MopSopS Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 What the title says, after watching the force awakens for a couple times (love it btw ) I have fallen in love with kylo's lightsaber and I would love to see it in the game. There shouldn't have to be any animations reworked or changed hopefully, but if there are they would probably only be small changes. Thanks for reading and sorry for any grammar mistakes, I'm not English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourkoth Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Believe it or not, but it turns out that his lightsaber wasn't even using a crossguard, at least it didn't intentionally function that way. His lightsaber was unusual in ho unstable the craftsmanship was, hence why it sparked so violently in contrast to the lightsaber handled by Rey/Finn. As a result of the instability, two cooling vents were added to better control the temperatures, creating the appearance of a crossguard. Can't say it didn't look cool though, and it'd be nice to try and get something like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vendettus Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 In the new trailer for Star Wars Rebels one of the main characters encounters another crossguard saber. With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they started to make it into the game at all, though I wouldn't want one myself. Anything that allows for character customization is good in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeoftheRaven Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The energized lightsaber creates a pseudo crossquard look at the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCT Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) You know what really grinds my gears? When a word gets used, and people just start using it even when it's wrong. And you can't stop it. As mentioned above, it's not a crossguard - a crossguard is there to stop your hand sliding onto the blade. Now, it WILL stop your hand from touching the blade, because it will take your hand off before it get's to the blade, but it's not exactly guarding you. It's along the same vein as calling those new fire hazards "Hoverboards", when there's no hovering involved. A better name for them would be "Twât Scooters". Another one is whenever there's a scandal, the American press add the word -gate to something to refer to it, like Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" being referred to as ******gate. If the original scandal happened at a hotel called "Hancock's", it'd be a lot funnier. K, back on topic, I get that you love the film, but this isn't it. Anything you see in Clone Wars, Rebels or the films shouldn't be allowed. This is a separate game, set thousands of years before the films to avoid any crossing over like that. Other arguments against it include the fact that Disney would never allow anything from their films to be used in this, since it will probably affect their licensing of the product - allowing someone to make merchandise, claiming it's not from the films, but from the game.

Disney probably won't care about an item that is being added into an mmo, at all. And besides, kylo's saber is based off of an old design found on malachor. Ofcourse this game is not canon but that doesn't mean they can add in stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeoftheRaven Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I just double checked, the Energized Conqueror's Lightsaber has a crossguard flare at the base. It's not like Kylo exactly, but it might scratch the itch, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck before Phantom menace you never saw double bladed light sabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginwho Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Why can't they add Kylo Ren's lightsaber to SWTOR? In the Star Wars The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary, they say his lightsaber is based on an ancient design, so why can't they put it in the game or something similar.

Heck before Phantom menace you never saw double bladed light sabers. Yup, totally agree with getting rid of double-bladed lightsabers too. And please, don't even get started on light-whips or curved bladed sabers or double sabers that can be separated and used as nunchucks. (I'm ok with using 2 sabers, but would prefer that to be a Sith Marauder thing. I guess for balance and easiness they can be used by Sentinels) Edited January 20, 2016 by CrazyCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xijah Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Add the saber already...I have cc's to be spent lol. On a serious note I love the kylo ren saber, only thing is that they try to implement the sound effects. Personally the best saber sound effect in all the starwars universe. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casirabit Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I not a fan of it but if they bring into the cartel shop okay too. I wouldn't bother me and I get that some people like it. For me I would prefer for my sith a light whip as that is what she uses in our roleplay but I know they probably won't do that as it needs a lot of working to make one right so for now I use it in our roleplay.

Stubeshtainer Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I don't get it why some ppl are so against it. If Kylo Rens lightsaber ever makes it into swtor nobody is going to force them to buy them. Having additional ways to customize our characters is something I am always willing to support. I like the design and I sure would buy a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
