Or even this, because the writers made her overpowered and will need to take down Kylo Ren's three blades with four blades. Or even have a scene that she's taking down a bunch of Knights of Ren by herself, since she was able to take down a partially trained Sith lord by herself in VII.

kylo is a sith initiate. not a lord. thats why he doesnt have a darth in his name¨


and as someone said earlier. i would love to see her use a saber staff...but most likely its just going to be a boring old lightsaber...

Well theres no evidence that hes even a part of the sith order, theres a good chance he is simply a dark side user, or maybe the "knights of Ren" will be the new sith order

which would make them the new sith order....since y know..not only is kylo supposedly taught by a sith how to do dark side stuff (or atleast a dark side force user)

but he is sorta gargling on the cock of a very famous sith as well...speaking of which, where does the ren come from...

Sith is the name of the order, using the Dark side of the force does not neccessarily mean that they are Sith, or that they follow all of the Sith customs and doctrines. For example, since there are like 8 of them, they already broke a rule of the sith order

there has been several different indocrinations of the sith order(to a point that there has actually been several sith empires).also there is only two actual confirmed force users/siths at the moment.snoke and ren, nobody else has been shown to even carry a lightsaber. and considering atleast kylo is drawing heavily from vader, and the sith order he was part of. it would mean kylo would most likely adopt the doctorine of the sith.

Disney confirmed the existance of Revan in the elxplanatioon of Kylo Ren's lightsaber, but he is the only thing that is canon from that era, and we dont know for sure they mean the KOTOR incarnation of Revan, or a new incarnation of Revan to be fleshed out in the future.

if the character is stated to be canon, then it is more logical to assume the characters story is canon. since the story is what makes the character. it is highly illogical to think that they would declare a character canon, and then strip of everything from that character that made him who he was.

its also illogical for Disney to strip everything that was made about star wars (including all of the Old republic games) as non-canon, but they did it anyway. Whether or not we like it doesn't matter, they own the franchise, they decide what is and is not canon. They said The old republic is not canon. They can bring a new interpretation of a character from that universe if they want to because they are literally rewriting it. You can make as many assumptions and speculations you want, but that doesn't make them true.

no its not illogical.they wanted to craft their own continuity. what is illogical however. is to think that a character that is stated to be canon, is not the same as the character was in canon.


until you can either find proof that disney has specifically said "this character is canon, but not his story, not his personal history, not even the major factors of his history LIKE THE SITH EDICT THAT HE REFORMED FROM THE CHAOTIC MESS THAT WAS KNOWN AS THE SITH EMPIRE" then you are the one making illogical claims.

After the sale to Disney, Lucasfilm confirmed that the two trilogies, the Clone Wars series (2008) and the new movies are all canon. Moving forward all comics, books, and video games will also be canon.

"While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU. He set the films he created as the canon."

After further research, it appears the canon reference to the video games is the Scourge of Malachor, that and only that, no names. So im actually not sure if Revan is mentioned.

Also to bring this argument back to its origin, in this Kylo is listed as a "Dark warrior" not Sith Apprentice/Acolyte/Initiate

It was a new Sith empire, but it wasnt derived from the chaos of the old one, it was created to directly oppose it, the original Sith Empire was still in its prime and strength at the time, Revan created this new one to attempt to make the Republic into an entity that could withstand the Original Sith Empire's impending invasion. It was also destroyed and disbanded, so none of the teachings of this Sith empire were passed down to the lineage of Sith that lead to Palpatine and Vader.

Yeah i read that and saw no mention of Revan. I doubt they would make him canon though as it seems like Disney doesn't give 2 ***** about events prior to the prequels.

They could however do something with Revan/The Old Republic with a pretty simple explanation : "Luke was out in that sector looking for an ancient Jedi archive that has the secrets on how to properly train a young Jedi so that something like Kylo Ren doesn't happen again and he gains the knowledge of ancient masters like Revan/Bastilla" and boom just like that Disney has made a whole lot of fans happy with very little effort.

That lightsaber would be absolute **** in a fight. All you would really have with it is a slightly larger reach. The second they got past it you would be stabbed faster than you can say "scruffy looking nerf herder". Most weapons would not transition well into a lightsaber form.

It doesn't change the fact that it is an incredibly bad dueling weapon. In a one on one fight between a guy with a spear and a guy with a sword, who do you think would win? If the spear managed to hit him before he got close enough he could win, but that's an incredibly big if and if they got by then they would be ****** because there would be nothing they could do for defense. It's likely those guys were only good with them for the reasons than plot points and they wanted characters that had outrageously unique weapons. Often, when trying to milk money from a franchise(especially Star Wars), writers will create outrageous characters to try to bring in the "wow that's cool!". Look at Darth Maul. The biggest thing about him was his lightsaber. IT was so different than anything we saw. Granted a double bladed saber can be good for combat, but that doesn't mean a spear like weapon would.

