Why the fuck did his lightsaber have a bent handle?
it was in reference to his sexual orientation
it's a fencer's grip
en.wikipedia.org
To stimulate the prostate.
More ergonomically pleasing. As an elderly person, he wanted style and comfort over practicality. It was befitting of his status as Jedi Master.
Probably so they could sell more merchandise
It was so he could stimulate his g spot when he shoved it up his ass
I think looked cool
his saber had a nice hissing sound to it too
Why the fuck did both her lightsabers have curved hilts?
boring legit answer is lee broke the bones in his hand so many times that he had a hard time holding a straight grip
you can see when he does force lightning that his fingers are going in every direction
>initiates with a flip for no reason
Chad move.
Ahh it's because he loved dueling so much and the curve hilt was to slightly throw off an opponent due to the slight change in angle
K I N O
Why does anyone think Yoda flipping around is cool? I've seen his action scenes praised on here
Theoretically its distracting I.e. more moving parts for your opponent to mind.
He played with it too much, just like me.
Ive never seen it defended unironocally only that its stupid fun or entertaining
Grandmaster of the Jedi Order can barely handle the Sith Apprentice. Dooku and Sidious should have just walked through the front door and shit rolled the entire order since the Jedi were so weak.
also a clear back to stab
Dang. I used to fence (Saber). Fun times.
I wouldn’t put that story passed him... but I definitely heard it was to copy fencing style swords.
came here to post this
Lore related answer:
Actually it's canon that it's designed for battle. Yoda was very worried when his pupil chose his lightsaber to be bent because apparently that way it's super dangerous in combat against other lightsabers
he was also a top tier fencer so that probably went into it
What the hell was George smoking when he decided to film this?
>that yoda scream
>the transition to stately old man to jumpy fighter
you know, back there when there was a lore, before the mouse and all this shit
Dooku was Yoda's padawan. He probably knew his fighting technique better than anyone.
It's actually MORE practical, because you don't have to strain your wrist as much as with a straight grip.
my dick is very girthy and very curved and its weird man
Curved handles are actually easier to use, especially one-handed like how he normally fights.
Dooku was a very rare Jedi who studied of 'the old form' of lightsaber combat which was predicated on actual blade vs blade instead of blade vs. blasters. Thats why Obi-Wan was telling Anakin he was going to need his help against him. His hilt was designed for point control/lunges and Dooku's style was supposed to visually look like he was Erroll Flynn vs a Samurai BUT Christopher Lee just couldn't do that style anymore so they coordinated his cgi moves to match what he could mimic which was the 'standard' dueling style.
For both holes.
>handle is curved
>blade is straight
wtf?
Dooku should've been the main villain of the trilogy. Former Jedi responsible of a galactic civil war
While Sidious being only introduced as the big bad behind everything in Episode 3
I love that the films were terrible just so I can listen to things like this and redlettermedia. So e of the Funniest shit I've ever heard
>Sheev should have just walked through the front door and shit spinned the entire order
fix'd
Christopher lee himself requested it because it allows him to treat the combat like fencing. Don’t talk shit about best sith
i will never understand it. it's just awful, and i like the prequels for the most part
This is where the lightsabre battles went to shit. It's all speed and flash and choreography. It's like watching a fucking dance routine. Neither of them are anywhere close to even trying to actually hit each other.
How else should he fight ? The guy is 50 cm tall and crippled, how would you direct that fight ?
not him but game of force chicken, both are using the force to have a mental battle, while the environment collapses around them. they both barely escape.
basically this . making him flip around and screech like a retard is just bafflingly inappropriate
So you could stimulate the prostate with it of course incel. You'll understand one day.
Why bother crrying a lightsaber then ?
he didn't like manlets
Cohen the barbarian style, where he's not noticeably fast, but he's so good that he's always where he needs to be.
Or alternately bitch slapping people with the force and only using his lightstaber to fend off attacks in between.
the prequells had amazing fights
what do the original sequels have? please don't tell me you consider this (youtube.com
I completely forgot about this kek
Even for the time this did not look remotely good
agreed.
Nothing matches QUALITY like this
I remember when yoda started going apeshit everyone in the theater freaked the fuck out. I saw it with 2 dudes who were basically walking wookiepedias before that shit existed and they were orgasming.
Someone post the Obi-Wan spin gif from A New Hope
Why does the light side gimp themselves with straight handles then?
I mean sith lords are the only real threat to a powerful jedi
because this board is filled with reddit mongoloids and people that unironically enjoy capeshit
why do they even need a handle?
me too. alas..
most of the advantage fades once you've got used to fighting them, and it's not enough of an advantage to use it in favour of a design better used to combating the threats they'll face 99.99% of the time.
Sure, a healthy and alert Jedi could easily take the average asshole with a blaster, but they're not going to be healthy and alert all the time, and that's when it matters. To contrast, if you're not on top form fighting a Sith Lord, you're pretty much fucked anyway no matter what your saber looks like.
what was cohen the barbarians tax policy?
shut up nerd lmao
>I mean sith lords are the only real threat to a powerful jedi
Jedi killed by lightsabers: A few dozen, and thats if you include the massacred padawans.
Jedi killed by blaster fire: The rest of the Jedi order
>Cohen the barbarians tax policy?
A highly progressive tax rate with a bunch of (((loopholes))) for the chosen people.
Extensive tax breaks on loin cloths, dentures and big chunks of meat.
Tax hikes on soup, crossbows and espionage related expenses
FUCK OFF CHAD
why was obiwan a weak old man but dooku could do flips
The Dark Side of The Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
100% proximity tax
How the fuck did he break the bones of his hands multiple times? Aside from his 00 agent early life, the guy was an actor. I work a hard job in the trades and I’ve never broken shit.
Vampirism comes with brittle bones.
Old age and calcium loss, probably.
TCW Dooku had a nice lightsaber style desu
youtube.com
Jesus christ like 95% of all their swings wouldn't have even made contact with the other person who the fuck choreographed this
The lightsaber battles were pretty kino
>foil vs bokken
i shiggy diggy. how can that amerifag block anything with that?
The phantom Menace fight is the best in the series. The choreography in every film since was garbage though, and they increased the drag of the lightsaber glow so you can't see shit
Underaged b&d or a troll.
why didn't the lazers extend forever
That part is actually alright where they are just standing there trying to smack each other until that gay ass long twirl.
He used form II
Dooku was a Jedi master before becoming a sith apprentice, and the best user of form II (the one that's good against other lightsabers) in history
>I saw it with 2 dudes
user...
>guy is being force choked
>they just stand around watching him die instead of immediately searching for the source of what was choking him
was it autism?
you know there was a time chicks didn't like star wars?
