you know... those glowy laser swords.

talk about colors, hilts, styles... really anything you want to!

For example...

I'm getting kind of ticked off that Luke's hilt is starting to get misdrawn on most covers. In Jo Chen's Invasion #1 Luke clearly has Yoda's hilt (probably used a force fx master replicas green saber as a model) and the same thing happened on the cover of "FotJ: Allies". From my knowledge I never remember him losing or breaking his original green from RotJ.

Also what is the color of Anakin (Solo) and Jaina's sabers? They were both originally supposed to be purple in text, but most American artists draw Anakin's blue and Japanese cover art has his as purple. Some people also try and make Jaina's blue as well. Check out that image from the Jedi vs Sith sourcebook.

A trident style lightsaber would be cool although impratical. Well, if I'm really going to go the impratical route, some lightsaber nun-chuks would do the trick. From there the possibilities could be endless. Pretty much any type of martial artsy weapon, just think of it with a big fat lighted blade on the end. You might even work some throwing stars in there, who knows?

I remember those police baton looking sabers Maris Brood had in TFU and thinking, "those would totally not work, but cool idea!" Come to think of it, TFU had a few characters with cool looking variations on the saber idea.

I've taken Luke's sabre on the cover of Invasion # 1 to be his old ANH/TESB sabre, just with the innards tinkered with-granted, he gave it to Mara, but as she has at least one other sabre of her own, I don't see why Luke couldn't borrow his old one back from time to time whenever he doesn't feel like toting his Kenobi-clone hilt around.

Anakin and Jaina Solo both have purple or violet bladed lightsabers. I also liked Maris Brood's tonfa sabers.

One of the letters at the end of Invasion 5 mentions that Anakin's blade should be purple. It says it will be corrected in the TPB.

I also wish they would correct the ages of Jacen and Anakin too. Jacen looks about 30, and Anakin looks 10. They're only supposed to be 1 year apart!

Zayne is the Sith Emperor. Both use the Force,
both lived around the same time and Zayne is
friends with Gryph who is a notorious con-artist.
See! it all fits together perfectly!

I made a thread on this earlier, but who else thinks they should have Ben use a non standard lightsaber configuration.

Either him having a Lightstaff, double handed (with or without a shoto for the second blade), or just something different. I'm more partial to him having a staff, just look at what he did in Outcast. When he first started training with the staff with the other Kel-Dors he got defeated handily. Then in the books climax he defeats one of their foremost masters. Marked improvement if I'm looking at it straight.

We know that Shado Vao uses a lightstaff in Legacy, he had to have learned to use it from somewhere right?

Seriously! A WOOKIE, with a LIGHTSABER. That's just overkill.

I thought Jaina's was supposed to be more blueish?

Nope, Jaina has always had a violet bladed saber. I haven't read Invasion yet, but did they give Lowbacca his bronze colored blade, or did they screw that up?

Does Ulic Qel-Droma's lightsaber have a consistent color?

In TOTJ: Knights of the Old Republic, he has a green lightsaber blade; come Dark Lords of the Sith, he possesses a blue one. During the Great Sith War, it gets weird: he has a green lightsaber on one cover and when fighting Mandalore, but possesses a red one when he duels Cay on Ossus. To compound the mystery, he has a yellow one in Redemption...

I just wish they kept it consistent, and not Ulic Qel-Droma and the Technicolor Lightsaber.

What color was Corran's Silver or a silver green? Also I was curious as to Jedi that had red lightsabers?
