Or a lightwhip. Just waiting for that abomination to surface somewhere in live action.
Not the highlight of the EU to be sure

Unfortunately they're canon thanks to the glorious High Republic and some video game sourcebook. Try to contain your excitement now lol.Not the highlight of the EU to be sure
I thought Lumiya's "lightwhip" was handled well. It's not literally a lightsaber in whip form. When you actually look at it, it's a pretty ******* scary scourge.
I’m about to reread Legacy of the Force. She was about the most okay I ever got with the light whip idea, but I can’t get over mental images of people just hurting themselves with it. They would be so implausible to handle, let alone pose such a challenge like the books say they do.
Those slavers in the clone wars had shock whips.
Right but if it’s a lightsaber whip then it would also melt though the ground or cut your own limbs off of you brush against it. There no way to have a weapon that is long enough to really challenge a lightsaber that wouldn’t also maim the owner.
Full Beskar armor and you can whip it good. The ground maybe not.
Just looked up where they've gone with lightwhips since I first knew about them. Not impressed. Lumiya's consisted of several plasma-waveguide wires combined with kyber-crystal-studded lightsaber-resistant strands to make a really nasty cat-o-nine-tails style weapon. More about inflicting pain and damage than straight-up killing or maiming. The later lightwhips used by the Nightsisters and in the High Republic stuff...? Enhhhhhh....... Not feelin' it.

I can imagine the amount of skill that would be necessary to wield one effectively without injuring oneself. I do agree that Lumiya's whip was better than the lightsaber variant with flexible plasma blades. They just don't seem practical and a bit silly IMO. Using a lightwhip as a method of torture is indeed a terrifying notion and I would imagine they would work well when fighting from a distance. But try using one in tight quarters with your opponent nearly on top of you or in narrow hallways with low ceilings effectively. Or against large groups of opponents without running out of energy. Not too practical.

Rupert Friend (aka Orlando Bloom's twin) is rumored to be the Grand Inquisitor. Which is a shame, because he was voiced by Jason Isaacs and I would have been down for that, but would be a younger version of him anyway.
Pretty sure Owen and beru have already been confirmed to be cast
I sure hope not.. another character back from the dead
