[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nimrod: [QB] 1: Yes, it was wonderful to see all the tidbits and details in the book. I'm pretty sure we'll see more of the "unused" props in the later ep's. 2: Not a little question at all, Abe! [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] This is what I've heard, and like to believe: The first movie presented us with the REAL Jedi-breed, who at the time was a universal organization of justice, peace-keeping and diplomacy. They were the "Holy knights" of their time. So Qui-Gonn's and Obi-Wan's sabres, as well as the Jedi-councils's, were built by their owners in the Jedi Temple in Coruscant, when they were padawan's, apprentice's. The Jedi Temple had a wide variety of parts to choose from, and encouraged creativeness from the padawan's part. The visual dictionary suggests that sabres built in places other than Coruscant weren't as advanced. Although the overall culture of the galaxy seemed to be flourishing! When the Jedi were systematically slaughtered and the universe set in chains, most of the spirit vanished. The real reason is of course that Lucasfilm has a slightly bigger budget now, and can hire some artists to create wonderful sabres, which I think is allright! They still like to be clever though. Yoda's sabre was built partially from parts of a flashlight, just like in the good ol' days! [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] 3: I guess! [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] 4: Yes, I have also heard of the way the actors got their sabres. But, true or untrue, I still think the right actors got the right sabres, so it doesn't really matter. 5A: Actually, Mace Windu had a different sabre during and after the movie. At some point though, they changed it to the saber shown in VD. Yes, it is from the same parts as Mauls, and No, no reason has been divulged. A picture of the real sabre can be found at the site linked by Frank, eight posts up. 5B: Yoda's sabre can be interpreted as evidence that the quality of the sabre ddoesn't depend on the year it was built. Many, including me, believe that Yoda doesn't have much need of a sabre, being one of the oldest and most experienced Jedi master's in the galaxy. It's more of a symbol, like a marshal's badge, if you forgive the likeness, although he's probably very well trained to use it. If you've played the computer-game Jedi Knight, you've probably been forced to respect the abilities of Gorc and Pic. Pic, being of the same race as Yoda, has quite a few advantages over normal-sized humanoids, his reflexes being the greatest. I hope I have helped thee in thou quest to find clarity in the most thrilling and confusing world that is SW. I will now hop into bed as it is twelve o'clock in my continent, so adios and may some force be with you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
