Lightsabers and their variants have to be some of the coolest fictional weapons imaginable

Dual-phase Splitsaber with Shoto and Crossguard modes. Cal got himself one of the most practical sabers in Star Wars.

Crossguard lightsabers would be functionally better if the cross guard was made of a lightsaber resistant material instead of plasma. That way it can protect the user's hand without endangering further hence defeating its purpose Edit: *sigh*… yes like beskar. You don’t need to mention it

13:12 Well, if we’re going there I’d say my favorite lightsaber is the one from the Phineas & Ferb Star Wars episode where they heavily mod their lightsabers to an entertaining degree.

One variant wasn't mentioned: the Long-handle Lightsaber. Meant to resemble long-handle swords like the nagamaki, pudao, and the swordstaff of different ancient cultures, this lightsaber variant provides more leverage and handling than standards lightsaber. It can be used both as a sword and staff during combat. Darth Chratis, Darth Nihl, and Zao are among those who have used this variant. Hell, I have mine in a yellow blade made by Ultrasabers and brought it to a ComiCon in Indy earlier this year, and I love it! The people at Ultrasabers were there and were kind enough to upgrade my baby with newer parts!

12:59 Golden rays of the glorious sunshine Sending down such a blood-red light

By far my favorite Saber design was Asajj Ventress' curved hilt that joined into a Saber staff

I think the coolest lightsaber variant is the light saber nunchaku, which was wielded by Ventress in the DLC for the classic Star Wars: Battlefront 2. However, I would choose the hinged double-bladed lightsaber like the Temple Guards.

Forgot the ones only seen in the Phineas and Ferb star wars crossover episode

I’m interested in hearing more about things such as vibroblades, in relation to how they differ & resemble a standard saber. Also, more about whips. This was interesting and at parts, funny. (That bit at the end with the Lego Maul octosaber!) Thank you

The telescoping lightsaber pike from the Knights of the Eternal Throne trailer is the variant that I'd love to see brought into canon. It can be used as a normal lightsaber, or you can extend the handle for extra reach.

The Darksaber's creator wasn't the ONLY Mandalorian Jedi, he was the FIRST.

I've got two that you missed. The Death Star could be seen as a sort of over powered Lightsaber Rifle as it used Kyber crystals to power it's laser. And the "Contained Energy Axe" was a lightsaber axe.

You forgot the war dragon rider lightsaber. It's a saberstaff, but has a small blade in between the ends, for a total of three blades.

I’d use a standard double blade lightsaber, with a yellow crystal. Simple, but effective

(uses a Light Parasol) I'M MARY POPPINS, Y'ALL!!!😆😆😆

The gauntlet one that was gonna be wielded by plo would have been awesome to see

Split saber, green crystal. I love the idea of Jedi consulars and the split saber is just so efficient.

Crossguard lightsabers were a mistake, unless the emitters are made of something lightsaber resistant. It doesn't accomplish the function of a crossguard. In all other lightsabers, the emitter is a weakness. You slash it, the blade goes out. Kylo Ren's actually makes sense. It's making up for other faulty characteristics. Other than that, it comes off too much as someone just thinking it would look cool.

I would use a double bladed lightsaber, with the bottom saber being a dual-phase shoto. It'd mainly be used single-bladed as a standard saber with a somewhat longer hilt as to keep the second hidden. The shoto would detach and as to be used as two separate sabers. Only reason I got this idea is due to a Darth Vader toy from when I was kid that featured a huge hilt with a small dagger like saber that could be removed or added to the bottom.

I'd definitely use Cal Kestis's saber, its just got so many options

Call me Gen. Grevious because I CHOOSE ALL OF 'EM

I fr loved the tonfa ligtsaber bc of how the design looked...then next is the dark saber. But I mean the other sabers are just insane and I never knew there was a lot of different designed lightsabers.

This isn't necessarily about the video itself but I really really liked the art of Ezra on the cover, it looked really cool.

Ezra should have kept the hybrid blaster-saber. Yes, he had grown as a Jedi and didn’t need the extra trick to keep up, but he was also not in a position where he should be turning down any advantage. Also, it lets him stun people, which frankly is a rare option for lightsabers to have.

So i kinda have an idea for a lightsaber. Similar to ezras and some inquisitors, it would have a hand guard like a regular saber, but instead of it being metal, it would have an electric current that could block other lightsabers and could be used as a stunning attack I also love the idea that a jedi or sith could replace a missing arm with a lighsaber. It wouldn't be good at blocking blasters, but it would be a suprise to anyone fighting them up close. Like an assassin but star wars.

