General Grievous' droid bodyguards also had electrostaves.

The Star Trek situation is actually somewhat similar I guess, in that one author might tell a story about the Enterprise crew that completely contradicts that of another author. A fellow fan cannot insist that "Kirk did such and such" if it didn't happen on screen. Even now, on the Screen Rant podcast I linked above, they were referring to Darth Plagueis as Palpatine's master, when in fact, Palpatine never states on screen in Episode III that Plagueis trained him personally. That's from the EU/Legends. (Unless it's stated in the Clone Wars animated series, in which case I would be mistaken.)rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-74444284211714016152016-01-26T13:58:23.931-06:002016-01-26T13:58:23.931-06:00Been pondering all this as well - mostly because d...Been pondering all this as well - mostly because during the Tr-8R vs Finn fight, my first thought was, "oh man, the First Order has mad access to cortosis" - and then followed a few moments later by "but that's not canon anymore so maybe now anything can block a lightsaber." Nothing in canon says Finn can't pick up a lightsaber and whip some tail with it. <br /><br />Personally, I don't wish for a Star Trek situation - which brings its own issues. I wish for a Marvel situation - let each story stand in an alternate universe of its own.

I don't know if it's jagged edges are because he's not as good at building one, if it's a reflection of his inner turmoil, or if they just thought it looked cool. I'd love to see more about lightsabers, and their significance. I've always liked the "technical" drawings that often come out in books or posters for different shows;firefly, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. I'd like to see canon schematic of a lightsaber, and all the various attributes of colors and crystals. It would be sweet if it was presented as an educational poster that would have graced the walls of a Jedi elementary school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860867689257635059noreply@blogger.com
