An Elegant Weapon, For a More Civilized Age... Posted By Joshua on April 5, 2001
Lord Mauly Mall and BuffaloJedi observe in this Jedicouncil thread, where they talk about a possible Anakin/lightsaber spoiler. Here's the gist of what's going on and a few scans to back it up:
Does Anakin use two lightsabers at some point in the movie? Perhaps so, according to new observations coming to light this afternoon. While this is backed up only by these observations, it certainly looks possible.
In the newest Insider with Palpatine on the cover there is a pic of Hayden shaking hands with Ian. What no one noticed up until now was that Hayden is holding two lightsaber handles in the pic.
This picture (which is the same one blown way up by BuffaloJedi) seems to clearly show Anakin holding 2 sabers in the latest issue of the French Insider.
Is it possible they were just practicing with the various sabers and left a couple on their belt? Most definitely so, though it is interesting to think otherwise.
One other observation - does the saber look familiar? This may be getting kind of 'out there,' but it looks alot like the one used by Adi Gallia. Click here for comparison picture with Adi Gallia's lightsaber. Perhaps she is injured/killed and Anakin scoops it up? Possibly, though we may be delving into fan fiction until we hear from additional sources.
Either way some interesting observations, we'll keep looking for more!
Update: Nino from episode1-3.de has sent us a new scan from the German SW Fan Club. This photo confirms that Hayden is indeed holding 2 lightsabers. Whether he fights with both of them remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
