If lightsabers existed, would they be the most OP melee weapons

>beam of light
Striking another beam of light from another light saber, it would simply pass thru it
Beam could be a mile long since no blade weight, cutting down everything in its way

>>28523677
lol ???

>>28523579
Only semi practical way a light saber could work is like the beam katana from No More heroes(atleast the base one with the extender that stops the beam.

Not if it was made of magnetically confined plasma. Then they would repulse each other.
Plasma is positive charge. Magnetic field would be positive. Repulsing another blade, requiring a great deal of force to impact.

Also rate my lightsaber.

lack of weight would be a liability. Lack of any sort of handguard or protection would be further liability (even if the other beam of light could be blocked by yours, just slide the beam down the haft and cut their fingers off). Plus without the Force you couldn't block or deflect shit. It might be better than a knife, except that its a giant humming flashlight so you'd get no stealth factor. As a sort of military cutting tool for carving open tanks or some such it might work.

can it resist a nuke?

>>28523579
It would be incredibly difficult to master
>one false move and you've amputated your limb, not even a cut to warn you
>super light, so very difficult to use physics to predict where the end of the blade is

Those two reasons alone make it harder to wield than any bladed sword

>>28523706
lightsabers stick to each other when two beams contact each other, so you cant slide them together

>>28523732
If the blade was made of a dense plasma, then it should have a good portion of the equivalent weight of water.

>>28523706
This anon raises good points. Although in melee combat, it would be OP as fuck, considering the only thing that can block it is another light saber. The only action would could take is running/dodging. And the one wielding the lightsaber wouldn't need much skill. Just to basically touch their opponent with little force required
One would only have to worry about being shot, if no one else was wielding one as well.

>>28523767
then pull back slightly and slide down

>>28523579
Would be cool to carry one around for breaching. Need to get into a home? Don't want to go through the front door? Don't want to set off a huge blast that lets everyone know you're coming? Cut a hole in their wall.

>>28523579
I see it working better as a bayonet, make it half the length of a regular lightsaber blade and you have a fearsome weapon.

>>28523796
Only have to worry about being shot

>only

That's a pretty big fucking worry if your effective reach is 2 meters....

>>28523579
Yea they would.

With more hand protection they'd be the most OP melee weapon in fiction too.

Rens Crossguard one had they made the most of the crossguard in the film would probably be up there.

>>28523732
It's pretty skill-less actually, since you don't need force at all you can pretty wildly and very quickly perform strikes only using your wrist

Just like a firearm or conventional blade, you're taught not to ever point it as someone and especially not at yourself. As long as you're not retarded, a little discipline and you're fine.

>super light, so very difficult to use physics to predict where the end of the blade is

Going off point #1, Count Dooku's lightsaber should negate both your reasons. Not only does its natural curve keep it pointing away from you, you can use its shape to keep an idea of where it's pointed to as well.

>Those two reasons alone make it harder to wield than any bladed sword

Is harder to wield? Probably, but it's benefits enormously make up for its higher difficulty curve.

As long as it balances toward where the blade comes out of, you wouldn't even notice the difference between a lightsaber and a really light sword.

>>28523976

Dooku had the best lightsaber.

The fights in the films are very silly, though. So inefficient, especially for a weapon with those properties.

>>28523706
>lack of weight would be a liability
According to conventional melee training, yes. But if you trained specifically with a lightsaber (and keep in mind, that means you could train with just a piece of metal projecting a harmless basic laser) there's little reason to imagine we wouldn't be capable of manipulating it properly.

Obviously, it's not going to be practical in modern combat. But for melee combat it's incredible.

>>28526611
Yes. There's cortosis ore, which can do whatever the writer wants with a lightsaber. Usually it's used in vibroswords or armor to stop a lightsaber, but in its pure form in the ground it overloads the lightsaber and shuts it down.

Have you never played KotOR or seen episode 7 yet? Without the force, someone wielding a Lightsaber is just that. Someone wielding a Lightsaber. Yeah, it cuts through most materials with ease and there isn't just a "sharp" side to the blade. But someone who is skilled in the use of a sword or some other melee weapon can take on someone has a Lightsaber and little or less proficiency with their weapon than the other person. Of course, this is assuming that their weapon is made of a material resistant to a Lightsaber blade (cortosis, mandalorian iron, etc.) or exerts some kind or energy or force that repels it.

Without the use of force abilities and the kind of foresight force-users possess, a Lightsaber is just a fancy sword that cuts really good.

