Something interesting I could kinda tell from star wars movies I've seen in the past (this isn't related to samurai though) is that a lot of the earlier models they used for the blasters were at least somewhat based of weapons used in world War 2 (I mightve heard something they used actual parts for the models in the first movie). Like for example, han solo's blaster the "DL-44" I think is based off of what is I called something like a "Mauser c96" pistol just as 1 example. Just thought I'd add that as some interesting star wars info.
9:19 It's funny, Vader's original backbling is one of my favourites in the entire game. I love having a backbling that is effecftively a little companion that moves on it's own and doesn't look weird sitting on top of hair and capes and such. To each their own I guess.
It’s not a lightsaber it’s a sith war blade if you notice it’s made of metal with sith writing on the sides of it and it doesn’t have a kyber crystal thats why the sith writing is there to help imbue the darkside into his blade
The Closest Pickaxe That Looks Like The Lightsaber To Me Is The Light Blade From The Mecha Strike Commander Crew Pack, It Even Has A Cool Pull Out Animation
@@Crixcav nah Fortnite made it exclusive for a bit after it's return but reverted that because people were outraged since they said it wasn't exclusive.
@@Crixcavyesterday Epic tweeted that you couldn’t anymore because they wanted the style to be exclusive, but today they changed their mind because of all of the backlash and complaints
Merry Christmas Tabor! Also I’m glad I finally have a way to talk to you in game it’s been weird having to comment some stuff on videos and now I can just tell you
Tabor, thanks for bringing attention to the issue regarding the Matte Black edit style for Master Chief. They’ve gone back on their statement and have now issued the edit style to people playing a match on Xbox. I just received mine after purchasing the skin yesterday. Thanks!
@@VaczyNationidk, maybe he’s struggling with something at his home. It could also be the excited type of nervous, I’ve had that before when something I can’t wait for is near. It makes it hard to sleep because of anticipation. So maybe he really meant that he was anxious, not nervous.
@thetitostream That’s true, I didn’t think about that… Maybe the animation is like the one with the holographic blade (a butterfly knife I think) if you don’t have the actual pickaxe
Merry Christmas Tabor. Really nice that you continued with Fortnite even after how much it changed over time. S1, if you started at that time your a real og man. Cool video by the way!
Personally being a casual Star Wars fan... not having the katana be a type of lightsaber breaks the deal for me. Not worth the money if it's just a regular katana. I'm happy with my ninja katana Batman for now.
I use silverhands katana in replacement of vaders, because it looks a lot more like a lightsaber with the red glow and is also still a katana with the same swing animation. It also has a cool red splash effect.
Fortunately, Johnny Silverhands Katana looks FANTASTIC with Vader Samurai. I’m just shocked that He’s the one that got a Glowing red Katana (which isn’t really even that iconic in the franchise) when Samurai Vader was released just 24 hours later.
I was super hyped for Vader's pickaxe, it's okay, but not at all what I expected. And I agree with you that they should have a style without Vader's cape.
the og darth vader pickaxe is a good pickaxe... for the stormtrooper, and i think the red on the stormtrooper's wrap i think is meant to be heat buildup
i was expecting more and for 3,6k vbuck is way to pricey. Samurai Vader with no cape would've made it worth it but nah and the Smurai stroomtroper is just meh. Basically both OG and true version of both characters are better than the samurai version. I'll keep my vbuck for Kratos when he returns.
@@iconicduo7048 I'm sure he will there's no doubt anymore.Espcially after Chief cameback and Arcane is coming back also. Old spidey skins cameback after years so sony is aware
@@waitwho3074 true but idk I hope he returns I played when he came out but chose to get master chief instead of him( and tbh I still prefer master chief) I just think if they where gonna rerelease him it would of been chapter 5 season 2
@@iconicduo7048 Hahah I did the same (I had the OG black matte style from a series x before they made it that you can unlock it via cloud) but ironically enough I did regret my choice and I wanted Kratos after I learned he also had a secret style and I had at that time a PS5 also... So I refunded Chief after 29 days, and I waited for Kratos to comeback but he never did. Then Halo also never cameback so yea in the end it was a mistake and I should've just gotten both since the begining.... Anyway if Kratos is never coming back sure I'll be disapointed but at least I have Chief back so I'm like watever at this point and Batman bundle is also coming back so I'll be set.
@@waitwho3074 yh pretty much did the same bought chief and got the matte black off my dad's Xbox cause I had a ps5, I never regretted getting master chief cause I love the skin but it would be nice if he came back cause I'd prob buy it
There’s a double cape on the battle pass Vader as well. It’s like a bath robe. Great review. 10/10 on both skins. Loving this traditional Japanese samurai season and skins to boot!🎉
I’ve actually used the Light Blade from the Collision set from Chapter 3 Season 3 to be a lightsaber because I feel like it’s as close to what we can get to a lightsaber pick axe.
i think it would be cool if they made a skin like Maya Skin where you can make it either a sith lord or a jedi with multiple different customizable clothing options
These are amazing skins! I already of Og Darth Vader but the new skins are very cool! I kind of wish the pickaxe would glow, but either way, GOOD. Also with the stormtrooper's wrap, it like the progress on how many bullets you shoot, making the reactivity. I could see every time you shot with the pump, it would add a line. So that's cool!
Hello, Tabor Hill. May i suggest a couple of pickaxes for Mr. Vader? One, which is used in this video by the other Vader, is the Omni Sword (C3 S2). 2nd is the Light Blade (C3 S3). 3rd is the Muramasa Blade (Zero War Set C3 S3). These 3 have significant red themes to them and would compliment this skin greatly.
I hope we get more samurai star wars skins in the future I like this art style and can imagine some skins like boba fett, mandalorian, luke skywalker, obiwan, kylo ren, darth maul, sith trooper
*NOTE* for those who are buying this skin: Sometimes during combat, the capes can block your view. Otherwise if your also a huge star wars fan then this skin is worth it
I find it weird that this version of vader doesn't have a breathing sound effect when doing the imperial march emote like the og one. I feel like they should put it on this and future versions of darth vader
It’s a shame we never got lightsaber pickaxes, I hope we get a Star Wars battle pass with a customizable Jedi/sith and customizable lightsaber
They’ve used so many characters I don’t know man😔
Oh my gosh yes
@@rager-ol8ghthey got more to use
a great way to introduce this is with cal kestis
@@ryanfares263 well yeah they got a lot more but they’ve done the ones everyone knows like not everyone know who Darth raven is
Fun fact:
The original design for Darth Vader was inspired by samurai armor so this comes full circle
everything star wars is.
all of Starwars is just samurais in space
Fun fact I’ve seen this exact comment under every review of these new skins I’ve watched

