I also gotta wonder how using a different crystal could've possibly influenced maneuverability. On topic, though, this resource is shaping up fantastically. Hearty thanks to Nausicaa and all who have contributed so far.

I highlighted that it was curved in the second version of the picture with arrows in post #32418 below. Thanks again and here's a few more, Hope they help, For Tyeth

Yeah, apparently the maneuverability thing is a holdover from the Attack of the Clones Visual Dictionary. It makes little sense that if a blade is better at cutting that it would be harder to, essentially, cut through the air.

Also: Found it:

It acquires mechanical advantage as it rotates from the user's grip.Like the slashing claw of a velociraptor. For Tyeth

For Tyeth

True, but the change in maneuverability came not from switching hilts, but switching crystals (at least according to the old canon).

For Tyeth OFFLINE Platinum Member Posts: 502 Like received: 86	Hi Borommakot, There is a difference between Jedi sourced crystals and Sith Crystals true, the Sith felt their crystals were superior, but in the technique of handling the saber will also have an impact on it's agility/power. If you don't grip the weapon correctly you cannot direct the effective force of the weapon properly. That was all I was pointing out. Thanks For Tyeth

Nausicaa OFFLINE Junior Member Posts: 33 Like received: 9	Added Jedi Dooku to the Blue. Even without the detailing, it can be assumed that it is his well-known curved hilt with a blue blade and a less smooth emitter. A small tweak which usually happens between films. Also, learning a lot about other sabers whilst doing this, such as the story of Ventress' hilts.

Look at the blue Saber has has in his top right hand (nearest to Kenobi) and it appears to be similar to Obi-Wan's Saber! Kind regards, For Tyeth