Great content man! I was hooked after 1 video. Keep it up my force wielder brother

I'd use a guard shoto, with reinforced areas of either vibroblade or beskar to assist in deflecting other sabers.

light pike all day, historically, long pointy stick win, and being able to mod the shaft so you can utelize the shorter blade for CQC would be an added bonus

I have three things to say about this video. 1. You forgot to mention that in the Legends timeline, Luke Skywalker used a Shoto saber to counter lumia's lightwhip. 2. That parasol lightsaber and lightsaber gauntlet looks awesome. I wish they made a toy of those. 3. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi must have had waterproof lightsabers in Episode 1, seeing how they were able to go swimming on the way to the Gungan city and use them later to fight battle droids. Also, Luke must have waterproofed his lightsaber prior to Episode 5.

Wouldn't a light-pike using a magma kyber crystal retain all the advantages and minimal disadvantages? Greater reach Dangerous blade that spits lava is now near your enemy and not you Still heavier and slower Minimize the danger by using beskar for important parts of the hilt this is the weapon I'd want for a a duel I'd probably want a dual-phased saber with a longer beskar hilt to allow for more varied combat in general.

I think it would be cool to see some of these as stances in jedi survivor sequel especially light saber pike

Thank you so much for this!!!

The Death Stars, Star Destroyers on the Exagol and Star Killer Base can also be seen as lightsabers. after all, they too are powered by Kyber Crystals.

Lord Corvax’s lightsaber can be considered a single-blade saber or a new type ?

i was expecting a lightsaber bayonet attached to a laser musket rifle

Love your videos

A fine addition to my collection

I'm digging the flicker fase with red Crystal dishonorable saber maybe so but huge advantage

I would personally use a double-bladed lightsaber but rarely ever use the second blade; meaning I could have the benefits of the longer hilt and keep a hidden blade to surprise unsuspecting enemies

Love watching you Vlad

If I had to choose a lightsaber I think I would want a Zweihandler styled cross guard saber in either black or white. Meaning a triple handed length handle with a blade between 5 and 5 and a half foot long similar to my family sword. We’re Poles and have a claymore styled great sword that was passed down our family line until it ended up in my father’s hands and finally me. It’s seen warlike and decorative purposes. It was even involved in the resistance of the nazis and survived the Warsaw insurrection. I think I would be trying to pay homage to it.

I’d love an axe or warhammer variant. Like a saber that could be supercharged from the force from a Jedi’s last stand. That’d be cool

All of these lightsabers are so cool AM so excited to see more New lightsaber types in future of star wars

I feel like cal kestus’s lightsaber should’ve been an honorary mention. I could change forms into single, staff, dual and cross gaurd. I don’t think any other lightsabers have EVER done that before.

I kind of think the standard lightsabers strength is in it's elegant simplicity, anything more only makes it gimmicky.

What about the 5-bladed spinning lightsabers from the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars crossover thing?

I would wield a crossguard for sure. I just love its cool look.

There are so many lightsaber variants to choose from, but my favorites are the Dual Phase Lightsaber, Split Saber, the Standard Lightsaber, the Lightsaber-Blaster Hybrid, and the Saber Cane, but if i had to choose only one, it would be the Split Saber. I would be a Jedi wielding the Split Saber in combat against my enemies

I really liked the blade used by the guy in the star wars visions episode where he couldn't retract the blade

Well. My main jedi in swtor uses a lightsaber hilt that has holes in it similar to heated exhaust tubes has yellowish orange crystal that looks exactly like a lava blade and also the incinerator tunning which makes the hilt look like it’s super heated at the emitter section and the blade looks like it produces a lot of heat. So out of all these I guess I’d use a lava crystal even though my jedi is light side. I rotate between that and a white cross guard lightsaber

I would wield curved, flicker phase split sabers. One purple, one orange.

That umbrella light saber will forever be my favorite.

Would love too see more green an purple in the future, i also didnt know there was orange lightsabers so that was cool

I like the idea that all lightsabers have actual blades, like the dark saber, but the plasma glow is so much brighter that you cannot usually see the blade edge. This helps explain why, in the movies and such, some things would get hit by a light saber and not actually get cut, but still take some heat damage

I’m sure yoda “hated” it 😂😂 considering his wise words of “fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to sufferingggg” 🤔

The light halbert. Its a cross guard saber with a long grip and sabers out of both ends but one with an equidistant cross guard snd blade. Super impractical but pretty badass looking with the halbert blade end dragging behind you.

Definitely would use a Splitsaber. The idea of having two lightsabers turn into a dual with out the clunkyness of a dual lightsaber sounds op

Hard choice given their are multiple interesting ones but i think double bladed that can be split into two offers the most versatile option so csn use a double bladed, two sabers or a single one I also think should do a video on none saber melee weapons

If i could merge all of these lightsabers into one id be pretty happy

id choose the lightsaber pike or umbrella but if i could make my own it would be a trident design with the side blade being large vents that can spun like a shield O and an adjustable length hilt

I'm curious, what about the force saber made it require use of the dark side? I love the thought of a light foil and force saber combo

I like the whip, scythe and the gauntlet they look fun to use ngl

oo a flickerphase saber or foil sounds like quite a handy idea ;)

I really like the splitsaber!!

