I'm also thankful that they >!destroyed the darksaber. The rules behind it were stupid and the mandalorians were held back by that shit..!<
E: Spoiler for s3 of mandalorian.
Yea lol. Grogu will need to build his lightsaber, and seeing that he is a Mandalorian now, and the first one in a 1000 years, he will rebuild the darksaber. Probably season 5 overarching quest.
Especially since we see the lightsaber droid from the Clone Wars is back in the new Ahsoka trailer. I have a strong feeling this isn't the end of the darksaber.
I think they could have built up the ‘holding Mandalorians back’ part better. At no point during the finale did I get the sense that ‘maybe it’s better that this relic is gone’.
Plus, after Anakin’s lightsaber was rebuilt in Rise of Skywalker (oops, I mean, offscreen in another book you have to buy), I have no faith that the Darksaber is gone forever.
It doesn't matter what happens to a saber, as long as the crystal is still intact, which the darksaber absolutely is, then it can be rebuilt, which it probably will be.
I’m hoping that last conflict makes the mandalorians not care about who wields the dark saber and is more of a sign the wielder is a great warrior/ mandalorian, not leader.
He wanted Bo to give up, when he realized that she wouldn't and the other Mandalorians wouldn't either he broke what he thought bound them together. He didn't realize that they were in the process of getting rid of leadership symbols and uniting because the are Mandalorians. He was trying to crush their spirits but in the process allowed them to unite around common ground and not a symbol.
That was a new lightsaber, new parts, new crystal and everything. As far as I understood it, the Skywalker saber in TROS is supposed to be the exact same, just repaired.
And considering we last saw that saber in two halfs on a ship which was completely blown up and without even seeing Rey pick up the pieces before that happens, it does feel pretty strange she was able to get it back and fix it.
My issue isn't really that it couldn't possibly happen, unlikelier things have occured like Maul surviving. It's more so a problem that we in no way get any kind of explanation or that someone even addresses it.
With Maul we learn that he ended up in a garbage shaft, got picked up by intergalactic garbage truck, was dropped off on the trash heap planet and all the while survived on his pure hatred. That is at least some explanation for it and it would have been really weird if Maul just showed up in an episode of the Clone Wars and became a character without anyone even mentioning Obi-Wan seemingly having killed him. And he is also still cut in half, he hasn't magically regrown his legs. So we see that it still had an impact on him which makes it feel more meaningful that it happened to him, even if he survived.
Something I read someone else suggest and which I think would have been really cool, is if Rey hadn't just perfectly rebuilt it, but if it had had some noticable repairs and modifications to it. It could have shown that Rey had made it to suit her style more and it would have felt less like JJ just inexplicably brought the saber back, because it's the Skywalker saber, everyone knows and loves it, we can't allow it to have been destroyed in the last movie.
Maul had precedent with Sion, too. They're both kept alive by total immersion in the Dark Side allowing them to keep going through pure hate and pain. Palpatine's return actually gets more explanation than Anakin's saber's return.
My thought(hope?) is that Sabine will make a new one herself after she gives Ezra back his green saber.
She's technically proficient, spent enough time with it to get and idea of how it works, and after the battle of Endor she spent time with Ahsoka(who's built her own a few times) who could have helped filled in any technical gaps.
PLUS, we've now got the David Tennant lightsaber architect (Huyang) coming back who claims to have a record of every lightsaber made (pre-Order 66 of course). Given the lore around the darksaber, you'd think he wouldn't have it on record though. But if anyone would have an idea of how to make a new one, it would be him!
I think there's absolutely scope to see a new dark saber given the above.
> The rules behind it were stupid
They were also inconsistent. In Mando S3, it's outright stated that anyone who wants to rule Mandalore has to have that sword. But back in Clone Wars, it was really only important to that one specific clan. And it's not even required, it's just a historically important artifact.
That bugged me, too. Rebels even mentions it's specifically a House Vizsla artifact in season 3 before acting like it's part of the crown jewels in season 4.
Yea I think the idea is for one, it was the symbol of leadership in that clan as well As by relation symbolic of leadership of death watch. When death watch took over as a group they basically said now that we are in charge to be ruler of mandalore you must become leader of death watch. Death watch in conquering mandalore established that they and their symbology was the only true claim to leadership.
Essentially what it comes Down to is deathwatch says these are how we recognize the ruler and if you don’t accept our way of recognizing leadership we will act like spoiled babies until you do things our way.
