[OT] Lightsaber Nunchucks

By Crabbok, in X-Wing

I think not. I'm all for exotic lightsabers, but this one is a no-go in my books. Ever used nunchuks before? Sure, they're cool and flashy, but a lot of their moves involve hitting yourself with them before you can swing them the other way. Too much of a risk of self-mutilation there. Also, as soon as someone blocks your attack, that side goes limp and falls towards you unless you swing it back the opposite direction.

And good luck trying to block a lightsaber with those.

And so you could hit yourself with the lightsaber-chuck as welll, no problem. YOU WOULD HIT YOURSELF WITH THE HILT - the same part that your hand touches. The blade would extend from the BASE of the hilt.

I would argue lightsabre Wolverine claws would be more effective .. and cooler.

The railing in the throne room in Jedi takes quite a beating from Luke's saber as well, before finally deciding to be cut through at the same time vader's hand is.

Besides protecting themselves from damage from there own chucks by using the force noone took into consideration that the chucker may also only activate the blades by using the force when the feel that the blade will do the desired damage to there target, and quickly turn the sabre off when its close to hitting themselves. Some unstable crystal cause the blade to be fully projected instantly.

Alternatly the sabre chucks can do the above BUT with the style Exur used with his double bladed lightsabre. The project light that was manipulated to look like a sabre beam. People trying to block or impact counter the blade would be cought off guard because there blade would pass through Exurs blade. He would then set it to normal and take the persons head off.

If a Jedi were not foucused using the force to "FEEL" what to do when dealing with a light chucker, it would completly throw them off during the fight if they tried deflecting the light chuckers attacks only to over extend or stumble because the chuckers blades are passing through there blade.

Now besides the fact Sith have supernatural lightsabres most the time and with skill and traing the can make a crystal that will produce a unnatural blade that can do whatever the designer wants there is one other type of lightsabre that the chucks could be.

I believe if these chuck sabres were the "Hard Light" type of Lightsabre the user wouldnt worry about being cut by there own Sabre. I think Hardlight sabres cant cut / burn / stabe enemies BUT it can smash bones...

I think in order to use the light chucky they do learn to pad themselves with the force.

Wow. This is clever.

As clever as it is, it's the kind of clever that makes me stop reading stories or following a mythos. Do a favor for me and never write for any sci-fi properties or comics.

Ehh you do know Jedi, Sith, and other force users do what I mentioned except they use it to defend themselves from other enemies attacks, including direct lightsabre strikes...

in your sig you have written one of the code of the Jedi which in esence is about peace to others ands ones self.... Your attack at me breaks this code. Are you a Sith?

You've misinterpreted if you thought it was an attack.

I recognize your explanation as clever. It is clever. I wasn't being sarcastic or anything. I often engage in nerdy conversations about such matters and I often come up with such clever ways of explaining the bad writing of comic and sci-fi authors. Despite the fact that I can come up with such ideas, I don't think they are a good way of telling a story or supporting a mythos. Having that thought is not an attack on myself. Maybe this is how we ended up with the Special Ed.s and everything that followed. Maybe Lucas thought anyone telling him his ideas were not the best were attacking him and he surrounded himself with insufferable "Yes Men" and that's how ideas like Greedo shooting and Jar Jar actually made it to the screen.

Hmmm.

Also, my sig is a guide. There's a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path.

Ridiculous idea sir/madam.

As mentioned, don't watch Michael Bay's idea!

Fixed!

Other than the one-shot Turtles Teach Karate comic books, just about nothing seen in any version of TMNT is an accurate depiction of the use of any of their weapons. Dual blades and dual Nuncha? Throwing Sai? Throwing Bo? Seriously, do not ever look to TMNT for realistic ninja behavior or weapon use.

In that case the entire affair would be so long as to sever your ribs or thighs when tucking them under your arms.

IM sorry BUT WE KNOW A ATTACK WHEN WE SEE ONE. THY SUBTLETY IS BUT A FRACTION BETTER THAN THE SUBTLETY OF THE PROMETHEUS SUPPORTER THAT ATTACKITH US AVP FANS BY STATING

"WE ARE ALL VERY STUPID IDIOTS FOR SUPORTING OR DEFENDING AVP, BUT IM NOT PERSONALLY ATTACKING ANY OF YOU" FOLLOWED BY A SMUG YET INSULTING SMILEY FACE.

THE REST MAY HAVE FALLEN FOR SUCH TOM FOOLERY, BUT WE CAN SEE AN INSULT A MILE AWAY AS CLEARLY AS THY SEES THE SEASONS CHANGE.

CAN WE HAS THE CHOCOLATE CAKE?

Wouldn't this require a lightsaber skeleton?

I mean, Wolverine could pull it off but I don't think he would be very happy about it...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but you don't seem sorry.

I may be missing an "internet thing" here or something because I'm old and I only recently figured out that "lmao" is not supposed to be read as "eye-mayo", but I wasn't going for subtle, either. I would not like to see your idea of using The Force to protect oneself against lightsaber-nunchaku. I think the idea of lightsaber-nucha is bad and any explanation of its existence is therefore tainted. Clever as it may be, I don't like your explanation. That's not an attack on you, or even your idea. Younglings, and other, older Jedi, let Yoda know that they don't like the smell of the stuff he eats in the Jedi cafeteria in Dark Rendezvous. One can follow the Jedi Code and still not like stuff, and tell others that one does not like stuff, and still not be attacking, and still not be breaking The Code.

Hey! I like AVP!!

Really???, greettings.
