Some good choices, but I gotta go with the majority and say the lightsaber too.

Farslayer was useless. 1 shot, isn't neccessarily gonna kill the person you set it after, and you are doomed for using it.

Now, Sheildbreaker on the other hand... :)

Actually, My favorites were Soulcutter and Sightblinder. Go figure.

(I loved that series BTW. In my youth I memorized all the verses about the swords and I still know them)

You raise some interesting issues, altho I believe in the books, with Farslayer it was a guaranteed kill, good enough to kill the gods.

Oh it was a guaranteed kill... but it killed the person IT thought most wronged you, not unnecessarily who YOU wanted it to kill. It was fickle like that. But all 12 came with their own Curse...

hmm.., it's been a while since I've read them, I don't remember that there was that sense of randomness. Interesting thought tho, throws a bit of a monkeywrench into the works...

The Lightsaber, not as clumsy or random as a blaster. A more elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

I hope you all realize that my user name makes direct reference to the seventh form of lightsaber combat--Juyo.
