Darth Bane Runs The Gauntlet!

simple concepts elude simple people.

Could it be that these are TWO COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT CONCEPTS?!

He broke a Sith Sword. Those can't be cut by lightsabers.

Sith Sword is most probably weaved by cortois or something, because it's not energy powered.

Think of KOTOR's normal sword 😉

Can you give me the name of the Comic Ludo was in, so I can check?

Golden Age of the Sith.

My point doth stand, though. Moreover, are you really going to tell me that the Sith Empire, isolated from the galaxy had any access to cortosis ore or weave, which'd be found fatr, far away?

They used alchemy on their weapons

Exactly, they used Alchemy on their swords and it's unlikely that Ludo used it on his sword when he broke it.

Wait, thats the one where in teh beginning they introduce Battle Meditation, right?

So if they didn't have any of that stuff it prooved my point that Orbalisk armor can only be broken by something more powerful then a lightsaber, so efcourse it can't be broken by a fist.

Youre missing lightsnake's point. They created their swords with sith alchemy, so it's not like you can turn it off and on, it's there indefinitely.

Okey, so if Orbelisk armor was made from Sith alchemy, such as the kind Exar Kun could do, won't Sith Alchemy withstand a punch O_o

Orbalisks are natural creatures as is...they weren't created by Bane.

Considering impact and energy are two very different things, there's no real controversy

and here:

They only turn on when the purple sith magic gets brought around them.

Orbalisks are small parasites and they have very protective shells around them, which results in the armor. I don't think a lightsaber or a punch would make alot of difference, because this isn't a "forcefield" were talking about.

again: The durability of orbalisks were never, ever, ever tested to any great extent

DS, that's called darkside energies surrounding the ancient sith. Their swords were forged through sith alchemy already. Understand that.

Easy. The Ancient sith didn't use lightsabers, instead they used sith swords forged from sith alchemy and resistant to lightsabers.

Post the picture where a sith DOES parry a lightsaber. (It is somewhere where the ancients fight jedi)
If it shines, and has that field of energy around it, DS is right, if not, he's not....

The orbalisks are a different case than cortosis or sith alchemy, it's not an energy thing, as can clearly be seen when it has the same effect on a giant bird's claws as it does on a lightsaber. There's nothing to suggest that the orbalisks have any weaknesses like the chrystal that Mace was able to shatter, and considering that they're darkside creatures, I doubt it. Mace will not be able to punch through them, and Bane will not give him the opportunity to try. That's ridiculous to say. There's also the fact that the CW cartoon jedi are ridiculously overpowered in comparison to what the movies show us, and their skill and ability should be treated as inconsistencies. And really, even if Mace had actually punched through durasteel, that isn't even a testament to his physical strength, but the fact that he sensed some sort of weakness in the battled droid's armour. Bane on the other hand was pretty much as physically strong as humans get, he was a giant, described as a 'mountain of muscle', and had spent his whole life doing constant hard labour in the mines. The constant beatings he received from his father as well as the constant brawls he went through would have made him pretty strong too. Now the fact that even without the force or anything, he's as strong as he is, add in the force, as well as the orbalisks, and he's definitely stronger than Mace.
