Appologies for the fractured answer, I had a little computer trouble earlier, and could only now reply fully... There are no opposition, simply everyone seams to feel its useless. I don't consider a few responces to be 'everyone'. For everyone, the lightsaber is a prop. Do it like you want and make it the way you want, as long as the prop is OK for you, its great. There is a need for a lightsaber for the costume approval on TJA... there is also a need for boots, belt, etc. do we go and classify belts as being better or worse then the neighbor's one, and the boot being of lesser look. Actually, costumes are already catagorized as to if they're 100% screen accurate costumes, if they're recreations of existing movie costumes and even ones that are EU inspired, so I'm hardly suggesting something without precedent. More importantly though, I'm not suggesting that it become a necessity that someone make a saber to a certain standard before it is accepted, I was merely suggesting something that would be an aid to discussion of the sabers. Its pointless for most people to classify their saber. Really, my lightsaber is what it is: MY saber. Its made of hardware and found parts so it is a "hardware" saber. I made it look good, some don't bother. Their loss (or win since they like it) but I don't even see why people bother classifying what is only a hobby If you view this as 'only a hobby', then why go to the effort of making your saber look good? (I've already said on many occasions that it is a good saber, and that it deserves to be recognized by something other than 'hardware') As for classification, again, costumes are already classified, sabers are classified to a degree, I simply feel (and as Don Solo has pointed out) there is a huge scope for classification beyond 'hardware' and 'machined' and who would say what saber is better then the other on the final look... If it was to become something people's costumes were judged upon (which was not my intention) it would be decided by the moderators that review costume submissions. Someone could certainly apply and say which catagory they think their fitted in, but ultimately, the decision should be that of a moderator. Really, how would you evaluate a category, and who would say when the alterations are suffisent to "gain" the "superior" appelation? By having a defined set of guidelines and criteria for each catagory, and again, the moderators would make a final decision on classification. |

Right Olos I agree. Another catagory is a waste of time. a saber is a saber it's that simple "hardware" or othrerwise it is a must for a complete costume and that is all we need. I think this thread has gone far enough everyone has voiced an opinion and I think we need to cut this thread loose and let it die. we don't need another catagory. I think it's time that this thread end Last time I checked, you weren't a moderator. This was supposed to be an enlightening conversation, it was not a thread about extreme right-wing politics, racism, sexism or any other kind of hate-speech, so how dare you suggest that the thread be closed just because you don't want to discuss the topic any further. If you don't want to discuss it further, then don't discuss it any further, but don't keep posting that you and 'everyone else' thinks it's a waste of time, because it's just rude. I'm not going to lower myself to insulting you or my thoughts on your reluctance to discuss the topic, but I will say that for someone who is supposed to be training an apprentice, and holding themself to a 'higher standard' as a Jedi, you have a lousy attitude and my opinion of you has dropped beyond measure, and that is all I will now say on the subject. |

Discussing things like the topic of this thread is never a waste of time, it's enlightening on many levels, whether you agree with it or not.
