Yea but like
its the same thing with the lightsaber
it made Darth Vader unique
now he's just like every other boring Sith Lord.

The lightsaber didn't make him unique.

Edited by THA rofltard: 1/29/2015 12:37:41 AMBefore the prequels he was the only dude with a red lightsaber. In Return of the Jedi the Emperor specifically refers to the lights bare as a Jedi weapon [i]if I am remembering that correctly[/i]

Ohhh I never thought of it like that.

yea its implied in the original films that the Sith are evil mages (like Sauron or Saruman) the reason Vader has a lightsaber is because he used to be a Jedi (and is more adept with a sword than space magic I suppose) this whole idea was -blam!-ed up, of course, by the prequels and, to some extent, the expanded universe

Ironically, the simplicity made Vader stand out as a former Jedi more than anything. Sith as a whole tend to gravitate towards flashier designs. Maul- Saberstaff Dooku- Curved-hilt saber Sidious- Electrum-plated saber Darth Souls- Cruciform saber. Etc.
