Random Rant and Discussion - Darkside? We don't need no stinking lightsabers

[wook77]

Rant first - discussion second -

I cannot, for the fucking life of me, stand the whole "lightside/darkside" reference thing in Harry Potter. Seriously, Jesus fuck people, this ain't Star Wars. Why can you not say "joins the Order" or "leaves the DEs"?

Whenever anyone says about Draco leaving the darkside, I always think, "did his lightsaber change colors? Cause red=darkside and if he's on the lightside now, then he has to have another color..." and then I go off on this long crack-y thought about if he's more of a Jedi Guardian or is he a Jedi Consular...

So, switching from rant to crack discussion - what color of lightsaber would Draco Malfoy use when he leaves the darkside and why?

To help - Wookieepedia on Lightsaber Crystals.

Personally - I'm voting Green - Draco seems like a Jedi Consular to me. Later in the series - he's all about thinking (cause that cabinet thing was made of genius IMHO) but he's also prone to randomly acting without thinking things through (trying to crash slughorn's party).

Make your answers as cracktacular or serious as you want.

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the JediOrder. At last we will have revenge" - Darth MaulLucius Malfoy

Well, I see Draco as using Form V (Djem So) and maybe Form VII (Vaapad)

Especially - to quote Mace "I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light."

I also imagine he would use Dun Möch as it was a form of combat that used distraction and doubt, usually through taunting, in conjunction with lightsaber battle. Dun Möch commonly involved spoken taunts, jeers, and jests that exposed the opponent's hidden, inner weaknesses and/or doubts, which had the end result of eroding the opponent's will. That's Draco in a nut shell.

As much as I'd think the Order, and by extension, Harry would like him to change colour I think through pride and stubbornness that he would keep his sabre red - I think that Draco, being adept at potions would probably create his own crystal, he can be very patient so I he wouldn't mind waiting and thus he wouldn't want to give that up just to have a sabre like everyone else in the Order.

Of course, I like the idea that no matter whether Draco left the Darkside he would still have that part in him taht doubt in his mind that was enough to sway Anakin and that would be enough to keep taht blade burning a deep, dark, red.

Why do I now want to write a Potter/Star Wars crossover? *shakes head* No must finish Slashfest fic... but the Darkside is so powerful, easier...

You are teh evil...

Dude, you rule. I'm laughing at this so hard because it's so earnest and yet, I know your tongues is firmly in cheek and omg, soooo much fun and YES, I totally want to write one BUT... mijan beat us both to it... did you see teh comment below?

You're liquid win, btw.

Tongue? In cheek? Moi?
*grin*
I gave that answer way, way to much thought... and here was me thinking that some people know way too much about Potterverse! It worries me that I know that Bobba/Jango's Slave 1 is a Kuat SE Firespray class P&A ship.

Point - Pettigrew did lop of his arm and have it replaced with a silver one ala Darth/Luke - ooohh!! There must be something in that!

mijan's comment followed by yours - *dies*

Draco: *turns on light saber* OH MY GREAT MERLIN COPULATING WITH CIRCE! I've done it! *brandishes*

Harry: It's, err, it's lavender.

Draco's pale purplely, light red, pinkish sabre began to droop and Harry knew they had a long night ahead. With copious amounts of Bacta, Hydrospanners and liberal use of the Force he would whip Draco's sabre into shape.

Draco: *pouts* *crosses arms* I want a Bronze one like Lowbacca. I'm not a pansy like that Potter Luke Skywalker git.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

TEEEEHEEEEEEEE

Can't you just see him getting pissy about it?

though, personally, I think he'd pitch a bitchfest for a purple one like Mace Windu's.

[flamewarrior.livejournal.com]

Hehehe! So Much Yes!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

HHHEEEEE!!!! The whole idea makes me chuckle and it's been going on since I started RP'ing because this one girl used to use it all the frikken time. And everytime someone says it in a fic, OMG, my brain immediately goes to the lightsaber discussion.

Draco Malfoy: Jedi Knight.

*grins*

So... green would be the obvious answer. Because Draco is a Slytherin, right? So even going "Light Side", he'd like green, because Slytherins like green.

Well, nay! Yeh scurvy scallywags! Draco likes green because it reminds him of Harry's eyes, something which brought him to the light side, but could tip him right back into the clutches of the Sith if Harry forgets to roll the toothpaste tube properly when Draco is PMS'ing.

So, Draco tried to build a green lightsaber to remind him always of Harry's love, so that whenever he'd fight for the Light Side (even though he'd much prefer to sit on one of those comfy chairs in the tower of the Jedi Temple - fighting tends to break nails), he'd remember that love is the heart of Goodness, and he's fighting for the Light Side.

However, his efforts to make his green lightsaber were not so easily rewarded. First attempt...

Draco: "PINK!!! WHAT THE FUCK! HARRRRRYYYY!!! Help me, Obi-Potter-Kenobi! We have a SERIOUS problem."

Harry: "So it's a pink lightsaber. I always knew you were unique. *hums* Pink is my new obsession. Pink is not even a question. Pink on the lips of your lover -"

Draco: "This is NOT a laughing matter! A proper Jedi Knight can't go around saving the galaxy with a glowing pink wand-thingy!"

Harry: "Well, maybe it's more of a light red."

Draco: "ARGHHH!!! Even worse! That means I'm still on the dark side. I can't have that! That's impossible! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Harry: *comforts Draco* It's okay, Draco. I didn't mean that. Maybe it's dusty rose, or a light mauve."

Draco: *grumbles* I need a new lightsaber. Here, give this one to that blonde jedi with the purple eyes... Mary What's-Her-Name. She seems like the pink lightsaber type."
*goes back to work*

...

Draco: EUREKA! Harry! I've done it! Look!

Harry: Wow, Draco. Chartreuse!

Draco: *blinks*
...
*thud*

Harry: Draco?

Draco: *on floor* Can't I just sit in Yoda's chair?

Re: Draco Malfoy: Jedi Knight.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Harry: *gets warm flannel* Draco, luv, Yoda's chair is too small for you.

Draco: *glares* Did you just call me fat?

Harry: *flails* No, I was just saying that he's like three feet tall and you're much taller than him is all.

Draco: *looks disbelieving* Are you sure?

Harry: Yes yes yes!!!! Now, come on, let's see what we can do about your lightsaber.

Draco: No, I can do it myself.

Harry: But I can help hold it *leers* I'm really really good at holding your saber.

Draco: Actually, you're far too rough on it. My saber needs special care and handling and lotion. You need to use lotion.

Harry: *boggles*

Draco: You won't be touching my saber until you start exfoliating.

Harry: *boggles*

Draco: Off you go.

Harry: *toddles off*

Draco: *fiddles with lightsaber*

Harry: *uses lotion*

Draco: *turns on light saber* OH MY GREAT MERLIN COPULATING WITH CIRCE! I've done it! *brandishes*

Harry: It's, err, it's lavender.

LoL

I don't know if I've ever been guilty of referring to it such as that, but if I have, my excuse is that I've never seen Star Wars. -_-0 I know, sad, isn't it? :)
