This is a compilation of clips that use the darksaber throughout Star Wars . I think I may have missed some in rebels but that show has a whole season about the darksaber so it was hard to find the clips
Something which I find so mesmerising in Star Wars is the movement of lightsabers, but there is something about the way the darksaber moves which is so unique
It's two things. First, the blade shape has defined edges and a defined flat, as opposed to lightsabers which are literally all edge. And secondly, the light is concentrated at the edge, rather than at the center, making the shapes of its movement even more noticeable than a standard saber.
@@gwynmarigold9141yeah it kinda looks like a katana and the others kinda look like fencing swords. And cuz it literally looks like space clashing against other sabers!
If you watch closely in the animated scenes it also has a tracer effect to it, the blade sort of drags on the space behind as it swings a little bit more than the regular ones, also I think the girl saying it was heavier than she expected means it may be slightly heavier than a normal lightsaber would be. if I could master any saber in any style I would probably try more of a realistic kitana sword style with the Darksaber because of its unique shape.
@@Nerdzilla1954 Well yeah, he’s not force sensitive. Even though Maul agreed not to use the force during their duel, Maul still automatically had an unfair advantage. I commend Pre Viszla for doing as well as he did during that duel, especially against someone as dangerous as Maul.
From the day it was first revealed, to the last episode of the Book of Boba Fett, the Darksaber has become one of the most iconic weapons of Star Wars. Even nicknamed The 'Danksaber'. It's fairly interesting how a simple 'Cool weapon used by the villain to match the hero' has become such a fascinating phenomenon. Thanks for compiling the various scenes it was featured in!
Now I just wish someone would look at the crystal study it see why it’s black and make an actual black lightsaber or Star Wars 10 has them use snokes ring lol
Pre Visla has no honor as a warrior. He uses his jet pack, blasters, flame thrower, and explosives against an unamored opponent with a sword. Sure, he got beaten in the end, but he had no honor. Maul had honor. He could’ve force choked Visla and killed him easily, but he didn’t. That is a true warrior.
That's kinda the point. The flaws and hypocrisy that are the ways of Deathwatch and ancient Mandalorian culture. The fact that Pre was so determined to keep the Darksaber and its status, that he used illegitimate tactics to try and maximize his chances, rather than just face the duel for the challenge itself as a display of strength and skill. So much so that Deathwatch is determined to use whatever tricks they have to get it back. Remember, Rau, (even not being tied to Deathwatch) tries to teach Sabine how to best her enermy using tricks like that, and Kanan puts her in her place, noting that those tricks don't work, and that it's because of their overdependence on those cheap gadgets that could have cost them the war. Sabine learns without them; therefore, Sabine is one of the only to wield the Darksaber honorably. Even Paz Viszla used advantages like shields and cheap shots against Mando in their challenge, and ultimately loses anyway. The recurring theme is that Mandalorians that use tricks like that, will always lose, because it was a slimy tactic mindset that tainted Mandalorians, tainted what the Darksaber represented, and cursed House Vizsla. A curse they brought to themselves JUST because they wanted so badly to win the Darksaber back, by any means necessary.
Its MANDALORIAN duel they have rights to use their eq against opponents. Maul is just outsider he is not mandalorian thats why he couldnt use force, everyone watched this fight. Maul fought there to lead mandalorians he needed an army. Pre vizsla could reject the duel then he could be named as a man without honor. Look at the duel against din and moff. Din used his gadget from brace too. Remember one thing there is no rule which tell that the duel must be done by ligtsaber vs lightsaber. Its duel between man who has darksaber against other mandalorian.
He has some honor. I don't see why you shouldn't use weapons that you trained with and mastered. As well, he accepted Maul's challenge and when he was defeated he accepted his loss.
@@Ultima_Prime you know that's what I thought initially. It had to be a proper 1v1 sword fight, but Vizla uses pretty much every tool in his Arsenal against Maul, so would it have been cheating for Maul to just snap his neck with the force? Obviously that wasn't the point of the fight, but think about it.
I kind of wish Sabine still held the dark saber. She said in Rebels that she wasn't the right person to lead Mandalore but I do see her as the perfect person to own the dark saber.
@@pavloszimbrakos4410 I think it's because Grogu's heart simply wasn't in the training, so rather than force him to continue, Luke gave Grogu a choice.
