Non lightsaber swords?

Hopefully this is the right place for this sort of thread because I still feel new to this forum so I am unsure where to put certain things. But and I just learned of the vibroblade that is a non lightsaber sword in the SWU but what are some others? And didn't early jedi use katana's to fight? So wouldn't that make katanas apart of the SWU?

 

Well Jedi are partly inspired by samurai, so in a matter of speaking, yes, but there is no Japan in a galaxy far, far away.

Actually the closest thing to what you're looking for can be seen in the Clone Wars episode "Bounty" (season 4, episode 20), wherein a team of bounty hunters takes on a group of marauders called the Kage Warriors who are basically Star Wars ninjas. They use electrified ninja swords, but of course a lightsaber makes short work of them.

 

This might be helpful.

By the way, welcome to JCF!

 

Well I also started my looking and stumbled upon this article of force imbued blades that were basically katanas blades as they say imbued with the force and kind of gave a certain glow to them http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force-imbued_blade

 

Now that I find a little bit ridiculous. The idea of a Ashla/Bogan war not so much, but a "Jedi Katana"? That just sounds too earthbound for my Star Wars, force imbued or not.

 

All great orders have to start somewhere before they eventually evolve into what we would know it as. I mean the era of time when that war is shown is around the time of the Dawn of the Jedi comic book.
