Not only that but we allow more room for off topic discussion here than on the official forums.

[TheChosenOne-]

but can you throw a double edge saber.....

[Greda Pa'sun]

I thnk i'll be going for mace windu style, one single purple lightsabre.. but later on in the game i might switch to a double ended purple sabre... Woudn't it be cool to have two double ended lightsabres? Would take alot of skill to weild

 

For the dark side i'll start off with a dual red sabres.. then when i'm more of a master switch the the traditional red single sabre

[jedi3112]

I'm not sure where but I've read somewhere that all double bladed weapons require 2 hands to use them, so I 'don't think you can use 2 doublebladed lightsabers, that's why I'm using 2 singlebladed lightsabers

[KaBuTaR]

it would make sense to need two hands to control a double-bladed - after all darth maul usually had to use two hands in ep 1... so it would make sense to follow that pattern...

[Burrie]

I would like to point out that Exar Kun, the Sith Lord whom practically invented the double-bladed saber, fought with one hand in a totally different style than Maul's.

 

However, I believe the developers already mentioned somewhere that you can't find with two double-bladed saber. Besides, I personally think it would look silly anyways.

[Greda Pa'sun]

it was just curiosity, i don't know as much about star wars as you guys and i didn't know if anyone had done it before maybe in a comic or a book

[DarthHalo]

i would start off with a single red lightsaber

 

then a double:dsaber:

 

and when i become a master and if they have them i would get a sith sword:swrd2:

[mace87]

adi Gallia has a red saber.

 

i want two sabers one purple and the other green. i hope that we can dress in a traditional jedi cloak... i doubt it though.

[TheChosenOne-]

Sorry Mace...her lightsaber is crimson.Its silly,but its true.

All this talk of double edge sabers,but the million dollar question is--can you throw it like a single saber???Someones gotta know.

--Hows this for a idea,use two sabers,then combine them for a double edge....sounds good,but it'll never be seen.

[KaBuTaR]

so crimson saber does not equal sith red saber??

 

interesting... wonder how you could tell the difference

[TheChosenOne-]

I know,crimson....what can i say.I guess its a darker red or something.Theres gotta be 50 different color red types.I didn't pick the colors,or give adi a crimson one,just trying to state the color as its shown on the box adi came in.

[takennames]

the color doesnt really matter, what id want is like 10 light sabers at once .i read this in a SW book in which a crazy jedi thing (he was like a force experiment, kinda hard to explain, ud have to read the book) had lightsabers popping out of this elbows n knees and shoulders and of course two in his hands. now that would be awesome (though uncomfortable).

 

too bad you cant do that in the game, but it would be impossible to hit the char if something like that happened.

[TheChosenOne-]

Think thats weird,i saw this art pic that had Dexster(dinner guy in ep2) with fOUR SABERS...yeah,some guy drew a pic of dexters relative with four yellow sabers...looked cool.Thats another reason why I was disappointed you can only have a 'human' as your starting character.

[Taos]

That sounds quite strange to me.....though I think that 99 % of the EU is just plain odd. The most I would need is two sabers.....I don't need 10 unless the other 8 are in my ship or something.

[takennames]

well of course u dont need 10, i think 1 is generally enough, but 2 looks cool :saberb:

 

 

and maybe 10 or even 4 will look better...

 

:saberb: :saberb:

 

especiallly is they are multi colored

[Jedi Apprentice]

I think four Lightsabers would just weigh your belt down.

 

You can have four though and chop off your own limbs when you try to use them.

 

Whatever floats your boat.

[jedi3112]

Does any1 know what the advantage of using 1 singlebladed saber is over a doublebladed saber and over 2 singles and vice versa?

 

I doubt it will change my choice of 2 sabers, I just think it looks cool and I think all wil be just as deadly when you know how to use them. However I think that some special attacks will be more powerfull with 2 singles or a dualblade (like the whirwind feat)

[Jedi Apprentice]

Different sabers are faster than others. This is how someone told me it goes:

 

Double bladed= fastest

Single blade= medium

Double Sabers= slowest

 

Dont eat me if this is wrong(it'll only be the second time:D). This is just hearsay. Also, having a double bladed or two sabers has certain penalties towards the player I believe.

Frankly, sir, it is to keep things a wee bit in check. After all, since dual-wielding or wielding a double-bladed saber gives advantages, it also must give disadvantages. And to stay a bit positive, any enemy who wields a double-bladed saber or dual-wields two sabers will have the same penalties as well. Also, those penalties are there to somewhat simulate that not any Jedi can suddenly pick up two sabers and fight with them.

 

Now, you can remove those penalties by choosing certain feats upon levelling, I believe, although there will always be some sort of penalty.

 

(note that if your post was meant to be sarcastic, slap me once for good measure... I shouldn't post at 2:16 AM )

 

 

As for jedi3112's question, I would expect that wielding two blades allows you to make two attacks during one round, which would be its advantage over the others. Of course, you also have a lesser chance of actually hitting your opponent, and possibly a lower chance to defend yourself as well. As mentioned, these penalties can be lessened with certain feats.

 

For a double-bladed, I seriously have no idea. My thoughts are that a double-bladed saber might give you a bonus upon defending yourself, but penalties upon attacking someone else. Naturally, the penalties can be reduced with, say-it-with-me, feats.

 

For a single blade, I think you'll have no bonuses, but also no penalties for it, which will probably be its advantage over the other blades. Plus, there might be special feats which you can only use with a single blade.

[TheChosenOne-]

Can't we experiment with all three styles??? I mean,we can go to the hawk,and add a saber or exchange a saber or two for a double edge right??

[KaBuTaR]

Burrie, it was meant to be somewhat sarcastic, so you weren't too far off. thanks for the clarification tho - makes sense now
