Thread: Black blades?

  1. #1

    Default Black blades?

    Has anyone ever thought of making a black blade like the unlockable one from the force unleashed. I was thinking about trying to put a black object of some kind into the blade to get the out white glow around the blade using a white LED. I know it wont look good in the light but i hope it will look good in the dark. It will be just for show. Ideas? Thoughts?

    It has been discussed ad nauseam before. Not possible, not practical, and would be a waste of time.

    If you're new, please take the time we all consider just as precious as you and READ!

    Dude, that was a game, not real life.

    Black is the absence of light.

    Get one of the Transparent Smoke polyc tubes and make a blade with it, use a white LED in your hilt and pretend you have a black blade.

    I honestly don't understand people's fascination with Black Bladed Lightsabers. As Loreen and many others have pointed out as well, black is the absence of light. It's simply not doable and frankly is a really lame concept. In all reality it's counter productive to building lightsabers.

    Maybe they just don't understand the physics of lightwaves.

    Eh. It's usually based on the odd concept that black is a "bad***" color. In my opinion, it's one of the dumbest concepts next to a "Grey" Jedi.

    Black blades are really not that appealing. The word that I would use to describe them is appalling! (that's "appealing" without the "e" get it )
    The best part about the lightsaber is that it is a LIGHTsaber not a darksaber.

    Black blades only work in the movies using CGI or in video games. Sure it can be done that way but why? I suppose it could be a CGI black tendril-like miasma or something but again, why?
