now this we need to do!



Has anyone ever seen this? i heard about it today at work and looked it up. i thought it was hilarious and printed out a few copies. as i stood there looking at it, i couldnt help but think "this would be an awesome Empire challenge" and thought that, when the girls come down for new years, we could get together and see who gets BINGO first. just a thought, if you know someone who would get a laugh outta this then save the picture to your computer and print a few copies.

other than that ive had Star Wars on the mind. concerning stuff like lightsabers (my personal choice and the choice of others) Jedi and Sith dress, and story line for my own characters within the universe. i asked one of the guys at work what his own personal lightsaber would be and the description goes as follows: the handle would be as tall as the user, and would produce a lightsaber blade at both ends of the 'staff' the blades that emanated would be just as tall (if not taller) than the user, so he would have maximum reach.

as he explained this to me i added that the weapon should be a Dual-phase weapon, what that means is that the beams should be adjustable in length almost immediately so that the beams could be maximum length then they could be halfened or more so as not to contact an unwanted object or surface. that... and the physical body of the weapon would probably want to be built with anti-lightsaber materials so that if the opponent was able to get close the weapon would not be destroyed from a single lightsaber blow. then after asking the SW fanatic at my work he continued to say that the staff should be collapseable so it can be carried easily on the person.

after a little more thought i figured that this particular choice of weapon would be hard to use as a bowstaff type weapon, a better disipline for something like this would be like a Lance or a spear, and 'poking' tactics over slash and cut strategy.

my personal lightsaber would have to be a pair of Guard Shoto's (lightsaber tonfa (nightstick)) they would be a standard length lightsaber blade if not a little longer and would be primarily for defense and long offense. my personal blade color would probably have to be Blue, representing the Jedi Guardians who were more to using their skill with the lightsaber over the Force in combat. if i was to get really picky i would have a pair of Dark blue colored beams, and after lots and lots of training i would probably change to purple which represents lightsaber mastery. and to once again go picky they would be a deep dark Amethyst shade of purple.

beyond this i have thought up some other lightsaber styles that ill talk about another day.

what about everyone else? what kind of lightsaber would you use and what color would it be

We should do it in teams

Alright, here goes. I think I'd like to know Jar'Kai, fighting with two lightsabers, branching from form VI, Niman, the balanced, jack of all trades form. One standard Yellow blade, representing the Jedi Sentinal, and a shorter red bladed secondary saber for defense.

the Jedi counsel wouldnt like you much for having a red lightsaber, but look what happened to them.

Btw the short lightsabers are called "shoto's"

Josh said...

Yeah, in retrospect, I looked them up afterward, I'm just used to KoTOR, they're just short lightsabers there. Really, as a Jedi, I'd probably do some other things the Counsel wouldn't like either. Look at Qui Gon, that's one of the things that made him so cool. He did what was right, not always by the book.
