Because the style he used was described mostly as a type of fencing variant, with abundance of fast strike in single line, instead of wide arcs most Jedi usually use. The curved shape was to help this purpose.
At least that was old lore, I am sure that nowadays is a symbol of waning patriarchy or some other bolshevik shit.

You guys think Dooku got some pussy after leaving the Jedis?

He was forbidden by the Jedi incels, but nothing on the Dark Side forbids slamming hoes.

Yup, boys and girls of all colors

Fucking nerd.

I dont know any lore but I remember him holding it with his pointing finger going up the hilt. I guess you dont need much grip strength with lightsabers so he was holding it like that - extended arm, controlling the point with his finger. Makes more sense then Kylo's edgy zweihander monstrosity, but arguably not tha cool.

and star wars isn't?

Because it was easier for old man Christopher Lee to hold

In fencing, it is the French Harut grip. The popular grips in the sport provide more ergonomic control of the blade via different shaped grips. The most popular is the pistol grip or the Belgium grip. The straight grip is only popular for tradition.

It was supposed to resemble a pistol grip foil. Christopher Lee was an experienced fencer, and favored the pistol grip over the straight grip.

Just use magnets.

Black holes do.

It slightly changed how the saber moved. Not a huge deal, but in the fight where the first blow usually ends it you don't get a chance to adapt.

>frenchmen are bent

no surprise here

gravitational lensing

the way he held it (as necissitated by its design) meant that it was going to be inherently different than a normal lightsaber, which could slightly throw people off.

bros do you have curved dicks or straight? mine goes to the left and down a bit, pretty annoying to be honest

Star Wars the original movies tell a comparatively light story about a small rebel alliance toppling and evil empire and a farmer's boy who meets an old wizard to become a battlemage to stand up to his dark and twisted father and the sorcerer who corrupted him. Then the EU went ahead and made every single character in the Cantina and Jabba's Palace important and tying into the story on a grand scale. If some of these people were important - ok. Like scarface pignose and walrus man. But nearly everyone in there on the day Old Ben and Luke came in is somebody famous. Then there's fix fics for other writers' blunders or things that made no sense anymore when George made the prequels. And some really stupid ideas. There's also good stuff in there, though. I read the Thrawn Trilogy as a child, back then it was really great. Now it's just neat, but then 20 years have passed. I'm currently listening to the Darth Plagueis book by James Luceno because I met an absolute qt3.14 who is into the old EU, and tell you what, that's not bad either. Fixes a lot of the prequels by giving it some context simply by following Palpatine (Yes, he doesn't have a first name in this continuity, he renounced it to spite his father, Cosinga, so chances are that was his first name, too) and his master around. I also like the old canon tier system. There's rungs of what counts, what kinda counts, what absolutely doesn't count anymore and what never counted in the first place.
With Disney it's all canon. Worse, Disney has punched holes in their movies so you don't even get an explanation needed to understand the story they're currently telling. The EU fleshes stuff out, but it doesn't keep secrets from you on purpose to keep you buying YA fiction books.

ok. well... if that's a "light" story, then maybe Lucas should have gone featherweight with it because he still blew his load with the original trilogy. There was nowhere for the Skywalker saga to go and any other story would have necessarily had lesser stakes.

Lightsabers are controlled and contained using force powers so it's easy to also bend them sunny jim. In fact, if i was a fucking Jedi I wouildn't only be learning how to swordfight but also how to constantly shift and change the blade as i'm wielding it to not only confuse enemies but also catch them off-guard as much as possible when they think they are centimeters out of reach.

>using force powers
I thought this was disproved with Grevious or Han using it to cut open a Tauntaun.

yeah, light sabers are basically suped up welding torches

>electric tag
>actual fencing

Ell oh ell

Grievous had force powers still if i remember.
Han is the hole in the canon regarding it, though you could argue that the crystal itself holding the Force User's intent is what gives it the shape, stability, power. So the crystal can be "programmer" i guess.
George isn't a good writer by any stretch, there's many problems with lightsaber and jedi lore.

