After watching pieces of episode 1-3 on the Spike channel the last few nights, I was wondering how Obi Wan blocked all of Dooku's blue lightning with his saber. To me it means that somehow the saber either somewhat attracts blue lightning, or if some of the blue lightning hits a saber then adjacent blue lightning will kinda be drawn along with it, or something. Because how could a thin saber block not only a verticle plane of lightning but also a horizontal plane too? (unless it just travels along a thin line that can be lined up and blocked with a saber). Perhaps there is something about the crystals or saber energy that goes along with the force or something?

I always thought the blades absorbed the energy and the Force helped it go smoothly.

i think they did that because it looked more badass then using their hands. honestly.

Damn right.

Queeq gonna kick my azz for this but consult the EU dept cause there is nothing in the movies or the novels(havent read AOTC) that can help here...

I would rather use my lightsaber instead of my hands.

Using your hands to block lightning is waaay more badass than using your lightsaber to block it.

Some guys have to use their hands if they can't properly work their lightsaber or if it is of inadequate size.

Wow, you must have blood loss problems when you ummm..use the Force.

I just took it as Kenobi using the force to direct the energy into the blade where it could dissipate instead of frying him.

It was very cool. I remember seeing it for the first time in theaters...I thought Kenobi was so screwed lol.

yeah kenobi was screwed...anytime he tangled with dooku...pretty sure I said this in another thread but dooku must have just had obi's number possibly cause he trained obi's master...he always knew what to expect from from obi wan?...anakin on the other hand being as talented as he was and having a bit of darkness to him gave him a rough bout...anyways like I said that was another thread..IM off topic but whats new ...Im off..lol..

Off.... as in off topic?

at least half the time..lol..

Good show.

When in doubt, turn to the EU. Don't care what Queeq says about it. And my friend agrees. *Gestures to rancor standing in corner staring hungrily at Queeq*

*throws skull into door controls and kills rancor*

Lemme rephrase that: When in doubt, turn to the EU thread.

Nope. I find the EU much more enjoyable.

For example, my favourite character is Galen Marek. I like him a lot more than anyone from the movies.

Of course that's just my opinion.
