I'm assuming this is the equivalent of the lightwhip?

Simple answer, no. The Lightwhip acts like a flexible lightsaber, the light doesn't actually go anywhere, just is a whip in light form attached to the hilt. The Energy wip, on the other hand, shoots out an energy pulse at its target. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 23:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