Johnny Silverhand’s Katana is the move with Darth Vader skin.
Ya Johnny wepon looks more like a lightsaber then darth....lol
The doomslayer sword is more powerful
@@cggc5871 But looks nothing like a lightsaber.
For 400 vbux less you can get the Cyberpunk pack..Way better.
@@RicochetForce it's better

I fully agree! The Rocket Raccoon back bling is my all-time favourite.
One good thing about the skin is that the people who missed out on the battle pass version can now use this Darth Vader as an alternative.
I do not care about me missing the battle pass. I have a Samurai Vader figure and a shirt with him on it. That’s where my joy comes from
I love this bundle, so this is the closest we’ve gotten to a lightsaber pickaxe. The Cyberpunk pickaxe is also a very good selection.
Doomslayer sword is a big boy Lightsaber fit for an emperor
The Mech (The Seven) skin has a light saber type sword
Not really
@@keironharveythat’s what I’m saying, anytime I used a star wars skin I used the lightsword pickaxe from the seven mech
Darth Vader's armor is double samurai armor now on this skin. The reason why is because Darth Vader's armor is based on Samurai armor
*the circle is now complete*
Everybody knows that
@sandvich.. apparently not by some complaining that Darth vader and samurai should never mix
I definitely prefer the katana pickaxe over the battlepass sigil pickaxe for sure.
I actually like using that BP pickaxe for a sweat combo
That's just cringe@@dr.cocacola
@@ZhaloSupercell1how?
@@dr.cocacolame personally I’d use it for the stormtrooper skins but now that NPCs use default items I might just stick to that to be more believable
At least the hilt for Vader’s Sword is actually his saber hilt
And I think his sword guard/tsuba is the empire logo
Yo dudes, The Empire is pretty chill! maybe you could, like, join it or something.
It’s not a lightsaber it’s a sith war blade if you notice it’s made of metal with sith writing on the sides of it and it doesn’t have a kyber crystal thats why the sith writing is there to help imbue the darkside into his blade
that’s hard
okay lil bro
The cyberpunk sword still looks better with Vader than Vaders own sword.

