#lightsaber building

[badwolf36]

A Force Ghost pops in to help Leia construct her lightsaber and guide her on her path.

----

“You’re going to need a bigger power cell if you want that saber beam to be longer than your hand.”

“Ben.” Leia sighs, and even she’s not sure if it’s grief, joy, or exasperation. Perhaps all three. “Obi-Wan.”

“You can call me whatever you like, Princess. I’m just glad you can hear me.”

Fic Excerpt: Elliot discusses the spiritual aspects of saber crystals with young Obi-Wan.

This is an excerpt from my story about young Obi-Wan learning to build his first lightsaber.  Elliot (Master L) is his instructor who is mentoring him.

* * *

“Close up your hatch and let’s put it in the safety box.”

“Okay.”  Obi-Wan gave his stone a last longing look before he snapped the hatch into place and locked it down, feeling the seal along the edges lock in.  The stone was just the slightest bit quieter inside the hilt, but he could still hear it.

“It’s still singing,” he told Master L, surprised.

“Ah, did you think it would stop?” he asked kindly.

Obi-Wan shrugged. “I thought I might not be able to hear it through the metal, or it might be lonely in there or not sense me anymore.”

“You have a bond with your stone, Obi-Wan,” Master L reassured him.  “Putting it in the hilt you built for it will strengthen your bond, not weaken it.”  

Obi-Wan was solemn for a moment.  “If I make a mistake or break it or lose my saber, will it die?”

Elliot put a hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eye.  Moosie could remember so many lives and how they had ended that he never feared death itself and what came after.  But Obi-Wan wasn’t Moosie.  Not on this plane anyway.

“We don’t know. The stones are not technically alive, but they do have a Force presence.  They communicate with us, they seem to have a spirit or soul of some sort which remains, even if we cut and polish them.  It’s kind of like hive insects, where the individual is part of a larger whole. A single forager bee dies every day, but the soul of the hive remains. Even the queen may die, but the hive nurtures a new queen and the whole lives on, growing and changing through the years, but often with no new endings or beginnings.  The stones can be like that, when we look at crystals that were once part of the same rock or even from the same vein, collected at different times.  That is probably why Knight Jerrold had tourmalines in different lightsabers that could sing together.  They were probably all from the same vein, part of the same group.  He probably can’t knowingly sense that, but he hears them calling and he’s one of their knights.  So, if you should lose your stone, you will lose the bond you had with it, but the whole is not lost, and you may bond easily with its kin.  Is the spirit the same or a sibling spirit?  I don’t know.  But I think the energy goes back out into the universe to bring that quality to other stones, somewhere else or something else.”

The boy considered this.  “So, there is no death, not because it isn’t alive, but because it doesn’t have to stay the stone as it is now?”

“We are taught that Jedi return to the Force when we die, as do all living things.  I don’t know what happens to our lost stones, but I think eventually they do too.”

“Thank you for the lesson, Master L.”

“You’re welcome.”

So I was researching Soresu for a fic (Tarre Vizsla was totally a master of Soresu) and I finally actually took in why it's the way of the mynock

It's an endurance based form that lets you continue on for a long time using momentum, which is why Obi-Wan constantly does flourishes he isn't actually showing off, he's actually building momentum so that he gains more power with less energy. Probably doesn't work like that in real life, I don't know about swords, but that's the explanation.

Anyway what Soresu does is gain momentum and sap your opponents endurance like a mynock saps power from ships and I really love that someone thought about all this .

#obi-wan kenobi #soresu #form iii #lightsaber #before i thought it was only precise movement i completely missed the stuff on momentum building

Sora and Riku would love Star Wars

#playing the jedi survivor/fallen order games #they would have such a blast in this world omg #if the movies existed in their world i know they’d be huge fans growing up #it’s like. everything they dreamt about doing (traveling to other worlds/planets and having cool adventures and sword fighting bad guys) #kh is already a lot like sw #but the way jedi fight and use the force in this game makes me think so much of kh #cal (the mc) also has this grappling hook thing #(but it’s super fast) #and any time i was using it on buildings and wall running and stuff in coruscant (the big city) i was like wow #i wonder if this is what kh4 will be like #anyway. kk would obv be a blue lightsaber #i think soul eater would be red. way to dawn would be white (purified from red) #a neutral/blank slate #braveheart would be purple

do u get my vison (more talking in the tags)

