speaking of tfn, if you guys want to see how lame those guys are, read this thread😄http://boards.theforce.net/Fan_Films/b10015/19154643/?135
they are so lame! they are arguing over how a lightsaber works.........losers!
its not just TFN. you have forced me to post this shameful chapter in KMC history:
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!
