I only know that Mace used an electrolum light saber because in the Mace windu movie trailer it said so... I am not an EU nut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mez1109 Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 There is NO REAL point to have electrium light saber, except to allow Samuel's character (Mace Windu) stick out in the movie, as he one of the highest rated actors in SW1&2, of course second to Christopher Lee (Count Dooku), who himself gets a saber with a Rapier or Arab Sword style curving saber handle. Does anyone know if there is any other reason for a electrium light saber? Maybe the saber is does not damage easily, or it feels lighter, or might even still work under water. I am not sure about light saber working or not working under water, as in Jedi Knight 2 they don't work in water, even though JK2 is EU, but GL had his hands in the making, probably NORMAL crystal based light sabers don't work in water. Then again ALL EU are supposed to be approved by GL first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiller_jedi Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 ok jedi's and non jedi's da thing is george L let him have a purple lightsaber. and a purple lighsaber is not created by a cyrstal as they say in one of me friends pic for obiwan lighsaber it says crystal lighsaber that means it uses a crsyal right? right! but in another pic it says about mace's purple lighsaber that it is a electrum lighsaber and if u watch the movie u can hear a slight difference when obi wan turns on his saber and mace's purp lighsaber yes and jedi's make there own saber hilts check and reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit fisto JK Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Originally posted by icepool Seriously has anyone thought about this. I mean If purple was saber choice than I'm sure when some of the other jedi made sabers some would have chosen purple also. But mace is the only jedi with purple as if its one of a kind. If it is one of a kind then they better come up with a good story for it because I think its rediculous that certain people can get what they want and stand out above everyone else. Well anyways any ideas? um maybe its because hes GAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icepool Posted August 25, 2002 Author Share Posted August 25, 2002 um maybe its because hes GAY Maybe just maybe! But if thats the case then why arent there female jedi with purple sabers, obviously that would be ok and you couldn't call them gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy_Of_Sith Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 You gotta admit that purple is pretty feminine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icepool Posted August 25, 2002 Author Share Posted August 25, 2002 Definately thats why I believe since they decided to add purple they should have given it to some of the female jedi, not mace I think it makes him kind of gay. I also think if any jedi should have gotten a special saber to stand out it would have been yoda with a yellow saber like the visual dictionary of episode 1 said.

Norin Radd Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 It's always great to see the intelligent, open-minded conversations in this forum, especially on a subject that has been "beaten to death" for lack of a better term. It may interest some of you to know that the color purple in many great civilizations, among them Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Persia, symbolized nobility and strength of purpose. Great monarchs often donned purple or violet attire as a symbol of leadership and honor. Feminine? Hardly. Just thought you may want to know that. You could ask a macho bounty hunter named Jango Fett if Mace is of a feminine bent, but. . .oh, that's right, Boba Fett was decapitated by the gay looking Jedi with the purple saber.

leXX Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I don't think a purple saber looks gay at all! I think it looks wicked, and you'd be surprised how many guys use a purple saber when they are playing JK2. btw: Jackson refers to it as violet aswell! http://www.cnn.com/2001/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/21/jackson.starwars/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Personally I don't think the purple lightsaber makes him look gay. Plus that is a statement made from your own personal -homophobic or not- view of the world where the color purple is associated with homosexuality. An opinion byassed by the era, aread and culture you live in. It's very well possible that in the Star Wars Galaxy there were no 'gay' people and the color purple might have had a deep symbolic meaning for the Jedi or for Mace's own culture and background. Which could be totally unrelated to sexual preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckcsaber Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I want to see more purple sabers. They look really sweet. Also GL has to put in yellow ones too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollyhills Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Originally posted by Master_Ginn I would have to agree with the purple but there weren't any different colored lightsabers in the Arena battle exept lots of blue and green ones and one purple lightsaber. There were not any yellow ones. And thats all i have to say about that! there were no yellow sabers because originally jedi have blue lightsabers and sith have red ones. but when they came to film return of the jedi george had to change it because the saber did not show up during the battle of carkoon. so he made it green. now jedi have green & blue - sith red. the purple saber war just a request of samuel l. jackson.
