10. A requirement of living in the future
is that everything has to have totally unnecessary glow effects on them. :D

4. as i understand it:
the lightsaber is powered by your connection with the force. being a jedi is a spiritual thing and thus when using your saber, you are pitting your spirit against another in a battle. a fight with pocket knives is more of a low class street fight, and thus not the same kind of event. you don't really want an epic spiritual battle involving pocket knives,if it comes down to stabbing someone in an alley, use a real knife.

16. Yes actually.
"I'm glad you like Kirby! lol Quick question, though... have you ever wondered why it is that they've come out with lightsabers, but they haven't come out with light-swiss-army-knives? So have I. So much, that... sometimes... sometimes I can't sleep at night," he said.

"No, I've never wondered that, but now I think I have to give my characters glowy pocket-knives...just because," sed I.

5. I'll bite
If you're the sort to use/own a lightsaber, you're also already trained in the use of the Force.

If you're the sort who's trained in the use of the Force, you're probably not likely to use a pocketknife thing-y for opening your CDs, etc. After all, if you can lift an X-Wing out of a swamp with your mind, you can probably shred through that packaging pretty easily.

With your MIND.

13. I'm not even going to say
how much deliberation I did with myself about my characters appearance in KOTOR.




(Even though it's a worthless item, I still won't scrap my characters visor, her current robes, or her weapons)
