Why Anakin’s Second Lightsaber made the Council VERY Worried - Star Wars Explained

Ah yes, a girthy lightsaber, ribbed for the council's displeasure!

-Jedi council thrusts anakin to the frontline of a war as a general. -anakin adapts for battle -council: 😮

Jedi council: makes the order focused on politics, and therefore war. Also jedi council: It’s making me upset you are updating your weapon to survive the wars we put you in.

Seems the Council will look for any excuse to not like Anakin

Anakin Skywalker: takes a deep breath The Jedi High Council: 'We're beginning to fear that the chosen one might have developed an unhealthy attachment to breathing'

In the Old Republic, it was said that the Jedi were more individualistic. Their connections to the force was also specific to them as individuals. That could have also applied to the design of their lightsabers too. Anakin constructed a saber that was right for him. It suited both his battle style and personal preferences.

The Council are like your in laws: nothing you do is ever good enough

Mad Respect to Anakin for constructing a purely functional lightsaber. I would've done the same.

The youngling slayer 3000

Imagine how powerful and strong in the light, Anakin Skywalker would be, had the council recieved him warmly, and helped him work through his traumas. Everytime another video comes out, the more i hate the Jedi haha

The purpose of a weapon is combat. Designing one to perfectly reflect it's purpose is a fairly logical thing to do. The Jedi were the weird ones for trying to turn a weapon into a symbol of peace.

If Dooku says your blade skills suck, you shouldnt feel offended. Its an indication that you have room to improve.

Jedi: makes child a soldier and sends him to war Child: makes his laser sword more effective at war and protecting himself from it Jedi: absolute blasphemy!

It honestly makes sense to have a weapon that reflects the way you are going to use it, like Dooku (and his actor), I am a trained fencer with a rapier. I also do competitive LED Saber combat with TSL. My hilt for that purpose is designed to be used like I use a rapier. A slightly smaller diameter and hilt length that allows me to fight better with a single hand. If I remember my Jedi Lore correctly, the ancient Jedi were of the same notion that Anakin was in designing a lightsaber that was meant for the battlefield and specifically dueling against another lightsaber wielder. Anakin was going back to earlier Jedi roots when the galaxy was more violent that The Council would as soon forget.

Anakin: "I built a lightsaber and didn't add any extra crap because we're at war right now, and I need one fast. Also, my arm got cut off, so it's bigger to fit my prosthetic better. I'm the chosen one and will probably have to fight Count Dooku again. Winning that fight would be beneficial to literally EVERYONE on our side, so I made adjustments to help me do that." Council: upset jedi noises and continued disapproval

the lightsaber Anakin used in his first duel with Dooku wasn’t even his own (neither was Obi Wan’s). It was a spare that another jedi threw to him therefore didnt fully fit his combat style.

For all the atrocities Vader committed with that saber during Order 66 before losing it to Obi-Wan, you'd think it'd be imbued with the dark side and corrupt anyone who uses it. I wonder if there are any references to Obi-Wan purifying it before giving it to Luke.

So he went from a fencing foil to a two handed broad sword

It Is Rather Tragic:: Anakin (and his saber) was 'exactly what was needed' to combat Dooku and the Sith ... ... yet it was those very things that destroyed the Jedi Order!

They worried because they knew I was better than them. They held me back. Yoda, Obi-wan, Master Windu...they feared and underestimated my power. They paid the price!
