And it won't involve moving stuff about with Force powers you are given; you choose them as you gain availability slots in your Force powers list (if it is at all like a SPELL BOOK from BG and BGII...)

From what ive learned i do not think that a jedi earns his lightsaber. But constructs one of his own during his training. Is this also true for KOTOR?

 

I am also interested in how one trains to actualy become a jedi in KOTOR. Do you start out force sensitive then get someone to take you in as their padawan? Or is it a magical system that one day when you reach a certain level POOF. jedi. ...?

:deathii:

I sincerely hope that Jolee Bindo and the academy on Dantooine will help you in becoming a Jedi. Still, I also really hope that they won't take a "Jedi-in-a-day" route, and that there will actually be a time skip of about a month or three, and you'll have some very limited Force Powers by then...

The Jedi probably stopped using them because the council thought that double bladed sabers were too reckless and would maybe lead them to the darkside. The same more than likely happened to duel wielding sabers. And currently Jedi don't have too many enemies who can actually match up to them in melee combat so they may use regular sabers to deflect blaster bolts easier. Thats what i think.

It seems to me that the double bladed saber is made to face two saber wielding enemies. So when the JEdi thought the Sith were destroyed they probably felt they didn't need them anymore(and you know how those Jedi are).

Jedi are supposed to use the Force only for defense, and this includes Lightsabres as well, which is why they switched from Lightsabre to Lightsabre combat style(Such as Dooku uses), to Lightsabre to blaster styles(like Obi-Wan) after the great war. As Otto and Hannibal have pointed out, the Jedi believe the Sith are extinct so they no longer focus on Lightsabre fighting prowess, but more on defense. Which is why Dooku just mangled Obi-Wan and Anakin, they weren't prepared for his style of Lightsabre combat.

 

A double bladed Lightsabre is a weapon of pure offense, seeing anyone with one means that they want to start something. You don't carry one of them and not mean business.:D Just like two Lightsabres, it's a sign of aggression, something the Jedi don't want to be associated with. The Jedi of the prequels have become complacent and done away with things like that. But during the time KOTOR is set, the great Sith war has just ended, and the Jedi are still prepared for a threat, just in case.

 

And yes, I'm aware that there is a Jedi in the Geonosis arena who wields two Lightsabres. But hell, Mace has a friggen purple blade, so I guess there's exceptions to everything:D

 

EDIT: Yes leXX, I know that they just picked up the lightsabres, they don't normally use them. Like Anakin used two fighting Dooku, he "picked" one up as well. It's just that the Jedi don't normally use two lightsabres. I just edited this as I didn't feel this response was worth another post.

The Jedi in the Geonosis Arena that had two sabers didn't start off with two sabers, they just picked up the sabers of their dead comrads.

One thing I'm hoping for is that to get your basic force powers you don't just run into Force blocks (like JO) and then you have them. I thought that was pretty fruity.

Do yall have any suggestions of how we could get our basic force powers without the whole block thing?

Maybe after you finish some training you just end up with the basic ones.
