No 'BMF' carved in Mace Windu lightsaber?

Heya

I just saw the pictures of the Mace Windu lightsaber on http://www.rebelscum.com/mrmacewindusaber.asp and I can remember some threads a long time ago.. They stated that Mr. Jackson had the letters 'BMF' carved in it. But it's not like that on the replica.
I guess this was all nonsense then?

 

I'm sure it doesn't need further explanation when I kindly ask to keep this thread clean.

 

I can easily believe that 'BMF' is carved in Jackson's personal souvenir prop.



I would also think it would be very inappropriate for it to be on replicas sold to the public (if that's what you're refering to.)

 

yeah, well they can make-believe that it stands for 'Be My Friend' or whatever.

 

If he was what he thinks he is: why would he have such a girly lightsaber color?

<[-]> Saber

 

Jackson's own, original hilt does indeed have that BMF slogan on it. In fact, I think Nick Gillard mentioned it was a bit more than just the initials.

 

Purple ain't a sissy color, pink is.

 

Dude, Pink is punk. Nothing is wrong with Pink. Or Purple. THEY ARE JUST COLORS

 

"I would also think it would be very inappropriate for it to be on replicas sold to the public "

Agreed.

And Purple, that color rocks! It's hardcore.

 

I still think that it is a little silly that Sam couldn't make do with a blue saber, but I suppose thats just me....





Mace Windy,
too windy for spoilers!

 

"Give me my lightsaber."
"Which one's your lightsaber?"
"The one that says 'Bad Mother ******' on it."

 

Psylocke, do you really think Lucas, of all people, would give 'Master Replicas' his consent to sell a product with 'BMF' carved in it?

 

Oh, come on guys, I wasn't *THAT* serious!

 

I know.


I was 'playing along'.

 

Jonas,you do know that purple is the official colour of gay nation?

 

I fail to see why the color of "gay nation" should be brought into all of this? Are you using this statement, Pain, to argue that purple is a "wussy color?"

I'd suggest against that....

Purple is also the color or royalty.

Grapes are purple, too! I love grapes! Especially the seedless ones!

And I am most definitely not gay.

...not that there's anything wrong with it.

 

White/|Green grapes ar better than purple ones.

But purple is a great lightsaber color

 

Purple is a great color for a lightsaber. I would like to see a yellow one though.


Although, don't you think it was a little arrogant for Sam Jackson to beg to be in the new SW movies on Letterman and then demand a different color lightsaber so he stands out in a crowd? Ahhh, the Hollywood ego

 

The only problem I ever had with the purple lightsaber is that it set Mace apart. It almost elevated him above Yoda when it was established that Yoda would use the common green color. Visually, it adds more importance to Mace. If anything, Lucas should have either stayed with blue and green only or, if he wanted to set someone apart with a different color lightsaber, it should have been Yoda.

 

Agreed. Actually, perhaps this was just wild rumor, but I believe that I once heard that George was considering giving Yoda an orangish color blade. However, when he ran test footage, the orange did not clash well enough with the red of Dooku's saber, so the idea was dropped.


Can somebody help me out - is there any truth to that?

I wasn´t like SLJ was angry with George, saying "If I don´t get purple, I´m outta here!" He merely suggested it and George agreed. If George hadn´t agreed, it wouldn´t have been purple.

 

just a thought, but given that every Jedi creates his/her own lightsaber isn't it up to him/her to choose a colour... like sure we're talking about the metaphor here, but maybe the character mace just liked purple and decided to get (or make) himself a purple crystal... and surely yoda wouldn't desire a different coloured lightsaber even if he is perhaps the most worthy, it seems almost out of character.

 

Mace, I was just responding to Jonas "they are just colours" bit.

But to be honest, it was sad to note that the most accomplished Jedi swordsman moves was so...... boring. The skill of Mace Windu was not adequately displayed in AOTC. One would have expected him to display the skill and grace of Obiwan in ANH at least.

 

I think his moves are awesome, but that´s me.
