Is cortosis cool? Does it deserve to be official?

| Ehh... I guess, but if Boba Fett or some other popular character gets cortosis armor and is immune to sabers, I'll be mad. |

| What's the point? Lightsabers are quasi-religious. Allowing cortosis is like neutering God. |

Authors seem to have the "how do i content with this" problem. thats why you get stuff like cortosis. a jedi master with lightsaber vs. some bounty hunter with a blaster isnt a whole lot of a battle, barring that bounty hunter being Boba Fett, i guess. now, instead of giving every new bounty hunter a jet pack to help evade lightsabers, they give them something resistant to them, thus hurting the mythos behind the lightsaber. its lazy, i agree.
the only point i may back up an author on is this: "how do you make an interesting fight against a jedi master?" you either pit them against a load of people with blasters, or you put them against another dark jedi or whatever you want to refer to them as. thats really about it. sure, maybe Boba Fett can hang, but supposedly Jango was one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy and we saw how far that got him against Mace Windu. As old as Boba has to be at this point, I can't imagine him being as effective against as difficult an opponent as any jedi higher than beginning padawan. but you cant have everyone be a dark jedi, or have a an entire entourage of blaster carrying cannon fodder. I hate hate hate hate the idea of cortosis and anything that dulls lightsabers and the Force, aside from other lightsabers and other Force users. Unfortunately, I dont know the solution, short of getting rid of all that garbage, which doesnt seem likely.

Well, for a start, people should stop using Jedi Masters as protagonists- an enemy like Jango can give a much better fight against a mid-ranking Jedi.
Secondly, using technology to fight Jedi can be far better explored than 'lightsabre resistant armour'. Durge in the Clone Wars shorts was just fine.

Ok well i think this should really be wraped up. as it has been said a number of times "Cortosis is a RARE lightsaber RESISTING material" keywords there rare and resisting. this means it wouldnt appear all over the place and it would only resist lightsabers. As to say like in JK2:JO the armor would only defend against glancing blows. You score a decent hit and there out of there. So it has my support. It would ad an interesting twist to the Star Wars world, making more feared foes. Oh and not to gun down your ideas or anything but you cant have a cortosis sword since the material is brittle and only RESISTS lightsabers. a saber blow would slice straight through it and be useless. Oh and force clouding weapons. sorry but not gonna happen. the force is generated through the force user interacting with midiclorians (prob spelt wronfg but this is not my point). these flow through all LIVING things so a weapon (which isnt alive) would not have this ability. Also it is implied that only a sith lord can cloud the vision of the force at multiple instances since they are the only ones powerful enough!

Did the cortosis resist the lightsabers? I thought they made the lightsabers turn themselves off. That's at least what happend in the Hand of Thrwan duology.
