Arrow Gen. G's Henchmen

So, does anyone have any idea what type of weapon they were using?

I always thought a lightsaber could cut through anything. But the droids were using it rather efficiently before being decapitated by Obi and Ani.

What's the beef?

from the OS...

Built by Baktoid Armor Workshop, these electrostaffs are constructed of costly phrik alloy and equipped with electromagnetic pulse-generating tips. Certain types of staff are capable of neutralizing ray shields, but the standard staff serves primarily as a melee weapon, meting out fatal blunt-force injuries in the hands of its powerful wielders.

Yes, the Magnaguards weapon is called an electrostaff. The reason a lightsabre can't cut through it is that the two ends are polarised. They generate an electromagnetic field that can block lightsabres (since the sabre blade is also an E.M. field).

Try putting two magnets together. They repel. Same principle.

Neat idea. This is the first time the movies have shown something that lightsabres can't cut through.

Um what about jabba's guards's vibroblades ? You clearly see them stop Luke's blade a few times.

I think that had more to do with the limited effects than anything. Luke should have been slicing the guards into bits. Instead it looks like he's hitting them with a baseball bat!

Anyway, electrostaffs are still cool!

Lightsaber can cut through vibroblades, it'd just be stupid if they couldn't. Just the limited effects that Georgie had for ROTJ in 1983...

Nah, Luke attacked 2 big skiffs plus the deck of the big one, and none of the henchmen so much as lost a fingernail!

Why didn't any of them lose an arm or a leg?

Kind of hard back then; no blue screen. You were watching him run around, seemingly smacking people with a beam of light. They'd have to put in a close-up to show dismemberment, so that there'd be a shot of the lightsaber, a shot of someone screaming, and then a limb falling in another shot. It's mess up the scene.

They were using the standerd DC-15 blaster rifle, the standerd isssue weapon for every clone trooper wink