I would use a double-bladed lightsaber, hinged double-bladed lightsaber, and/or a splitsaber. They would be ideal for the completely new form I’d create, which involves using The Force to rapidly spin the blades in front of you as a shield and also using acrobatics. Overall the form would be primarily a more defensive form, but at times, used highly aggressively during offensive manuvers

I like the second form of light saber pike and light foil.

I always find myself falling in the gray Jedi zone. As such I would chose a Duel-Phase Light Saber, with a Terresta (dark core) orange Crystal modified with a red Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse Lightsaber.

the spinning dual lightsaber has to be the goofiest, you can just... fly away from combat by spinning them fast enough, that's like saying if you held a helicopter propeller with a powerful enough motor to spin it, so you can fly away, it's just so disjointed from any practical dueling or combat techniques, that's why you HAVE to love it.

My favorite Lightsaber variates are Doubleedged Lightsabers, Rotating Lighsabers, Lightwhips and Darksaber, you can see a pattern here...

00:39 Sorry I didn't hear you there properly. The *what* consisted of a plasma blade...?

Lowkey the split saber seems like the one for me

What about Lord Corvaxes lightsaber because that has a really unique design and because of its design the kyber crystal has to be kinda small because of how it was held

We can see in a new hope that luke's lightsaber has a flat side when he first switches it on, as it was originally designed to mimic a real life sword

The unexpected transition to Lego darth maul killed me 💀

The Lightsaber Rifle is basically Star Wars’s version of the Wing Gundam and Wing Zero’s buster rifles from Gundam Wing, but smaller. Like the buster rifles, it still packs one helluva punch. However, like the Wing Gundam’s (TV version) buster rifle, it’s only limited to a few shots.

I hope at some point they do another blaster hybrid saber in the style of the Gunblade from Final Fantasy.

i would actually put attachments on my sabers and maybe merge/fuse/join them together. Such as, my lightsaber gauntlet would have the abilities of every other lightsaber like it can blast, act as a whip, be used as a spinning saber shield, etc.

The blaster hybrid saber reminds me a lot of the weapon used by the title character in the Ulysses 31 cartoon.

I'd personally go for a saber-pike/shoto blade combination. I can hold the smaller blade while I'm using the pike and use it to defend if someone closes the gap.

I have an idea for a better blaster-saber. A bayonet hand canon: get two kyber crystals, one for a shoto-saber bayonet, and the other for a kyber blaster. The hilt can adjust between straight or curved (though to do it mid combat would require special designs)

All these lightsaber types and even learning about the prototype fotm of lightsabers was immensely intriguing as heck~! A curious question? Is possible for a lightsaber's blade to change form via a mechanism on the handle from a sword to a whip version? Or was there something else required to achieve such an effect? 🤔🤔🤔

I would choose to wield a lava crystal broadsaber, and I would probably be a sith. Being able to use a fiery laser broadsword as the coolest and most badass faction in Star Wars, like seriously, why would I choose anything else?

Cal kestis' lightsaber: i dont know what it is but it works

@red five... the page at the very beginning of the video. Where dose that come from?

So the broad saber is just the crucible from DOOM

The protosaber is literally what the jack smith has, which means they are close to making a real light saber

Ahh, you forgot the Phineas and Ferb special lightsabers

I think I'd probably wield a purple crossguard saber with a metal crossguard. That, or the lava saber, considering I've played the Vr Star Wars game, "Vader Immortal"

I'm here almost entirely because I just purchased a pair of guard shoto, so that answers that question.

What lightsaber or lightsabers I would use has been an in-depth conversation I've had with a lot of my star wars fan friends, i personally would learn the trick Darth Treya used to have 3 lightsabers fight without me holding them, while I would personally be armed with a guard-shoto and a lightwhip.

I would most likely want the sickle bladed lightsaber or the great lightsaber which are both very different but I feel like I'd have fun and be good with both

I'd use far killer for dealing with long range attacks and a broad saber and the technique trakata for up close and personal

I love the tonfa sabers

I would kill for this to be a series. A lightsaber academy like cobra kai or something

The helicopter blade is the dumbest thing ever in Star Wars.....

A separable double bladed dark saber would be my dream

Where did you get the chart with all the sabers?

What was the weapon used by Dryden Vos? How is that different from a light saber and what about the electrical looking staffs and tonfas used by imperial guards? Great content! Keep it up!

lightsaber whip dual would be insane in live action
