Mara Jade MOTS saber

[Joek3rr]

Something is off.

The page shows the straight hilt but the description says curved.

The Darth Bane trilogy described his lightsaber as having a curved hilt. But he was never (to my knowledge) illustrated like that. In fact his first illustration, from this book. Darth Bane/Legends
Shows him with the lightsaber in question.

EDIT - oops wrong link. Here's the correct one.

This is exciting because as far as I know, Roman has never rereleased his MOTS Mara hilt

You are right, the saber is nothing new. In fact i had a character book from 2002 and its there too.

Oh wow! I forgot it looked like that in that book!

By the way have you ever read the comic series Jedi vs Sith? It's a real crazy comic with Darth Bane.

Here's what his lightsaber should look like (per the books) when he has the Orbalisk armor (never liked that goofy mask though, this version looks like him):

I dont know where that curved saber came from. While the saber has been described as curved, it doesn't lay out all the details. Accodring to wookiepedia the first time it was pictured as being curved was in 2012 in "The essential readers companion" And well it resembles the same saber as before just curved.

I think it's inspired by Genesis Custom Sabers' design for Bane's curved hilt

Yes probably.

hmmm

It might be possible to make it both straight and curved by swapping the bottom piece for an elbow.

BTW, sorry for de-railing the Mara lightsaber thread

 

[guabe]

I made a new thread on this subject no to de-rail the Mara Jade hilt further.

Darth Bane Lightsaber

While posting about the Mara Jade MOTS saber I posted an image of the Darth Bane (top one) saber for size comparison It was a hint on what else is to come in the Legends line, but I made a mistake by saying that the Bane hilt was the newer version with no real investigation on my part. Then...

I am doing the inner workings and how everything connects. I am trying to hide screws as much as I can but its very difficult to achieve that while getting everything to line up correctly between sections. So this is how it looks at the moment.

I wanted the brass plate to be clean, so I placed all the screws from the inside. Also, space is limited as this hilt is super slim.

I hate that bottom screw. I hope i can figure out a way to hide or eliminate it.

 

[guabe]

Never mind problem solved. It will be dificult to screw in but it's possible.

I like it.
