8)Hey guys!!
Well I got my yoda fx-aotc lightsaber yesterday and I must say It blew me away!!Yes I could not believe that a smaller saber could pack such a punch!!Anyway here it goes!!
(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi117.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo41%2FDaJoQuim%2FDSCF0839.jpg&hash=d76d9228f56c9b0a46ea5a41e9e07d74ab3234c3)
First of all I really like the top of the hilt because I think this is close to scale to me!!

second of all I really like the on/off switch on this saber!!I find that it is kind of hard to turn off unless you want it off!!

Third I like the way this saber lights up even when the lights are on!!
(https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi117.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo41%2FDaJoQuim%2FDSCF0843.jpg&hash=86f37ccb147fea58304ccb7be4e358e7a157449b)
But when the lights are dim oh man it's brite!!

The word on this saber is buy it!!It's worth it!!I really love this little saber lol!!This saber will be in my collection for a long time to come!!I know now by the feeling of the power in this saber that yoda indeed was small but powerful!!May the force be with you all my friends!! ;)
-
you mean yoda ROTS :o :D
-
congrats on the saber, Dajoquim! Next up, Luke ANH right? ;) :D
-
Ah, yes. The original saber.
Anyone who gets it and has a Graflex, tell me how the two compare ;)
and thats a Yoda build Graflex 8)
-
Master Dajoquim, my old friend.....indeed your new saber is powerful. congratz!!
-
Thanks guys for the kind words and yes I will have the best year ever with my next two sabers the luke anh and the luke esb graflix saber from master yoda!!OMG this is going to be my dream year lol!!

-
Great review! After I get my ANH set then I will be picking up the Yoda for sure. I would love to see the Yoda next to a standard Luke ROTJ.

are you refferring to the blades robiwon?
-
I belive he is Agen. And if so, I have heard that the Yoda blade outshines the Luke by far.
-
well does the yoda lightsaber have the same amount of Led's as a standard sized lightsaber? if so....the shorter blade would be brighter.....
-
Great review Master Dajoquim!
I'm now sold on a Yoda! Must...Have...This...Saber!
How is the balance on the Yoda saber? Is it tip heavy or even? I'm actually thinking of TWO for Dual-wielding purposes ;D

Actually my young padawan, Dual wielding is meant for the attacking saber to be regular sized, and the off hand saber (blocking) to be smaller. So HA! 8)
-
Actually, Young Acampa ;D, dual wielding can be of very MANY styles, ONE of which is one saber being standard length, the other being a shorter length.
There have been jedi of the past to dual wield, one being a standard length saber, the other being a Light Whip, for example.
So in his reference to dual wielding, he is correct. Dual wielding merely means the use of both hands on two different weapons. :D
Now, come to the Dark Side young Acampa and see the TRUE power of the Force. ;)
-
Here's an example of a Jedi in the upcoming Force Unleashed that dual wields Tonfa style sabers.

"I pledge my self to your teachings, My...Master"
I always thought the main use of Jar Kai was one regular sized saber and a smaller off hand saber.
Oh well.
If we are going to do SW quotes, then i might as well share this one. Being a GIANT Anakin/Vader Fanatic (Which anakin was a Jarkai user)....I will share this quote by Vader to you all. It is my favorite quote, and shows the True meaning to be a dark Lord. As Vader Was defensless against the Jarkai form(He was battling maul and cut his saber into 2) , maul Cut into Vaders helmet Leaving him defenseless. As mauls overconvidence ONCE AGAIN leads to his death, He asks Vader "What Could you hate enough to destroy me?" before delivering the final blow. Vader then Stabs through his own body, and into mauls. As maul is falling to the floor vader says "Myself"
HOW AWESOME IS THAT
(PS. I bet you have heard of that before, Lord Vader.)
WOW i am soooo off topic
-
Actually, it's quite funny. The other night at our d20 Gaming Session, I brought up that exact quote to a friend of mine as he was looking at my Vader shrine I began to rebuild starting a year ago. :)
-
"What could you hate enough to destroy me?"
"Myself"
:D
back on topic
Dajo- "Serve your collection well, that saber will" ;D

Great review Master Dajoquim!
I'm now sold on a Yoda! Must...Have...This...Saber!

