    I am a big believer in it is wielder not the weapon that really manner, that said I will say using a light-whip is a bad idea altogether. The weakness and dangers of the weapon far out way its streaghts, now it is not to say that Jedi or Sith shouldn’t study the weapon for the best way to defend against it and defeat the user is to know how it works. Though I do love they are bring it back for interesting to see in action and move the story.

    The Hundred Year Darkness, which led to the Sith, the Hyperspace War which saw the first war between the Republic/Jedi and Sith, the Sith War led by fallen Jedi turned Sith., and the new Sith wars of the Fourth Schism, are still very much events that happened in canon. It’s just their details are scant and there seems to be contradictions between reference sites as to when they occurred. But not too long back, they still happened when the took place in the Legends EU continuity.
    100/yr Darness. = 7,000 bby
    Is the Second Schism which is Lucas, so that’s canon.
    Hyperspace War = 5,000 bby
    The Sith War. = 4,000 bby
    Are both mentioned and/or happened in the canon Qel-Droma Epics, which is a streamlined account of the old ‘Tales of the Jedi’ comics of the Legends continuity. With the Hyperspace war being referenced in the early source books and the ancient Sith War being referenced back to the early days of the franchise.
    With the 4th Schism era taking place between 2,000 and 1,000 bby, which saw the near demise of the Jedi and the Republic by the Sith and their empire before it was ended by Darth Bane being another Lucas thing and so is still canon. In Legends, this led to the Ruusan Reformation and into the Golden Age of the Republic, also known as the High Republic in canon.
    Where they seem to be having a problem with in the new canon is deciding the dates. Some sources give the same dates as with Legends. Others just moved up the Hundred Year Darkness to 5,000 bby. And other sources seem to conflate and contradict the wars, events and dates at the same time.

    Now, they've run creatively dry of ideas and are being cheap and reusing concepts that already existed. It's pathetic. Of course, no credit is going to be given to those who originally created and introduced this in Legends.
    That's what upsets me about Disney Star Wars. No creativity or originality. Taking credit and success from hard-working, dedicated fans.

    2) Nobody in charge cares about continuity, canon or lore in general ...
    And in the end that is all that matters.
    So if one day they decide that a gun that uses lightsabers as ammo would be cool ... oh wait.
    Nevermind ... i mean if one day they decide that it would be cool for a Force user to deflect turbolasers with Saber ... oh wait.

      Lightsabers are dangerous enough…to their welders. Historically that was one of the main reasons why non-Force Sensitives didn’t use them. The more complicated the lightsaber becomes the more dangerous it becomes to the wielder unless said wielder is abnormally skilled. Lumiya was, if memory serves, exceptionally agile even before she became a cyborg.
