Did you even read my post? All I was saying was that this new sabre setup will require a different style than they usually use. Your points don't address anything I actually said. You just seem to be venting your frustrations over the ridiculousness of Star Wars' sabre fighting styles in general, none of which I was even remotely defending.Akira110 wrote:First of all. Technically it's not a blade. Second of all... the [censored] that they do in the other movies with the spinning your blade around and flourishing, would get you killed fast. Third of all, have you ever used a sword!? A sword is effectively most useful when you use your wrist. It's a style of finesse, not power. If you look at the other movies, when they're not flourishing, they're using power type strikes, which AGAIN would get you killed. The only saving grace is that their blade has Zero weight, which means they can recover faster. And finally, if you hit your own wrist guard or yourself with your wrist guard, you are doing something fundamentally wrong to begin with.Tuna wrote:...and multi-blade lightsabres mean that, to use them safely, the wielder would have to keep their wrists very stiff,
...and they are blades. I mean, they're a dozen or so inches of burning plasma, right? If running your finger across them will tend to leave you fingerless, then they are blades. A blade can be a guard, but a guard doesn't have to be a blade.
Aaaanyway, anything we say about it at this point is only conjecture, drawn from two seconds of video. They could be cherry Twizzlers for all we know.