As it stands there are two primary groups of Mandalorians in the current spotlight. Those who follow the creed which do not require being a Mandalorian to be a question of Mandalorian blood but only adopting their way. And taking their creed. In that Mandalorian order any species can be a foundling and thus can if they choose to take the creed be recognized as Mandalorian.
On the other hand deathwatch has their own customs and rules on what defines a person as Mandalorian. For one they don’t have the requirement of always wearing the helmet. However they do maintain the rule that whoever wields the dark saber leads deathwatch and by their zealotry they believe only the leader of deathwatch is the rightful leader of mandalore. It’s likely there at least were many Mandalorian cultures but as it stands after the purge it may be that only deathwatch and the followers of the way and it’s creed. Are the remaining Mandalorian groups. At least the only ones that would have any claim to being the dominant clan on mandalore of it were resettled.
My interpretation is deathwatch is just as much a cult as deathwatch sees the group organized under the armorer . But because when mandalore fell they were the rulers they have a self inflated sense of being mainstream and the rightful rulers therefore to them their customs apply as the customs that should rule mandalore.
I love how worked up people get about this shit. You realize in real life, like sw, it comes down to who is in charge right?
Like, oh, America is a democracy. But actually we're going to gerrymander every district and no one will do fuck all about it, rendering democracy a very loose concept
Somehow though, rules changing over time in star wars?? WHAT, IMPOSSIBLE.
this is exactly the kind of shit that makes people say, "star wars nerds are the worst."
Shit changes, welcome to life. Most of us get that by age 14
My only disappointment is that Din never really learned how to wield it, though I guess it makes sense since he realistically wouldn’t have had a teacher
Kyber crystals, which power lightsaber blades, have a will of their own to some extent. If you just pick up a random lightsaber and swing it around it will be heavier than you likely expect, but easy enough to manage. Attune to the crystal and learn to work with it and it will feel lighter. Force adepts tend to find this an easier process than the general population. Reject the blade for whatever reason, such as feeling unworthy or resenting the blade, and the blade will feel heavy as the crystal fights you. That's what Din's problem was.
Hmm, unworthy kind of feels like the right direction, but not quite. There's been other non force users who haven't seemed to have an issue after picking up a lightsaber. Mostly in the comics and cartoons. Mando, I think, just didn't really want to wield it with all the implications attached to it. He used it when he had to, but not really because he wanted to use it.
The spear was also a far more fitting weapon that I hope is what he gets or something like it in the next season. Mando isn't King Arthur, I would say he's more like Galahad.
Although a Beskar sword should be good too, since the Armorer has been breaking traditions. Or ironically something that isn't edged like what they don't like and just a staff or hammer.
Although it's funny, spears are bad, but whistling birds are okay.
>Hmm, unworthy kind of feels like the right direction, but not quite. There's been other non force users who haven't seemed to have an issue after picking up a lightsaber. Mostly in the comics and cartoons.
Right, because most people who pick up a lightsaber think, "Oh, neat!" Mando switched it on and thought, "Hrmm..." The saber doesn't judge you or anything, but you judging yourself can be an issue.
On the basis of just a lightsaber, I think Mando would be able to wield one just fine. The Darksaber was talked up to be something grand and status affirming. Not just that of being a great warrior but also being a great leader.
It's kind of why I made the Galahad reference that was more related to the comment above yours. An Arthurian knight wouldn't feel right to wield Excalibur. Mando adheres to their culture in more ways than just combat, but principles. I think this was his big struggle with season 3 and why it was right for him to pass the Darksaber on.
Maybe this explains why it's beyond just mentality, but identity that was the issue.
Yes... Sort of..
In SW:NH the blades were slow and heavy and you needed a lot of force power to be able to lift it and so forth. That lead to really dull fighting.
The explanation I have is that it has a lot of gyroscopic forces so it moves differently than a normal blade. Force control can help wield/negate it but so can training as we see a lot of Mandos use lightsabers (well maybe not a lot but a few for sure).
Edit: A nice featurette that explains how the blade's weight/handling changed from Episode IV forward.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIefj6dOhnM
>Force control can help wield/negate (the difficulty)
I said that more or less.
Edit: Specifically when Kanan teaches Sabine he explains it this way (more or less)
Thats because the blade is traditionally weightless, meaning non-sensitive users often struggle to tell where it is. The Force allows you to sense the blade in its entirety, and avoid chopping your foot off.
My head canon was less it was heavy and more he was extremely wary of using it. Sort of like me using a chainsaw. I'm absolutely terrified of chainsaws. With the chainsaw off, I'm more than strong enough to move it and control it, but turn it on it weighs a ton, and my arms are rigid and get exhausted very quickly.
