astercrash:laureljupiter:jade-belle-2187:He kept his lightsaber. Damn, I understand this lightsaber is a metaphor for Ben’s mutilated soul and that the lack of basic safety features is a great character design detail of someone who doesn’t believe in what they’re doing and is trying to sabotage themselves at every opportunity but the shitty-electrical-mods subreddit style unhoused wire just stapled right on to the outside, kid what are you doing??? Its such amazing prop design, it’s such a metaphor for his character. Turn a light being like a person or a semi-sentient kyber crystal dark, but it can’t handle the trauma of the process so it cracks in half. Keep it in a state of torment enabled by destructively venting its extra energy. Spray paint yourself black. Do some decent welding work and then lose conviction and halfass the rest or make it a deliberate hazard. Need a last minute electrical fix after you’ve already reassembled the blade? Just throw it on there. Use a hot glue gun if you run out of cable cleats. I mean yes we also need this thing to be reconstructed as a personal metaphor, but I personally need Rey the lifelong Hack Everything engineer girl to be really really mad about this disaster object in IX in the way only an engineer can be. I can tell that this lightsaber is a piece of crap that’s about to spontaneously combust, but I know I don’t personally have the EE knowledge to be even a fraction as mad about it as I should be. jj, give it to me.Okay but looking at this thing I have absolutely no doubt that this is Han Solo’s kid. No one else can make some absolute disaster of a weapon into one of the most dangerous objects in the galaxy, only barely a greater hazard to the person in front of it than the person using it. -- source link
