That film took more from Star Wars than it did from MotD, no harm in returning the favour 😃I've seen this in Master of the Universe (1987).
Neither does a lightsaber.
She's the only one using something like this and she built it without asking permission from the Council because she knew they would have said no :p
Those aren't a lightsaber. They're just scifi whips in the same sense that vibroblades are knifes that vibrate. Vernestra's lightwhip has all the lethality of a saber so it can slice into things.The slavers in the Clone Wars show used light whips when they subdued Anakin and Obi Wan.
It's not really a new idea.
Fun fact, in the current canon one of Luke's students literally killed themselves because they tried to do a lightsaber boomerang maneuver.
So one version of the light whip hurts your captives and one cuts them in half. Better not mix them up I guess.The slavers in the Clone Wars show used light whips when they subdued Anakin and Obi Wan.

Vernestra Rwoh is one of the biggest badasses from the HR era. A jedi knight at 15 years old which is more unprecedented than Anakin being a council member in his twenties. And a person with a particular force ability that causes her to have very intense visions when she enters hyperspace, one of which is the reason she created her lightwhip. It's something the nightsisters were known for and something ancient jedi used against the sith.
Everyday they move further away from his holy word.
The problem with this argument is, you're basically saying excuse one dumb thing and you have to excuse every future impractical dumb thing.
The overreaction to this remain baffling.
