Thanks In advance

Alright, maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't that weapon design be completely pointless?
>> Luke Skywalker
No not really, Though it might not be my first choice it is based off of an actual weapon but unfortunately I've forgotten the name of it. You have an excellent range with it for horizontal slashing attacks and and using a "reverse grip" you upper torso is naturally guarded one of the things the image does not show is that while she is holding the vertical bar you can also switch grips and hold them on the horizontal surface

seems like a good way to cut yourself in half real quick. 0_o
>> Luke Skywalker
Well there is always that! But now that I think about it if you had to cut yourself in half is there a cooler way then with your very own lightsaber?

Those look like the traditional Korean martial arts/police night stick, but I've never seen a bladed version of it. Though that's probably because they'd be awkward to use in any way besides as a regular sword. It would take quite a bit of training just to get it moving properly, and then you still have to worry about anything else hitting them. The leverage of a something hitting one of those would just make it spin in your hand.

So, they'd probably show a little benefit over a sword with substantial training, but most of the time you'd have to use them as a regular sword.

You're thinking of the tonfa.
>> Anonymous
Is that some sort of Jedi Mind trick? *Waves hand* Your thinking of a Tonfa!

Correct. Tonfa usually are not bladed; blades fixed to the weapon defeat the flexibility of their use.

>>343098
The reason they are used as police batons because they can be held in a variety of grips for different purposes, as this namefag indicated. Holding the long end, for example, allows one to use the T-grip like a fork to catch an attacker's weapon, limb or neck. Or allows one to simply hammer the T-grip into a person's face, striking earlier than one would with the baton grip.

>>343100
They say that about Darth Maul's double-bladed saber too. Theoretically, tonfa lightsabers could be very effective, because lightsabers cut through just about anything with relative ease. All one has to do is keep spinning the handles to make huge uninterrupted cutting arcs around one's body.

>>343102
It seems ridiculous to exclude the use of more complicated weapons on the basis of extra training. Even amongst normal sabers alone, Dooku uses a cross between a French grip and a pistol grip (Gardere grip?): a pistol grip gives the advantage of stronger blade movements. It is not unlikely that individuals might seek out specific advantages of certain weapon designs.

Ah, not a Gardere grip. Technically a French grip because it lacks additional protrusions, but its curvature is great enough to match a pistol grip. Something that Zivkovic Modern Fencing would make if they dropped the palm supports from their handles.

And now, back to Star Wars.

To make it even better, make the tonfa part out of the metal that General Grievous' bodyguards staffs were made of, that could block Obi and Anakins lightsabers at the beginning of Ep 3.

That's the cover of the one-shot comic "Star Wars: Purge" where a band of Jedi who survived Order 66 decide to lay a trap and ambush Darth Vader (and naturally Vader comes out on top since he makes it all the way to ROTJ). Only the cover art was done by Adam Hughes but the art inside isn't too bad either.

Here's the official Dark Horse webpage with a few preview images on it:

It's a blaster. Typical Nubian design; chrome silver plating and elegantly rounded shapes, just like their starships.

Light-tonfa?

Dumbest weapon ever?

Mmm, some AT-AT turtlehead action

There are many possibilities... light-chaku for example. Sure, it'd look all fancy but one wrong catch then bam, you're fingerless, armless, and maybe even headless.

Nah, that would be light-chucks.