It does no good against blasters or other ranged weapons either if you can't sense where exactly the bolt will be be at at any given fraction of a second and lack the reflexes to deflect it.

>>28523579

This is retarded

Why is there no dagger version of a lightsaber. use some handwavy jumbo to make it quieter and it'd be a god tier assassin weapon

Lightsabers are BAMF weapons in star wars because 90% of the baddies wield blasters, that fire energy dart/beams/bolts/things at a snail's pace.

Lightsaber VS normal steel sword: Draw, you could cut the other guy's sword apart, but attempting to block just means you get the laser-cut molten edge of a half-sword embedded in your gut.

Lightsaber VS any normal gun: Gun wins. You cannot swing that shit fast enough to swipe incoming bullets from the air. Even the damn Jedi couldn't.

>>28527476
>Lightsaber VS any normal gun: Gun wins. You cannot swing that shit fast enough to swipe incoming bullets from the air. Even the damn Jedi couldn't.

Pretty sure this used to be canon but don't know if it is anymore with the reboot. I remember reading something about Mandalorians using really dense slugs that couldn't be stopped by lightsabers when they were going up against Jedi or Sith rather than using blasters.

>>28523925
That's why we said in melee combat.

It is a huge concern, but the only concern really. That or being bombed.
On the battlefield you'd probably have a ranged primary weapon. But in close quarters/melee only situations? Unless the enemy has one too, you+light saber is OP as fuck

There's the key word. There are materials that lightsabers straight up can't cut, and there's at least one material that'll short a lighsaber on contact.

I'd still buy one though.

Those materials are the most rare in the galaxy, anon.

What's interesting is how these would change breaching tactics. It still takes Mace Windu several seconds to cut through this fuck huge blast door but the thickness of it would stop anything short of a specialized tank shell otherwise.

>>28523579
If lightsabers existed they would immediately become welding and plasma cutting implements and people would look at you the way they would if you were like "Hey I wanna have a chainsaw for home defense" and they'd be all "that's a tool for people who couldn't get into college and the immigrants I pick up at home depot."

A cortosis blade it's nothing when you are a force user.

Actually a lightsaber would be the most aggressive gun against people that don't have them. It would be a gun for attacking, so I wouldn't be trying to block his attack, I would try to hit him faster.
Unless the guy has a lightsaber, then both guys would be fighting like in the movies.

>>28529065
If you can get someone close to a tank they can reduce it to scrap metal in seconds.

>>28529065
I agree. The only downside would be losing the element of suprise from a c4/shotgun but people still use battering rams so it's a direct step up from those.

Honestly if you got to tinker with one instead of limiting it to movie version you could just create a 10lb version that'd slice through steel like butter but be too big to use as anything else.

>>28523579
i think that light sabers are persistant blaster blasts, consistent and confined light

Does anyone see a problem here? Obviously too simple, but I think it could work some way.

It would truly be THE MOST dangerous weapon of all time if the physics were true. However we aren't very far from having a weapon similar to a lighsaber. When NASA space crafts re-enter Earth's atmosphere the craft has to withstand immense amounts of heat in order to keep the astronauts from burning to death. They achieve this by using a ceramic able too withstand the conditions. This is how the weapon will work. Ceramic cylinders will come out just like a toy lighsaber however it will have small holes for plasma to come out of the sides of the cylinders. To make it rap around all you need is a magnetic coil around the holes in a uniform pattern in order to dispers the plasma equally. So yeah...not that far away from having a bad ass weapon for a more civilized age.

They're only called "light" sabers because light is easier to work into a name than plasma.

>>28523677
Not light. Plasma.

>>28523579
The weightless blade and gyroscopic affect in the hilt make them very awkward tow weird, because they don't react how a sword "should" react (I'm not making it up, it's canon...was canon...) This is why few non-force users can use them anywhere near a level as a trained force sensitive.

I suppose if you get the angles right and they strike your blade, the melted metal of your blade could hit them and give you a few seconds to make a move

>>28530380
I tried FF and Chrome, worked better in Chrome but not great. Might be my browsers not handling HW acceleration with dual-GPUs though

No, they would be fucking terrible. They're borderline weightless, which means actually using one without the Force would lead to you just cutting yhe shit out of yourself. They also cauterize wounds instantly, making them less effective in combat even if you cut someone in fucking half (Darth Maul).
Also, if Lightsabers did start being a thing then we'd just start building important objects out of the materials Lightsabers can't cut.
On top of that, Lightsabers can't deflect bullets, only blaster plasma.

