Double-bladed Saber only for sith?!

***ErDb33rjOgHuRt*** · April 22nd, 2003

I was wondering why the Double-bladed saber only a weapon for the sith is. (As it says in the starwars databank) Does it take some special training or can only the dark side control a double saber properly?? Since the jedi can have 2 light saber at one time
(AOTC - arena) why can't they control a double-bladed saber??

... im not sure ... but i mean a Jedi should be able to lol just with Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, anything NOT sith colors for the blades .... hmmm they should lol!

if you think about it, double bladed staffs look and are a offisive weapon, now Jedis are protectors of peace, not bad ass brawlers

Hmmm, thats opinion. To me the double bladed saber is as deadly as a normal light saber is and doesn't look more offensive... Also jedi are allowed to have 2 lightsabers at one time wouldn't that be 'offensive', too?

No, while double lightsabers are not normally used by jedi, as far as I know there is no restriction on not building them.
And, even if there was, it certianly does not exsist in the timeframe which JK3 is set.

The databank on star wars says that it is a weapon of the sith. it even has its own entry 'sith lightsaber' so i think only sith are allowed to use it. A restriction exsists.

Quote:

Starwars databank:
The Sith lightsaber is basically two lightsabers end-to-end. It can be selectively used with only one end ignited.

Maybe jk3 is wrong for that part?? Maybe that restriction doesn't exsists anymore after the jedi council was destroyed.

are you all talkin about JK3??? cause i didnt think a lot of info was out about it, also could u tell me a website where i could find info on it? and, it does make sense that only sith can use 2 bladed sabers, seeing as Xar Kunn made the first 2 bladed saber and he was a sith. It would seem evil for a jedi knight to use a weapon made by evil.

I think it's because the Sith are outnumbered by the Jedi in the movies, so they would carry an extra blade to fight off any extra numbers that they may face. (Darth Maul verses two Jedi.)

***ErDb33rjOgHuRt*** · April 22nd, 2003

Yeah thats a good reason...but if the jedi would use the double bladed sabers, too they would be even better in protecting the peace. Just because the sith are outnumbered they 'reserved' the double bladed saber?

in Jedi Academy you'll be able to use a doublesaber no matter what alignment you have.

Is THAT what everybody's calling JK3...?

EDIT: Nevermind, I answered my own question. I hadn't quite looked into this enough. All I knew was that they were making another game called Jedi Academy.
