So I Think I Figured Something Out.

so I think I figured something out.

I'm hopefully getting ahsoka's Galaxy's edge lightsabers soon and in all the reviews I've seen people always point out how the shoto is the wrong color, because it's green instead of the yellow-green that we see in the clone wars

this one

however, if Disney wanted to have this color, they would, because the shoto even has a different tone of sound font, it doesn't match the main saber exactly. every time Disney has released an animated padawan ahsoka, both her sabers are green

a bit of digging with find you with the story that when they were deciding on ahsoka's shoto George Lucas wanted green and Dave wanted yellow, they settled on yellow-green (which I'm not really a fan of). i find it funny that its here when Disney wants to follow what George wanted tbh

but in conclusion, Disney did it on purpose, and personally I like when lightsabers match eachother

got em! (and two blades)

so my thoughts so far, it being the next day

first thoughts:

out of the box, the shoto wouldn't display color on the blade at all, but it did have sound, luckily I did bring fresh batteries to the park and switched them out, that fixed it just fine.

hilts:

they're absolutely gorgeous, very accurate, a little big for my hands, definitely made for grown man hands which I find ironic lol, hopefully it's just because of the electronics inside (ignoring the fact that other brands have them in a slimmer style)

i can still spin them a bit, I love the way they sound, it's not too loud which is perfect for my taste. The ignition and swinging sounds are satisfying but the smooth swing kinda just decides when it wants to work

blades:

I got the 34 inch blade and the 24 inch blade and 34 inch is ridiculously long for me, I had no clue it was that big, and the 24 was perfect for my size

the 34 inch blade started to malfunction, sometimes the color just stops displaying but the shorter one works perfectly, I'm in love

the scrolling effect is smooth enough for me but I'm more used to baselit sabers so take it with a grain of salt

I'm gonna try to get a replacement blade so I'll update on that for sure but so farrrr

final thoughts:

sabers: 8/10, a little chunky, a little easy to scratch, the smooth swings is way off.

blades: 5/10 you can see the led placement inside the blade and the larger one just stopped working and was way too long for a main blade.

i would recommend, id just get two shoto sized blades (even though it's not accurate, it's just better that way) and I want to have it clear

they're beautiful, I adore them 💙💚

okay I was totally gonna wait for all the episodes of the acolyte to release for me to say anything about the show because I wanted to let it have its time before I judged but I just wanna say

I absolutely loved jecki in 'night'!! her jar'kai was literally the smoothest and most satisfying version of the fighting style I've seen in live action and I'm really happy with the whole episode period.

I think I might draw her soon tbh

couldn't agree more, it's everyone just tearing into it because it's Disney starwars but this show just needs to have its own time to breathe so we can enjoy it

One of the things I've realized is most of the reviewers of The Acolyte are...incredibly childish.

I've seen people complain about not understanding why Qimir's armor was shorting out the lightsabers.

They tell you about it in the next episode.

People complained about Sol not realizing it's Mae...and they explain why...in the next episode.

Take a minute...breathe...and maybe shut the hell up before you start tearing into an unfinished story.

Don’t think about Jecki’s first mission away from the Jedi Temple happening when she’s 18. Don’t think about how the Order was once able to keep their children protected until they grew into adults and were ready to leave. Don’t think about Ahsoka being deployed to an active war zone at age 14. Don’t think about all of the child soldiers that never got to spend their childhood at the Jedi Temple, safe and loved as they should have been.

little ahsoka doodle I did 💙💙
