Fortune Hunter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that the Apprentice holds his lightsaber backwards? I really wish he would hold it normally because it looks better that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 If he holds it normally, the player won't be able to see it from a third-person perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Holding a lightsaber normally isn't new and edgy enough. Didn't you get the memo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurges-Ahter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You're not the only one, but I do not understand why this bothers people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Probably because it just feels like a change for the sake of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurges-Ahter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I can understand that... but the fact that it's backwards alone doesn't bother me. I've seen other posts where people are legitimately bothered by the fact that it's backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Hunter Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think the conventional way looks better, that's all I'm saying. I wont feel any differently about the game because of it (there are much better things like the lack of content for the Next Gen Consoles to worry about), I wont lose sleep over it either, I just think it looks dumb.

Gurges-Ahter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sorry if it came across this way, Fortune, but I really didn't intend to criticize your viewpoint. I was really speaking about an earlier thread on the topic where people seemed genuinely upset by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 There's another topic a little down this one commenting on the "fancy" way the Apprentice holds his saber. I shall repeat my comment there: People, you're way to orthodox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It's not my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuuKage Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Personally I like an accurate representation of Shien, lol (not like kotor where changing styles just changes stats). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I like it, I think it looks cool. But I'll have to wait and see how it looks and plays in-game, though. Still, I think it'll be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 The form is called "Shien" and I like it better, mainly because it isn't used in any other game that I know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahc Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think it looks pretty tight, it's a good way to break the mold as far as lightsabers go. Plus it's pretty much bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurges-Ahter Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I agree - I think it looks cool too and I think it adds an element of the Apprentice being an arrogant bada$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It really doesn't bother me. I think that it is pretty cool actually. It is different. Starkiller is a different kinda guy I guess. To me, he really isn't 'conventional'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It's awesome, no one else uses Shien as their primary form, I love Shien, whenever I'm having a saber fight with a friend I try to use Shien, it's fun, and hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_anger Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think it's something new and kinda cool, edgy, ya know? If you think of the first time you saw Darth Maul's dual lightsaber, and thought "Oh cool, I hadn't thought of that" Or Dooku's curved hilt, it's not traditional, but neither is the SA. He's unleashed, a bit rough around the edges, and I think it was very fitting to have a new force 'wrecking ball' come out with a badass way of holding his saber. that being said, I can see how it would bother some... just the same way not being able to dual wield is bothering some.

M@RS Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, it's new, it's cool, it's different, it's Vader's Secret Aprentice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacTavish Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I like it, its aggresive and it fits the apprentice's character well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 It's a personal style. We see a lot of different styles all over the movies and Expanded Universe (Count Dooku being particularly noteworthy), so Starkiller's style doesn't bother me one bit.

RyuuKage Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 that being said, I can see how it would bother some... just the same way not being able to dual wield is bothering some. despite the fact that jar'kai is my favorite style, the fact that you can't do it in this game still doesn't bother me. XD SA's shien looks too cool for disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Holding a lightsaber normally isn't new and edgy enough. Didn't you get the memo? He's only expecting to get enemies from behind. With his uber-coolness radiating so strongly, no one would dare attack from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
