light-sabers make no sense!

[McLovin']

Because the lasers are SPECIALLY designed to deflect only other LASERS.

The question is how fricken sharks can shoot fricken laser beams from their fricken heads?

You all make very compelling arguments.

In rebuttle I offer the following:

It is make believe.

Remember this any time you are ever critical of the special effects in any movie ever.

Lightsabers aren't lasers. And they can actually be set to deflect matter too (EX: Maul using his sabre as a prop, EU instances of deflecting flechettes and such), it's just not part of the default settings.

And to answer the second, by flexing. Duh.

They're your normal average sticks dunked in uranium or any other highly radioactive matter. That is the glowing sorted.

The sound is simply the people using it. Voosh. Pzzrt!

Sticks are solid, so that explains the ability to be solid.

And the whole "being able to chop anything" thing...well. In that particular galaxy, everything is really shoddy. So their "concrete" is nothing more than a a substance that is really soft, like butter, called Butterinium. And those "metal" droids, yeah right, they're made from Greasatium.

sposedly, if the lil crystals arent lined up properly, all straight and that, then the lightsaber would go BANG!!!!!!

[Ryushikaze]

I'm curious where you're getting that from, since the only instance of an exploding saber has to do with a badly flawed crystal, not a misaligned one.

If the thing isn't aligned properly, the thing simply won't work.

[boys from the dwarf]

meh. i knew light sabers maked sense.

i just wanted to know.

i agree with lots of these, "its just a movie" and "its make believe things."

The beams are generated using identical sub-molecular frequencies that do not modulate; thus, they cannot penetrate the sub-space field within the constituted boundaries of the saber.

Got it?

you just made that up to sound cool/clever! (or nerdy.)

anyway. i was bored when i made this thread so, enjoy.

mih, my big bro=MAJOR SW FAN!!!

Same here, with a bent towards the technology- inconsistent as it is within the EU. I do not recall this occuring often, hence my question as to a source for it. I planned on going and double checking.

[Skarr]

The mere fact that so much thought went into this is pretty shocking. I mean wow. Two words...

[Captain Maxx Power]

I think the main explanation behind it is that it's actually self-contained plasma particles, which have a definitive mass and density when compared to pure light particles. However the energy required to contain such an energy would be immense, hence why the idea of containing it in a small handheld device is slightly ludicrous.

Mace Windu isn't special enough to deserve a different coloured saber

aww, you know thats harsh, after him dying and all, what colour shouls he have?green like yodas?or is he not special enough?i spose its a blue for him then?

^That's racist!