It's not a plasma Saber, it's a light saber. That's why you need a crystal.
Plasma is stupid.

>>28523579
It's be the most stupid weapon. First of all, there's no weight to the blade. This is actually bad, considering the weapon can cut through human flesh in micro-seconds, and one lazy swipe will slash somebody clean in two. This means that the weight that would normally indicate where your blade was in a standard steel sword is no longer there, removing one of your senses in sword fighting, which is the ability to treat the sword as an extension of yourself through the feeling of the weight.

Secondly, because all the weight is distributed purely to the handle, which we can assume is light as fuck, it makes it very prone to spinning. This is very bad, considering the considerable damage it can do. One wrong flourish or parry, and you've lopped your own leg off.

Thirdly, even is you spent a godly amount of time with this weapon, training for decades, you would STILL eventually cause an accident to yourself with it. It is inevitable, due to the design and operation of the device. The only way jedi's avoid this is due to their pre-cognition abilities to determine the path of the blade and reflexively move out of the way. You don't have this.

In short, it's an incredibly shoddy melee weapon, not in terms of power, but in terms of usability. Give a man a sword, and at least he won't chop his own arm off with it, and he can still hack wildly away at people or stab violently. give a man a lightsaber and he'll decapitate himself, sever his own limbs or cauterize his stomach.

Even master swordsman still have times where their blades touch their bodies. this is usually fine as the sword is either single edged or it's the flat of the blade. A lightsaber has no flat, only flesh melting pain.

Actually older canon EU (and even stuff as recent as TCW) states that Lightsaber hilts are pretty damn heavy and have a built-in gyroscope mechanism to keep them from twirling too easily and act as a pommel/counterbalance.

I don't pay much attention to the canon of Star Wars, but always happy to learn something new, even if it proves me partially wrong.

I always wondered why someone just wouldn't use a shotgun as the ultimate anti-jedi weapon. Seriously, some 00 buckshot out of a 12ga and that Jedi is fucked. The projectiles are travelling faster than blaster shots seem to travel. There's many projectiles all travelling slightly different paths. They're solid, meaning at most you could put your lightsaber in they way and vaporize them, but they won't be deflected.

>BAM
>several 00 buckshots flying towards jedi
>swings lightsaber to deflect
>catches 2-3 shots on it, they vaporize in the beam
>rest smash into the jedi
>this kills the jedi

Now arm a whole anti-jedi squad of stormtroopers with these weapons and you're golden

>>28531532
A jedi would sense the shots coming anyways and just Force them out of the way, hell Kylo Ren does that to a blaster bolt in TFA.
Plus, pretty much all armor that anyone wears stop conventional ballistic "slug-throwers" which is why they're so uncommon.

>>28531552
yes, for the first time in star wars, we see a jedi stop a blaster bolt midair. One shot. That travels relatively slow.

Somehow I think a jedi would have trouble stopping 6 stormtroopers firing semi-auto 12ga at them.

I've also never really got that about star wars. The only people that wear armor are stormtroopers, and it's fucking shit against blasters, which even peasants on shit-tier planets have. It's not like how police wear ballistic vests that stop everything short of rifle cartridges because they will pretty much never encounter a criminal firing a rifle at them. Stormtroopers would be encountering blasters fucking everywhere, and their armor is useless. The rebels don't wear armor, and it's not like they die any easier to blaster fire. It's also made clear that stormtrooper armor heavily restricts movement and vision.

idk, I just never liked how it seemed pointless.

>>28531589
Just google Slugthrower. Jedi would get hit all the time. They weren't energy based to they couldn't be deflected by a lightsaber. However, looking at how a jedi sentinel plays in SWTOR, they can easily manipulate plenty of incoming projectiles with the Force.

>>28531589
Canonically, the armor is actually outstanding against blasters, rated like an AR500 is against AP 30-06. The problem is the Lucas is a hack and wanted the rebels to fucking destroy everything. The first movie, when you see the stormtroopers board Leia's ship? That's EXACTLY what stormtroopers are like, canonically. Hardcore motherfuckers that rape everything within sight.

>>28531589
The stormtrooper white armor was based off the Kamino people, who only saw in infered or something.

>>28531589
>Somehow I think a jedi would have trouble stopping 6 stormtroopers firing semi-auto 12ga at them.
Well you're completely wrong, so that's neat.

