weight would of course b alot less than a regular mace,so could b swung faster. Possibly surprising a first time opponent.
Me personally I always felt that the Dark Saber had the best overall design the only thing I would change about it is making it bigger scaling it up to a two handed sword size as well as extending the blade to match but that's just because I prefer long swords over short swords.
Oppo Rancisis' hilt is one of my favorite.
dooku and ventress has the best hilt
7:23 you forgot about Sabine wren lol, nice vid btw
Love mace windows lightsaber
Id have to say my favorite lightsabers would be cal kestis's and Ezra bridger's first lightsaber.
Tenel Ka Djo. You should do more legends content mate. Darth Talon's saber using Vong organic stuff should've been in here.
guy in the back at 8:42 be like: WEEEEEE IM A HELICOPTER :DDDDDD
awesome job about The Most UNIQUE Lightsaber Hilts Explained! from Top 10
Missed opportunity to add Cal's lightsaber.
It's extremely modular design that allows it to easily and smoothly transition into a completely different type of saber is so badass and unique.
11:35 much more of my type it has a blaster which could stung which in return means much more easier hits if possible and it’s still a light saber at the same time if I wasn’t Star Wars, I wouldn’t care about the standards if it means survival more easier I would do whatever the hell I want of course, a light saber gun better for my own fighting style if not that then may be a double sided light saber another one which I may use but only with a lightshield then I will only use a double sided light saber
Man wouldn’t it be cool if there’s a Jedi out there who uses a crossguard lightsaber like Kylo Ren’s, but then the hilt can expand out (like Robin’s bo staff) so you can have a lightsaber trident or pike?
Stellans hilt reminds me a lot of the Crucible from Doom
i've watch star wars rebel since i was childhood
therapist: "realistic ezra bridger isnt real, he cant hurt you"
realistic ezra: 12:21
No Cal Kestis's heavily modified lightsaber? My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Cal Kestis - combonation/Adapting Light Saber
the swiss army knife of Light sabers
I’m surprised Darth Malgus’s light saber wasn’t included. The thing is a battle axe and a lightsaber. That is the coolest lightsaber ever.
Lol, it's not a battle-axe. The hilt has a similar visual aessthetic to a battle-axe design, but it doesn't actually function as one. It's just a large hilt lightsaber with vertical guard fans. Definitely cool to look at, and likely an excellent design for comabt, though.
There are a few cool hilts with spikes or protruding guards going along the blade. One of Darth Revan's hilts, one of Starkiller's hilts (he has two sick hilts, the other shows the crystal), and Darth Talon's Vong material kinda has spikes. More like claws, I guess.
Dark Saber is my favourite 😍
Hol up where is the super old jedi with the wooden lightsaber that connects to his walking cane
That’s one of my favorite simply because of how unique it is
@@Darth_Bya i love it too hes like kinda like yoda and his saber is so unique
Cal Kestis ha an adjustable crossguard, splitting saber, double saber and regular saber with customizable hilts
Great video and information, please make a second video. 😁
Too bad Ezra's Light saber was destroyed by Vader.
The Jedi seeing sideus’s lightsaber
“Ah frick”
The nearly indestructible alloy known as FRICK😂
Wow I’m not a starwars fan at all but just randomly searched “unique lightsabers” because I knew one character had a curved one and this video was just posted today lmao
Blaster ❤❤❤❤
Sabiene wren wielded the dark saber
I get putting Dooku in.... but Bane had a curved hilt too, and his story is way cooler.
13:01 - Where is this photage from, please? I don't recognize it
Hello
Quick question, why are lightsabers and kyber crystals so rare after Order 66? Shouldn't their be thousands of them spread throughout the galaxy from all of the dead Jedi? Also, what happened to the sabers of fallen Jedi when the Jedi Order still existed?
Real life reason , count dookue light Saber is curved because of Christopher Lee's old man hands had trouble using the straight light Saber props
Bet vid ev
How about the lightsaber of Kanan jarrus
hey one inquisitor had blades on his saber
Exar kuns was uniqe because it was doublebladed but for one hand
How about Rey Palpatine’s foldable double bladed red lightsaber from her failed dark side training
Great video but I do think Ashoka should be on this list
Darth maul's lightsaber and jedi temple guard lightsaber.
Saber Pikes
Saber Staffs
Plo Koons weird katar type lightsaber
Many people already mentioned Cal Kestis's splitable lightsaber
I always disagreed with Kenobi, blasters are only random if you're a bad shot
Saber whip
Let’s go 1 hour gang
2:22 Frick
how did vaders saber make it on the list but not starkillers??!! the kyber crystal was literally exposed
Pretty good for a design for a lightsaver
I personally prefer Ahsoka Tano’s light saber design.
Jedi sith or Gray Jedi
The discord link not working for me
Why would someone in the High Republic need a cross guard on their lightsaber if there were no Sith around?