>young jedi have straight and pointy lightsabers
>old people have flacid lightsabers

>there's many problems with lightsaber and jedi lore.

Yeah that's an understatement if there ever was one.

You'd have to be thoroughly trained just to get over the blade being weightless though but what would they even train with? Not like you can train with a stick in this case.

>He's delved into Star wars beyond the movies

Attached: 1543301668307.gif (175x131, 1.06M)

I think they train force awareness first, your 3rd eye which sees everything around you and therefore results in the spatial awareness that ordinary humans don't have which makes it easy to not chop yourself into pieces while wielding that shit. We see what our eyes see, but Jedi have next-level awareness of both their body and its surroundings.

Luke had no idea how to interact with the force when Kenobi gave him the lightsaber

you shift your body back and forth while swinging and stopping before you hit a big rock

Kenobi did though. I still stand by the crystal being the core and being programmable with force powers. That pretty much covers everything including normal people using them basically and also certain Jedi using whips and curved variants.

the crystal is just a mineral, its not a star core or gets the color change by the force, cmon

Lightsabers are for dumbfaggots.
Give me force powers and i will give you infinite shrapnel and weapons and explosives turning you into mush.

In the expanded universe, Dooku uses a lightsaber style called Makashi, which is designed to be great for one on one duels. And as such he has a sabre style of hilt that makes swinging in an arc effective and swift. The hilt moves more easily if it is weighted as such.

As a lightsaber blade weighs nothing being made of pure energy, the swing is maximized as there is no counter balance. This makes him swift and precise.

Notice also how he opens with his blade upward in front of his face like a duelist. Kenobi opens with it pointing forward over his head as he practises a defensive form to parry blasters (uncivilised crap that they are) and Luke opens with a double grip and the blade pointed up because he practised an aggresive form that specialised in parry and counters.

>(uncivilised crap that they are)
Which pretty much sent your faggot Jedi into extinction.

Bad circumcision

>curved swords

I was just making a cheeky refernce to Kenobi and how he famously called them uncivilzed on several occasiosn. Even in a New Hope he said the lightsaber was a tool from a more civilized time, adding weight to idea that Star Wars is a chivalric tale at heart. Calme down user, you don't need to bust out the navy seal copypasta here. Also, watch Kenobi vs Grevous' soldiers and ou'll see his ultra-defensive style is actually rather good at multi blaster defense.

>the victors are necessarily superior because they won

pleb detected

>the lightsaber was a tool from a more civilized time
The lightsaber is nothing more than a weapon, and by definition uncivilized. To call it civilized is to engage in self-deception and moronism. That's how and why the Jedi fell.
The only thing civilized is the mind, the force itself by extension.

Butthurt loser detected.
Your existence and your ideas are irrelevant if you are extinguished by a better, if you and your mentality were better you wouldn't have been extinguished. Try again in the next life.

Definitely a sign that man babies with no concept of reality started infiltrating the movie industry.

This
That would feel incredible in my ass.

When I was a kid, I had a friend whose opinion on the lightsaber and Dooku as an extension explains it all:
>It's cool and curved
Lucas just had an eye for shit kids would think is cool to sell toys.

>and by definition uncivilized
That's a big leap to make for an objective justment in SW or IRL. But you prove by accident that SW is a chivalric tale, as weapons weilded one on one for the defense of the innocent agaisnt a skilled opponent that respected the unwritten rules of the duel is a very Medieval chivalric idea. Also a Samurai ideal too.

The Jedi many times stated the Sith see the saber as a weapon and the Jedi see it as a tool. Sometimes that tool is for martial combat, Other times for cutting open a blast door. Sometimes for sabotaging a piece of machinery or for Obi Wan to cut off the hand of a wuld be murder who would cause far worse damage to the galaxy if he has glassed Luke to death.