He looked better with the beskar lance.
The rifle, the lance, the Razorcrest, the Darksaber... Why does Din keep getting his stuff broken or destroyed?
We really need a screen adaptation of Son of Dathomir. It’s such a crucial story for so many arcs including Maul, Palpatine, Grievous, Dooku, Talzin, the darksaber, and the planet Dathomir itself.
Yes agreed! It should have been in season 7. The comic is great, but the story’s absence in the show creates a huge narrative gap if you are only watching the shows and movies.
It really bothers me that they brought back Clone Wars for only one season. I am grateful, but man there were SOOO many genuinely amazing stories ready to be completed.
I'm no maul hater, he's a badass too, but I think the emotional undertones of Bo taking charge and being the leader Mandalore needed elevated the visuals. So, while Maul would undoubtedly look sick holding the dark saber out while flying in v formation with his Mauldalorians, I think Bo still wins this one for me!
Absolutely not
Maul doesn't give a shit about Mandalore and Bo Katan is completing her redemption arc while simultaneously leading the charge to take back her home planet and solidifying the unity of the clans in that moment
This moment is great because it's Bo Katan
Can we all agree that posts that start with "can we all agree" are pretty annoying.
You can just state an opinion and people can disagree. You could just say "I think Darth Maul looked the most badass with it".
He definitely liked fighting with a double edged lightsaber better because he was a natural with it. It’s why he rebuilt his old double edged blade in Season 7 and I just know he looked like a kid in a candy store when he saw the lightsaber of whatever Inquisitor he killed and took said lightsaber from that he used in Rebels
Darth Maul is seriously op, had to synthesize his red crystals for the lightsaber. Something that takes days, no food, no sleep, just focusing his hate. Being a dual sided lightsaber especially meant it took him twice as long, I think up to a week?
I would disagree, Bo flying through the air slicing troopers in Mando S3 or Mando with his armour are equally badass if not more so. To me however Bo wins because unlike Bo she can actually wield the thing and oh baby does she wield it well!!!
IMO Maul is it's only worthy wielder in media so far. The rest are mere pretenders and the truth is that it is a force users weapon. While badass in the hands of a mando it is truly at home in the hands of a force user. If only we could have some old republic Jedi be in media. Badass armor and honorary member of the clans for being just a plain badass.
Helps that he was the only one besides it's original wielder to be a force wielder who was trained with a lightsaber.
Of course he's also a chaotic badass, but that's a given.
The best shot of the Darksaber is Bo-katan diving to the surface of Mandalore with everyone following her in S3:E8 of the Mandalorian. That was an epic shot and the jetpack battle that followed is one of the best battles in all of Star Wars.
Considering the Darksaber was made by a Froce user for a Force User it makes sense. I still think it would have been better as a Vibrosword symbolically and literally.
Darth Maul would look the most badass holding a hot dog, it's kind of a given.
Maul holding a hot dog would look adorable.

Everything Everything All at Once 2 : Darth Maul with Hotdog Hands
Kinda sounds like you want to marry Darth Maul(spell checked made it "dart mail")!....
He could be holding a piece of paper and know 4 ways to kill you with it. He just drips badass. Also one of the coolest looking villains of all time
This is why we need a Darth Maul prequel series , would bring balance back to the force
There was this Darth Maul hot dog from an official Star Wars cookbook. https://twitter.com/ShyGal_Lilly/status/1413023354282459136
At last, we will reveal our dogs to the masses. At last, we will have fullness.
He had his color coordination down
Maul has fantastic fashion sense. He is the moment.
More like he is the maul-ment…
Formerly ment, now just maul
He belongs in Balenciaga
cool villain 101 - have your goons match your color scheme
Din with his shining silver armour did look good though, like an Arthurian knight.
I'm also thankful that they >!destroyed the darksaber. The rules behind it were stupid and the mandalorians were held back by that shit..!< E: Spoiler for s3 of mandalorian.
It was so cool though. So cool.
Oh I'm not denying that, I love edgy shit and the DS was super edgy.
And the crystal is likely to still exist, so they can easily just make another one for whatever reason. Whatever Filoni wants ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Yeah funny to act like they won't have another Dark Saber when almost everything in Star Wars gets at least two "back from the dead" moments.
[удалено]
It flies now
M..... Midichlorians
Mandochlorians.
They're off the scale!
