Has Corellan named his lightsabers?

What a great question!

Short answer: Not usually… with one exception. The two cerulean blue lightsabers he started using after Tython after he still (normally) uses to the "present day" (post-KOTET) didn't require names for him to remember what they were for. One was the former saber of Laotah, the Selkath jedi knight he encountered on Tython who was already dying of wounds suffered from the Flesh Raiders. Corellan repaired it with a blue crystal at the Forge, and he uses it to this day. That saber is a reminder of his limitations and his failures. His other blue saber was built with the materials Orgun Din gave him, also with a crystal from the cave on Tython. That saber is a reminder of his successes. That perseverance can pay off and allow him to do extraordinary things. Those are the unnamed lightsabers he "normally" uses to this day. But there is an exception.

This is Throne-Breaker. The lightsaber he forged on Odessen with the help of Satele and Darth Marr. Whereas his blue lightsabers are ultimately light-side, a reflection of his core values, Throne-Breaker is balanced. An acknowledgement that there is darkness in himself, and there always will be. He used Throne-Breaker when he fought Arcann on his flagship. He used it when he struck down Vaylin on Odessen. He used it to destroy Valkorion / Vitiate / Tenebrae. He doesn't use it always. In fact, since the fall of the Eternal Empire, he almost never uses it. He now knows that people are not meant to be balanced. Not for very long. And people who try to do it… it doesn't work out. Look at Revan, for example. But Corellan keeps Throne-Breaker carefully hidden in the safest place he knows, knowing that it will be there if he ever needs it again. (No, I am not telling you where he keeps it. )

Thank you so much for the ask!

One thing I find funny from Show Dany haters is how much they call her an egomaniac tyrant who just wanted to control everything and everyone to obey her, that she only cared about the throne and power. How much they laugh at the idea of her trying to help common people, break the system and in general, give power to powerless people, etc. That she would only want power for herself and would loathe democracy more than any other character.

These people are also the ones who laughed along Season 8 Sansa, Tyrion, Arya and others when Sam proposed democracy as a system for Westeros at the end of the show.

To all that people, I'd like to kindly remind that before leaving for Westeros, Daenerys established democracy in Meereen (and the rest of the Bay of Dragons, I suppose). She and Tyrion spent some undetermined time to plan it and then left Daario and the Second Sons to keep the peace while people chose their rulers and a new government was appointed.

Now, while I'm sure we all would have liked to know the aftermatch of that, how things worked there after her leaving and especially after her death, we won't ever know thanks to certain writers who kinda forgot about it after S6, only remembering the Bay when deciding that slaying slavers was apparently a sign of madness and evilness ?¿

If you ask me, with Dany dead, most of her army destroyed as well, and no one else strong enough to protect the Bay, slavery will return and way worse. But that wasn't something D&D wanted people to think about because that would add some grey to the situation and they wanted Dany to be irremediably unjustifiable in her acts and her death the only option with only good consequences. Just to be clear, I think S8 Dany, a total different character from previous seasons, deserved to die after what she did. But go and visit the Bay in ten years, Jon and Tyrion, and ask them if what you two did was good. Surely and certaintly there were consequences.

In any case, since we'll never know what would happen, the series ends with Daenerys being the only ruler who actually cared for her people enough that she actually gave them total power to choose who should rule them... just 12 episodes before the writers decided she should mass murder innocents for literally no reason at all

She remains the only one who established real democracy that considered people no matter their origins or status (and not merely in a organization like the Night Watch) while the high nobles of Westeros laughed and considered the idea ridiculous. What a tyrant, right?

I'd have liked Sam to know the one who actually established his idea in a different place was the queen he hated so much, while all the others laughed. I'd have also liked if he was told what his family did and how many people died because of their betrayal, how many chances were even then offered to them, rather than just "they didn't bend the knee so i killed them lol". But the goal in Season 8 was always to paint Dany as a villain with no gray in the middle, just like they made Jon lie to his family and the lords and say Dany forced him to bend the knee in order to help the North when she actually swore to defend it without any commitment to her cause the moment she realized the threat was real and no fantasy. Yet no one, not even Dany, ever blinked an eye about this. Like it was retconned to frame her as evil.

One of my favorite things in fiction is royals whose closest relationship is someone who serves them (bodyguard, servant, adviser, etc). It can never just be simple. It has so many questions. Are they doing this because they care or because they are forced to serve me? Can it be a real friendship if someone is always forced to listen to the other? Are they protecting me because they care or because they are forced to? Are they hating me as they protect me above themselves? Will there always be a sense of propriety that will always have to remain? And most of all, it is a testament to the loneliness of the royal (and sometimes the other too). The only person they have to talk to is being paid to be there. Think about that.

a/n: I have drafted this so many times in my head that I feel like I'm forgetting something.

I'm Raising Money for Surgery!

In a few months, I'm going in to get a necessary surgery done. So to help raise funds, I'm holding a sale!

From now until the 20th of July, my entire library of games is 75% off! Or you can buy the whole collection as a bundle for just $15!

If you aren't interested in any of my games, or if you'd like to pitch in for monthly support, you can also send me a few dollars on ko-fi.

For the duration of the sale, you can get the following games for a quarter of their usual price:

Bring the Stars Home to Me - a solo epistolary game about traveling the stars.

Broke Wizards - A lighthearted zine about working-class sorcerers.

Duel 2nd Revision - my first title, a micro print-and-play card fighting game.

Fantasy Heartbreaker - my attempt at a light, flexible fantasy RPG.

Game Breakers - a comedic one-page Isekai game about cheating.

RULE - a collection of grim 200-word fantasy RPGs.

and The Tale of Yon: a Tyrant's Throne - a zelda-inspired heroic adventure which uses a chess board to build a dungeon.

You can get an even better deal if you buy the bundle, which contains all of the above games for just $15! That's seven games (or 11, depending on how you count) for the standard price of Broke Wizards.

Why won’t you tell us where Throne-Breaker is kept? I pinky promise not to try to steal it

.... Only you can guilt me this way. Its probably all the risque prompts we traded back in the day.

I love my cute little homages to the original trilogy.

If Corellan ever shouts "Throne-Breaker", T7 rolls up....

And then Corellan goes into "I am going to end you" mode.
