Pho3nix Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I always had the impression that the lightsaber is difficult to handle and weighs quite a lot simply because of the amount of energy that is projected through the hilt. I'm probably wrong though.
adamqd Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 ^^^ During the Making of the OT GL told Mark Hamill to act as if the light saber were heavy as hell, Like a broadsword. But then in the PT it is said that a light saber is hard to judge because the blade is weightless.... So I suppose we can believe what we want.
PoiuyWired Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 The Heavy As Hell comment is done to simulate a certain fighting style perhaps? I mean, Mark is definitely not a good martial artist, far from it actually.

I mean, Mark is definitely not a good martial artist, far from it actually. I'm assuming when Mark say's "how heavy are these thing george?", and george say's "Heavy as hell .... Like a Broadsword", he's refering to the weight. I think Mark Hamill did an awesome job with the fight scenes actually.
PoiuyWired Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Darth Caedus(or whatever name he is)? I mean, he is able to prosibly take down an emperor's hand with ease?
Jediknight1818 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Come on, DarthMaul is the best. Has nobody read Shadow Hunter or Saboteur. Besides you have got to be good to use the twin-bladed saber.
Nancy Allen`` Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Maul? Know what I like about him? "What could you possibly hate enough for you to defeat me?" "Meself."
Pho3nix Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 "What could you possibly hate enough for you to defeat me?" "Meself." That was actually Darth Vader's comment to Darth Mauls' doppelgänger when he stabbed himself through the chest hitting Maul as well. I don't think It's canon.
Nancy Allen`` Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Regardless it gives great insight to Vader's self hatred, over Padme. Another bit with him in his meditation chamber confirms it.
LordSerion Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I agree with Darth_Terros. All of them had good points.
darth kav Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 darth kav is the best............messin i would say i have two darth vader and freedom nadd DK
PoiuyWired Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 I agree with Darth_Terros. All of them had good points. Trust me, Some of them Darths are just crappy... Darth Bandon...
The Source Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I still hold Vader as the best "Lord of the Sith". There are not many novels based upon Vader's life. Vader was in control of one of the most powerful weapons ever known. If he wanted to kill off his enemies, he had the power and opportunity to do so. "Shadows of the Empire" is a prime example. The only problem is that he felt restrained by depression and guilt. Thus, his emotions made him weak, so that the Emporer could control him. If her didn't have any restraints, I think Vader would have done some serious damage.

At last someone who doesn't cling to the "Vader didn't overthrow the Emperor because the loss of legs makes one weaker in the Force" theory! Finally! EDIT: And yes, I know it's the "official" explanation - but IMO it's still lame (as hell)
tulakhordpwns Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Caedus is my favorite. I also like Darth Bane.
BigMike322 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 My first choice is Revan. I'd also like to mention Naga Sadow, not saying he is the best but he was responsible for bringing the Sith back into Republic Space. Yes it was dumb luck, but he definetly has his spot in history. Exar Kun is probably my #2 just because I love that era.
Jvstice Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Ajunta Pall. He founded the Sith, and as a result without him, there would be no Sith.
Sephira Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Palpatine was stated by the ancient sith to be the greatest sith lord
Sephira Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 That was actually Darth Vader's comment to Darth Mauls' doppelgänger when he stabbed himself through the chest hitting Maul as well. I don't think It's canon. It is canon apparantly. The visual guide and the new essential chronology confirms this
TripHammer Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Palpatine. He kept the rise of the Sith hidden from the Jedi until it was too late for them to do anything about it. A Sith Lord becomes Chancellor and the Jedi don't see it coming? That's not an easy task, and to me is an example of his power.
BigMike322 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I think that it's more an example of intelligence/conning/politics. But definetly some major brain power.
Dessel001 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I'm in the begining of the Darth Bane Path of Destruction novel and I would say he had the greatest aclomplishment of any sith lord. I mean stoping the sith from falling and setting out one of their greatest traditons is hard to top.