Spears are not good for dueling.

as a martial artist this is ******** . a glaive/naginata gives the advantage of extended reach and, if used properly, keeps your opponent at a distance to minimize weaknesses in your defense. you can have a sword/saber and give me a naginata and you will never get close enough to hit me

I said it has better range, but as a martial artist you must know it's weakness is that if you can get within range you're ****** . This isn't a debate about skill. This is the debate of how effective a weapon is in a duel. In the hands of an expert any weapon can be useful, but if it's against someone who is equally effective with a sword then it comes down to if they get close enough. If they get past the blade, you are pretty much ****** . When they swing at you when they pass your blade range, how will you block? With the handle? That will get lobbed off and you'll get slashed. If you had a double bladed saber then you could at least have a blade closer to you to swat away his/her blade.

yea but the problem is getting past the weapon's range to get the stab

that's the strength of polearm weapons they force the opponent to stay far away and then they must counter the polearm user to get past the weapon and into their weakspot

If two equally trained people fought, one with a polearm and one with a sword, the polearm user would wins nearly every time

That's not my point at all. My point is that if the combatant gets past then you have no defense.

I know that's its strength. That's really all it has if it's a lightsaber. It's still possible to get by it and if they do, you're ****** . That's my point. I'm not talking about skill or someones hypothetical ability to get by it or not. I'm saying it's a very impractical weapon for saber dueling.

If they are dead equal in skill with each weapon it would come down to if the swordsman can get by the blade or not. Why do you automatically assume that it's an unstoppable weapon that no one can pass? That is the weapon's biggest flaw. Get by the blade and you win. There simply is no defense past the blade. If you tried to block with the handle then the saber would just cut right through it and go into you. There is no defense capabilities when they get close.

A spear lightsaber is just a really long handle that can be broken with a small blade. One swipe good swipe at the handle and you now have a dagger. Another big weakness of a lightsaber spear is you can very easily chop the top of the handle off. It's harder to pull it away from a blade trying to cut the dangerous part off. Pull it too far away and you've just opened yourself for them to get close enough to where the weapon is useless.

That weapon does not transition well into a lightsaber. Very impractical.

yes i understand it is possible to get by and yes if they get past the tip of it you're gonna have a bad time, but they are ways to counter that if you are trained properly

You're making it sound like it's superior to a sword in every way. Its strength is in its reach, but it's the weapon's biggest flaw as well. It is very much possible to get around it. It would be much easier to beat a lightsaber version than a real one. That pole handle is very vulnerable. You keep ignoring my point. It's not a debate on how hard it would be to get past it or how easy. It's that if you do then there is no defense whatsoever. It's not even an impossible feat either. It can obviously be done. If two force sensitive fights got into a serious duel then likely whomever had the spear would lose. You can't keep the enemy at bay forever. All they have to do is stay out of range of the blade and wait for an opening. They could chop at the base of the blade and cut the whole blade off.

We're not talking about medieval weapons. We're talking about how they would transition to a lightsaber. Spear type weapons like the glaive and halberds had the advantage of greater reach and the option of putting more weight and power into your strikes without putting yourself in a vulnerable spot. The thing is that would not affect a lightsaber. Those things weight practically nothing. A little extra weight into it really won't change much so you're just left with a greater reach. Spears are also very different than lightsaber spears. Spears are not good for slashing. You can slash with them, but they aren't very effective that way. They are mainly meant for stabbing. A lightsaber spear can slash and stab with the same effectiveness. Not all weapons will work the same if they in a lightsaber form. Lightsabers don't matter what way you use them. As long as the blade touches something, it will do equal damage. It's common sense, man. I'm not trying to sound like a dick. It's just pretty easy to find the flaws in every weapon by looking at them or how they are used.

If you show me a weapon, I can probably tell you how it's best used and what its weakness is.

You keep ignoring my whole point. This is not a debate on the ease of getting around the blade. Stop bringing that up. This was a debate about how the weapon has absolutely no defense once you get by the blade.

Do you not realize a lightsaber could very easily chop that blade off? If you try to keep the hilt out of range of the lightsaber you are leaving yourself very open.

"why the hell would I give my opponent an opening!?"
Nobody intentionally gives an opening. It just happens.

