Hehe, I remember reading that in one of my Star Wars guidebooks a while ago But there are several factors why I chose a double blade. One is as you mentioned, the cool-factor. An other is that she has her staff, and a double-bladet lightsaber could feel more natural to someone used to whield a staff, although I am considering changing the style into the style some JediMasters use; a walkingstaff-lightsaber.

I also used to believe that the double-bladet lightsaber was a more "aggressive" lightsaber, not fitting for a jedi. That is correct, but there are several points to consider there. The Jedi, (before episode 1) were very keen on following tradition, like using the same jedi robes, similar lightsaber-styles, and padawans creating lightsabers looking similar as the ones of their masters, all propably to symbolise that they are all but parts of the order, and won't try to stand out from the others. But then there were jedis who decidet to use a more personal style, jedi's like for example Jastus Farr, Adi Gallia, A'Sharad Hett, Anakin Skywalker, Dooku (when he was a jedi). Adi Gallia, used a very special lightsaber-combat style (and a red lightsaber, later blue), A'Sharad used two red lightsabers (later green), Anakin used jedi-robes and a lightsaber-design different from Obi Wan's, breaking with tradition. Dooku used the special curved lightsaber, no doubt known to be best as a aggressive form of single-bladet lightsaber, and Jastus Farr is one of the Jedis who specialised in the form of wielding double-bladet lightsabers (wielding a green double blade lightsaber) [link] [link]

But indeed, double bladet lightsabers are one heck to deflect with, even when dueling. It would take a massive amount of skill to use one effectively. I thought Krystal would feel familiar enough with it because of her using a staff as a main weapon. Besides, as I wanted to put her "jedi timeline" in the time around episode 4-6, when the Jedi are more or less extinct, knowing what the proper Jedi code would be isn't easy That's one of the reasons why a few of Luke Skywalkers padawans and masters prefer double-bladet lightsabers, and are allowed to it. Besides, one of the major disatvantages with dual sabers is that you can't really strike with it, or use it standing still. To attack, you must attack with you're body, and I thought Krystal could have a sort of graceful "dancing" attackstyle. Coolfactor
I thought Krystal could have been trained in the Jedi ways by master Voolvif Monn, temporarily survivor of the purge, who is known to have a little agressive fighting-style. The time is around or before episode 4, so she doesn't get much training before he gets hunted down by Vader. Krystal had left Lylat to search for the truth about the destruction of her homeworld, since she had gotten tips about that the Empire maby stood behind it (part of the death star research program?) Hm. Short about the story.

Whoh, that was long Know what it's like with the details, I'm likewise
