He wants the thing, the ring does the fiddly stuff. Greenies are the ones who have to do it the hard way.

Ah, but if we're considering everything DC with the word 'star' somewhere in their name, why not Dex Starr?
In all seriousness, compelling circumstantial evidence points toward an episode focused on the Star Sapphire.

Conservation of Detail is like that.
Wait, so making orichalcum is just that simple for Zatanna? With the staff powering her she could make tons of the stuff.
I suspect the trouble greenies have with making complex constructs is partly due to guardian programming. Otherwise they could do like OL by willing the ring to handle the fiddly bits. They would still need to concentrate hard, but the ring AI would be doing the forms.
That wouldn't just be the guardians being control-freaky. Programming like that means a greenie can never do anything by accident since they have to understand every bit of whatever construct they make.

I remember reading a comic where Lantern Jordan creates a lawnmower construct to mow down some alien weeds. So you're saying he couldn't do that on E-16-ZOAT?
EDIT: I say weeds. They were sapient beings. I'm being a bit of a dick here.

huh, you know thinking about it, the exact shape of a green construct probably doesn't matter all that much. A mass of will shaped like a sledgehammer may well hit with as much force as one shaped like a boxing glove if they both have the same amount of will behind them. That actually explains the boxing gloves, if the effectiveness of the construct relies more on how much will is pumped into it then its form then simple constructs might actually work better for green lanterns. If that's true then this is actually a fairly effective attack, oh sure it looks silly but strip away the shape and it's basically a bunch of homing energy blasts, Ol might have misjudged jordan.
or not. I mean unless holding it makes it easier for him to pump will into it or something, there is literally no reason for him to do that.
there is just something endearing about OL's reaction here, can't quite put my finger on it.
why mr chekhov, that is quite a fine firearm you have up on your mantel.
is it a chekhov's gun if you know exactly what it's being aimed at?
so usual opening chapter of an episode, mostly working on setup for the plot of the episode, and possibly getting in some foreshadowing for later episodes. Should be interesting so what happens next.

Guy had a villain called Evil Star, maybe that's why he's weird.

Another question is what audience are they practicing in front of? Fellow league members? Friends and family? Bystanders?

Evil Star was actually mentioned earlier in the story.

Jordan's a bit of a cocky prick, ain't he? I mean yeah, Paul's a little arrogant, but I think that after everything he's been through it's been sufficiently proven that he knows a thing or two about how to use a power ring. Heck, he's probably the best expert on the Orange Light you'll find barring the Controllers.

No. 'cardboard outer' is the object.
She needed to observe and study the process of making it first, but basically 'yes'.
Only in the service of love.
No, they can't. Guardians themselves can create complex constructs just fine. Regular Lanterns struggle to concentrate on all of the fiddily little bits, which they need to becuase construct strength is determined by mental focus.
What, a box with a rotating blade? No problem at all. He couldn't make a lawnmower construct that functioned mechanically, but how often is he going to need to?
It came up before that with a group of Lanterns regularly practicing in one place, a group of people have started turning up to watch.
In this setting, that would not be possible. If you've got enough willpower to break a ring then you're a Guardian.

Was he practicing doing stuff on his own this episode in case of the AI ever being disabled then?

No, I believe that Zoat has said that Will just requires more visualization . If it were a guardian safety feature, it probably wouldn't be solely a green thing- The guardians designed the orange rings too, after all.
And while I don't know about here, in the comics Green lanterns could totally accidentally use their rings- Penelops accidentally changed his planet's orbit, Arisia supposedly didn't age herself up to date Hal Jordan on purpose, and I doubt Driq just woke up one day and said to himself, "Self, I think I'll use my ring to turn into a zombie if killed., because zombies are cool."

No, becuase there's basically no way to do that without wrecking the ring.
Thank you, corrected.
...I'm pretty sure the Controllers did the Orange stuff, not the Guardians.

No, the Controllers wanted to harness the orange light for their own corps, but the map that lead Agent Orange to the orange battery was made by Krona on Maltus, before the Guardians left for Oa, and hence before the Controllers left Oa to form their own society.
I suppose if you want to get technical, this would make the creation of the orange battery pre-Guardian as well, but the majority of Maltusians chose to become Guardians.
Now, since Krona kept all the embodiments as pets and made the prototype of the green lantern technology and made the map that led to the orange lantern, the rather natural assumption is that Krona is at least partially responsible for making the orange lantern.
And if the proto-Controllers had much to do with making the orange lantern and rings, one would assume that instead of going to Okaara and getting killed, they would have just start making their own rings and batteries.
