Now we come to Taylor's lightsaber. Again this was made by the very talented AntiTaylor's saber is something that I wanted to reflect a few things about her, just like Vicky's saber reflects a few things about Vicky.Similar to Vicky, Taylor wants *function* in her Lightsaber. Unlike other Jedi who see the saber as an expression of one's inner self, Taylor wants a *tool* that does its JOB and does it properly.The curved hilt is of course a signature of the Makashi Lightsaber fighting style, something that Taylor *has* dabbled in and does have a fair degree of skill utilizing. Not as technically advanced as say Obi-Wan or Dooku of course, but it IS one of the "bedrock" foundations of her own hybridized style along with Shien and Djem-so.Unlike Vicky's Taylor's saber is only meant to be used in one hand, leaving the free hand capable of focusing on Force manipulation, or just using another weapon like a blaster, a second Saber or just her bare fist if need be.Taylor like Vicky- due to the simplicity/minimalistic nature of her saber build/design only has a light 'sting' setting for training her younglings and a murder blade setting on her saber with nothing in between.To compensate for this, there is a very heavy "pommel" at the back of the hilt.This she can use to bludgeon her oponent/victim in the event that a less lethal option is necessary. Or she's feeling particularly vindictive that day against her opponent.

Got to be honest was hoping someone would try a blaster combo like Ezra from Rebels

Ehhh a few problems with it really, (as seen historically) 1) Why tie your blaster to your saber? If you lose or break 1 you've lost/broken BOTH. 2) If you're THAT close to your enemy odds are you're not gonna be able to properly line up a shot, not vs anyone who knows what they're doing anyway 3) A saber can deflect blaster bolts back at your enemy, that is a much better use of your blade in one hand while the other, if absolutely necessary can hold an independent blaster to aim properly with. So it ultimately its just decorative at best, at worst clunky and awkward to use. 4) Specialized equipment like that requires specialized replacement parts, which means field repairs are NOT gonna be a thing if it becomes necessary. Ezra's design was a product of his resources, upbringing, priorities and level of skill. Not necessarilly because it was an effective tool. There's a reason he quite literally outgrew it.
