It's not the color of your lightsaber that matter

And he has a forum too, hehehe, could have some fun. 😂

The problem is of course that we look at it from our (limited?) scientific POV's. Science in SW is totally unknown and when it isn't it EU. But it would be fun to speculate how one could make one. Now, who has any decent in-depth scientific knowledge, let's make a draft alternative and send it to this guy, saying he's all wrong.

LOL, you just wanna upset someone don't you. 😂

Yep. When you're that seriously in-depth on a fairty-tale weapon, it's time to wake up. 😂

<starts crying>

*pats JM on the shoulder*

There, there. You're a big boy now. It's time you found out: SW is not real. 😂

Does anyone remember that report on TF.N about the "real laser swords" ???

I haven't seen that, but there is a book called "The Science of Star Wars" and its pretty interesting. It just talks about what things in the SW are and are not possible.

Oh, I heard of that one yeah. Well this article was late last year and showed how they made this "sword" using plasma or something. It wasn't a light sward as such cos it had a slid central element.

Cool. So it had a rod that gave light. I have two, they're made of plastic.

But seriously, did it cut things or just give light?

<bawls> I can't stop crying, Queeq, you big meanie-head

There are four problems with coming up with a theory for sabres that will embarrass that guy:

1. You will note that he has removed his e-mail addrwss from the site because people kept flaming him, and I don't think we want to start a precedent by muscling in on his (equally weird) forum. He doesn't strike as as the sort who listends to people, anyway.

2. The guy has pretty much all the bases covered, science-wise

3. I rather like his theories... on the sabres, anyway. He is less clear elsewhere.

4. If anyone has as much time on his hands as that man MUST do, there is a problem somewhere. That said, I do.

Still, if someone can come up with a good idea, I wouldn't mind puncturing his smugness a little.

it's not only because GL has created ranks for the lightsabers and jedi, but, green, blue, and red are actually very dull colors otherwise.

And the only reason the green came along was because blue didn't show up against the sky in ROTJ...

I don't want Star Wars to be a three color world(lightsaber wise, that is).

Mind you, it is POSSIBLE to justify the use of the colours by rank, but only if you accept a couple of what-ifs...

If we assume Red is bad guy, Blue is Knight and Green is Master...

Obi-Wan is using a Blue sabre an ANH. But did he actually ever become a Master? The Jedi were wiped out when he was very young for Masterhood, so he may well have never had a chance, and he refers tom himself as a Knight rathee than a Master. Hence his blue sabre.

And Luke's green sabre in ROTJ... well, you have to go with the "it's made out of Qui-Gon's" theory.

But it is all rather tenuous. Rumour has it that Obi-Wan DOES become a Master, despite his age, during the Prequel trilogy. And the Qui-Gon's sabre thing is totally guesswork

There might be a thing in the meaning of these colours.

Red= masculine, aggressive, passionate, blood
Blue= feminine, calm, pacified, balanced
Green= Calm, natural, soothing

Maybe the colours say more about the characters than and the nature of the Jedi. Also they are complementary colours so they match well together when they fight.

who cares if they match?? I don't even think they can pick the color.

I think queeq's got a point..it might be more about matching personality...

how does that make sense??
