Where have I been?

You might be asking yourself, "wait, Indy Lightsaber Academy has a blog?"

In a long time ago galaxy that's somewhat far away (almost 2 years ago for those counting), I made a post. This post was about how to pick out a lightsaber. You could say it was a blog. Michael Tucker might have called it inane ramblings that should have been edited.

Shortly after I hit post on that article, a series of unfortunate events occurred and I was left without means to create more beautiful symphonies. Many people were happy. And things that were probably better lost in the 4th page of google results, were forgotten. Until one day....

But now in our third year of being, our organization has a lot of things going on. I'm not going to list them in this post, but trust me it's a lot. My goal is to publish 1-2 posts a week about various topics and events. Some will have pictures, some won't, and others might even include a video.

If there is anything you ever want covered please comment below with your ideas. Or least remind me that I said I'd post at least once a week.

Anyway it's good to be back.

May the force of bees help you

All ideas, jokes, lame attempts at ongoing puns, educational content and everything else associated with this blog are purely at the discretion of me.

Let it also be known that I am not good at writing disclaimers. In fact if you're still reading this, I bet you'll read the next sentence. And now I have you. I can write anything and you can't stop yourself. You probably thought you could after the last sentence. But here you are. I'm not sorry. You could literally stop reading at any point. But you chose to keep on trying to see when this is going to stop. Even at this point you can probably see there are more words after this. I haven't written them yet, but you can bet they'll be there. After a while you hardly think about what you're typing. If you've never looked it up, google giraffe fighting. There was one that I swear was neck and neck. That didn't start as a joke, but I tried to make it one. I'm sorry. Michael will probably have me take this down.

History of the Yellow Lightsaber

Try and guess what all these things have in common? The sun. School buses. Rain coats. Older headlights. If you guessed "things that are yellow", you'd be correct. But what if I told you that one more thing could be added to the list. That would be "The first lightsaber". I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Doug, lightsabers are blue, red and green" and that's how it's always been. Then you might go into the story about how Samuel L. Jackson ended up with his purple saber. Some of you might even say something about Temple Guards. But generally when you think about lightsabers those are the colors that come to mind. While all that might be true, the yellow saber has much deeper roots in the Star Wars universe. Or perhaps I should say the "Star Wars merchandise-iverse".  Toy Lightsabers In today's lightsaber filled world, it might be hard to imagine a time before laser s

7 Forms of Lightsaber Combat

7 Forms of Lightsaber Combat - Part 1 History of Lightsaber Martial Arts This post is probably a long time coming. But today I'm going to briefly cover what the 7 Forms of lightsaber combat are and how they're mostly ridiculous. In part 2, I'll go over what our Forms look like. Although (and I'll probably mention this several times) our forms may or may not align with existing canon. Or basically, yes we have 7 forms. But they might not be what you're expecting. Good luck with your training Speaking of canon. The 7 Forms that we all know and love have only been canon since 2002 (shortly before Episode II). And even then a lot of their mentions have been expunged when Disney bought out the franchise (even the current descriptions have been altered or reduced). It's also important to note that there are very few direct references to the Forms other than visual guides and the like. And NONE of the movies prior to AotC directly integrated or even a

5 Worst Lightsaber Designs

“This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.” Horse crap. Lightsabers were first made from camera flash tubes, sink knobs, and grenade parts. These features were then extrapolated and exploited in Star Wars for the next 30 years. During that time we've seen a LOT of different sabers. And almost none of them are practical. This can be attributed to "greebles". What are they? Greeble : a fine detailing added to the surface of a larger object that makes it appear more complex, and therefor e  more visually interesting. It usually gives the audience an impression of increased scale. It's something that serves no purpose whatsoever. So it would only make sense that lightsabers would have a whole bunch of them. But the thing is, we've now come to expect this from lightsabers. In a fictional universe fine. However more and more people are actually starting to hold something they&#