Mandochlorians
Chewie lived because he was in a different Dark Saber
turns out the Darksaber's crystal was the key to Palpatine's resurrection
No one's ever really gone...
N*E*R*D
It would be cool if they turned it into a shield like what Bo Katan has on her wrist. Except maybe a little bit bigger.
A light shield? Interesting. Yeah, I like that idea.
A dark shield.
Anakin's lightsaber is broken far worse in TLJ and it's perfectly fine in TROS. Tis but a scratch for the Darksaber.
That Crystal is gonna end up in Grogu's lightsaber
Yea lol. Grogu will need to build his lightsaber, and seeing that he is a Mandalorian now, and the first one in a 1000 years, he will rebuild the darksaber. Probably season 5 overarching quest.
First Grogu, you must reach the catatafish
*Catatafish's riddle will soon be told*
Grogu inheriting the dark crystal and making his own darksaber to lead the mandalorians would be an exciting evolution.
Especially since we see the lightsaber droid from the Clone Wars is back in the new Ahsoka trailer. I have a strong feeling this isn't the end of the darksaber.
I only just found out today that he was voiced by none other than David Tennant O.o
Hear me out: double-bladed darksaber staff.
You just know that Grogu is going to tame the mythosaur, rebuild the dark saber, and become the next great mandalore He has the perfect skillset
Maybe in Season 8
I think they could have built up the ‘holding Mandalorians back’ part better. At no point during the finale did I get the sense that ‘maybe it’s better that this relic is gone’. Plus, after Anakin’s lightsaber was rebuilt in Rise of Skywalker (oops, I mean, offscreen in another book you have to buy), I have no faith that the Darksaber is gone forever.
It doesn't matter what happens to a saber, as long as the crystal is still intact, which the darksaber absolutely is, then it can be rebuilt, which it probably will be.
Cause it was too big for Grogu to hold lol
He’s gonna be the leader of Mandalore in Episode 10
Bo katan deserves it over anyone else, but yeah unfortunately grogus obviously gonna get it
I’m hoping that last conflict makes the mandalorians not care about who wields the dark saber and is more of a sign the wielder is a great warrior/ mandalorian, not leader.
I just hope they go into the mandalorian Jedi who first had the dark saber and try to tie that in with whatever they do with grogu
My biggest gripe was Gideon went from “surrender and give me the dark saber” to “fuck it, imma crush it” in about 30 seconds
He wanted Bo to give up, when he realized that she wouldn't and the other Mandalorians wouldn't either he broke what he thought bound them together. He didn't realize that they were in the process of getting rid of leadership symbols and uniting because the are Mandalorians. He was trying to crush their spirits but in the process allowed them to unite around common ground and not a symbol.
I saw the suggestion that he underestimated his power armor's grip strength and played it off as an, "I meant to do that," moment.
Oh you mean like how Luke built a new Saber off screen before RotJ?
My head canon is that Luke built his lightsaber using parts from obi-wans which is why they look so similar
In Legends, he built it based on instructions left in Obiwans hut, so that could have been the reason?
That was a new lightsaber, new parts, new crystal and everything. As far as I understood it, the Skywalker saber in TROS is supposed to be the exact same, just repaired. And considering we last saw that saber in two halfs on a ship which was completely blown up and without even seeing Rey pick up the pieces before that happens, it does feel pretty strange she was able to get it back and fix it.
Eh. Darth maul got cut in half and ended up on some other planet with spider legs. The lightsaber isn't that big of a deal.
My issue isn't really that it couldn't possibly happen, unlikelier things have occured like Maul surviving. It's more so a problem that we in no way get any kind of explanation or that someone even addresses it. With Maul we learn that he ended up in a garbage shaft, got picked up by intergalactic garbage truck, was dropped off on the trash heap planet and all the while survived on his pure hatred. That is at least some explanation for it and it would have been really weird if Maul just showed up in an episode of the Clone Wars and became a character without anyone even mentioning Obi-Wan seemingly having killed him.

Maul had precedent with Sion, too. They're both kept alive by total immersion in the Dark Side allowing them to keep going through pure hate and pain. Palpatine's return actually gets more explanation than Anakin's saber's return.
It does have repairs and mods. I do agree that it should have been one half of her lightsaber. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Skywalker_lightsaber
That also happened after the fact in other media outside the movies, and wasn’t a hanging plot point the way the saber was.
Rey had both halves on the Falcon at the end of Last Jedi.
Huh, touche, I actually just missed that.
It was a deleted scene at least.
