Ya know, aside from Darth Maul's "coolness", those blades-at-both-ends will poke your eye out!

They're very much at risk with driving the whole concept into the ground. But Dave Filoni seems to have a hard-on for double-bladed lightsabers, unfortunately.

Ah yes, the Hoplite's trusty doru/dory. A small "lizard-killer" spike on one end is quite a bit different than managing two full-size blades on the same shaft, of course.

Dunno about that, but to be fair, it's hard to be truly intimidating when you've got a hairdo that makes it look like you want to talk to Obi-Wan's manager.

Hey! Speak for yourself!

She’s too hardcore for the bunch of people going around murdering Jedi, that's awesome.

We'll see. For now, I just find her over-the-top screaming amusing.

With some fans I can safely say it's also the actress they don't want in this, but that's not the kind of thing I want to throw around lightly or point at anyone present.

Don't be such a bigot.

Why not have the orange brat get her ass handed to her for once. That would be different. That would actually be interesting.
