I was thinking that the Steampunk version of lightsabers should still be swords. But with tech built-in some way. Steam, water or simply fire blasting from the hilt or even along the blade would be great. I still enjoy how you have depicted Vader and Luke but still need the edge weapon aspect in there somehow. And again, there needs to be a tech element so as to make them something more than “just” bladed weapons. I would LOVE to see your Vader and Luke clash! Good luck! And it would be great to see something grow from it! 🙂
I love it!! It reminds me of a cross between Star Wars, the armored suits from Heinlein’s “Starship Troopers,” and from another sci-fi book by the name of “Armor.”
It’s amazing!
I love this. You should sell it 🙂
