Ancient Lightsabers (pic request)?
|
Okay, I know the question pops up sometimes "Hey! Anyone here built an ancient-style lightsaber?" I know the answer is no, so I'm not gonna ask. I intend to just make one myself.
My question instead is, does anyone know of any pictures of the ancient lightsabers?
That's the only one I can find. 
I don't want to end up making a replica of that, but I need more design ideas. Anyone know of other pics?

Again, I point yet another questioning young Padawan to the Tales of the Jedi comics! Buahahaha. TotJ contains all answers! Bow to Dark Horse.
But seriously, TotJ, being a comic set several thousand years before ANH, has plenty of pictures of ancient lightsabers in it.

PADAWAN?!
Watch yourself, n00b. I've got three mods in my corner.
Yeah, I know there's pics in the comics. But I don't have the comics. And I'm not sure if any comic stores near me will have the comics. I was wondering if there were pics on the NET that I could be pointed to.

DorkmanScott...
I have a pic of a replica of the lightsaber carried by The Dark Woman. While this is not an "ancient" lightsaber, the design is so interesting, and so dissimilar to most sabers, you could draw serious inspiration from it...
The piece was resin cast, and custom painted. It was on "luukessabers.com", and I can't seem to find the website. However, as I said, I have the pics saved...I'll post them as soon as they're uploaded to my webpage...

Okay, I had no luck with uploading tonight, but I DID find the website...it's changed names...
TheLightsaber.com
And here's a pic of The Darkwoman's lightsaber...
Darkwoman Saber
This was a resin cast, as I stated earlier. The same method could be used for constructing an "ancient lightsaber".
Hope that helps out some...

I resent your name, as my name is also Scott. :P
Look around on google a bit, I saw TotJ scans on a page somewhere a few months back. If you still can't find them, I'll take some pics of my comics and send them to you.

Hmmm... both of those sabers - the ancient one and the dark woman's - look very organic. You may want to look at using wood (like a hollowed-out branch), or even sculpting some kind of "melted wax" prototype, and then casting from that. I believe one of the characters in the Young Jedi Knights books (and, of course, I can't think of her name) uses a bone for her handle.
There's tons of possibilities for an ancient-styled saber. You could even use the standard chrome look and just tinker with it so that it looks less refined, and more cobbled.
Just a few ideas.

Me and friend prefer the designs of the TOTJ: Knight Of Old Republic onwards lightsabres. One of these days, I gonna built my Jedi/Sith one with elements from those lightsaber (mostly the claws part )
Kreleia, I think you got Tenel Ka from the NJO and Young Jedi Knight Series in mind. Ya, hers was made from the Racor Tooth of her Grandma's Favourite (Dead) Rancor.

Yeh, I almost bought a Dark Woman when they did a run of 'em.
Have you heard they're working on a version done up in metal?
But the "organic" advice is very useful. I feel kind of stupid not having thought of it before.
And Luukesabers is a great site. It's where I linked the protosaber pic from.
Thanks for the help.
Oh, and Chevalier, Scott is actually my LAST name. That makes it better, right?

If Luukesabers makes a Dark Woman saber in metal, I may actually purchase one. I make all of my own props, but casting isn't one of my skills...(yet). I'd love to see that saber in a bronze casting...

This site hasn't been updated in YEARS, but it has some very cool hilts, many of which fall in the "ancient style" category (the gold one with a handguard, for example):The Hilt. Use the "browse entire gallery" to view all of them at once.

Tenel ka was one of my favorite charactors in that book series. Too bad noone thought of making a TV series from them, it would've been intersting.

I've always thought that would be a good idea, too. I enjoyed the books (for young readers I know, but hey...I love to read)
Tenel Ka's saber would be very interesting to make. I might do that this summer, along with a wooden hilt. In a recent Dark Horse comic, there was a Wookie Jedi Master whose lightsaber included wood...

Thanks for the link Stormtrooperprincess,
The sabre i liked was Drennin Valdoa's. WHoa. Only thing I'd change on it would be the hook. I'd make that a D-ring so it'll stay put.Now Ihave to see if I can locate pics of this thing from ALL angles, then see if I can make this thing.
here's the link so you can see it.
this is Padawan's Valdoa's sabre
http://members.tripod.com/MousieDroid/Hilt/The_Hilt.html
I also like THIS sabre too.
http://members.tripod.com/MousieDroid/Hilt/The_Hilt.html
So tell me what you people think of these as potential sabres. I have my work cut out for me. :-)

Sweetie, The Hilt uses frames, so if you want to post a direct link to a particular lightsaber page, you'll need to right-click on the link, choose "copy shortcut," and then paste that into here. One of the downsides of frames. But they do have awesome saber designs, don't they?

Mynn...
Is it...This one?
I liked that one...gold tone sabers are really nifty. I love the one I did for Niralle...
BTW...the way I link pics is to right click the image, go to "properties" then copy the http:// address, then create a link by means shown in the "markup codes" section...
At any rate, great site...great sabers...many of them could fit into the "Ancient Lightsaber" category...
