just figured i'd paste this since we are on the subject.
i will leave out the poster's identity for their sake:
"Oh dear…Okay, I’m joining this group to set a few things strait. You don’t have to listen to me I don’t suppose, because I’m not a expert on star wars, but I’m a big fan and I don’t have a phd in physics, but I’m working on it. First a little pet peeve, yes lightsabers do cut and are made of energy…but Light DOES cut, high intensity beams of light (lasers) do cut, and it is the cutting in part that generates the heat and not the heat that does the cutting (that is the reason they burn some materials, but cut others). Now, lightsabers underwater, a lightsaber’s blade is made of pure energy (presumably in the form of electrical plasma) focused by a crystal and buffered in an electromagnetic containment field being emitted from the magnetic projection plate. For standard use it is being used in a low density environment (air), and in this environment it generates no heat, therefore expending no energy, and losing no charge. If it were being used in a high density environment (water) a simple modification of lowering the cycling rate of the blade (how often the energy completes a circuit) and increasing the electromagnetic field strength would compensate for the density difference and enable use of the weapon. This is of course assuming that basic physics applies to lightsaber operation as modified in this way!"
my jaw dropped when i read this.
all i can say is...lets not go down this road.
for the sake of mankind and all that is descent and holy,
let us not debate the science of lightsabers 😱

i can see the supershadow site now:
"it has been confirmed that palpatine will have a black lightsaber, after repeated suggesting to GL from myself."

Hilarious! Nice job!
that is a lie if i ever heard one
ss has to be the biggest liar on the planet

I am gonna be the odd woman out here and say Id rather not even see him use one.........I'd like to think his powers went far beyond a lightsaber therefore he'd have no use for one. But thats just my preference.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaamen to that sista.😎
but it would be kool if he could make his force lightning into a saber shape or something, then fight with that. 💃
