    Also: Golbez as an 'obvious Darth Vader homage', a character definitely not associated with sword-having while also being good at other things.

    A lightsaber pales in comparison before the power of The Force. But do go on being petty and boring.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore

    I think that was their point. That nobody associates Vader with the lightsaber (which he uses), but with his intense powers of the Force. Like how everybody associates Golbez with his intense magical powers, not a sword (which he's using).

    Actually I do associate Darth Vader with a light saber, rather heavily. Because I grew up with Darth Vader merch, and let me tell you: it was all red, because of the light saber. Darth Vader's iconic image just has a light saber.

    And that's fine, because despite that the image of Darth Vader is also not just being a swordsman, we know very well that he's capable of other things. (Mostly choking people one-handed, he does that a lot.) A character is not merely defined by their weapon, and Darth Vader's actually a really good example of that.

    Golbez can have a sword without the sword defining him.