#its unfair that the three special arms have names but the fourth that holds the guns does not... #thats why i named it hehe #btw dont get surprised if we all get ultrakilled by boston dynamic robots in the future #these shits serve in the military NOW. #if uve seen any of those videos where ppl try to build their own lightsabers..thats why the wings are like that basically #portal heals for extra bounciness #vents are primarily in the back but also under the main body plate #i imagine the plates being carbon covered in plastic (with maybe metal only as reinforcement inside) #weight and aerodynamics and whatnot u know #joints are covered in that kinda heat shrink stretchy rubber to protect them from outside factors #i also think the plates have micro holes all over them (like a sponge but think smaller) so they appear more matte not shiny #ofc the micro holes are for blood and they're only on plates and original parts of v2 #so joints. black rubber parts. whiplash and knuckleblaster dont absorb blood #ok i think im done :) #v1 #ultrakill #2023 #669sk

Sorry, but why does Sifo-Dyas's lightsaber have two brass emitters?? And two sets of slide-guards on each end? And two ignition buttons?! Does that thing shoot a blade out of either side?!

Uh. What the fuck, honey.

#was he watching Dooku build his wonkass curved lightsaber and said hold my beer #sifo dyas #lightsabers #am I totally wrong about this? #are you seeing this too? #⛏️⛏️⛏️

Grim Kennet & Luke Skywalker

Following the death of Obi-Wan, Grim takes it upon herself to train Luke in the ways of the Jedi. She has no intention of changing his story, just to guide him.

meanwhile, over in the displaced rebel AU, bad timeline Matt spent at least two weeks definitely not coping with the loss of his friends, family, and entire home planet by keeping himself busy building lightsabers. he built so many. peaceful timeline Matt is allowed to take one home with him.

#displaced rebel au #ironically they go on to become widely used across the universe #good job matt. you preserved one (1) piece of earth culture entirely by accident #matt coming out of his haze after awhile but now he has like. six lightsabers and is in the middle of building a seventh #matt: oh. sweet. but also deeply concerning.

[achingly-shy]

theory has been debunked but i am still in fucking awe holy shit holy shit holy shiiiiiit

#no fucking way we got all these clone wars flashbacks with hayden styled as clone wars anakin and ahsoka’s past lightsabers and rex and the #maul siege of mandalore mandalorian armor and the orange painted ahsoka clonr armor and REX and the anakin vader transitions and the very #recognizable ahsoka clone wars costumes and PURGILLLL #and canon hera telling stories about ezra jacen talking about ezra force sensitive jacen kanan jarrus namedrop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i could go on btw #this episode was so good only complaint is i miss sabine #but the suspense is building i am sure we will find out next week this may get me through the weeks #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #star wars

[ghostace]

#i will try to get a how-to out this weekend if i can repeat whatever the hell i did to get it working in the first place #and ideally also get it working w the 64 bit build on PTS #jedi teness #featuring uncharacteristic white lightsaber 👀 #swtor things

[crimsonscloud]

he's doing the anakin skywalker spin. look at him.

#heavy rain #ethan mars #anakin skywalker #the funny thing here is #ethan is using a sword with a blue colored hilt #and jason has a green one (like luke's second lightsaber) #honestly with c*ge i wouldn't be surprised if this was a deliberate ref #plus in an early build the swords were literally toy lightsabers

[lilyharvord]

It ain’t my business to come up with another AU cause I’ve got four in the oven cooking and one that almost done rising and is waiting to go in the oven, but I’m a feral gremlin and I love Red Queen so its not my fault. Anyway the Star Wars AU is once again on my mind, so I will pull a chunk of my brain out and somehow project what I see to you all. 

- Mare is a smuggler/pirate who works for a medium sized smuggling organization that specializes in playing both side of the divide (Rebel and Imperial). They’re clients kind of know but because they are so good at getting their hands on everything (information, tech, weapons, codes) they’re allowed a free pass from both sides to do what they want so long as they don’t try anything serious. She gets to wear sick ass pants with lots of pockets that she likes to put things in (steal more like), a hip gun holster (the kind that sort of wraps around both legs and the waist) and a white loose shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Sometimes she wears a cool hat with a low bun that lets her hair fall out in chunks on the sides. Aka she’s a sewer rat that somehow got into a fancy organization and made her way up to the top levels by just being fucking ruthless and also very good and getting people to give her what she wants (aka she has the Force but has no fucking clue). 