It blends, like the conviction of someone that once was a jedi and now a sith lord

A tool which only destroys, no matter the justifications or excuses, is a weapon.
A wrench is a tool that can build and create.
A lightsaber is a weapon that can only destroy and cut down.
The Sith were right in their view, and that's why they prevailed over the dumbshit Jedi self-deceit even from a standpoint of a numerically inferior and weaker force, therefore the Jedi being almost eradicated.
If the Jedi didn't allow their pretentious hubris and double standards, such as with the lightsaber philosophy, to contaminate their mentality like a malignant cancer, perhaps everything that happened would have been avoided and they would have been better prepared.
Push chivalry far enough and you will become blind and stupid from it. Introspection, moderation, but above all consistency, are the only civilized ways, which is what Luke tackles as a far wiser product of all this shit.

>destroyes
define destroys. In Episode 1 it is used to rescue a diplomat fairly bloodlessly. Obi Wan then goes on to specialize in a style that deflects all blaster bolts away from him and the firer. He is famed in the EU for being an ultra pacifist when he can. Of course it isn't a LLeatherman multi tool, it can't construct items, but it is like a handgun in the hands of a secret service member, when escorting diplomats. That doesn't act as a shield fo the president, but it can act as a way of ending a diplomatic crisis before it starts by preventing an assassination. Remember, they are not worshippers of their sabers, these sit on their hip as they go to negotiate with non-Republic powers. Trhoguh the prequels, Obiwan and others turn up to meetings and talks with a saber and never flash them around with aggresion. They never suggest if the meeting goes south, they will start swinging.

>The Sith prevailed
Don;t be so edgy, they whole EU points to the Sith and Jedi being constantly in flux, particularly after the KOTOR duo in 2002 and 2003 where the greyness of the faction really took off. The Sith prevail in using a weapon to cut down others, sure. But they are conquered by their own greed and in fighting. The Jedi prevail with stability and are conquered by indecision.

>Push chivalry far enough and you will become blind and stupid from it
They aren't pushing chivalry by having swords as chivalry promotes moderation of kindness and force where appropriate. The stories are and allegory for Saint George vs a Dragon, not Ghandi vs Hitler.

>Luke
I agree all the way with this part, many see the prequels as fleshing out the dichotomy of Sith and Jedi so that rewatching the Original Trilogy is more effective when you realise that Luke doesn't become a passionless monk like Yoda and doesn't become a tyrant like Vader. This is right, he perfectly embodies the balance of chivalry. He uses a lightsaber sparingly Jabba's palace is a great example
>he talks with Jabba first
>then he defeats the monster (a rynok I think) with ingenuity
>then he offers Jabba a last chance to set them free on the barge
>only then does he use his lightsaber on pure thugs like Boba Fett
>still uses as a tool for good, as he cuts his friends chains with them and even uses a blaster (another weapon that only destroys) to destroy a mechanism on the barge to disable it.
This is why Luke is the saviour of the galaxy, he is the perfect balance in the force (until the shitty new movies where he is some Alzheimers patient who clearly can't recognize his own dad's lightsaber)

So, an entire sequel trilogy about Luke's new powers in the context of a restored Republic and galactic peace. Lucas might have been able to pull-off a few stand-alone films after the OT about chasing-down Imperial remnant or random criminals, but there's no way they could live up to the scale and stakes of the OT. It's clear the big story ends when they literally saved the galaxy. You can't top that and it's clear Lucas didn't plan for it, despite what he says.

for you

Why would you have to make an entire trilogy about Luke? It could certainly be done in the style of the OT where Luke's story is the primary one, but we still have significant stories of other characters, but there's no reason that Luke's character has to stick through anther trilogy, so long as another compelling character takes up the slack. And it's obvious it wasn't the peace it was thought to have ushered in at the end of RotJ. Even if there wasn't a big Boogeyman Empire to contend with, there would be dark side users to contend with. Jedi are supposed to be civilized, so why let another Empire form when you could send in just what is needed to take care of threats a la standard Jedi MO? Failure in assessment of required resources, infiltration of the Jedi order by the Sith, a different dark side MO emerging that the Jedi are not well set up to counter, all sorts of stuff could have gone on. Again, limits of imagination while not destroying character arcs.

