HAHAHA. filipinos are part of lightsaber history
holy crap. I read this in a nerdy starwars article. it's about count dooku and how they got the idea for his lightsaber design.
"The shape of Dooku's lightsaber, with its arabesque curved handle, came out of earlier exploration of Sith villains. Art Department Assistant Roel Robles brought in a number of Filipino swords, knives and spears to provide inspiration for weapon-shapes. One particular sword, a barong, had a curved handle that provided a firmer grip for the combatant."
wait, isn't that a bolo??? not a barong right? if that's the case. count dooku used a fukin lightsaber that made polluton and cut down fukin MANGO! hahaha. damn, that's awesome.
