Seeing how lightsabers work, they "cut" through stuff by actually melting it reeeaaaally fast.
I know what the state of melting is. I just thought about that me and Ryo might've had different views of the level of the process at hand.
I'm talking about melting what of Mercer's body the lightsaber touches. Came to realise that Ryo might have talked about melting the entire body in a single touch.
I'm not even talking about melting. I was just wondering if it had any kind of different effect than blunt force on biomass at all. For all I know, the heat from the light saber could burn the part of the biomass where it was sliced off and he couldn't regenerate from that part.
I doubt that's what would actually happen, but it was just a question.
Here's the vid of the nuke bit (First click and I found it straight away)

Its about 7 minutes in.
A few hours at most but can't tell how long it took.

Liek you said many times.Irrelevant.
A nuke explosion would have slightly more effect than a few lightsaber strikes.
Not irrelevant.
There's more power in a lightsaber than a nuclear strike. If the nuclear bomb gave out the same level of force that a lightsaber does in it's little area, there wouldn't be any ruins left.

Proof?Also if that's true then its condensed to a few strikes, sure it will cut him but he will heal easily.
Proof of what? The destructive power of a lightsaber in comparison to a nuclear blast? A lightsaber melts stone, steel and bone where it touches as if it's nothing. A nuclear blast leaves ruins.
Luke Skywalker stated that if the heat of the lightsaber was not contained in the forcefield, it would dissolve the Jedi in an instant, leaving only ashes behind.
That's enough for a clever man to agree with me.
A few hours doesn't sound like "easily" to me.
Time doesn't mean hard.
Also I said AT MOST.
Theres no reason to say it took hours, just saying thats the maximum time.
That door didn't go easy. Qui took a while and rather slowly.
Even if it was, its irrelevant. Its hitting certain parts not a whole body. Sure it can do damage but that's what Alex goes through non stop. No reason why something that would do a bit more damage to him would it make a different.
