Star Wars Episode 3

[WarLocke]

Then there are Dual-Phase Lighsabres.  One of the earliest uses of these that I can remember was in the hands of Exar Kun - a dreaded Sith warlord who enslaved the native peoples of Yavin IV and nearly took over the galaxy.  He weilded a Double-Bladed Dual-Phase Sabre, so with a simple twist of his hands he was able to control both of the blades length and how much force they could exert over another blade.  He won many battles by changing his blades around in this way: switching lengths then dialing down the resistance so the incoming jedi's blade passed harmlessly through his own while opening up a good killing strike area.

Those never existed. NEVER. :angry:

1) The idea is just... wacky.

2) If the ubersabres gave such an advantage, why would anyone use a 'normal' sabre?

This is one of the things about the EU I refuse to acknowledge (similar to Ysalamiri, Yuuzhan Vong, and cortosis).

(Also, were the staves Greivous' robots using supposed to be 'force pikes'? I can't think of any reason why they would block lightsabres other than that - not sure if I'm glad of a nod to KotOR or if I'm angry at them finding a cheap way to make those fights drag on)
