[@elijennings9913]

Good advice.

[@zacharisincennes8026]

I think the double-bladed saber staff is the best lightsaber there is due to its unique versatility. You can use the staff with both blades at once to be twice as effective, you can start with one blade and activate the second mid-combat to surprise your enemy, or you can split the staff in two and duel weild a saber in each hand. You can even switch between all three mid-combat to surprise and confuse your enemy.

[@jerryudonneedtoknow3903]

Not all double bladed lightsabers can split

[@Iliadic]

@@jerryudonneedtoknow3903 True, but it's not uncommon for them to be able to. Cal Kestis for instance, constructed a splitsaber. It's powerful and even more dangerous than a dual-blade.

Isnt it amazing how times change? 20 years ago we would have been called nerds and potentially beaten up for this stuff. Now? Anyone who makes fun of this stuff doesnt have the gall to try it themselves. Practicing with a saber staff or any alternative takes a toll on the wrists but is actually quite a nice work out.

[@ultronius_studios7473]

in the words of obi wan: "dont try it"

[@Iliadic]

Because of the fact that lightsabers nowadays is basically an actual sword, it takes a lot more than just "whack block whack". Swords and weaponry in general are pretty good upper body workouts. Your lower body gets less of a workout but it's definitely still there with footwork.

0:17 **suddenly Duel of the Fates**

[@kylemiller5148]

I love the saberstaff for many reasons, the main one being how rare it is,seriously the only jedi I know that did use a saberstaff are Cal Kestis,Bastila Shan,Satele Shan,Revan and Exar Kun,only some of the most experienced and high level users of the saber can use a saberstaff to great effect,its hilt though is a large target and can be cut in half if the user is unlucky enough, Exar Kun however has rectified that weakness and made the hilt like that of a standard lightsaber so it'll be far more difficult if not impossible to cut

[@athenapromachos3027]

I’m a martial artist and pretty good with a staff, though mildly rusty from quarantine. The twirl is good, but you want your staff cutting lower or you’re leaving your ankles wide open. Severed Achilles’ tendons are not a fun time. Also, having your thumbs facing each other instead of forwards like in some of these is VERY limiting unless you really know what you’re doing.

[@athenapromachos3027]

That said, I recognize a lot of these. Awesome!

[@Trayheed]

[@bruhtastic4355]

I think with a double bladed lightsaber it's best to stay locked with your oponents blade and swipe up, that way they cannot block the second strike in the event a deflection doesn't knock them off balance.

[@TemenosL]

The one where you deflect with one part of the saber then swing the other part over to bop the opponent on the head is pretty martially unsound. You literally already have your blade over his and could just thrust to the body or face with the part you parried with. Exactly at 3:03 you can just thrust and defend with the same blade in the same motion.

[@watermelon996]

After playing fallen order, I feel like the creators used this video to choreograph the saberstaff moves

[@redpanda84]

Even by watching this i see Qui-Gon died just by giving up his saber as a real idiot. Obi-Wan's choreography was a lot better with awesome positions. The double saber is better for solo movements but uncomfortable for fighting, the time you get to execute those rotations gives your opponent time to put himself on defense. The swing looks faster to execute in a real fight

[@znightowlz6585]

Panda Rosso not really, you clearly don’t know much about martial arts. Dual bladed sabres are perfect in 1v2’s. As maul showed. As soon as you hit once you can immediately hit again with the second Sabre much faster than anyone can with one blade. Also Qui Gon didn’t just give up his Sabre. What are you on about. It was pushed away from the hilt and then immediately got hit in the face and stunned. If you think he just gave up Sabre then you REALLY don’t know much about martial arts. And you think a double bladed lightsaber isn’t comfortable then you either don’t know how to use one or have never heard of staffs which were highly used weapons in fight

[@redpanda84]

@@znightowlz6585 I think you like many other people are only able to say what you think ppl doesn't know but you lack a real position on everything i said, if you think Qui-Gon's fight was a great battle you really need to watch it again and again. The actor that plays Darth Maul is able to do better moves than the poor ones he did in the movie, where he spent the most of time just by jumping around. I saw many videos about double bladed saber duels and there's a big difference between a real battle and a solo demonstration, but it's definitely the hardest weapon to use for a real fight, this explains why despite its beauty it has been abandoned in the next movies. In martial arts there's no such weapon as a double bladed saber but you have the staff, where you can hold the full weapon without caring about lasers on the two sides.

[@znightowlz6585]

Panda Rosso oh my god you’re a dumbass. I actually did martial arts so I definitely know more than the dumbass who thinks staffs are uncomfortable. Your first sentence makes no fucking sense. “You lack a deal position on everything I said” also doesn’t make any sense and you come across as a hypocritical idiot with the Dunning Krueger effect. Firstly, the Qui Gon battle used actual martial arts being directed by 3 different martial artist. Maul even having a martial artist invent a new tested style for him to use in the film. So when you lie through your ass pretending you know about martial arts and can say the fight was bad you just come across as a joke. You honestly have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. “Where he spent most of the time just jumping around” he didn’t. Why don’t YOU go back and rewatch the movie bc you’re just making up shit that didn’t happen. He spends most of the movie blocking attacks. “And there’s a big difference between a solo battle and a demonstration” not like you’d know the difference given that you don’t know shit about combat. “But it’s definitely the hardest weapon to use” no it isn’t, again, just bc YOU don’t fucking understand how to use one doesn’t mean when people actually know how to use one they end up being extremely hard to beat in a fight. It’s why staffs are a STAPLE of martial arts. “I’ve seen many videos” oh suuuure you’ve seen videos! Ah, so much credibility! “This explains why despite its beauty it’s been abandoned in next movies” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️dumbass it wasn’t abandoned. You fucking idiot, there was a total of 3 villains in the next movies. Grevious, dooku and Palpatine. Unless you want all fucking 3 of them to have double bladed lightsabers then what the fuck do you expect? Not to mention the clone wars had multiple people with double bladed lightsaber. Maul was in it, savage oppress had one, even asaj ventress could turn her blades into a double lightsaber. Not to mention the fact that the inquisitors have double bladed lightsabers except their blades are one handed therefore more impractical. Even shadiversity thinks maul’s Sabre is a decent weapon. So sit down and stop acting like you have a fucking clue what you’re talking about because you don’t. “But you have a staff” have you ever even fucking used one? No I don’t think you have. You hold one the same way you hold maul’s Sabre. Not to mention the martial artist directing maul’s moves was using staff combat to design and it worked so well you could win fights in 2v1’s which he demonstrated against martial arts colleagues on set. Sit down, you sound stupid

[@dsalloopasd7151]

@@znightowlz6585 The double sided Inquisitor blades are one handed, they're one handed so the user doesn't accidentally chop off his left arm with the automatic spin that's in it. With the single sided Inquisitor blade it's much longer and able to be used as a staff, the double sided is really useful even though its one handed since you can clash and then use your parry to deflect their saber, allowing you to pull back the staff to thrust a blade into their gut, head, or singular knee.