- Cal is an Imperial Colonel for the Navy who comes from a very, very wealthy and important family that is very close to the Emperor. He is young, and everyone says he has a super bright future ahead of him. He’s good at war, and that makes him dangerous. Secretly, he’d rather be in his garage tuning up older speeders and racing them. And he may or may not be soft to the Rebellion’s cause, on an ideological basis of course. He’s a stauch believer in the Empire and “what they do for the galaxy by providing protection, support, and management to what would otherwise be a system riddled with anarchy and collapsing infrastructure”. Someone did start a rumor (which may or may not have actually been true, but the grunt was very drunk in said cantina and their word was very suspect) that they saw him in disguise listening to what was Rebel propaganda in a backwater cantina while they were planet side. He mostly plays by the rules but he’s not afraid to get his hands a little dirty or bend the rules to win. He finds out about a smuggling organization that straddles the line and hires them to get him information that he needs for an up coming campaign. Which is how he meets a scrappy, no nonsense smuggler who he believes is more like a pirate, that makes his start to question exactly what the Empire does. 

- Maven is from the same wealthy, prosperous family as Cal. He holds a military position (much lower level, he does not see much action), but is more involved in the government (or the sham of it provided to the people to keep the placated). He is very close to the Emperor, and for good reason. He has unique talents of his own that he keeps to himself but uses them when and only if they are needed. He is a spy, and his mother has brilliant ambitions for him and their family. He may have his own ambitions though, and his teeth while sharp are hidden well... 

- Diana Farley is a leader in the Alliance, who has been fighting most of her life against the oppression of the Empire. She fights with her teeth and her claws, but when a seriously dangerous bit of information is stolen along with a datapad that holds Alliance base locations and other important information from a member of her squadron, she enlists the help of a member of a smuggler organization that’s not afraid to go behind Imperial lines to retrieve things. She refused to be left in the dark though, and ends up joining the hunt, even against her superiors wishes...

- Shade Barrow is given orders to retrieve a data pad with invaluable information on it. Deeply sympathetic to the Alliance’s cause, he is more than willing to go behind Imperial lines in his beat up ship to save them all. He’ll need to enlist the help of his little sister who has a deep foothold in a certain Colonel’s camp to retrieve the information which could put them both in the line of deadly fire, that is... if he doesn’t get killed by the beautiful and dangerous Rebel stowaway he somehow managed to pick up. 

#my writing #my fanfics #listen its just four losers sharing a single brain cell that mostly belongs to Farley against maven who has like two brain cells #red queen #glass sword #kings cage #war storm #broken throne #post broken throne #listen I'm combing my two hyperfixations into one #and it feels like I'm building a bomb in my schools chemistry lab #will I actually get around to writing this? Meh maybe. #it certainly takes precedence as two hyperfixations in one #mare barrow #maven calore #cal calore #diana farley #shade barrow #I have an idea where Mare ends up accidentally calling Maven's lightsaber to her and thats when he realizes she has the force #and its a moment™️ #it's gonna be such a sexy fic #I wanna write it so bad #too much hyperfixation not enough time 🥲 #in honor of us getting some fucking scraps for news about the TV show #I feel like an orphan begging for food at the table victoria #I AM STARVING

[padawahsoka]

hm. did not like the episode objectively. but emotionally i AM distraught

#* me pausing to point at rex in the background * #ahsoka spoilers #i guess? ok since i tagged it #i'm mostly upset by how the world between worlds section ended. like what purpose did the flashbacks end up serving? #“man being a child soldier...... that was fucked up right?” like yea ahsoka's dialogue with anakin revealed more than that #but it seemed like she just got over everything with the lightsaber battle. i feel there was a turning point i was missing #maybe someone else can tell me why they loved it and it was actually fitting bc of x and y i'll change my mind lol #i wanted to love it. but the build up to this 'confrontation' was so much i needed more drama and spice

[skynapple]

I don't think I ever posted it here but throwback to when I got to re-create my in-game lightsaber in real life at Black Spire Outpost. I may have cried.

Close up under read more

It's not a 1-to-1 match but the top half is, and a lot of the pieces were exact matches overall. Disney does a decent job sometimes.

It also weighs a ton!
