+1 to event -1 CG need to calm down a little. Trying to RP as a wookie and all they wanted me to do was stand behind a rock. No Fun Also what was with chain of command there? i had 4 different CG telling me to do 4 different things lol.

Thank You!!! finally a full, straight answer. Appreciate it and I appreciate it being brought up to the Council. Now I do agree that this is an ancient design and yes it most certainly was not common during the Clone Wars era of the Republic, I still don't see any evidence disputing the fact of The Jedi Order not using this type of saber. It is Canon that the vents were not merely for design but also for combat. They used the crossgaurd blades as defense and also for attack. Furthermore I again agree with you on the statement of letting this be an outright open hilt as soon as you're able to wield a lightsaber. It would definitely lead to a lot headaches that i'm sure none you need. I suggest leaving it as a perk for up and coming Jedi Knights. Maybe at rank 3+ you're able to have the option of getting one. Something along those lines. But this is all a healthy debate for me. I just want to see where the Council stood on the matter in detail. Thank you again!

why is that

yes you are correct that it is an ancient design but there is nothing in Star Wars canon that any jedi was or was not currently using this type of design during the Clone Wars. I feel that since sage is gone and we have a whole canon saber design we are not using, i feel like we could create some new Jedi class or something. Food for thought

But why, thats what Im asking. Why did the council forbid it. Not trying to argue im just curious as to why

The crossguard lightsaber can also house a stable crystal as well. Jedi have been using it for thousands of years and even used them during the Jedi Civil War when the Sith Order was at it's hieght. the Kylo version just uses that style of hilt for his cracked kyber crystal because of the external ports.

Okay but if we are going by that logic, then would that not void out any lightsaber style/design? Especially saberstaff and a saber with a Dooku Hilt? And to be completely extra, Kylo isn't a Sith.

The hilt predates clone wars republic era. It's been a standard lightsaber for Jedi for thousands of years.

I've talked to a few Jedi on the server about it but I haven't got a clear answer on why no one is allowed to use the Kylo hilt. Is it because of its game play functions? I'm just curious.
