or yoda man that would kick. dooku wouldnt have goten anywhere man

True true. He already was all over the place with a normal saber, imagine with a double saber? man he would totally flip out.

[RaSiN_HeCk]

Sure but why does the way Obi-wan slaughters that acklay (dunno how its spelled) looks pretty cool doesn't it?? So he's not a jedi??
A double saber for a jedi wouldn't be ment to look cool, but he would be better in protecting the peace.

the WANTING to look cool not being cool is arrogant, and I suppose the sabers take twice as long to create so why bother if you're just gonna end up killing people(unjedi like aint it?) yeah I saw Luke and Obi-Wan kill some people, but that's because they had too(some times the killed when they didn't have to because it would just look badass in a movie)

[ErDb33rjOgHuRt]

Yeah its all for the movies and the ppl. They have to make it cool so ppl go and watch it again and buy the dvd.

or a dual saber :

looking kool would just be in the process of taking the most power/speed efficeint way to solving the problem. atherwise how would lucas be so rich :lol:

Finally someone brought this up. I've mentioned this before in the Jk3 forums.
Double-bladed sabres are Sith only. I believe the official site also stated that DB-sabres were reserved for training purposes by the Jedi.
Remember, Jk3 is way in the future based on the Star Wars timeline. Double-bladed sabre wielding might be taught to the students because of the increasing Sith threat. Having Darth Maul around served as a warning already. it is probable that Db-sabre Masters might not have existed in the Jedi until Jedi Academy/JK3's time.
And KotOR happened 4000 years prior to TPM, and changes might have occured. But isn't it a little too fast for them to get a DB-sabre? When did Exar Kun create the Db-Sabre?
But I think KotOR has a double sabre, not a double-bladed one, as an option.

But still, unless JK3 give tell us the reason for the character getting a DB-sabre, then it really isn't faithful to the movies, is it not?

It doesn't HAVE to be faithful to the movies. The games are only based on the Star Wars universe. There's this little thing called artistic license that lets the creators take it in whatever direction they want, as long as it still resembles Star Wars.

its a lucasarts production of course its going to be 'faithful' to the movies. KotR has DBS ive been to the site alot. and it cant be that far in the future cuz kyles still alive and thriving.

maybe theyll tell us in the game

[Gael Amastacia]

LucasArts has pretty much nothing to do with LucasFilm . The only relationship they have is they're owned by the same people, and they turn out more or less the same stuff. Therefore, LucasArts doesn't HAVE to make things exactly in kind with the Star Wars movies.
