    Moomba light-sabers make no sense!

    on the subjectstar wars i've just this second had a thought.

    how do lightsabers deflect each others blows?

    there all focussed light beams so shouldn't they just pass straight through each other?

    i know theres probably an answer to make sense of this so *waits for star wars fan to see this.*

    light sabers are actually little crystals, so they would be able to hit solid objeects wwithout passing straight through. . . i love my brother for telling me that, now i know it realy would help me!!!

    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?

    haha yes, they are little crystals, but the light is focused through those crystals, to create their colour and power, nothing to do with being able to hit solid objects. Raineclouds explination sounds more the sheilds on the U.S.S. Enterprise, but yeah

    I'm pretty sure they must use the same principle.

    Edit: if they were real.

    haha yeah they do, cos they decide to constantly modulate them, to stop the borg lasers penatrating them. and they OBVIOUSLY are real :rolleyes2 =P

    Contained energies within weak forcefields- or tubes, technically, but details details- that usually interact weakly with surrounding matter (to allow for the heating of said matter),but interact strongly with themselves. Or at least that's the explanation that makes the most sense to me.

    For other SW based questions, feel free to head on over to Stardestroyer.net, which may just answer some of them.

    You all make very compelling arguments.

    In rebuttle I offer the following:
