Haha don't worry about it. I appreciate all the help. I kind of like the scythe one though...That sounds pretty cool actually. What about a scythe with a blacde at each end? Or if we go with the mix of staff and saber could I give it a unique form or would it just be a blade at the end of the staff?

As for the age thing, I finally looked up the whole initiate thing and what not so now all I need to know is how many years after the war it is and I can finally set the age and also he will probably have failed the initiate trials and use the scythe I mentioned, unless it's not that long after the war and she would be a padawan, I have to look up Mirialan age stuff first as well but that's my next thing I'm about to work on.

@Ciphra

There is a saber with a longer handle that she could have been training with as a child, the familiarity of the previous style could bleed over to the wan-shen use. But I really think you need to start edging back from lightsaber focus as the wookiee would not be able to continue her training past what she was taught.

I like the scythe blade idea, downside I see are practicalities of the double weapon:



You don't notice it with a saber-staff because it is just the handle with weightless blades. But with a real weapon of that size, a lot of what you are working with is momentum, a one sided weapon has a point of weight to swing down and bring around to bear where a double weapon has you pulling and pushing at the same time, neutralizing a lot of the energy you are trying to generate for the swings.

@knighthawk Hmmm...I'm definitely going away from the saber so don't worry about that part, though I'm still thinking about the double sided scythe, as mentioned in the video at the end with the pole arm (Believe that's what it is) it adds a bit of variety and it's got a few more tricks up its sleeve, plus with using the force to enhance the weapon and ones self the challenges should be easier to over come, or at least I believe that would be the case. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong about any of this.

Oh also, if there are any other weapons that might be better for a double sided similar to the pole arm that you might suggest I'm all ears! Perhaps a trident? Or lance? I dunno suggestions are welcome, though the trident sounds kinda fun haha.

this is a posibility. It s a double sided hooked blade, like a kopesh, on either side.

And this is just to damn funny:

While that sounds cool, not sure I'd be any good with something like that honestly.

That is by far the best thing I've seen all week
