I literally can't tell the difference between that and any other lightsaber.

The implication that she learned all these advanced techniques for "healing Kyber crystals" and poo poo, and then just hastily duct-taped and welded the Anakin saber back together instead of forging her own is -- if anything -- way more insulting to people's intelligence

It's stereotypical, but oh my god, there's so much that could have been done with "Rey the Healer". Emrikol fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Feb 10, 2020 |

Jedi: Fallen Order does a way, way better job of handling broken light sabers.

also the protag losing their lightsaber at the end of the second movie and making a new one already has a precedent while there's a bunch of other stuff in the prequels that would contradict it that are relatively important ('this weapon is your life!' [throws saber underneath the passenger seat]), i almost want there to be a scene where anakin loses his lightsaber and then when he returns to the temple there's a big lost and found bin full of lightsabers and he just grabs one of those

They do something a little like that in episode 2; Anakin and Obi-Wan's lightsabers are confiscated and they're about to be executed, then a bunch of Jedi show up and throw them some spares

Darth Maul was technically this, since his double-ender was literally just two lightsabers stuck together that could both function independently. (and it pays off given one of them gets destroyed in the fight with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan)

Ghost Leviathan posted:Darth Maul was technically this, since his double-ender was literally just two lightsabers stuck together that could both function independently. (and it pays off given one of them gets destroyed in the fight with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan) Thing is, Jedi in the old republic generally didn't have to account for having to fight other people with lightsabers. The Sith were supposedly in hiding for 1000 years until Maul showed up. I'm sure if Dark Jedi were more of a common thing, this would be a more common occurrence, but the vast majority of Jedi would never face off against another force user outside of sparring. So the risk of damage to one's weapon was significantly lower. Which is supposedly why Windu and Kenobi were tasked with taking on Palps and Dooku respectively; they were somewhat unique in their focus and training, that being fighting other Saber users. In Kenobi's case it was probably due to being the first Jedi to face a Sith warrior and live in a millenia, and Windu basically invented some crazy Light Saber form that somewhat toed the line towards the dark side, or was one of the only jedi to ever master it. Can't remember which.

The Sith were supposedly in hiding for 1000 years until Maul showed up. Depends on how things go, some EU stuff has rogue Jedi definitely be a thing (Count Dooku was one before he went full Sith Lord), with one of Qui Gon's apprentices going rogue, enough that they practice lightsaber combat to keep sharp. I think what took them by surprise is that the Sith as an organised force were still out there, and they ran into a full blown Sith warrior with his own refined techniques and skill to match a Jedi Master that they have absolutely no record of. There's some suggestion that the Jedi are aware the history of the Sith is that as an organisation they tend to completely implode because the Dark Side encourages an attitude that makes Decepticons look loyal and stable, so they establish the Rule of Two so that the master and apprentice have incentive to work together until they're sure the apprentice has learned everything they can before disposing of the master. 'Cannibalistic leapfrog' I think the novelisation likens it to. And Yoda senses this one way or another, though they're not sure whether Maul was the master or the apprentice. And it was a bit of both; Windu's fighting style is said to dip into the Dark Side and he's the only one to ever master it without falling to the dark.

It was mostly a mindset thing. You had to channel barely controlled rage and anger etc AFAIK. Mace Windu was able to do so without actually ever losing control.

The Jedi are dumb." E: And Obi-Wan's Mandalorian girlfriend in Clone Wars.

Trying to humanize the Jedi and view them from a modern/post-modern lens of deconstructing stark dichotomies was a huge mistake. Leave them wise mysterious space monks who are the good guys imo