@@jakeleeson648 Some explanations say they only appear cylindrical because of the light or sum, when in reality they're shaped just liked the darksaber
The darksaber was wrongfully stolen it wasn’t kept in the temple as some trophy it was to honor the mandalorian Jedi for his bravery and countless sacrifices
To be fair, it's possible the Mandalorian tradition treats weapons as belonging to the collective, while the Jedi believe that the weapon belongs to the individual. We know that weapons are a part of the Mandalorian religion and creed.
to add to what Andrew said, it isn't even about collective vs individual. It's two separate groups. Two collectives. The Jedi keep it because it was a lightsaber made by a Jedi, and because they place themselves above other groups in importance. Was he a Jedi who happened to be a Mandalorian, or a Mandalorian who was trained as a Jedi? Either group would answer differently.
Honestly, if the Clan asked the Jedi for the weapon, they would have most likely given it to them. The Vizla Clan only dishonored the legacy of the saber by making like petty thieves and stealing a weapon held by a righteous man
Best guess is that Tarre Vizsla, introduced Lightsaber Form I. (Shii-Cho), and Form II. (Makashi) to Mandalorian culture during his lifetime. It's most likely watered down seen then..........
Pretty cool you can see his ancestor in the “Decieved” Old Republic cinematic the day the darksaber is stolen during the sacking of the Jedi temple. You don’t actually see his ancestor take the saber but that’s when it happens
When viszla fought obi wan, he was enraged, making the blade heavier. When he fought maul, he was in control of his emotions, making the darksaber light as a feather during the duel, besides the last second where viszla loses his cool, and loses the darksaber.
Wait. Wouldn't Pre Visla be not the sword's owner? Challenged to a duel and got disarmed, forced to order his soldiers to attack the other opponent. I bet it doesn't work like the elder wand from Harry Potter but if other see you fail as a leader you're no longer the leader.
@@fellino8049 I wish he did he’s an actual Jedi and it’s still a lightsaber use it like a lightsaber for once please ezra barely used it and darth maul used it once bogus lol
I take my comment back. The fight with Maul is not boycoted by any other mandalorian or death watch member while Pre uses every means he can to win. So to win is to just win, no matter the means.
If you examine Arthurian mythology it actually bears more resemblance to an unnamed cursed blade in the myth of “Sir Balin” or “The Knight of two swords”. Supposedly it could only be used by the best and most noble knight, but in Balin’s hands ended up causing numerous deaths, and later passed into the hands of other knights (Lancelot for one) and was used in killing quite a few other characters. Just like how the Darksaber supposedly denoted the strongest Mandolorian, but ultimately just became a tool of murder and caused multiple unnecessary battles to claim it.
What are you talking about?! Dude he's fighting against space wizards who have super-human athletic abilities, while he on the other has none. The simple fact that he hung with Obi Wan and Maul for even a little while was extremely impressive.
Once when I was in primary school, I created a Mandalorian OC that had a double-bladed Darksaber. Now I feel like I have dishonoured the legacy of both the Darksaber and the Mandalorians by thinking there could be more than one.
@@PacifyKy I’ve always felt as if you need to call it out which I think you should cause like with mando he won it but didn’t wanna rule mandalore same goes with palpatine
Wait a minute obi-wan technically beat Pre-Vizla. So that means he was the owner of the darksaber and ruler of mandalore. But sense he flee it look like it didn’t count 😂
Mando needs some lightsaber training with Ahsoka or Luke if they make another appearance in Mandalorian season 3. He needs more practice with the blade like Sabine Wren did.
You missed one scene in The Mandalorian's second season. There's a moment when Moff Gideon taunts the captured Grogu with the Darksaber. It only lasts a few seconds, so I'm not surprised you missed it.
Someone did a video explaining how to darksaber is possibly the strongest lightsaber in star wars because of its unique construction and a mix of a Kyber Crystal and Krayt Dragon Pearl.
Am I the only one who’s getting a little tired of mandalorians just using it as a special sword to unite mandalore instead of a Jedi or sith using it like a legit lightsaber the same way as a normal one lol
@@TheChordstruckPony it’s not just the video I’ve watched the shows and know why but I’m saying can we stop all that stuff for a little and get a Jedi to use it lol
No shit right? I'm scrolling down and i see a number of comments saying that Pre was sucky or even cowardly cuz he utilized his jet-pack flame-thrower, and blasters! It's like - dude...he was taking on super-human space wizards for fuck's sake! The fact that he hung with Obi, Maul, and Ahsoka for a little while in it of itself was/is ridiculously impressive.

its because the darksaber has more flow when it moves

yeah well Bo-Katan got that already
4 throats slit in 2 seconds. Ahsoka said hold her beer
looked more like she decapitated them
