The Ultimate Guide to Lightsabers eBook

[Halliwax]

Have I mentioned how much I love this new look!!

Great work as always Seth! Never a disappointment!

One addition I forgot-- Darth Maul's Solo saber.. not sure where, but it'll make it in.

Aside from a few typos, and oddly horizontally-flopped headshot photos of Luke on the overview pages for the Graflex and the ROTJ sabers, this new edition is very slick! No better reference source exists, and we are all in your debt!

Still proofing

I actually did it!

Here, semi-officially. You have a week to suggest any changes (sorry, the black stays) before I give it to Roy!

I don't know why, but the white on black text seems good to me now. BUT the blueprint style pages do not look good inverted like that. Very hard to read on the blueprints with that font, and the lines just don't look clean on the sabers themselves.

Also not a big fan of the cover tbh. I think the appeal of lightsabers is that they're all about COLOR and there is none on the cover. The cover should stand out.

Not a fan of the obstructed view of the lightsabers at the beginning of each section (like the one that says The Skywalker Lightsaber, page 6 I think). I think that should be like a beauty shot with a full unobstructed view of the lightsaber.

Sorry I'm nitpicky Great book though!

Also what about if instead of black and red, it was black and (color of lightsaber in that chapter)? Like black and blue for ep4 Luke and obiwan

Blueprints-- getting new versions from Roy soon.
White cover-- I like the cleanliness and blueprint style, so it's stying.

I like the idea of color coded sections, but there's too few lightsaber colors, and sections that don't pertain to lightsaber colors, so that conciet wouldn't work all the way and would make my OCD all triggered.

Hmm, purple, orange, yellow? They're sort of canon.

Two rivets or one?

Rivets or screws?

Two rivets or one?

I just wondered about that myself!

This books looking damn sexy now days ;-)

 

[BlueSaber]

Page 62 Anakin references page 68 ranch saber.. but 68 is yoda’s lightsaber. Change to 74?

Just noticed the bent Shared Stunt in the death star has the same emitter and socket as the Endor shot we got from the Archives book. More crude form of the Yuma socket.

Halliwax and I talked about that-- it confuses me greatly.

Small problem with the "white" text on the white background @ blueprints page (Page Number)
