this is a posibility. It s a double sided hooked blade, like a kopesh, on either side.

And this is just to damn funny:

Haha don't worry about it. I appreciate all the help. I kind of like the scythe one though...That sounds pretty cool actually. What about a scythe with a blacde at each end? Or if we go with the mix of staff and saber could I give it a unique form or would it just be a blade at the end of the staff?

As for the age thing, I finally looked up the whole initiate thing and what not so now all I need to know is how many years after the war it is and I can finally set the age and also he will probably have failed the initiate trials and use the scythe I mentioned, unless it's not that long after the war and she would be a padawan, I have to look up Mirialan age stuff first as well but that's my next thing I'm about to work on.

There is a saber with a longer handle that she could have been training with as a child, the familiarity of the previous style could bleed over to the wan-shen use. But I really think you need to start edging back from lightsaber focus as the wookiee would not be able to continue her training past what she was taught.

I like the scythe blade idea, downside I see are practicalities of the double weapon:



You don't notice it with a saber-staff because it is just the handle with weightless blades. But with a real weapon of that size, a lot of what you are working with is momentum, a one sided weapon has a point of weight to swing down and bring around to bear where a double weapon has you pulling and pushing at the same time, neutralizing a lot of the energy you are trying to generate for the swings.

Star Wars: The Other Orders

having a violent nature above and beyond the usual for jedi could be a reason to fail the test of spirit.

Lightsabers are usually an act performed while a padawan and part of the transformation to jedi knight. Until then, younglingslike in the temple were using what is called a training saber and padawans basically borrow a functional saber from their masters. Sometimes the master will build the lightsaber in front of the padawan to show them what to prepare for and then hand the child the one the adult made as a gift.

So if she never even made it to youngling, no saber at all. if she made it to youngling but not padawan, then a practice saber. if a padawan and her master died at order 66, then a functional lightsaber.

But remember, Makutai dont use lightsabers, they use Wan-shen. A pole-arm weapon that is often imbued with the force to resist lightsaber strikes, but only defined as 'a 2 meter pole with a blade on the end'. I've seen this interpreted lots of ways. Some people think of a glaive or naginata others say the image is clearly an axe like a halberd and I once saw a player claim the blade on the end of a stick as a scythe.

When this gets off the ground, the wookiee's is going to be using his Ryyk blade retooled into this weapon with a collapsible handle as a snap out baton, a lot like a machete on the end of a stick. Your character could do something like take the lightsaber components from their old saber and introduce the pieces into the construction of the wan-shen to give it a second life as something new just like she would use her limited jedi training to build upon her makutai training.

Carrying around a saber is an invitation to stupidity if even an 8 year old slave can recognize an unignighted laser sword on the hip. If it is not dismantled into something like the golden gun (james bond movie staring count dooku ironically, a disassemblable golden handgun made of a gold cigarette case, gold cigarette lighter, gold fountain pen and gold cufflink as the gun's trigger.), which till takes time to assemble, unless you are thinking of the jedi from star wars rebels where he keeps just one piece unattached and snaps them together which takes less time but still identifiable as lightsaber parts.

Don't mind excess stuff thrown at me, I actually prefer it so don't worry about that. Just keep in mind my knowledge is that of the movies and a few of the older games, so the whole Agri-corps, Medi-coprs (Obviously something medical here?), and explori-corps are something I know nothing about. Also what would be some reasons for someone failing the trials, and also how long has it been since order 66 (Might've missed that part) and how old would she have had to have been to start and fail the trials?

@Ciphra

As is a repeated commonality, the 'initiate trials' are often a test of mind, body and spirit. Failing any of these usually hedges out even the younglings before they become padawans, then again at the padawan stage before a knight may select a student to teach them. the enclave in KOTOR 1 is an example of the padawan trials where he has to build his lightsber by going to the cave for the crystals is testing the body by combat, then performing the code from memory is a reflection of the mind and last to figure out the disturbace to the north where you meet juhani. saving her from her own darkness is the trial of spirit.

Another example of the trials is anakin seeing what is on the datapad, either by seeing into the force for remote viewing or reading the mind to know the answer would both be acceptable tests of the mind.

Star Wars: The Other Orders

Warning as I shotgun a bunch of data all at once, not trying to overwhelm you:

I'd go with Mirialan, male or female. Just for embracing the great span of the galaxy.

So Mirialan Matukai, love the allegorical. As Mirialan are a known jedi recruitable species, one question would be character age compared to order 66 and the second to why she wasn't a jedi conscript first.

It is already said they pick people the order would not have chosen, many children who fail the jedi padawan trials become members of agri-corps or medi-corps and explori-corps. One option is a failed jedi initiate who came upon the wookie with her time in the corps that brought them together when order 66 occurred and he kept her on the run with him since.

The other idea I had was that the wookiee knew one of her parents and he pledged a life debt to their child so he has always been the 'fuzzy uncle'.