"making a spear into a lightsaber spear would bascially make it even better than before "
A lightsaber will make the wapon better for obvious reasons of being able to cut in any way and through most materials, but if you come across a lightsaber the spear is a horrible weapon. Land a blow on the handle and your spear is ****** .

Look at this picture for a clearer example. Yes you have greater reach with the spear, but your opponent doesn't need to try to hit you. All they have to do is hit the completely unguarded hilt. In the old days this wasn't a problem with the weapon because a sword wasn't likely to lob the blade clean off, but with lightsabers simply touching the hilt will with the saber will render the spear a useless stick. All lightsabers share that problem, but with a spear lightsaber you are shoving the hilt in your opponent's direction for an easy hit.

Real spear like weapons(not lightsaber) didn't have the threat of the blade being lobbed off. Unless you got a good hard swing at the pole, you were not likely to cleave it off. The pole could be used as part of the weapon. If the enemy managed to get by for a swing you could at least attempt to swing the other side of the pole to try to block, but that doesn't work when it's a lightsaber. The lightsaber will cut clean through it like wet paper.

Yes, the spear will give you good reach, but the hilt is very vulnerable. With a sword saber you can at least move the hilt out of the way and still defend with the blade. With a double bladed lightsaber you can swing the hilt out of the way and counter with a swing of the other side as you swing it back. With the spear, if you pull it out of the way you are also pulling your only offensive tool away and leaving yourself open for them to get close. When they get close you have no defense. That is why a lightsaber spear is very ineffective. The very vulnerable hilt and the the fact you are defenseless if they get by the blade.

In a lightsaber duel, you have to only use the blades. The handle is not part usefull. You can't use a lightsaber spear the same way you would use a regular spear. A regular spear shaft is at least somewhat usable to block a blade swipe. A lightsaber spear's shaft cannot stop a blade so your only offensive and defensive abilities is the smaller blade. Even if you are very skilled with the weapon, you can only rely on the blade part. The shaft cannot be used to block at all. If you try to block with the shaft, then you lose your lightsaber. All they have to do is land a single blow on any part of the upper shaft past your hands and your entire weapon is ****** .

Yes the sword can't reach you while you keep your distance, but all they would have to do is hit the very vulnerable shaft. Do you see the flaws in the weapon now?

well you obviously dont know anything about starwars cause there are materials that resist lightsaber blades

The Qinata (a lightsaber spear basically) had a handle wrappped entirely of Cortosis-fiber. If you struck this with another lightsaber it would short out the lightsaber. So it would be a huge advantage for the lightsaber spear user.

I know there are lightsaber resistant materials. Don't assume I don't. You obviously don't know a lot about it if you think every lightsaber is made of the stuff. It's a very rare material. There is Mandalorian Steel, but that doesn't do a whole lot.

Cortosis is the most effective lightsaber resistant material yes, but it is also an incredibly rare material. Not something people casually make a saber out of.

Your counter argument is basically "well it'll be made out of strong material". The thing is that is then creating a biased fight. You're essentially just trying to stack the odds in your favor. I mean, if you get to throw in an extra variable then I'll toss in one too. The swordsman will have Cortosis armor and another lightsaber. This is a hypothetical fight between two average people. The average lightsaber isn't made out of lightsaber resistant materials. Look at Darth Maul's. That thing was cut in half. Anakins first lightsaber was also cut by a basic industrial blade. Most lightsabers are not heavily reinforced. It would be fairly pointless. It would be far easier and cheaper to just replace your lightsaber. Most lightsaber users don't come across someone who can effectively cut a lightsaber handle so they don't see the point in reinforcing them.

Except saber dueling is a huge part of every movie(although IV had somewhat less importance). If you encounter another force user then out come the lightsabers. How does a saber staff make more sense than a double bladed saber for Rey? She had a double sided staff and is used to fighting with it. I don't see how a single bladed staff would be better than a double sided one(when she used a double bladed for years).

The way you were wording your comments made it sound like you were referring to the spear like saber in the original comment. The debate was about the impracticality of the spear like saber and you gave an example where it worked then said your comment about the staff making more sense. A misunderstanding, but I thought you were talking about the spear saber staff(I think it's called a lightsaber pike?).

You're "debating" practicality in a fictional universe where lightsabers exist, ships can travel at the speed of light, certain people have magic powers, and a unit of measurement of distance is used for a measurement of time.

I don't think practicality matters much, to be honest.

