I Can't wait for the Blade of Olympus from the Old School God of War Games.

Please make the Monado from Xenoblade Chronicles.

[@usamazahid3882]

@@HoffMatt Sorry, but The Blade of Olympus comes first.

[@Orion-sk5ns]

Odin Makes I think to make it look a little better you could try and “score” the blade like you did with the edge of the blade to get a “lightning” effect on the blade like in the clone wars. Cause I feel like the blade is a little too clean

[@markoslara2050]

Can we just appreciate that god like transition into an add

[@AED10]

Damn right

[@rapterrip]

BIG FACTS i wasnt even mad

[@AustenHilton]

Linus’ transitions compared to Odin’s are like night and day lmao

[@mrcookedbacon324]

That transition was so smooth yet it cut through me quicker than any darksaber

[@MuchoMangoMan_]

Markos Lara holy shit yes

[@bobthirdwalling1901]

"And I get to use some foam on this build" made me laugh harder than it should have. :P

[@mickierat]

“Thank you to Force Awakens for making philips head screws canon” did the same for me.

[@michaelthecollector9854]

I hope since the Darksaber has now made appearances outside Clone Wars now, that we may be able to get an official prop toy at Galaxy's Edge or one to get online

[@dqscout]

Yeah I really hope they somehow make a blade that mimics the dark saber and needs a black kyber crystal to work

[@necron7436]

I think it would work best with Vantablack, and stronger LED lights.

[@michaelthecollector9854]

and a sound board of course :)

[@Sn0wSSBM]

Michael The cOLLECTOR 98 it was in a show recently

[@damianburton4106]

I want to make the hilt at my school but getting a professionally made one would be good too

[@captainzoink6992]

People: YOU CANT MAKE A DARKSABER BLADE Odin: hold my foam

[@EvelynTheVixen2016]

You could do it with a thin sturdy peice of cardboard, attach metal foil tape all over it, spray paint it black, and then add LED tape strips.

[@codeywings10]

Odin’s smile when he first turned on the sabre looked like pure nerd happiness.

[@czaetc.8743]

as soon as I saw it come out of the TIE fighter I was like "Nice, can't wait to watch Odin make that" so thank you :)

[@dosicmyth909]

That's not the first appearance.

[@undeadhaiena5462]

@@dosicmyth909 he didn't say it was its first appearance

[@undeadhaiena5462]

When I saw that I FREAKED out bc I never thought of a live-action DarkSaber

[@czaetc.8743]

@@undeadhaiena5462 I was hoping that they were going to introduce it, or at least tease it in the Obi Wan series (which I was positive Maul was going to show up in) but maybe he will show up in Mando season 2, if Djarin somehow gets his hands on it, either way, can't wait to see what they do with it.

[@squallstopher608]

@@czaetc.8743 Maul is long dead by the time of the Mandalorian... However, in Djarin's flashback to when the Mandalorians rescued him as a child, the Death Watch symbol can be seen on the shoulder pauldrons of the Mandos. Meaning that Djarin may be a member of Death Watch, and possibly the heir to the Darksaber...

[@otee1625]

Just theoretically: Paint it in something like Vantablack (no flashing reflection) Use a translucent difusor sheet so the individual LEDs don't show that much.

[@JuicedPotato]

Far as I know, Vantablack can be toxic if not used properly. Also it's copyrighted by Anish Kapoor. Next best thing would be Black 2.0. Nearly as dark, but works exactly like any other paint, can't be copyrighted, plus I believe it's cheaper too.

[@otee1625]

@@JuicedPotato "like" Vantablack. It's not even a paint, it's a touch sensitive coating that would never work for a prop. That's why I said "like" could have been more precise with "similar too" though.

[@isensmith]

@@JuicedPotato its' way way cheaper, plus you dont have to send money to that tit anish kapoor.

[@KenPurcell]

Thanks for coming to the Dallas Makerspace. Enjoyed having you.

The fact that he asked Luke to make the saber is an instant like.

Do you remember going to Center High School. When you gave a speech in the theater. I was the guy that told you how much time you had left😂😂

[@davidtucker3463]

We need to see what this looks like in a dark-ish room

[@danielbradfordharris]

Hi! I designed the 3D file on Thingiverse of the Darksaber y'all seemed to reference for your build, super cool to see it there and I hope it was helpful!

[@nintendude2297]

Thank you for not saying “from the Mandalorian” in the title.

[@itande0551]

Nintendude wait it appears on the mandalorian now I want to see the series more

[@pandogstudios1512]

Why?

[@Mr_Peem]

Itande 05 yea it appears for 10 seconds at the end of the season finale

[@Mr_Peem]

Pandog Studios cause it’s not from the Mandolorian

[@jackdiamond6203]

But it’s in the Mandalorian and it’s probably people’s first time seeing it that didn’t watch the clone wars series, so it would have been fine in my opinion

[@yourbigfatmother65]

The big octopus sword thing in the back is just the biggest flex ever

[@dylanfrancis2190]

Soul edge from Soul Calibur video game series. Also I agree things looks impressive af.