Part of the Jedi creed is that they intentionally limit their powers. Most Jedi can probably stop blaster bolts and even faster shots, they choose to use the Lightsaber instead. Kylo Ren is the first Sith/Dark Jedi we've seen that wasn't previously a full-fledged Jedi so he clearly doesn't care for that custom.

Hell, later in TFA he only blocks Rey's blaster shots manually to intimidate her.

You have to be one massive fucking Fudd to believe that your granpappy's Remington is going to put down a Jedi

>>28531619
>canonically
meh. I've never been much concerned with the whole expanded universe thing. The way I see it, stormtrooper armor is the way it is in the movies. Even in that opening sequence, they get several of themselves killed, and they're only fighting the crew of a ship that's only armed with blaster pistols.

I also don't see how Lucas can be a hack of the canon that he created. expanded universe stuff created after his movies can't then call him a hack for not agreeing with stuff that was made up afterwards....

>>28531619
Also, the fan theory that the Stormtroopers were under orders to NOT kill Luke, Leia or the Droids is pretty solid given how Empire and RotJ play out.

>>28531619
>Canonically
No, it's not good. Stormtrooper armor is canonically shit

Oh, lightsabers actually burn a lot hotter then that you moron.

>>28534105
Well, in universe it makes sense for the Jedi. It's primarily a defensive weapon for them, unlike a blaster. And for Sith it's the ultimate expression of being so powerful you don't have to use ranged weapons.

>>28534122
360 degrees as in the blade cuts at every angle of incidence, not temperature, buddy.

Don't you need the force to be able to use one to its potential? You couldn't block any projectiles or do any cool Jedi shit with it so it's basically just a really good sword

>>28535264
Yea but you could say that about any weapon. A force assisted clairvoyant will always spar better than a normal person.

>>28535286
I'm not sure how canon it is any more but I thought because it had a weird balance and weight you need to be reasonably force-capable to not instantly chop your own arm off using one

>>28535308
Well, they've had a few characters who could pull it off without the force, but they've all been cases where they either had the training or inherent capability to use decently. But none could ultimately fight well against real, trained force wielders.
Pre Visla: Ass kicked by Kenobi and Tano, killed by Maul.
Cassie Cryar: Easily disarmed by old Jedi who needed a cane to get around.
Grievous: Could handle weak duelists or those injured, but not a fair fight with skilled duelists, killed by Kenobi.

>>28523677
Lightsabers are made of plasma in a magnetic bottle.

>>28534756
I haven't heard that. I do know that Jedi try to keep a calm controlled use of power vs the Sith that use emotion. Maybe anon equated that to limiting power

I sincerely hope you are jesting, I'd hate to think there is someone as stupid as you running around for real

>>28535496
Apparently Grievous had blood from Sifo Dyas transfused into which was supposed to grant him some form of force sensitivity. But I don't remember if it really "worked". And I think Boba Fett used a lightsaber against vader at some point. Can anyone confirm?

>>28537168

Yes, Lightsabers can be used by "regular" people effectively

>>28535868
The Jedi use the force by feeling its flow and being one with it.

The Sith brute force it.

Except it doesn't.
If your example is the scene on Bespin where Han shoots at Vader with his blaster, Vader was using the force to deflect the bolts from his hands.

>>28535308
A few people have wielded lightsabers with no force sensitivity

They get their ass kicked by actual jedi/sith, but people that are competent in hand to hand combat could use one just fine. Like Finn, Cad Bane, Pre Visla.

>>28537168
>I think Boba Fett used a lightsaber against vader at some point. Can anyone confirm?
This happened in the old retconned EU. Can't remember if it was actually Vader or not.

>>28528897
>There was a Sith dude (I think the ghost on Yavin 4 after Luke sets up his Academy there) who would change the length of the blade mid-fight and killed a bunch of Jedi using that trick
Corran Horn did this in the old EU. He had a ring on his saber that would rotate two different crystals into alignment for his saber, one created a standard blade and the other created a blade that was ~2 meters. He used it to cut a Hutt in half and one shot a Yuuzan Vong war master in a duel with it.
He's the main character in one of the better old EU books that takes place during the Jedi Academy trilogy called "I, Jedi."

No, it's actually pretty brilliant. The retarded bits are when you get into light whips, light clubs(basically a really big light saber), and a light ax.

See also explosives, flechette launchers, and flame throwers, but even then it's not a sure thing because they can just dodge it because they see glimpses of the future.