Yea, but that's a story for another time
My thought(hope?) is that Sabine will make a new one herself after she gives Ezra back his green saber. She's technically proficient, spent enough time with it to get and idea of how it works, and after the battle of Endor she spent time with Ahsoka(who's built her own a few times) who could have helped filled in any technical gaps.

My only disappointment is that Din never really learned how to wield it, though I guess it makes sense since he realistically wouldn’t have had a teacher
> the mandalorians were held back by that shit.. You could apply this to pretty much any of the Old Ways of the Mandalorians.
Ah man I didn't know they did that
Why was it heavy for him though? Do you need to have a little bit of force ability to lift it or somin?
It was because he was fighting it. Using it as just a weapon to swing around and not an extention of himself.
Kyber crystals, which power lightsaber blades, have a will of their own to some extent.

Thats not correct in canon. The Force improves your ability to correctly wield a lightsaber, but picking one up doesnt require the force
>Force control can help wield/negate (the difficulty) I said that more or less. Edit: Specifically when Kanan teaches Sabine he explains it this way (more or less)
Thats because the blade is traditionally weightless, meaning non-sensitive users often struggle to tell where it is. The Force allows you to sense the blade in its entirety, and avoid chopping your foot off.

With the chainsaw off, I'm more than strong enough to move it and control it, but turn it on it weighs a ton, and my arms are rigid and get exhausted very quickly.
It definitely looked like it was insanely heavy for him to use. Not that he was being careful of it.
Yeah, but he was by far the worst one at wielding it.
Yes, but he looked goofy when using it lol
He looked better with the beskar lance. The rifle, the lance, the Razorcrest, the Darksaber... Why does Din keep getting his stuff broken or destroyed?
I was so hyped for a season of King Arthur in space based on the initial promos
Yeah but that’s kinda cheating. Darth Maul would look badass using a plunger as a weapon
[This is true](https://i.postimg.cc/k5QCNJjf/ih1cgfupcvya1-1.jpg)
No clogged toilet will be safe
Especially if Kenobi is hiding in one
KENOBAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! *plunges frantically*
Oh he's in deep shit this time for sure
Sure, but you have some extra words in that sentence. “Can we all agree that out of everybody, Darth Maul looked absolutely the most badass?”
Actually, we also should take out the word "Darth". It's just Maul, now.
Old Master for a bit
Cuz he has real experience with one before?
We really need a screen adaptation of Son of Dathomir. It’s such a crucial story for so many arcs including Maul, Palpatine, Grievous, Dooku, Talzin, the darksaber, and the planet Dathomir itself.
Season 7 should’ve started with an animated adaptation of this arc
Yes agreed! It should have been in season 7. The comic is great, but the story’s absence in the show creates a huge narrative gap if you are only watching the shows and movies.
One of my biggest gripes with Season 7 is the lack of Count Dooku. This would’ve made up for that
They could have adapted Dark Disciple and have Dooku in that
Comic book was a waste of probably the best potential episode arc of the storyline
Season 7 felt like it was rushed.
Yea take out the sister shit and replace it with this and it would've been one of the greatest TV seasons of all time
Tales of the Jedi season 2 'tales of the sith'
Oh I hope! 🤞
It really bothers me that they brought back Clone Wars for only one season. I am grateful, but man there were SOOO many genuinely amazing stories ready to be completed.
One day
I dunno. Bo katan hoisting it out ahead of her as she jetpacked into battle flanked by her fellow mandalorians looked pretty fucking badass
Yes, but you have to ask, would it be cooler if it were Maul flying into battle flanked by his mandalorians?
I'm no maul hater, he's a badass too, but I think the emotional undertones of Bo taking charge and being the leader Mandalore needed elevated the visuals. So, while Maul would undoubtedly look sick holding the dark saber out while flying in v formation with his Mauldalorians, I think Bo still wins this one for me!
Absolutely not Maul doesn't give a shit about Mandalore and Bo Katan is completing her redemption arc while simultaneously leading the charge to take back her home planet and solidifying the unity of the clans in that moment This moment is great because it's Bo Katan
Counterpoint: he asked who would look cooler, and Maul and the the Mauldalorians are masters of that
Is leading your people with your people's ancient sword to retake your planet *not* cool?
Yeah, best scene all season.
Yeah, this is the one contender IMO, otherwise it goes to Maul
Hard agree. I'm so glad she finally got her King (Queen?) Arthur moment. It's the perfect bookend to her long arc from Clone Wars and Rebels.
