I prefer double-bladed because I can actually fight with a staff in real life. A SMALL reason why I would use double-blade is because of Neo...he used a staff and was FRICKIN' good with it. That doesn't make me decide, but I just love that part. Having a double-bladed saber can make it easier to fight 2 on 1. You got my vote. I'll shut up now.

Perilous, because I'm bound to get into fights I can't win. Drunken, because ALE! Angel, because a valkyrie is basically an angel of Odin.

thats correct neo :) About the advantages and disadvantages, its small things. This is what I know so far:

Double bladed saber users cannot throw the saber (think about it, the othewr blade would cut you up :))
Double bladed saber users can kick(not the lame backflip we have at the moment, a proper kick!!)
Single blade users cannot kick, they can throw saber.
About dual sabers I havn't a clue :)Praps theres a limit to the powers you can use, since both your hands are full ?

It is possible to have single, double, or double-bladed. In the E3 preview they used a code that split the double-bladed into a double saber to display the double saber without actually playing the whole game. But you won't be able to switch back and foward between them like that.

As far as I know at this point each style has it's own advantages and disadvantages,and unique moves.

ok so as I understand it there are three types.

Single(what we are used to)

Two Singles(what we are used to plus a second in the other hand)

Double(Darth mauls)

But i got a questions:

are they all equally powerful?(like they each have there advantages and disadvantages)

or is it Single is the least powerful and Two Singles and Double are equal with there own ups and downs?

Double-bladed looks the coolest, but two sabers might be more efficient. Oh boy I can't wait :D

no no no, you can have 2 single sabers, you jsut cann't switch between them and a double bladed. Everyone starts off with single saber, but as you progress you get to have double or dual later on in the missions.

I recently read that the double bladed lightsaber is something you choose in the begining when designing your hilt and saber color.
either single or or double bladed
there is no trading back and forth. As for having 2 single bladed lightsabers. It is merely a code you must enter into the game the makers of jk3 said that they only showed pictures for the movie or something. Ya.
So as for switching back and forth, (unless i read horribly wrong and i don't believe i did) you cannot. You are either stuck with one or stuck with the infamous darthmaul blade.

well im sure that dualsabers and doublebladed wont be able to change, like splitting the dual or turning off one, and they said so somewhere, look at dbs posts.

i'll go dual. i haven't heard that the double can be split (and certainly not re-connected), but both dual and doulbe take away your ability to use any force power that requires your hands (so goodbye lighting and grip...). with dual, you can throw one while chopping away with the second, but, according the the e3 interviews, you can't turn one off and play single -- although that may change...

What is funny is that I fence with either dual rapiers or dual epee (pronounced eh-PAY) so it will be interesting to see what kind of styles they include for dual sabers.

Well. form 2 sabers to duel makes sense. You only have to click a button and they go apart. And again, I don't know 100% sure but I read it somewhere and it makes sense. Because single lightsaber is going to be more systamtic and a lot better in 1 on 1 fights and you have more stances with 1 lightsaber

yeah, heared that too küller... a bit silly though, isnt it? maybe they goanna do it like the 3 stances, you can change your sabers with one clikc during a fight. i'd prefer if you had to choose it like your forces and make it really different. double bladed to single bladed sounds ok to me, maul does that aswell. but from double bladed to dual saber? come on, thats just c**p

But two sabers would be nice too, but I think I'll wait and see which kind fits me best.
