Two sabers have always seemed pointless to me, more like the idea of 'I suck with one, so I'll try two' I personally lean towards dualbladed, but it hasn't been used to its fullest in the movies. _______________ In nomine Patris, et Filius, Spiritus sanctus. |

The strongest is the one you master most, but I think that dual bladed needs the most skill. With two sabers, you block with one, and slice with the other.... _______________ Quote: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.

double blade is pretty damn good if you know how to use it well. double single blade is really strange since theres really only one blade swinging and the other guarding  _______________ Im so fat, i can't see my nuts- Spidey the force is too strong |

MY two cents: I think the way it goes is a jedi witht he proper training can adapt his style to any saber type. If you noticed Anikin use a single saber though out the movie till the end. In the end Oni Wan was incapasitated and tryin to give Anikin an advantage becaue of Annikins deep connection to the force. My thinking on this is that any good trainer in the Jedi Academy would train for any type of situation that might come up. Think about Anikin when he becomes Darth Vader only use 1 saber. Why is that? Because he was never ina situation after becoming Vader where he may have needed it. So in my opinion a Jedi's ability to wield either a saber staff or two sabers depends on his level of training and his connection with the force. -Ender-  |

If you have 2 sabers and you have practised a LOT. I think it's the best style. Since you can throw one and continue fghting with the other. If you are fighting against someone with just 1 saber you can distract him with your first saber. And then suddenly strike with the 2nd. I can imagine defence will be a little bit worse then a single saber, as you have to focus on 2 things at the same time. BTW, if 1 of your hands get chopped off, you still have 1 with saber to continue the fight _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue.

Single saber) Ok, you can block a lazer and hold off a jedi, but what about two simultanious blaster shots? Or what if while you're blocking one saber, another is cutting down on you? Light-staff) You can block two so you've got a foot up on the problem, but what if the two aren't in a line that you can get? Like, what if one comes from in front of you and one from above? Or behind? Two sabers) Lots of freedom to be defensive and offensive at the same time. Hard to adjust to but if you had the skill to do it you could kick butt! _______________ I must not fear .

i think two blade would actully have a lot of defence,especially for blaster shots _______________ The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. Bertrand Russell http://www.thejediacademy.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=970 |

First u can saberlock with all sabers even 2 or double bladed ones . I think there isnt a generally best saber. Each Jedi/Sith picks the one he likes best. And each Jedi/Sith is good with the one he has it doesnt matter if u have 2 sabers or double bladed. You have trained with those since the beginning so you can become equally good with 2 as another is with only 1. |

In theory, it would depend on what you want to do. When you use a single saber, you can put more strenght behind your swings and strike more accurately and still have a good defense. When using two, you give up some accuracy and power, but are able to attack more often or use the other saber for increased defense. This requires talent and training, of course. The double bladed also gives you more attack power, but also requires more training/talent to use. The fact that it is purely a killing weapon is why the jedi council discouraged use of these sabers. I would say that a single saber is probably the most practical, because it has good attack power and defense, and it is easier to master than the other two. _______________ Second-in-command of the mighty FiZZsters |

that's what i mean m8, for example, count dooku is better in single bladed then dm, but dm is better in double. so i say again, that depens on the jedi/sith who use it. And if i would be a sith (i hate jedi) then i would specialize myself in 2 sabers, because that rocks. _______________ Council member of ={TAO}=, site: http://www.tao-clan.tk/ |

I think all sabers have their advantages and disadvantages, so who has the best saber depends on how strong the Force within that person is and how well he / she is trained. |

That was due to strength in the force though, I'm sure if obi had a double saber (and the training for it) and maul only with single, he'd still wh00p him. About the gyroscopic thing, that is an actual fact, I'm surprised you havn't heard of that, but I can't for the life of me remember where I read it, although I'm pretty sure it was an official source. About everyone using lightsabers, Mr Lucas's original idea was to have Everyone have one, all the stormtroopers and everything as he reaslised how cool a weapon the lightsaber was and more fight scenes would look cool. Then he realised that this would detract from the uniqueness of the weapon and also not fit in with the technology era. I.e primitive people use melee weapons, advanced use guns, Jedi who are like special gifted people use melee weapons jsut because they are so deadly when used to maximum potential. I think I even read somewhere that the jedi would have special guns instead of sabers (imagine JKII duels but no saber, only bryar :eek , but I'm not positive on this. _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side

I've never heard that before jake. The only time I've really seen any repulsion between two sabers is when they connect and Luke and Vader were able to keep them touching for a time. And I think there is actually some continuity issues with Jedi being the only ones to use sabers. Supposedly before the invention of the blaster everyone used sabers. Then they fell out of use only to be used by Jedi. Like I said Continuity issue. And Cmad was asking about the theoretically/practically best saber style. And since its what you start out learning and most are comfortable with it, and you consider that the times we've seen someone fight with a double bladed lightsaber and two lightsabers they were both defeated by an opponent wielding a single saber. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

There's a reason why it takes quite a dueller to handle something like a doublebladed saber or two. Maul didn't learn it all in one day. |

another thing which I'm surprised you didn't put buzz lightsabers cause a sort of gyroscopic effect. Imagine holding to massive magnets exactly the same next to each other. The feeling you get as they repel is supposedley what its like to handle a lightsaber. This, along with the massless blade is why only jedi or force sensitive individuals can handle a lightsaber effectively as you need to predict and know where the saber is when you swing it. _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side

You also need to consider that lightsabers really have no mass. All the weight is in the hilt which is a reason why they are so dangerous. You're essentially holding a weighted handle with a blade lighter than thin plastic. A single blade would require you to worry a lot less about slicing off your own arm or body part. Another thing to consider is that when you see Anakin wielding two sabers he has his hands extended away from his body making his arms a target allowing someone to slice up or down in that area and lop off an arm. While if you are only using a single saber where you keep both hands on it you keep your area of target much smaller. Even if you were to swing a saber like a baseball bat you don't extend your arms out all the way until they are infront of you leaving you still with the same width for your opponent to attack >---X---< or >X< see the idea. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

ur right Flamori..... Single bladed: good for fight against one (1 on 1)... Good defense. Good offense; quick and useful for lunges. Double bladed: good for fight against two (1 on 2)... Good defense. Not _so_ good (it is good though) offence; not lunges Two sabers: Each hand has a saber.... So defense stinks because one hand it less stronger than two hands together.... Attack; pretty good; not strong though. What do u think??? Comments? _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |
