Everyone who thinks this is dumb, it’s a crossguard.

Whoever this Sith lord is he looked at the last few decades of lightsaber combat and saw Anakin/Vader, General Grievous, Count Dooku and Luke Skywalker all have arms cut off and went “fuck that, none of that for me”. 

This is a smart lightsaber.

Except its not… the physical cross section of the hilt makes the crossguard absolutely useless, imagine a real sword where the crossguard is attached with plastic ans you’ll see why people dont like this light saber

Mandalorian steel and cortosis fibres are rare, expensive, and resistant to lightsaber attacks. If the physical part of the crossguard is made from those it’s fine. There’ve even been physical weapons shown in the films themselves that could parry lightsaber attacks. So yeah no.

Vonduun crab shells are lightsaber resistant too, but they can’t attach that to a lightsaber.

Also, the lightsaber resistance capabilities of mandalorian iron were created during the forging process, a little known process that only master mandalore blacksmiths would know. Considering Jedi/sith BUILD THEIR OWN LIGHTSABERS, I doubt this particular sith would have the capabilities to do both, let alone fuse it with the lightsaber hilt.

I remain unconvinced.

Bardan Jusik was a Mandalorian ex-Jedi and Venku Skirata was the son of a Mandalorian and a Jedi. So it’s not that far fetched.