Practicality is important. All that stuff you listed is science fiction and doesn't really factor around impracticality. If anything it is closer to impossible/unfeasible. Impracticality is more like a a rocket launcher with a bayonet. Sure it can be useful, but it really isn't very useful. A spear like saber really wouldn't be good for much and essentially is limiting the effectiveness of a lightsaber thus making it impractical.

well thats neither right nor wrong,the secondary "blades" are, functionally, heat vents because his saber is very poorly built, add on an unstable crystal, so the mechanism cannot maintain the correct output and needed those vents added, which of course also serve as extra offense/defense

basically his saber is a piece of **** and is lucky that it doesnt just detonate in his hands instead

Why do people instantly think Kylo was a horrible force user and horrible swordsman just because they hear he never finished his training? Do people forget that he stopped a blaster shot with ease? That takes a lot to do. Also, his fighting style is not just "random whacking" like so many people think. Kylo was obsessed with Vader and tried to do everything he could to be like him Including mimicking his fighting style. Luke Skywalker VS Darth Vader Empire Strikes Back Bespin Duel HD Skip to 4:50 to see Vaders whacking style. Both Kylo and Vader relied on brute force in combat so they swing really hard.

I hope someone ends up with a blaster + lightsaber combo. Or a lightsaber + lightdagger combo, if such a thing exists.

four blades would be more of a hindrance than advantage, to manoeuvre the blades around in combat without hitting herself would be really hard. and the advantages of four blades are really limited considering she cant move each blade independently, due to them being attached in pairs and she only has two hands

i suspect it'd be one double edge if anything, but she's got anakins blade, so she's probably gonna use that one, that thing shouldn't even exist any more but they've pulled it from definite destruction for the sake of her having it so its safe to assume she's gonna use it.

I think it'll be a rather neat idea for her to have a double bladed lightsaber.

THEORY TIME:

Rey is Luke's daughter, who he trained along with Ben and other Jedi initiates. When Luke has to leave, they use the Force to memory wipe her, and then plant her on that planet. Thats how she instinctively knew how to wield a light saber, and use the Jedi mind trick.

Addition to theory admin give us edits plox :

When Kylo tried to force her to tell him what she knew, it unlocked some of the memories, which is why she was previously so easily contained by his force

Rey is such a terrible character, honestly if Abrams tried he couldn't make a worse Mary Sue.

she wasnt able to take him down by herself though
he took a blaster shot from chewy
then got in a fight with fin where he got hit once
THEN she faught him after he had already taken quite a bit of damage, they were even stressing that he was badly hurt from chewys shot while they were fighting him cos he was constantly dripping blood and hitting himself in the side to get the feeling back

*QUESTION THAT CONTAINS SPOILERS AHEAD*

So how was Rey able to beat the **** out of Kylo so easily? He's been training ever since he was a child, has done force **** no one's done before, was easily able to force push, make people pass out, and freeze them in place. And this girl masters the force in 2 hours and wrecks him. It seems like such a major flaw.

"Chewbacca shot him": So? He was still able to force-push Fin after getting shot.
"Rey has experience fighting" Very true, but how often do you come across an experienced sword fighter on Jakku?
"Kylo wasn't fighting to kill" True, he wanted to teach Rey, but there's a difference between not fighting to kill, and getting your ass handed to you. If the plot convince of the planet splitting didn't separate them, he'd be ******* dead.
"He was emotionally damaged" Yeah sorta. But again, this doesn't seem like a reason to suddenly forget everything you've been learning for 2 decades. Not to mention wanting to fight for your life.

Ok rant over. Hopefully there's an obvious answer to this that I missed.

Because she has a vagina. If she ever loses a fight, people who don't even care about star wars will lynch the writers.

Kylo ren was:
only partially trained
emotionally unstable
already injured
clearly on tilt(that thing you get when your performance decreases because you're getting frustrated)

while rey clearly didn't know what she was doing, kylo was heavily disadvantaged from multiple sources, and once rey had gained enough confidence to get better using the force (which, lets be honest, the force has been a deus ex machina since ep IV) she was above him in ability at that specific point.

And to anyone who thinks that her getting better is sjw propaganda **** off, there's nothing wrong with a girl being more than a princess in star wars. She's a little mary sue-ish but so was anakin. I mean VII did feel a bit like each character was a check off on the "minority/gender" list, but it didn't really impact the story in any way. now if you want to argue mad max was sjw propaganda then you're a REAL idiot.

>>#74, also after reading this he brings up the good point of bleedout. After fighting with fin it makes sense for kylo to be MUCH more fatigued/low on blood.

for starters i have a problem with everyone being upset that ren got beat by ray, when hes better trained and all that. he got shot with a ******* bowcaster. chewy hit that kid almost square in his stomach. and what happened to him? he took it like a champ and then continued to go fight 2 people in the freezing snow tundra, while bleeding out. kids a G
