Lightsabers and water

How incredible does that sound?? I can't wait to see something like that.

wasn't the obi-wans lightsabers not working because its wet in a deleted scene?
It would be a bit impractical for a Jedis only weapon not to function just because it got wet.

his sabre in AOTC got quite a splash while he fought Jango and it still worked

The sabres still worked when OB1 and Qui Gon swam down to the Gungan city

good point 😄 perhaps covered?

I think they only get busted when you turn them on in a different medium. there was rain on kamino but the medium was still air.

The deleted scene specifically mentioned that activating a sabre underwater caused it to burn out and require a recharge.

We shall see if Episode III makes this clearly not so.

that means the greater the density of the medium, the greater the powerloss of a standard light saber. Kit Fisto's got some special crystals in his.

as far as I know, Kit Fisto never used it under water

It doesn't mean anything we can discern at all; it is Star Wars science.

in clone wars he used a lightsaber underwater with a very funky blade

Which scene was that

We know that, DJ, but that is EU.

God I'm sick of all this EU/non-EU crap! I feel like I'm on trial in every f^&king thread. Everything I've read or seen so far having to do with the events during or preceding the clone wars has been absolutely brilliant and I will use it as evidence as I see fit. this whole EU schism that the mods are creating is a bunch of bullsh&*t. The movies are seen as a firsthand account and everything else is a second hand interpretation, therefore EU may not be entirely accurate but if it is approved by Lucasarts, it retells an event that supposedly happend in the context of the star wars timeline but in a way that is not as accurate as the films. The only thing that is completely bogus and should be treated as EU is treated now are the infinities, the young reader starwars books (the ones with palpy's 3-eyed son), the marvel tales that don't make any sense, and anything else that is completely irrelevant. so far, apart from one marvel comic, nothing having to do with the Clone Wars falls under this tag. So it's all fair game as far as I'm concerned. If that bothers you, you have the right to freedom choice, don't read my post.

DJ, those are the rules of the game and you are in no position to change them.

so, instead of you thinking you can change them when you see fit, you have to accept these rules or just post in the EU-section

DJ, calm the heck down. The rules are clearly posted. If you cannot follow those rules, then it is you who should not post- simple as that.

Incidentally, I suggest you re-read that rules thread and look up the difference between EU and non-canon before going on a rant like that- likewise the difference between Lucasarts and Lucasfilm. You attempt to say some things are not EU- even if you were right about their legitimacy, which you are not, they would still be EU.

EU sources are not acceptable as fact in these sections, in consistency with Lucasfilm policy. Any erroneous attempt to portray such material as fact will be rebuffed. End of story. Deal with that.

This is an argument about a fictional plotline. I'll do as I wish

You will follow the rules of the board, DJ. Do not test us on that.

When does he get yelled at for getting it wet? I don't remember that.... 😮

It's in a scene that was cut from the movie. I'm just thrilled that we've stooped to the kind of bickering that gives Star Trek fans a bad name.
