Lightsabers and water

Well if it help's "am sorry dragonx"

Wouldnt you just electrocute yourself if you were able to ignite a lightsaber under water?

I guess that is GL's call for the logic on, again. Hard to accurately assume anything.

Correct, especially where GL is concerned, most anything is unpredictable.

I can't believe you guys are having a debate about a fictional piece of technology.

What was your source Darth Jello.

🤨

Well, wouldnt you???

The things electric, isnt it?

it's electric?

damn that'd take a super long cord dontcha think? 😉

Batteries, power cells, whatever.

'Electric' may be the worng word, but I still figure you'd get electrocuted.

Yeah with all this said, technology is Star Wars is how you say.....imaginery. Tell me how one manages to create a "hyperdrive" system that propels "spaceships" to the speed of light. Answer me that and the point of lightsabers being able to work underwater would seem pointless.

Isn't that what's happening in almost EVERY THREAD here?

At any rate, allow me to end this discussion. 😉

Despite being called "lightsabers", Lucas will sometimes refer to them as "laser swords". Now, I know for a fact that a laser can be fired under water with no ill consequences at all. It's just light. I don't see massive explosions or electrocutions every time the sun shines through the ocean, either.

I presume that the same could be said for a lightsaber as well, if in fact they did exist.

Next topic, please.

Jeez, I dont know why so many people are trying to end a perfectly ridiculous discussion with 'sense' and 'logic'.

You might be able to fire a beam of light into water, but what if the machine that was shooting the beam were also underwater? A laser emitter (or a lightsaber hilt) would have to have a power source of some kind, right?

So you could ignite a saber INTO the water, but not UNDERWATER.

some flashlights are water-resistant.
Maybe the hilt is sealed.

Yeah, there would be no problem at all igniting a saber into the water. It shows that in Episode 2 (not quite into the water) But Obi-Wan does use his saber in the rain on Kamino.

water would have no effect on a light sabre as it is pure energy! It would merely glow through the water and repell any water immediately around it.

Here's my idea for the underwater fight...
Anakin & Jar- Jar get ina fight, it gets under water, and he zaps Jar- Jar's head off. THE PERFECT ENDING

" Your father, I am."

one of the clone wars cartoon ep you see kit-fisto with a lightsaber
under water