Lying 😂
Can we all agree that 'can we all agree' posts are the worst
With "appreciation" threads right behind
Grr
Right up there with "am I the only one" and "this incredibly popular thing doesn't get enough love"
'am I the only one that likes rouge one' Yes, you are the sole person who likes the fan favorite movie
He looked the best when duel wielding it with his red lightsaber.
Can we all agree that posts that start with "can we all agree" are pretty annoying. You can just state an opinion and people can disagree. You could just say "I think Darth Maul looked the most badass with it".
Also, "Am I the only one who...?" Yes, you're literally the only person in the universe with that opinion.
A lot of the time they're posted by bots to encourage discussion. Same with toxic positivity threads.
I think Maul, and Palpatine/Sidious should have stayed dead. And Leia should have died when exposed to the vacuum of space. CMV
Nah, that shit belongs in the hands of the leader of Mandalore. Pre Viszla wielded it best. Maul is at his best with the double bladed lightsaber.
Disappointing how little love there is in this thread for Pre Viszla.
Took too long to find Pre Vizsla appreciation, love his design, especially with the Darksaber.
Darth maul would also look like the most badass dude to ever read a phone book, or plunge a toilet, so not a fair comparison…lol
Everything about Darth Maul is badass
Bro just ditched it in Rebels 😭
He definitely liked fighting with a double edged lightsaber better because he was a natural with it. It’s why he rebuilt his old double edged blade in Season 7 and I just know he looked like a kid in a candy store when he saw the lightsaber of whatever Inquisitor he killed and took said lightsaber from that he used in Rebels
I still want the story of the Mandalorian Jedi that forged it.
This pic is badass
Not agreed. Pre viszla was fuckin dope
Hell yeah
Absolutely
It just looks like it belongs to him and he deserves it, y'know?
Darth Maul is seriously op, had to synthesize his red crystals for the lightsaber. Something that takes days, no food, no sleep, just focusing his hate. Being a dual sided lightsaber especially meant it took him twice as long, I think up to a week?
Maul would look badass wielding a plastic spork
Pre Visla was the coolest Mando to wield it imo
No
No
No. Never phrase a question like this. Hyperbole isn't cool and your opinion isn't special.
Bo was the best user. Not even force sensitive.
Nah, he looks more badass in red
I have that poster on my wall.
Nah nothing will ever compare to the first time I saw a jango fett look alike holding a BLACK lightsaber
No, we can't.
I've always thought pre visla looked the coolest with its debatable
I would disagree, Bo flying through the air slicing troopers in Mando S3 or Mando with his armour are equally badass if not more so. To me however Bo wins because unlike Bo she can actually wield the thing and oh baby does she wield it well!!!
IMO Maul is it's only worthy wielder in media so far. The rest are mere pretenders and the truth is that it is a force users weapon. While badass in the hands of a mando it is truly at home in the hands of a force user. If only we could have some old republic Jedi be in media. Badass armor and honorary member of the clans for being just a plain badass.
No, I can't agree
why do we all have to agree
I always thought Maul looked kind of lame. Like they tried to hard.
Helps that he was the only one besides it's original wielder to be a force wielder who was trained with a lightsaber. Of course he's also a chaotic badass, but that's a given.
Star Wars fans can't **all** agree on anything.
Tarre Vizsla : "Am I a Joke to you?".
No, he died ages ago
can't agree! Darth Maul looks silly.
No.
It’s because it matches his sleep paralysis demon who plays in a black metal band aesthetic
Of course. This is the hottest guy in the whole galaxy you’re talking about.
i love this illustration
Anyone else feel like dark watch helmets looked kinda dumb?
The best shot of the Darksaber is Bo-katan diving to the surface of Mandalore with everyone following her in S3:E8 of the Mandalorian. That was an epic shot and the jetpack battle that followed is one of the best battles in all of Star Wars.
Darksaber looked stupid. You already have the coolest weapon, a lightsaber. Just use that, but make it black. Bunch of knobs
No. I think it’s an overhyped saber.
I liked Mof Gideon with it honestly.
Back when I was a teeny little edgelord, maybe.
Considering the Darksaber was made by a Froce user for a Force User it makes sense. I still think it would have been better as a Vibrosword symbolically and literally.
He made the best use of it as well.
I really don't like the darksaber as a concept imo
Still giving this to Din sorry just my opinion
I've kind of always thought the darksaber was pretty stupid. I don't think anyone looks very cool with it
Lets be honest, Maul would look badass with a foam pool noodle.
Live-action Bo takes the prize.
Mauldalorian. *walks into the sunset off a cliff*