A spear thrust is easier to read because of how it telegraphs. Cavalry with a spear can only realistically attack one way. With a thrust. On foot a good spearman can deftly defeat a swordsman because of how many possibilities open up when you're not charging on horseback. But on horseback a saber gives you omnidirectional attacks. You can slash in any direction, parry in any direction and thrust.

Came here to post this

Dual-phase lightsabers used to be a thing. Their blade length and width was easily adjustable. IIRC Luke's saber was dual-phase in the Old EU.

>so long as another compelling character takes up the slack.
Takes up the slack and does what? Luke & Friends saved the galaxy and destroyed the big bad, giving us a literal "and they all lived happily ever after" ending. I can understand the desire for epilogue material in the form of books or even a single spin-off film.

>And it's obvious it wasn't the peace it was thought to have ushered in at the end of RotJ.
If you have to resort to muh subversion to get this done, you're no better than Disney and JJ. That's a shit, dishonest move to pull on your audience, especially with material that is sincere as Star Wars. THE STORY ENDED. If you want to rehash shit, go way back in time or way forward in time if you must. But any twisting you do to get more conflict and high stakes out of the Skywalker story will necessarily undo and lessen the OT. You would regret doing that.

>dishonest
oh fuck off
Subversion is what the dark side DOES. That is it's MO. Did you even watch the OT? Yoda, one of, if not the most powerful Jedi, decided to become a hermit because of the shit he saw and failed to foresee. Luke should have learned something from that, and Yoda most certainly would have learned something from that and should have been able to guide Luke through it better. In the context of the stuff I previously mentioned, that sounds like a story with a lot of potential to me.

>being this meta
It's a story. You can't literally subvert the story and then when the audience looks at you like you just took a dump in their soul (because you did), turn to them and shrug like "what can i say, goyim? the dark side does subversion. That's why we negated the sacrifice and the happy ending". Why can't you just admit that you just want more Star Wars and you're willing to twist yourself into knots and even undo the story you already have to get it. Foolish fans like you are the reason shit gets run into the ground. You just can't accept that the story is over... at least, in films. And then hacks like Disney come along and exploit your thirst for more and totally fuck everything up.

The film saga did end with RotJ. It should have stayed ended. Write epilogue fanfic if you must. Read the EU shit. I'm not even opposed to a one-off epilogue film in theory. But a sequel trilogy undoes the OT by necessity.

How is the dark side doing what the dark side does subverting the story?

Oh never mind. You seem to be of the typical Hollywood mindset of
>the story must take of exactly as it was set, and all we can do is BIGGER AND BETTER
That is precisely what sucks about Hollywood and all of their revamps, reboots, and sequels. A story continuum of parties acting as parties have been established to act is not shitting on anything. We're looking at decades down the road. That peace could have lasted those decades for all the Jedi were aware. Sith don't rest. The only one being dishonest here is you.

you'ld be -using- it as a handwave-y excuse to subvert the OT so you can make a sequel trilogy. It's like at the end of Saving Private Ryan, and they're at Arlington and some neo-nazis (larping FBI tbqh) just drive by and gun-down old man Ryan's family and you're like "welp, sorry... that's what Nazi's do... guess we need Saving Private Ryan II"

>A story continuum of parties acting as parties have been established to act
aka characterization and logic. but let's throw all that out and have our edgy dissolutioned Luke and Empire.. er... i mean... "First Order" because.. you know... the Sith never rest. That ceremony at the end of RotJ feels foolish and naive already. How refreshingly cynical and modern of you.

fencing is like cheating when it comes to swordplay... you just have to poke your enemy. It is superior as far as deadly combat.

