Topic: Darksaber


In the News (Thu 17 Dec 09)

  
  Darksaber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Darksaber was a fictional weapon from the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
The Darksaber was designed based on the concept of Jedi lightsabers, hence the name "Darksaber" was a bit of a pun.
When a New Republic task force arrived, the Darksaber was chased into Hoth 's asteroid belt where the ore to construct it was being mined.

 Interview with KJA
I had planned Darksaber as a sort of bridge between COTJ and The Hand of Thrawn (which had gone in a completely different direction), and I worked to resolve many of the issues that would have to be put in place to set up for Tim Zahn's book.
Those chapters in Darksaber were meant to be reminiscent of one of my favorite SF movies, Aliens, in the relentless attack-attack-attack of the monsters, while our heroes are trapped with ever-diminishing options.
Darksaber, where the Hutts get hold of the plans, is a metaphor for nuclear proliferation in our society.

 Amazon.ca: Books: Star Wars: Darksaber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Darksaber, written by Kevin J. Anderson (The Jedi Academy Trilogy), is the middle book in a loose trilogy which chronicles the eventful yet destined-to-fail romance between Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Knight Callista.
Of the three, Darksaber is the best one, combining references to the Classic Trilogy films while continuing various storylines that take place in the Expanded Universe.
Although these were all laudable aspects of "Darksaber," they just weren't good enough or written well enough to save the rest of the novel from a state of ludicriously bad writing.

Renegade Imperial Admiral Daala is back, and she is more determined than ever to unite the fractious Warlords and remnants of the Empire in an all-out stab at the New Republic.
As with COPL, Darksaber sits smack dab in the middle of the timeline, in too prominent a position to totally ignore.
But as with Courtship, you are advised to flit quickly through Darksaber, pick up some salient plot points, and move on post-haste to the next book in the continuum, Planet of Twilight.

The Darksaber was a capital ship designed by the most talented engineers the Empire had to offer, overseen by a man who knew the weaknesses of superweapons by inspired by possibly the greatest military leaders of the last 5000 years.
It was fortunate that Leia Organa had already completed her training in the time it took for the Darksaber to be constructed, but the loss of a powerful servant of the Light Side was a great blow to the galaxy.
When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, the Darksaber became a major target, as it was one of the few weapons the Empire had to throw against the alien invaders and their strange biotechnology.

Some things were stupid, as in how the Darksaber was destroyed, because the author was not smart enough to think of a better way to destroy it (I'm not gonna tell how it was destroyed, read the book).
This series (Children of the Jedi, Darksaber, Planet of Twilight) isn't neccecary to the overall story, though Luke does spend the next few years pineing over this woman so if you want to know who she is, I would recommend you read it.
Darksaber starts off with another evil Hutt glamoring for power, this time using the aid of Lemelisk, the creator of the Death Star's laser.

I have long felt that Pellaeon seemed somewhat out of characterization in Darksaber, because of his agreeing to the preemptive and unprovoked assault on Yavin 4.
Possibly he felt that the slaughter would be necessary in order to prevent future attacks on his forces by the nascent Jedi.
Darksaber, Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force, heck even the IG-88 story he wrote for Tales of the Bounty Hunters had the Death Star tied in (IG-88 transfers himself into the Death Star...what the heck?) Seriously, this book is not worth it.

Id say the darksaber was a perfect example of deus ex machina style plot contrivance, but it was even more redundant then that by this point.
The way that the Darksaber was destroyed was just..um, I'm trying to be as polite as possible here...

 Jedi Knight Files - Darksaber Duel Info
Darksaber - well although I have no idea where this name comes from, it doesn't mean I can't enjoy the map right?
It's a duel, and as you'd expect a duel map, its very small, but its got plently of height for jumping and it feels larger than it actually is. The lighting is greeny but focused, and the sources all seem logical, as well as the whole map being mostly patches.
very sweet duel map, and the name darksaber comes from the EU book "The Darksaber", it is basically the Death star with only the laser, so it looks like a lightsaber.

Tormented and haunted, Luke cannot rest until Callista is a Jedi in the fullest sense, for only then will the link between their minds and souls be restored.
Yet brewing on Tatooine is news that will shake Luke and Han and threaten everything they value.The disturbing piece of information is that the evil Hutts, criminal warlords of the galaxy, are building a secret superweapon: a reconstruction of the original Death Star, to be named Darksaber.
This is probably the most accessible of the Star Wars hardcovers; fans of the movies should experience nostalgic delight, but it often comes off as more of a marketing device than a novel proper, especially with George Lucas's three-part prequel to the Star Wars movies now in the works.

posted 15 September 2003 07:52 PM The Darksaber is a Hutt built superlaser platform, not a person.
yeah the darksaber is basically a stripped down version of the death star with just the superlaser, so its a big cylinder like a lightsaber, but dark colored, so hence the name.
We all need some therapy, because somebody came along and said 'liberal' means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense, and we're gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to.

 Darksaber vs Children of the Jedi
Both are early entries in the EU canon and feature Luke Skywalker on personal quests to communicate with spirits of dead jedi in order to stop the Imperial Remnant from reclaiming a foothold in the Galaxy.
Both have great ideas in them, although Darksaber was slightly better, in my opinion.
After the two Death Stars and the aforementioned weopon in The Jedi Academy trilogy, the Darksaber was such an overused cliche.

The Hutts' leader is Durga, a slug like creature with a "sloping birth marked face"(p.216) and a voice that is a "thunderous bellow"(p.216), these two forces plan to join together and destroy the rebel alliance.
All the characters that survived the Star Wars Trilogy are also in Darksaber but they have changed.
Another thing is that this book didn't do was to make the book apart from the trilogy the plot was almost exactly the same especially at the and he could have changed it a bit more so it would not be so predictable.

However, I suppose one problem would be that reading 'Darksaber' might encourage you to read 'Children of the Jedi' and 'Planet of Twilight' (the other two Callista books, written by Barbara Hambly), as it did me, but you'll only be disappointed by them.
