Lightsaber versus Adamantium....

YouTube video

At 5:45, Qui Gon slices through the blast doors. More doors close, and the saber does less cutting. Qui Gon lets the saber simply melt the metal.

Just how dense is adamantium, anyway?

SW ships get destroyed all the time, explosions and such.

You really don't the blast doors have a "virtually indestructible" value to them?

So if there is a block of solid adamantium on the ground, and a Jedi ignites his saber and places the blade on it, leaves it there, does it melt? If not right away, then after a while?

No, no, no. I meant this as kind've a visual aid, if you will. Like if this particular alloy is far less than adamantium, then could a saber, in fact, slice through?

They can withstand multiple blasts with firepower equivalent to millions of atomic bombs.

Yeah, and a lightsaber still cut through it, albeit with difficulty...

Proof?

Also, why aren't the entire ships made of this super-duper stuff, what is it?

Star Wars Episode II Incredible Cross-Sections (SW2ICS)

According to this (unofficial) Star Wars site (that gets numbers directly from the above):

http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/FiveMinutes.html

Note the Shield heat dissipation: 70 trillion GW peak

To be honest, it hasn't been proven that a lightsaber can cut through a star destroyer's hull, however, tank armor and such have.

Again, if we're bringing outside sources other than the films, 616 adamantium is indestructible. With the exception of molecular tampering by god-like forces, ie Thanos.

Rob is right. 616 adamantium is nigh indestructible.

If you're going to use examples, try to stick with movie feats, please.

But this is where it gets hazy, it is indestructible to things in THIS universe, there's nothing that compares to a lightsaber in THIS universe.

He can manipulate it, don't think he can destroy is as Thanos has with that stupid glove.

But Magneto is also one seriously powerful mother****er.

Technically, Thanos turned Wolvie's adamantium into spongy runner, IIRC.

He did so at the molecular level and he do so while being the master of time, space, soul, mind, power and reality. ie god-like.

Thanos would use a lightsabre as a toothpick.

Thanos is a jobber 😄 😛

I don't care for the character.

Does anyone else think this is like debating what happens when an unstoppable force hits an unmovable object?

Films only, nothing has stopped a saber.
Films only, nothing has damaged adamantium.

Agreed.

Personally, I declare it as an impasse.
