I know in the broad 'verse of Straw Wars, include pre-Disney buy-out EU, there's been a few wonky lightsaber variants....but how would a axe version of one be made?
Could a design of it be feasible?

Didn't vibra-axes use the same principles for lightsabers?

I always wanted to make a lightsaber version of Wolverine Claws. It seems viable.

 According to Slayers, you can make a sword, an axe, a bow, a claw, and a staff.  So, I'd say yes, a lightsaber axe could be done. |

The first place my mind went to with the idea was really kind of more of a Lightsaber scythe.

I'd just use a blaster.

It seems like it would be really difficult to chop down a tree with a blaster. |

I mean, we have lightwhips in the old EU. At worst you can apply the same concept to lining an emitter around an axe's head.

Obviously there has to be some sort of field that restricts how the blade extends, so why not a field that gives an axe head. |

Obviously there has to be some sort of field that restricts how the blade extends, so why not a field that gives an axe head. If I recall, and this is maybe just EU stuff that might not be canon anymore, lightsabers formed a sort of loop, which is why they didn't just keep going and going. I am sure there's got to be some kind of way of doing it like an axe, given they have pike ones where it's a long handle. I guess maybe the issue would just be what you'd be getting out of it to make an axe, since a broad blade with shorter reach doesn't really sound ideal for a weapon that doesn't need as much mass. (It'd at least make it harder to bat away, whereas that was shown to be an issue in Force Awakens. Lightsaber versus weapon with physical mass that doesn't just break when hit, equals great difficulty for the lightsaber.) The field thing, though, is how Gundam does beam sabers, where a field contains the particles and on striking objects, the particles would burn away at what you hit, as you'd expect. |
