It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Rocket-propelled lightsabers, perhaps?

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
Well, then, if we're going by awesomeness...
Paint them red (Cuz red makes them go fastah), Make them shoot even more missiles, add a hundred rockets, make it a nuclear weapon, shoot it out of the most powerful cannon in the world, make them make that high-pitched noise, and emblazon them with Kamina's glasses.

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
You know that we're now one step closer to real lightsabers, and that they're available for a reasonable price tag, right?

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
My brother and I once played around with imaginary lightsaber gloves. It seemed okay, then I managed to wound him, so he grabbed his wound, which is an efficient amputation.
It would be an entertaining boxing match.

Made of Spiral Energy, shooting rabid robot ninja zombie pikachus with katanas shaped like a sorcerer Abraham Lincoln that takes off his hat to show him nesting a mexican orphan with a jetpack riding a velociraptor throwing shurikens that sing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" while at the same time exploding into a million tiny demon hamsters.
That are reciting the Illiad.
While shooting ramen cannons.
On pogostcks.
In a volcano.
Made of beer.

Made of acid cheese.

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
......you know what I find hilarious about the internet? I can suggest something perfectly reasonable, possibly innovative and sensible in comparison to lightsabers.....
and a page later, we end up with this nonsense. Its like....
Anti-Science. instead of progressing forward towards more refined efficient ideas we go backwards into chaos as people impulsively parody awesomeness to the point of staleness and antiquity.

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
I was so disappointed to find out it was just a laser. Like, so very disappointed. For a moment there, a very brief moment, I thought we were soon to have lightsabers, like in those Starwars movies with which I fell in love.*
As for the topic of lightsaber variants and not the Internet being silly, I don't know enough about tonfa fighting to say Ms. Brood's lightsabers are not a good, but I am pretty sure it is so, and am pretty sure she'd be a lot better off with a pair of regular lightsabers. That reminds me, shouldn't Jedi duel-wield? Why don't they? Too expensive?
Also, why no light-knives? Lightsabers do negate many of the benefits of knives (small and concealable), but come on, lightwhips. We're clearly not being practical at this point, so why not knives? At least they have some realistic application. Here's my idea: a lightflail. It would be downright silly, but come on: A lightflail.
*The Starwars movies I am referring to are, of course, of the awesome trilogy: The prequel trilogy. The original movies were very good movies in their own right, but they failed to enchant me the way these prequels did. Someone had to like them, right?

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
Didn't the Gungans already use something that was effectively Lightsaber shields in Episode 1?

Re: Stupid Lightsaber Variants
The only truly sensible lightsabre I've seen is the variant in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie:
Spoiler
It makes toast!
Lightsabres aren't about being sensible, however.
(The most combat-useful would probably be the old lightsabre clone in the Ulysses animated series that did double-duty as a blaster).
