There's a couple questions I've been asking myself since I've started on this forum and try as I might, I can't find the following topic anywhere...
If someone walked out of the Star Wars universe right now and offered you any ONE lightsaber, a real lightsaber, which one would it be?
And...What would you use it for?
Wait! Think about it, it's not as easy to answer honestly as one might think. I'm pretty sure none of us would go hacking people in half (hopefully), so what would you actually use it for?
Feel free to answer any one or both of these. Some of you have to be a little curious...right?
For me it's a no brainer. ORIGINAL LUKE ANH BLUE BOY! No question. It's my favorite saber of all time and always will be.
I'd use it to redecorate the cars of people who park in two spaces like the nerf herder at lunch today... ;-)
-
hmmm... tough choice. either Luke's RotJ or Starkiller's TFU 1. those have always been my favorites.
but for using it? wouldn't. would have it locked in a display case and only turn it on for friends (and when i'm messing with it alone of course ;)). unless of course Darth shows up in which case i'd have to do some epic battling. lol
-
I would use it to cut down trees, cut metal, etc. It would be an awesome putting tool, especially if you could fine the the blade into a keen light beam.
Hilt wise?
Kit Fisto.
-
I'd use it to cut my pizza...
-
I'd probably go with the Maul. That way, I could cut it in half and have 1 fully workable lightsaber, and I'd reverse engineer the other and make my own hilt for the innards ;)
-
Obi tpm. It just feels like a lightsaber to me. If you layed 10 sabers on the table and that was one of them, that would be the one i'd bet would actually work. Luke rotj is a close second

I consider the Wat Obi TPM a real lightsaber 8) so I already have a real saber :D
I'd go with either Count Dooku's or Starkiller's TFU 1 saber :)
I agree with The_Night. Locked in a display case for only showing off and occasionally swinging around.
-
I would definitely go with the Obiwan ANH. Elegant.
I would keep the saber and do shows (demos) and travel the world. I think I would pay to see a real lightsaber in person...
Respectfully,
Sanjuro
-
I'd absolutely pay to even see one!
I don't know if I'd show it to anyone...and stick around.
You'd end up in some government black bag somewhere without your saber cause they confiscated it.
Another possible use though...I heard during Sandy some guy used his Prius to get some power to his house. Wonder how many jiggawatts something like the Maul puts out? I'm sure it's in a book somewhere...
-
Luke ANH, no question. First one I saw and loved. Then Obi ANH, then Luke ROTJ.
I'd use it for cutting holes in walls, cutting people out of collapsed buildings, plasma bladed jaws of life... you name it. Its an all purpose rescue tool/defensive weapon.
But a real one would be so scary to wield... one slip and the consequences are dire.
-
I think mine would be a Luke ROTJ, dirty V2 style...
...and what would I do with it? First thing I'd tweak it so it was like a 'youngling saber' for the forseeable time being and couldn't actually do any real damage. And then practice and play a lot; ironic, I s'pose: that, given a real lightsaber, I'd be excited and terrified of potential damage and injury and the first thing I'd do would be to make it more like one of our 'toy' replicas and less like the real thing :D
-
lol its wierd a real one would be incredibly dangerous so id probly want it made safe
the obi tpm or graflex for me
-
It would be bad if I had one. Because I would actually go around playing Sith lol No but I would keep it on my side all the time, especially at night. Yes it would definitely be a great around the house or out in the woods cutting tool. Definitely would take it with me camping. But I think after I had my fun/ pretend time with it, I would store it away in a nice display case. DOOKU or LUKE ROTJ
Oh, and I would definitely make a video and post it here on the forums and laugh as you all squirmed!!!! Lol ABSOLUTE POWA!!
-
i'd go for a starkiller tfu I... :)
i would swing it around and enjoy the swing sounds :D can a real lightsaber handle different fonts? ::) i also would go to a junk yard and cut a lot of big things ;D cutting pizza is nice aswell (you don't even have to clean the blade and wash the dishes :D ) i guess there are a lot more things i would do... ;D
but display? noooo, a lightsaber is just to useful to not use it! ;)
great thread btw ;)
-
Definitely a Luke ROTJ V2. It screams LIGHTSABER from far away...
I'd use it as a self defense weapon, so it means that I would carry it with me everywhere, outside and inside home.
-
Wow okay so to start i would want The Ahsoka Tano design. It just feels right when i am holding it. I love the look of so many sabers but when holding them, That's the one I feel the connection with.
Wow as far as what i would do with it. Sorry but profit and power wins out over cool one of a kind toy. I would get some crazy smart nerds and geeks and we would reverse engineer it. Learning all we can about it i would start a new company Called "Force Enterprises" Where we would bring new and exciting products to the world. New forms of energy. New technological advances in both weapons and defense. New and exciting science for a brave new world. With my company at the forefront. With money lots and lots and lots and lots of money i would start to control this nation. I would save the best and most powerful advancements for the right moment to make my move. In time i would bring order out of the rune the politicians and world governments have left us in. My new world republic would then reach for the heavens. Moving off this world and into the stars. All because of one small amazing little gift.

Nick if you managed to mass market the light saber I would start up an artificial limbs business as I could see a real need in the market :P
I would go for Yoda's hilt as it is nice and compact
I am sure there are a multitude of handyman tasks it would be good for so it would become part of my tool kit lol

I want the one Jedi Master Ven Zallow dropped when he took Malgus's blade to the tum-tum.
I would carry it on my belt and use it for all kinds of cutting, melting and slashing. I would definitely reverse engineer it to made my own sabers and eventually use them for fighting anyone who got in my way, namely you jedi out there who also have them or anyone dumb enough to try and rob me.
Plus, they would make a very convenient lighter for candles & such.
-
can I have 2 real lightsabers? LOL ;D
For me, it would be the Graflex ESB and the OBI TPM 8)
Hmmm... after cutting some things in half I would offer the power cell to any global player in the industry and get rich ;)
-
Qui gon, simple and elegant. Concealed carry inside my jacket new Jedi order style. No idea what I might actually do with it though.
-
I'm with Veldryne. The Qui Gon saber in my opinion is the coolest one.
Not to mention that green is sweet.
As for what I would do with it... definitely make a holster and carry it around everywhere with me for a while.
Maybe start a tree business.... cut down some small trees. (carefully)
After some of that, perhaps sell it to Lucas or Disney for no less than 1 Billion dollars.
Yeah... I do think either they or someone else would pay a billion. After all... it would be a great technological achievement... almost magic. I think it's worth a billion. Then, I could really do some good for everyone I know and quit working and do whatever I wanted. Maybe help poor people in the community or something good with most of the money. I only really 'need' 100 million :o 8)
-
I'll always love Luke's ROTJ saber - simple, classic, and functional. Plus i can never forget the first time i saw that brilliant green blade as a kid. Jaw-dropping.
As far as what i would do with it...? I suspect i would do exactly what i do with any other extremely sharp object ... although preparing dinner would be a million times more awesome!
Also perfect for home defense while sidestepping the gun issue entirely :P
-
Luke's ROTJ saber, hands down! (Or hands off, more like)
What I'd do with it? Hmmh..Fight crime! 😂
-
lukes a new hope . cause that was the first time I seen a lightsaber.
-
Master Qu Rahn's hilt (the one he gifted to Kyle in DFIIJK.) Use? No idea. Fight the Sith 🙄
-
For defense only
