They probably do as energy based guard at the base. Otherwise it would be too easy to run a light sabre down the length and destroy the device or the hand.

fencing is generally one handed, most of the lightsaber battles in the riginal trilogy were closer to kendo, two handed. dookoo did use a more "fencing" style, and maul brought in chinese marital arts(wushu and shaolin are both part of Ray parks background), so basically it was the flash of the style used. in…

The thing is, the lightsaber is an omnidirectional weapon. That makes it unique, since the blade has no "edge"— every single inch of the beam is deadly, no matter what angle you get hit from by it.

As we see from the examples above, lightsaber fighting is very frenetic, involves a lot of spinning, and takes place rather high up on the body (the combatants spend most of the fight with their arms moving around their heads).

Most people think of the rapier when fencing, and that weapon was designed to pierce vitals and go through armor. This means it is light but inappropriate for slashing which is most of the lightsaber repertoire.

a fencing foil is a thrusting weapon, its basically a giant flexible needle. while a lightsaber on the other hand is giant weightless rigid blade of energy. it can either be a slicing weapon, a thrusting weapon, or a means of defense. also a lightsaber can be any size or length the user wants it to be.

Which...I dunno, kind of makes it all look a bit silly, no? Call me a fake space combat purist, but the ballet moves of the prequel trilogy seemed as fake and boring as the rest of the flicks; overly-choreographed and using spins to make up for a lack of gravitas (or acting ability).

I mistook the title as "in Video Games" and imagined someone driving a truck full of stolen video games to Gamestop and getting a measly $316 in store credit for it.

whatever it is, It's still FRIED CHICKEN and should not be considered a healthy food option to be eaten on a regular basis.

Jeeze, people were concerned that their McNuggets were made from goop?

Tumblr.

everyone became a hipster, a model, or a hipster model.

That 10 minutes earlier were the good men.

Being Japanese helps. It's crazy how much they can eat. I was once at this all you can eat place in Osaka where you have a deep fat fryer in the middle of the table. You just pick up skewers of meat, vegetables, what have you from the buffet and then batter, bread, and fry right there. There were three of us, fairly…

Are you saying games can't try to be realistic, or they're just gonna look aged? Because I'm sorry but, you're wrong.

I think just because people decry the PC wording doesn't mean that the grievances aren't there. It's not really about invoking it via wording, other than to expect that everything revolves around some 'tranquil' state of non-offensiveness as some zero ground. That's just an insane illusion that political correctness…

All I'm saying is that there's real grievances to be had with society and individuals invoking political correctness like it means anything. The way it's invoked is too one sided and often does a fine job of glossing over context. Because it's un-PC, suddenly the dialog needs to simply end. And that kind of attitude…

Definition and wikipedia entries don't do the ways these terminologies are twisted and abused though. That's where the distinction gets really hazy. It's not even like I 100% disagree with you either. If anything, I at least half agree.

I think you're going off too many tangents there. I'm not saying flippant attitudes are good. You're just forcing that to the PC element. And it's wrong to say PC attitudes hold no power and is only a pejorative. Political correctness rules the ENTIRE political discourse (hence political correctness in how that…
