Yes he did. That's actually why Count Dooku's lightsaber hilt is curved. Christopher Lee wanted it to be curved to feel more like the fencing foils he was accustomed to using.

@@mattjack3983Actually that is not true. I have only ever seen that said on youtube as hearsay without any other valid sources. Wookepedia states that the Art Department Assistant Roel Robles drew inspiration from various Filipino swords, knives, and spears; the Barong, one of them, had a curved handle which provided a firmer grip for its bearer

As you've said - one of the unfortunate drawbacks of this particular type of replica as well as the thin neck sabers like Luke's blade from ep. 6 is the very shallow blade socket. It limits the amount of stress the blade can handle.

I've always loved how they incorporated the actual actor's self into their light sabers or they let the actor choose their own light saber. Like how Mace Windu got a purple light saber because Samuel L Jackson asked for one, or how Christopher Lee has a hilt built in the style of fencing since he was a fencer.

@bluebomber81 7 ай бұрын

I am big time form and function over everything, so am fine with exceptions made to accuracy that keeps buttons away from grip areas. Much prefer blasters were harder to access than, say, the Shin Hati sabers I've seen where you are going to be doing it all of the time. Something in the app that maybe disables button function in some ways would be great. Also would be great if they made larger pommels like that as a part you could add to toss some larger speakers in these. Doesn't look like the diameter is increased on this one, but these saber companies should certainly consider this. 🙏🙏

@robinswords 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, I'll always prefer faithful fidelity to play features. Even as a kid, I was always miffed when some toy had an oversized barrel for a spring loaded shooter and ruined an otherwise respectable depiction of some vehicle or other.

@bluebomber81 7 ай бұрын

@@robinswords definitely feel they can bring the two together with these. With swappable parts, some can be more accurate, another can boost sound. That would be sweet. It's tough cause there's almost competing interest in these. Some all about accuracy, some like me fine to sacrifice for the other features. And I have a hard time expressing myself constructively about it, lol. 😅

@robinswords 7 ай бұрын

It reminds me of the Black Series AT-ST. Despite the host of issues it had, the great thing it did was provide two different chin turrets. One was a spring dart shooter that was all out of proportion, and the other was an accurate turret to-scale. It was up to you which you used. I liked that consideration.

@bluebomber81 7 ай бұрын

@@robinswords yes, this is absolutely the way. Perfectly doable with the sabers, too. Either have a separate pommel, or like the one on the crossguard with a removable bit. I'm thinking they could do some two piece units that easily hold 28mm or even 31mm speakers. Found some 27s I can make work, and it's a big difference. You hear more, but then also FEEL it. Especially on ignitions, it gives a nice little bump. Feels powerful. 😅

I am now the proud owner of a light saber just like this! It arrived today in fact and I absolutely love it. The grip on the hilt is a little too grippy, it hurts my soft hands and my wrist is being put through the ringer swinging it around in one hand. But these are things I can work on. I haven't fenced in years but the instincts are still thea, as I'm pointing and sweeping again and it feels fantastic. Currently forcing myself to use form one for more control and better handling. My boxing training is helping me to slip back into old/standard stance. Gotta find the hand squeezesrs to increase my grip strength next tho too!

Why is there no budget version like other neopixel/baselit lightsabers? I don’t mean a budget replica Dooku lightsaber, I mean any kind of curved lightsaber hilt to fully utilize the Makashi form and made for dueling. And when I meant curved, I meant the entire hilt, not the one where you just switched the bottom portion/pommel part of the lightsaber to be curved while the rest remains straight.

@robinswords 7 ай бұрын

It's one of my favorite Star Wars games. I highly recommend anyone that's remotely a fan of Fett or Mandalorians in general give it a try. Though the difficulty does have some wild spikes; the nexu that are essentially one-shot-kill jump-scares, and the tusken snipers that will 360 no-scope you out of the air come to mind. I could never finish it as a kid; I was too terrified of the Bando Gora horde. If this is in regards to my other video about crediting Ventress with the saber first, my rationale was that while Vosa was inspired by the Sith Villainess, Ventress just straight up is the Sith Villainess. When looking at the concept art, who does it more resemble? As the curved hilt originated with the Sith Villainess, I think the inheritance falls to the more exact adaptation, but I do realize it's a subjective topic and I wouldn't fault anyone for making the claim it should be credited to Vosa as the first published adaptation of the Sith Villainess.
