This is probably a pipe dream, but I do want to see what other people think of this idea. In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, there was a Mandalorian terrorist group called The Death Watch. Certain high ranking members of The Death Watch used weapons that looked similar to lightsabers, but were not. The blades were notably shorter and looked like the star lit voids of space. However, they were still Mandalorians, which the Bounty Hunter becomes at the end of Chapter One. Would it be possible to put a new weapon for Bounty Hunters, and possibly Troopers to even things out on the Republic side, that resembles these lightsaber like weapons which were dubbed Dark Sabers? I understand this would be hard, and that using a lightsaber should be reserved for Force users, but not all people who use lightsabers are Force users, General Greivous for example, he stole lightsabers from Jedi he'd killed.
