Pol Favre Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 i was just curious if there are any sources (canon or otherwise) that tell of the Jedi before the Sabre. i know it's supposedly an ancient weapon and such, but all technology takes time.

Pol Favre Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 ah, i was afraid of such. i think it's something often taken for granted...i should try and get ahold of George about it. hah yah, like that'll happen. jun: of course they're fake, but they have a lot of history behind them. which is also fake. the reason i was asking was im planning on writing a short story based loosely on Jedi, but before technology was advanced enough for a lightsabre. i imagine they either used pole weapons or swords, but i can't decide which would look best.

Boba Rhett Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Geeez, jun. What crawled up your *** and nested? You've been ridiculing everyone, tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket the Ewok Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I think the technology level has been high enough for lightsabres for as long as the Jedis have been around. Maybe before that there were individuals with magical powers but they were never actually called Jedis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainStorm Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Maybe it was the lightsabre that started the Jedi. Didja ever think of that? ************************************************ "Hey Bob, check out my new invention."   "Hi George. What is it? "Its kinda like a sword." WHISHEUWwww!! MMmmmmmMMMmmm..   "Cool. Whats it do?" "It cuts stuff. Look. " WAOMP! (cuts table in half)   "Wow, that could be a powerful weapon!" "You really think so?"   "Oh yeah. You don't want that thing to fall into the wrong hands. You should keep your eye on it all the time." "Well that will be a pain. Say, ya wanna help me watch it? Maybe we can start a club and we can take turns safekeeping it."   "That sounds fun. Hey, you can make me one, and then we can each have one to guard the other one with!" "Yeah. That would be really neat!"   "How did you know how to make it?" "I don't know. I just kind of felt my way through it"   "Whoa. Thats interesting. Bless you." ACHOO!!! "Hey, you blessed me before I sneezed. How did you know it was coming? "   "Dunno. It just came to me. So whatcha wanna name our club?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostman Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Ya, I have studied the Jedi for a long time (10 min) and have found that before the LightSabre they used a special weapon called "the big stick" which was made primarily of wood and was used in the same fashion as the lightsabre.

Amorpheus Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I don't think there ever was a Star Wars without lightsabers and Jedis.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pol Favre Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 lol lostman! lol! of course they may not've been called Jedi, but the force is an eternal thing, and aren't most jedi born with the ability to use it? except for like reborn and such.

sinistervw Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 this is the thing i love about the star wars univers! it is so real feeling that we have given it its own history...there is no book/movie series i have ever seen that compares in this way...i would say a distant 2nd would be Star Treck, but it just doesnt feel the same as the star wars univers does!

Lostman Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Star Wars with no Jedi or Lightsabre is like Caddyshack with not BabyRuth. This is a great question and all, but I hope you all don't dedicate too much time to it. Mainly because there is no answer. You can talk to George Lucas and he can make one up, but that's about it.

Pol Favre Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 i'll just make up something for myself. of course, it won't fit with what other people may create, but who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar KoroMis Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Well, as you probably know, "A LONG time ago in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY" Which means, if they ever DIDN"T have lightsabers than they prolly used swords/lead guns or pellets, and the Jedi constructed the weapon themselves so something DID exist before the Jedi, but that was over 500 years, because we know that Yoda is over 500 years old =) Not to mention, who knows, SW took place in "A galaxy far far away" it could have been anything, use your imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
