It's pretty clear it'll be related to Palpatine somehow, and since "dark side vision" would be too much of a cop out, I'd bet on some kind of possession. And yeah, her having been created as a vessel for Palpatine helps explain all the "omg, why she such a Mary Sue" complaints. |

I'd assume that it's similar to why irl swords had hilt guards - to stop people from chopping your hands off.
What do those side things on the light sabre actually do ?
I would have thought you are more in danger of cutting your own arm off than doing any serious damage to the enemy with them. -

Registered 9 years agoI remember seeing some video about how it doesn't make sense with a lightsabre to have them (presumably because the joint bits will still be vulnerable). But hey, it's a laser sword. -

Can we as a collective stop using the term Mary Sue please. -

Yeah, we have seen lightsaber hilts cut in 2 by other lightsabers, so having guards against having your fingers cut off will be no use if it just ends up cutting the big that makes the blade in half.

Registered 13 years agoJust nearly drove myself actually mental just trying to link this one gif at the top of the article with no success so just see below link. Why is noone making a bigger think of that wanky lightsaber? Makes the hilts seems magnificent. I dont even know why it does that.

It's just sad that a gimmicky new lightsabre is what they're going for. Isn't it enough that she's gone dark? -

@Psiloc I think in this case you kind of get the context. I googled tbe origins of it if that helps? -

@Psiloc Well, obviously if you don't know what something means you look it up. People aren't usually born with a complete vocabulary.
Sadly, it is of a language no one else understands

This. Everything that B8 does could have been done by R2D2, which would have been more satisfyingly circular IMO when you consider the original role of the droids. But then B8 toys galore.
