if it was like a blaster(the deathstar beam)would it be able to be deflected by a lightsaber blade

Considering the fact that the Death Star's Superlaser (not hyperbeam) is thousands of times the size of man, it'd probably just incinerate the handle.

if it was the size of a BLASTER BEAM

mmmmmmmmmm then it would just be regular blasterfire.

Yeah, don't really know what you're getting at.

had a thought

You know those lazers that the clones use in aotc that seem to be a continuous beam of light instead of typical blasterfire? can a lightsaber block that?

ya i think so

back to my question would the power of the superlaser concentrated into a 1'x3' bolt of fire would be enough to probubly break the light saber
serious question

not sure, because there are no real physics to any of the star wars weapons. If they were just two beams of light, like they are supposed to be, they would just go right through each other. Light doesnt reflect off of light. So there is really no way to find out.

oh............s*it well thats the end of th thred ppls cya

Lightsabers are more than just light, they're concentrated energy. The name just sounds neat.

And to your question, that's an incredibly vast amount of energy compacted there, the superlaser alone is already unbelievably powerful. I suppose so, Luke didn't seem to have much trouble deflecting the blasts from the speeder bikes, and I'm pretty sure they're stronger than normal blasters.

I'd say so, but whatever it hit afterwards would explode taking the planet with it.

Luke has been seen deflecting the cannonfire of AT-AT cannons in Dark Empire, and I believe those are significantly more powerful than most things in the Star Wars arsenal.

But if we're going to say that the Death Star beam has been compacted to the size of an AT-AT blast, then yeah, that amount of energy might shut off the lightsaber due to the strain.

A better question would be is there any Jedi who would be able to deflect it? Cause that much force compacted into that small of a laser, well once it hit the blade would prolly tear the wielder's arms off.

well light imparts no kinetic energy upon impact.

well light imparts no kinetic energy upon impact. That is light. The Death Star laser has enough kinetic energy to shatter a planet. Yeah, I would say there is kinetic energy there.

Light and Star Wars blasters are not the same thing, after all.

of course when ever i say its not light, its plasma, i get laughed outa the room lmao

Well, that is because it is not plasma. It is a form of energy.

omg!! the sw blasters shoot carbohydrates!

bad fer diabetics...lol....

lmao
