he didn't

About the door thing , their was actual resistance their , the blade didn't slice cleanly inwards , from the look of it , it was being rammed inwards by qui-gon...........

It took a heck of a long time for those blades to cut through the doors.

He was having to force them thorugh, with visible effort.

If they could cut anything easily, then he'd use no effort at all - they'd simply slice through as easily as moving through air.

Lightsabres are very overrated.

To answer the question I think that they can.

It would take a hell of a lot of time and the jedi is likely to die of old age but eventually they would.

not that it would make any difference in a battle.

Don't wolverines claws deflect Silver samurais tachyon sword that can cut through anything. Aren't tachyons faster then light?

If you notice in that scene he's cutting through the first doors fairly easily, then he senses (hears.... whatever) the blast doors close

At that point he shoves his saber further in (with no effort) but we don't see it come the whole way through the other side

I think it took so long to get through those blast doors because the lightsaber wasn't actually cutting the whole door, it didn't reach the whole way through, so he had to keep it in place longer until the parts he couldn't reach melted off..... which gave the bad guys enough time to call in battle droids with shields

works for me

Depends on what color lightsabre.
And also, the paramolecular oscillation-conversion dynamics of the adamantium.

depends on the color? i don't think different colored lightsabers are actually different frequencies, are they?

any structure weighing anywhere close to 300 trillion pounds would've collapsed to rubble and memory under its own weight. not so much a feat as overexaggeration meeting bad writing. shit, it wouldn't even need to weigh close to that. a fraction of a percent of that weight would crumble. and bracing a certain amount of weight doesn't imply you can truly lift it, either.

not that i give two shits about hulk, but that's just a stupid thing to take seriously. really it is.

300 trillion? where the hell did you get that number??

It was 150 BILLION tons. He actually didn't lift it. He just braced it for a while.

150,000,000,000 [150 billion] times 2,000 [the amount of lbs in a ton.]

300,000,000,000,000 pounds. three hundred trillion pounds.

The weight on the Hulk was never measured..... it was just a high number the writers thought of to make the cover look more exciting:

of course, the real feat of this scene is from Iron Man:

(just had to get that in there)

😄

so, hulk's not really holding that much weight at all, only whatever's directly above the hole he and stark managed to make. had i known it only said "150 billion" on the cover, a non-canon source o' information, i wouldn't have bothered doing the math.

also, iron man blows out the entire side of a mountain, and it doesn't collapse? and ya still thought it was a good source to tap for hulk's "true" strength?

Exactly

Its fanboy vs. fanboy. In the movies only magnetic fields, forcefields, and energy weapons like Grievous' guards used stopped the blades. Cortosis is EU and not considered canon by many.

I love to hear everyone's arguement about Adamantium, but the fact is that nobody ever provides evidence or explanations on how it achieves its ridiculously unrealistic properties.

Ack! Double post

no...and Juggernaut would use a lightsaber as a toothpick.

*waits for the jedi fanboys to retaliate*

How did I let this thread stay open this long??

Part of me wants to see someone refute WD...just for the humor value. But no...this sort of thing never leads anywhere good.
