The question here is, if Luke using his lightsaber (can use Force only for passive abilities like enhancing physical abilities) were to try and cut each FIVE FEET of these things, how long would it take for him to cut through (NOT totally destroy, just cut straight through once), or would he fail to cut it altogether?

1. medieval plate armor
2. stormtrooper armor
3. modern tank armor
4. a droideka's force shield
5. AAT armor
6. beskar
7. cortosis (can reactivate if lightsaber shorts out after shortage is over)
8. AT-AT armor
9. Imperial Star Destroyer's hull
10. Imperial Star Destroyer's hull/w shields
11. Sun Crusher's armor
12. Superman
13. Secondary Adamantium
14. Primary Adamantium
15. Another lightsaber BLADE

Erm HWKA you put them in a completely illogical order. Beskar being the material which saved Boba from being decapitated in LOTF and that was only about an inch think of it. In regards to Luke cuts through AT AT armour in ESB.

Well, if Revan was using a lightsaber he would complete the gauntlet. Yes, he would even be able to cut 5 feet through another lightsaber.

Actually I can only think of one.

Beskar and cortosis are intended to resist the cutting qualities of lightsabers. The Sun Crusher's armor might resist... I'm not sure, I don't know much about it. 12-14 are not able to be discussed here to begin with as they're from different universes than Star Wars. 15 is impossible.

The feat's the Sun Crusher's armour has that it can survive in the heart of a gas planet and survive a glancing full power Death Star shot. Hope that helps.

Cool.



Anybody else have any answers?

I can't tell you the secret of life, and I don't have any answers for you. I don't give interviews, and I'm no longer a public figure. I just want to be left alone. *huffs*

*full power prototype/incompleted/not-actually-the-death-Star shot.

Oh and HWKA I do, when a topic of interest appears.

Or one that isn't against the rules (anything besides Star Wars does not belong here).

Yes, oh my god he did!!!

Except that my thread was a parody of how threads like this (with characters and stuff outside of Star Wars) didn't get closed, you want proof: Source.

OK guys: if you want to be picky over the rules (that many of you break), we'll remove the ones involving Superman and Adamantium.

Now...what about the others?

1. medieval plate armor- Clear
2. stormtrooper armor -Clear
3. modern tank armor -Clear
4. a droideka's force shield- They gotta run outta battery eventually? -Clear

6. beskar -Nope
7. cortosis (can reactivate if lightsaber shorts out after shortage is over) - Clear
8. AT-AT armor -Clear

thank you!

Also, I was asking how long/how much effort would be required to clear each one, if at all possible.


It would clear Beskar after a while...

Unlikely. Slash your fanboyism of Revan is bordering on fanwankery, your following in Neb's shoes. Yeah, I said it.

No, Revan is actually that good. Your fanboyism of Bandon though, is on an entire new level of suicidal fanwankery.

And Neb's shoes are okay, he never wears shoes barefooted, always uses socks. Get it? Socks, Neb? If anyone doesn't think that's funny, they're stupid.

Prove otherwise. That's funny to the degree of stupidity. Therefore you are stupid and by your own statement. Whoever doesn't find it funny is stupid, and due to it being "funny to the degree of stupidity" anyone who finds it funny is stupid as well.

1. medieval plate armor - easy
2. stormtrooper armor - easy
3. modern tank armor - yes
4. a droideka's force shield - yes
5. AAT armor - also yes
6. beskar - might take a few hours or days
7. cortosis (can reactivate if lightsaber shorts out after shortage is over) - depends on how fast it shorts out. hours to months or years
8. AT-AT armor - the actual armored part, not the underbelly, probably a few minutes.
9. Imperial Star Destroyer's hull - few minutes.
10. Imperial Star Destroyer's hull/w shields - never.
11. Sun Crusher's armor - never.
12. Superman - never.
13. Secondary Adamantium - no idea.
14. Primary Adamantium - never?
15. Another lightsaber BLADE - never.

Nice picks, but I'd say that a lightsaber could cut through beskar in less than a few hours. I mean, doesn't a single strike still leave at least a scorch mark?

Yeah, but five feet its a whole lot to cut through.
