Ultrasonic vs 'the hum'Edit

Ultrasonic means 'can't be heard in normal human hearing range', so unless Nym is from a species that can hear that range, we have a contradiction. Operations.kt 01:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

• It's a contradiction. Vibroblades are well established as producing an audible hum, with LaserHone's vibrorapier being a notable - and noted - exception. jSarek 04:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't believe we've ever heard vibroblades in any of the games or movies either. Never heard one (and there were a lot of vibro-axes) in RotJ. Perhaps you only hear the _cheap_ ones? Operations.kt 04:29, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
  • It could just set up some lower frequency harmonics within the audible range, that would explain the hum and seems likely to occur in its on right, just from a physics perspective. 97.113.74.240 08:26, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Maybe the ultrasonic vibrations cause portions of the casing to vibrate? Or maybe the hum is caused by the power cell?--Cheomesh 18:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Othone and Kelad'denEdit

I was checking my info on vibroblades, when I noticed that Kelad'den was a redlink and fixed it. Reading further, I was unsure as to whether or not the book said that his weapons were vibroblades or even cortosis laced. I ran upstairs and grabbed my copy of Rule of Two, and read that info nowhere. Unless it directly says that the weapons were vibroblades or cortosis laced, you probably shouldn't make that assumption. Othones initial attackers, however, were confirmed to use cortosis laced vibroblades, so that would be an appropriate addition. On a side note, always sign your name.—Darth Malevolous^{(Through power I gain victory.)} 14:33, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Picture; Misleading and downright wrong. Edit

That picture is misleading based on the content of the article. None of the weapons on it are "vibroblades", per se, despite what the captions say. The items, which include a Ryyk Blade (Top Right), Power Hammer (3rd down on the Left), and Felucian Skullblade (Top Left), are obviously NOT vibroblades by any meaning of the term. I strongly advise a more avid editor of Wookieepedia than myself to take this under consideration, and find a more suitable graphic.

Full details on which weapons are which is in the Star Wars RPG Force Unleashed Campaign Guide (the source from which this picture was taken), which I do not happen to have on hand right now.

Vibroblade is just a blade, I believe. All those are under the umbrella of vibroblade.—B-Boba Fett! ^{Make the check out to "Boba Fett"} 11:56, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

• • Read the article. A vibroblade uses ultrasonic vibrations to increase cutting effectiveness. That's the difference between a vibroblade and an ordinary blade. Ryyk blades are unpowered. And of course, a bludgeoning weapon like a power hammer is not a blade of any sort. So yeah, we should change the image. -LtNOWIS 19:34, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

G Canon? Edit

According to Dave Filoni on [IGN TV] "Filoni: The Darksaber. That was a big deal. And again that was an idea that came straight from George. Originally what Pre Vizsla was carrying was something in the EU called a vibroblade; it's kind of an electric sword. George let me get away with it in the early phases of design and in the early shooting, but when the color came back and he was watching the lightsaber we want to have combating this vibroblade, he said there's no way that can happen; there's no way that a non-lightsaber could block a lightsaber. So he had us do away with the vibroblade in that episode really late in the game, and he created something called the Darksaber, which would be a black-bladed energy saber with a white edge. It has a crackle of electricity; it's kind of like a more ancient version of a lightsaber, and it's inferred in the episode that it's really one of a kind and that Pre Vizsla's ancestors stole it from the Jedi in the days of the Old Republic. So it's got all this neat history attached to it right away, and it sounds different."

• So does this mean Vibroblades aren't Canon anymore?? lol GMo >:M:< 03:51, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
  • Why would you assume that? All George did was tell Filoni to not have Vizsla using a vibroblade against Kenobi's lightsaber. He said nothing about them not existing. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 03:58, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
    • True dat. Besides, he was contradicting himself. He added the Magnaguard Electrostaffs into Ep. III and they blocked lightsabers. Te Mirdala Mand'alor 04:04, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Origin Edit

I believe that vibroblades originated in the Brian Daley-penned Han Solo Adventures. Can anyone confirm?--Darth Formidable 19:18, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