So certain are you?
What about Asajj Ventress? General Grevious? Anakin Skywalker?
The smaller length saber you're referring to is called a shoto.
-
The Yoda is an excellent saber. I find that it is perfect for my 4 year old son. It is actually HIS. The color is just plain AMAZING. I am even shocked that I can see it in plain sun light while outside. Simple amazing.
When I use it, I don't really enjoy the grip, because I find that the little knobby between the emitter and the shroud sits wrong in my hand. Maybe if I were to modify it slightly...who knows. But I got it for Damien, not me. LOL...
I DO look at the positives however and to what the Yoda will eventually lead to:
1) Sidous style saber since we have smaller electronics
2) Dooku saber, hopefully off of Master Yoda's designs, due in part to new electronics
3) New adapter sizes being made by ULTRA, TCSS, and others so we may convert our sabers to 3/4" blades, giving a lighter and more realistic feel to the saber.
I especially will keep a watchful eye to adapt my Maul Staff Saber to two 3/4" blades. How fast would I be able to whip that thing around then!
mwuahahaha!
It's is a great saber Dajoquim.
-
First of all the blade must have as many led lights as the other sabers because holy crap it's brite!!As for the weight it almost weighs nothing to me.It does not seem to have much in counter weight.as for the saber itself I was impressed!! ;) ;)
-
Umm...Acampa? Anakin and Vader were masters at Shien (form 5), not Jar'kai...just wanted to clarify that.
The Yoda looks awesome btw.
-
When I asked about dual wielding, I was actually thinking more along the lines of a Florentine style. The Yoda saber seems a bit long for this though, but I'd be willing to compensate a little to accomodate this.
I already do use a shoto from time to time. It's actually just a 28" Polycarb dueling tube that I put in my Luke ROTJ Lux conversion in my off hand. It is a bit off balance, but since the Luke hilt is lighter than my other hilts, it's not too bad.
-
Congrats my friend DaJoQuim! nice review, love the pics, and you seem to be knocking yourself up with all those sabers! ha? It's a nice and obliged addition to your awesome collection.

-
;)Yes I've got it running just now;and;I'll have pics saturday!!The clash does not work;but;I just left it off and the other sould works fine!! :P
-
:( That clash sensor was in working order when I sent it...Sorry to hear that... Did it break durin shipping or something? Oh dear...
If there's anything I can do to fix the situation, PM me. We'll work something out.
It may be because it's out of a ESB Vader... The clash sensors in those can be a bit stiff. It was NEW, so that is a possibility.
-
oh man...this is gonna be great ;D
-
8)hey darth morbius it's not your fault;it's mine only!!I just messed it up myself!!I'll take the blame myself!!If I ever needed parts;you'll be the place for me my friend!!I still have sound and a kick butt lux amber!!As time goes on I'll get better and better and your the person that I'll thank first for teaching me how and what to look for!!I'll never will forget that!! ;D
-
All is well then? Okay I just wanted to make sure! If you need another clash sensor. I can look around. might be able to help ya fix the one you have as well...
Anyway, congrats on the yoda!
-
;)I've got pica and all to share;but;for some reason this forum won't let me do nothing!!I don't know what's going on?I'll try again sunday!!
-
Yeah it's all across the boards...:(
-
It won't let you post you an image link from photobucket?
-
the stupid server needs to let us post pics >:(
-
Nope, all I get is a server error screen when I try to post pics, might be able to link it though. I hadn't tried that.
It won't even let me change my sig...
-
Congrats on the Yoda Master Dajo! I went to Chiller Theater yesterday in hopes of finding a Yoda fx but the vendor was sold out. :( Which is just as well, because he was selling them for the same price as the Saber Vault and I'd rather give JD the business instead. :)
-

-
Very nice review friend. What I'm puzzled about this saber is the weight balance? What do you think about it?
-
;)Well to tell you the truth it's as light as it gets.To me it's as light as a feather;but;It rocks as for the sound and the green leds. :o ;D
-