Luke being disillusioned is not a good character arc. That was a part of my original point, you dolt.
>ability to not destroy character arcs when writing a story
>Luke should have learned something from that, and Yoda most certainly would have learned something from that and should have been able to guide Luke through it better
It is established that dark and light sides of the force are a balance and struggle. That is not a part of the problem with Mouse-Wars. The way they executed it was terrible because characters did not develop. They simply copy-pasted one character arc into another in a manner which destroyed the established arcs.
Never mind. Stick to your typical modern Hollywood BIGGER AND BETTER is all there is mentality. It is all you will understand.

Formal fencing limits you to a strip that supposed to replicate a hallway. It also limits where you can target (except epee). Practical sword fighting obivously you can move and hit some one anywhere, sabre is also the only one that allows you to slash.

>let's not dissolution luke but let's subvert everything else
yeah, good luck with that. Have fun abandoning your ideal ending for this arbitrary new one just to wring more story out of the Skywalker saga, then having to explain to all the Jew hacks why it's ok to subvert the plot of OT, but not ok to subvert Luke. I got news for you, -a lot- of people involved wanted to see Luke turn cynical. You'ld be giving them just the opening.

>It is established that dark and light sides of the force are a balance and struggle.
Then go far into the future or past and re-tell that struggle. Why are you so obsessed with dragging the OT back for another trilogy-tier saga? It would'nt have worked. Thats probably why Lucas never did it. Also, i never said it had to be bigger. I implied that you couldn't get much bigger than the stakes that the OT had. Lucas actually went --too big-- with the OT, if you assume it's supposed to be a 9-film series. I don't think it really ever was.

Underrated post

>ideal ending
>Ewoks
Now you're really starting to piss me off.

>joke that keeps getting repeated throughout the thread
>underrated
I fucking hate you skyrim babies.

lol obviously "ideal" regarding the broadest strokes of the plot. If we want to start down the road of critiquing many of the lesser plot decisions, yeah, there is a lot to shit on Lucas for.

Because instead of interesting characters the prequels relied on retarded visual gimmicks to make the bland mess slightly more interesting, like darth mauls double lightsaber

Femanon here, I would suck your dick irl for that post

Christopher Lee had arthritis.

Because it looks more elegant and suits more to iconic British actor.

Better for single-handed manipulation necessary for a fencing style.

In the book after Plagueis, Tarkin also by Luceno, Sheev's name gets revealed.

Why is Chris-Chan's duck curved?

>posts cgi again
man you sure showed him

never noticed how immaculate spaceballs sound design is

To fit up his butthole

Fencing handles aren't curved.

Fuck off Mike.

Lightsabers don't extend instantly. Another jedi could dodge it and a regular peon can be taken out just as effectively by a blaster. Plus I imagine that it would need an extra big power generator to keep it running so you can't conceal it half as well

Spaceballs sound design was done by Skywalker Sound

This.
The the more ergonomic handle would make it easier for a frail old Jedi past his prime to hold.

Because Star Wars was made by an american, not a nip

>The lightsaber is nothing more than a weapon, and by definition uncivilized. To call it civilized is to engage in self-deception and moronism. That's how and why the Jedi fell.
>The only thing civilized is the mind, the force itself by extension.
I think that line was supposed to mean something along the lines of carrying a weapon that instills respect and never really has to be used. But within that same movie it gets used once too many (cutting off the arm in the bar). And later, this idea gets shit on enormously in the Prequels.

Who cares about Dooku's curved lightsaber

Ventress used two!
and most likely took the crystal out of one to use as a Dildo

Is it though? I think I've heard that it can be caused from tissue damage, it's called Peyronie's disease.

The funny thing is the movie's fighting prop wasn't even curved like the hero prop was. just that little nob at the end was at an angle. Cause the blade was screwed on the thing that they screwed it on couldn't be bent so they chetaed. at the end, it's the same thing as all the other lightsaber. No particular advantage.

its to trick jedi

Its a sword the handle is curved and the blade is straight.

Ribbed for his pleasure too I see.

>Fencing handles aren't curved

Never seen a foil then I guess.

Lightsabers attract each other.

The sword forms are still canon
