Discussion Should there be a Jedi/Sith with a double sided lightsaber

Yeah, another one of these "Will we see..." threads.

Do you guys think a character in VII/the ST in general should have a double sided lightsaber like Darth Maul did in TPM? Or do you think Maul should remain the only one (In the movies, that is) to have one?

I think I would like Maul to be unique.

Ehh I say keep it simple. 1 sided lightsaber

I think it was cool that they made each Villian's weapons in the PT unique. Maul's was a double saber, Dooku's was a curved lightsaber hilt and Greivous used four lightsabers at once!

Now I like the idea of keeping the villains unique, so I think Maul should be the only double saber user in the movies. However there are still unique concepts that can be used.

For example, what if we saw a lightsaber that acted as a Swiss Army knife? One that also was a blaster/flamethrower/shot rope/whatever. Sort of like Boba Fett in a lightsaber. I'd love to see that in a villain's hands!

I hope not. I'm not a big fan of double sabers.

Lightsabers are for the OT and PT. We need all new concepts. No Jedi, no sith, no lightsabers.

I don't know about a double sided lightsaber again, but I'd like to see some new colors like yellow and orange.

2 people with double-sided lightsabers would be fun to see. New colors are needed as well

I hope they stick with single-bladed sabers this time around. However, I wouldn't complain if they threw a few yellow or purple sabers into the mix...

This.

Or white!

I would love to see new sorts of lightsabers, but no more double lightsabers.

Agreed!

Maul isn't unique, TCW already has Jedi Master Pon Krell with two double-bladed lightsabers as well as Savage Oppress with one.

Not sure if there is a need for them in the movies, but it would be OK to me if some Jedi wanted to use them. In the Jedi Academy game as a pupil of Luke's Academy you were able to choose if you wanted single or double-blade lightsabers.

I tend to see the movies as separate. I know that's not how all fans see it. But that's just the way I look at the franchise.

A four sided lightsaber.

no.

More purple, and maybe some yellow, orange, white, and black.

Also, there were Jedi NPCs running around with double-bladed sabers in the Korriban level, and the cultists sometimes had them.

I think it depends on the kind of character. It needs a very skilled sabermaster Jedi/Sith to wield such a weapon. I am not against the concept. If that's an idea they like, I would prefer to see a double-lightsaber Jedi for a change. We already have Maul as a sith in TPM.

I say yes! I loooove double bladed lightsabers!

I think they should go back and CG all the lightsabers from every movie so they are double lightsabers.

In that case, people would be slashing themselves all the time, lolno.

Kind of like a crossblade/giant shuriken? That would be pretty awesome actually!

They should defo CG Luke's green sabre in the Falcon!!

On the original question tho, I wouldn't mind seeing another double bladed, but at the same time, I won't miss it if it ain't there. Holla if ya hear me

Maul unique?? Perhaps to the films.

Actually, Maul was not the first one shown to have a two sided saber, so he was never unique if you count EU.