The imperial march emote dont do that iconic breathing sound unfortunately
Good! Should’ve got the OG skin
@@YOUNGJBRlol stop being an immature gatekeeper
@@DarthSpecky how ? It’s a battle pass skin/emote I payed for it and grinded for it.
@@YOUNGJBRokay and? don't see people with spiderman or deadpool gloat about it
@YOUNGJBR actually the emote was free you could level up to get it but you didn't need the pass
Its very fitting because the darth vader look and storm trooper look was inspired by japanese samurai
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for all you do. Continued prayed for your daughter’s health. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
6:14 I use the darkest red style for Siths
4:07 its literally darth vader 😮 did you know his armor actually is based off of samurai? So this is a little backwards for him but it WORKS!
Another glider that works well is Magneto's steps, since he can use the force for a similar effect
0:00 already a banger
We gotta get a petition about the katana not glowing
Bro i cant sleep to nervous for chrismas and i saw this and i was like.. you know what ill stay up a bit longer
Why are you nervous for Christmas?
@@VaczyNationidk, maybe he’s struggling with something at his home. It could also be the excited type of nervous, I’ve had that before when something I can’t wait for is near. It makes it hard to sleep because of anticipation. So maybe he really meant that he was anxious, not nervous.
Also, it’s Christmas now, so merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
@@CapturedHoldenfr
@CapturedHolden it's a excited type of nervous I get nervous about thinking what I got and what I didn't get p.s. I have ADHD
I wonder if it was a mistake and the pickaxe is intended to light up????
It most likely just ad effect to make it look Like light saber
10:13 You cannot buy the skin without the pickaxe, so it’s impossible for you not to have it at least in the locker 🤷♂️
U can get the emote without the skin though
@thetitostream That’s true, I didn’t think about that… Maybe the animation is like the one with the holographic blade (a butterfly knife I think) if you don’t have the actual pickaxe
It’s funny how Darth Vader was inspired by a samurai and now here we are full on Samurai Vader.
Why can’t you buy the pickaxe separately? I already have og vader I don’t want another one i just want the pickaxe that’s unfortunate
Probably because the back bling goes with it, but I don't know.
Finnaly my two favorite things combined: Star Wars and Samurais
Merry Christmas, Tabor!! Hope you and your family are doing well!
W venompool-22 for helping out with the showcase.
I like the pickaxe that he got in the battle pass, sure it could have been better but I like the simplicity of it
Empire spoon for Vader to eat from lol
I swear I was going insane thinking I was the only ok with the simple pickaxe in the set
Merry Christmas Tabor. Really nice that you continued with Fortnite even after how much it changed over time. S1, if you started at that time your a real og man. Cool video by the way!

thanks for all your content tabor, really appreciate it man
happy holidays from Honduras!
Hey tabor quick question does vaders emote work the same way for the samurai Vader too with the breathing 😊🎄
Samurai Vader is basically Noob Saibot...
Mortal kombat skins soon😁
Merry Christmas Tabor and to your family as well, prayers will continue you're way Brother!
Might as well stick with the omni swords that's the closest well get to a lightsaber pickaxe
Is the Omni pickaxe the one his friend had in this video?
@@Rowdog007Yes
@@sinisterknows thought I had Omni. But nope lol. Dang it
Years ago in a fortnite club they gave us a mecha bear with a lightsaber, thats what I use with Vader
You mean Fortnite crew?

the og darth vader pickaxe is a good pickaxe... for the stormtrooper, and i think the red on the stormtrooper's wrap i think is meant to be heat buildup
Its even better for the awr trooper, that shiny black matches perfectly
@@lI_Speedor_Il basically any imperial trooper, and the clones too

Yo, another fire video. I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas. Thanks for these fabulous videos.
Love the vids tabor

If you use the new silverhands katana from part of the night city denizens set, that looks much more a katana lightsaber!
Am sad that the storm trooper doesn’t have a red style or something
Thanks tabour merry Christmas to you too
Merry Christmas everyone❤️🎄
They should add a dark saber and a dark saber pickaxe in the next star wars update
Maybe try using the johnny silverhand pickaxe for darth vader samurai
Merry Christmas tabor and merry Christmas everyone ❤️
Light saber pickaxe will be the most popular pickaxe of All time forever lol
you should make a fashion show map or add a fashion show section to your current map
How do you move the camera around so freely?
Darth with Johnny Silverhand's katana is perfect
The sword from cyberpunk looks like a lightsaber
Merry Christmas in seven minutes!!!

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas
*NOTE* for those who are buying this skin:
Sometimes during combat, the capes can block your view. Otherwise if your also a huge star wars fan then this skin is worth it

Hey tabor, it seems fortnite has re added the ability to unlock the matte black style for master chief, incase you wanted to make a video on it.
7:35 The lightsaber katana glows slightly but doesn’t emit any light
been waiting for this video
