      it would make sense if the movies were following actual science, but Kylo just wants to be like Darth Vader so he wears a helmet (and also the helmet might have been inspired by Darth Revan)

    "While I could move boulders easily, seeds were next to impossible"
    I forgot where in the Star Wars books that quote was from (and I probably messed it up), but it basically translates to "Big things are easier to ise the force on than little things". So hurling a ship at a planet? Easy. Targeting one of the MUCH smaller engine rooms specifically? You'd have better luck shooting a Photon Torpedo into an exhaust port.

  • @DarthBiomech
    @DarthBiomech 8 років тому +316

    There's also the point of _convection_. If the lightsabers were _just_ plasma being coiled by a magnetic field, they would give off huge amounts of IR radiation, cooking their users alive while also blinding them with UV.
    But, do not forget that SW tech have one thing that RL tech doesn't: forcefields. It uses it to shield stuff from vacuum of space, blaster bolts, ETC... So if lightsaber is a plasma, coiled by magnetic field, surrounded by forcefield, then it solves all four problems: forcefield can dim outcoming light far enough to let the color show. Forcefield can cut down light to restrict all the wavelengths, reducing heat radiation from plasma as well as UV radiation, so lightsabers now not cook users alive and not blind them. And final solved problem: forcefield can give blade solidity, allowing it to collide with other lightsabers, deflect blaster bolts and be capable of feeling resistance of the thing that you're cutting.

      Let me just steal your comment and gain superiority over an entire comment thread.

    • @Kaleban
      @Kaleban 7 років тому +45

      The problem with this is two-fold:
      1. If the plasma is the "cutting force" of the saber, the forcefield would totally encase the plasma, keeping it from actually being able to cut anything or even interact with the local environment.
      2. If the forcefield is powerful enough to do the four things you mention, then it is both more economical and technically feasible to just make forcefield blades sans plasma.
      Now that I think about it, perhaps a further retcon is needed; lightsabers are simply forcefield blades. Their color could be determined by the focusing crystal, the emitted light could be the result of refraction through the field. Forcefields could potentially do the things we see such as cutting and heating metal (especially if multiple emitters along the circumference of the lightsaber hilt exist, thereby amplifying the surface area of the entire blade) as well as deflecting blaster bolts. They would also interact with other lightsabers allowing for swordfighting, and emit the audible hum from vibrating surrounding air molecules, and potentially solve the convection problem since it wouldn't radiate heat unless striking a surface, and only at the point of contact.
      That the fictional Kyber crystal is already weaponized by Starkiller base (and the Death Star main laser) also gives credence to the idea, since neither of the "hyper-lasers" would be plasma based as that would not convey the destructive energy we've seen in the movies.

    • @DarthBiomech
      @DarthBiomech 7 років тому +47

      We don't know how exactly forcefields are behaving, but so far we seen them being able to exceptionally well contain gases (hangar forcefields), energy and plasma (ship shields) and heat, i.e. IR radiation. (Mustafar droids hovering right on top of lava rivers). But there isn't a single case when a forcefield would cut a solid object in half. In fact the opposite always happens - ships and people pass right through it without any issues. So I guess that if you stick the saber into a wall, then solid wall will pass through forcefield envelope and come in contact with the plasma within.

    • @KatotsuSama
      @KatotsuSama 7 років тому +10

      Actually, while I REALLY want you to be right, I can think of one instance where forcefields interfere with matter. When Anikin destroys the Battledroid Control Ship in Ep1, he loses power to all systems for I don't remember how long. The point is, when he re-activates his shields, all the battle droids DO fly away from the ship. Then again, this is Ep1 which introduced Midichlorians, so does it really count?

    Point the first, StarKiller didn't actually pull down that star destroyer, adjusted its flight path to the point it wouldn't be able to crush his friends or crush or shoot him, which it was trying to do
    Second, this effort resulted in him in passing out, and was incredibly taxing on his body, the game shows it poorly, but the books, are kind of better anyway
    Third, if people can call God of War a great game, then I think we can say that The Force Unleashed is a good game, at least the protagonist is like able, and has an interesting take on the lore

    Plus, yoda is always calm, in control.
    Starkiller is like a bottle of coke that has been vibrated for 10 minutes with a mento. Sure he can direct it, and even put a lid on it, but it's still unstable, especially after years of Sith anger-enhancement training.

      Starkiller is hardly among the most powerful. There was the guy who blew up a star, the guy who moved a moon, honestly nothing Starkiller did is anything more advanced than what a upper-mid tier Jedi/sith could pull off. Notice all his best feats are bursts, rather than prolonged feats. Those are the more insane ones, Starkiller is relatively weak by comparison.

    When you make the comment about Yoda having a hard time lifting the large cylinder, that isn't necessarily true. There are (more or less) two aspects to training yourself in the Force. You can train your physical abilities and Force abilities (being able to block absurd amounts of blaster fire, jumping, Force lightning, Force push, and other relatively physical Force uses) and training the mental aspects (such as foresight, being in tune with the Force, and things like that.) However, training one of these aspects tends to leave you less accessible to accessing the other half. Think of it as the difference between a sledgehammer and a surgical knife. A sledgehammer can do a shit ton of damage but the more often you use a sledgehammer the more likely you are to not being able to understand the finesse of a surgical knife. Now back to my original point, Yoda trained himself immensely in the mental aspect of the Force.

    • @lightshade5726

    • @darkeyedgirl005
      @darkeyedgirl005 8 років тому

      Movement via the Force has to deal with the mitichlorians in an item, right? Maybe the pillar didn't have that much, plus he was tired from the duel against his former apprentice? Lifting the x-wing would have been easier, since he was not tired and the metals were less pure than the pillar? Even if the bolts or anchors were mitichlorian rich, Yoda could have lifted the x-wing based on those alone. It could be the same with the huge ship that Starkiller brought down, he found a spot on the ship that was full of mitichlorians and manipulated that part of it. Might even explain why he didn't pull the engines of or slow them down, maybe they didn't have a high enough count of the little life buggers. Just a thought.
      I probably spelled mitichlorians wrong every time there. Sorry to all the hardcore fans, I can't remember how to spell this.

    • @Cristov123
      @Cristov123 8 років тому +1

      I'm not sure where the canon stands with midichlorians, but using the force doesn't depend on the count an object has, just the count the user has himself. I think only living beings have them.

      Good point, I might have to ask around about that. I'm pretty much combining the ideas of Yoda and Qui-gon, which I know I shouldn't. Yoda was teaching Luke, saying that the Force was in everything around him. The rocks, the air, the ground. Qui-gon said that the mitichlorians was inside everyone and, if a person had enough, doesn't that make them Force sensitive?
      Looking back, you are right. Those little buggers are only in living objects, which aids a Force user in moving objects via the Force. Are items simply containers of the Force, or do some objects have more Force inside than others? This would be a great topic to start a Star Wars war, I guess.
      I want to think that the Force can be accessed in some objects easier than others, or maybe it's held in a larger quantity based on the material. It's nearly impossible to have an item that has no Force potential in it, but maybe some materials have a large concentration? I know the crystals inside the lightsabers are saturated in the Force, that is why caves that have them are found so easily.
      That could explain why Starkiller was able to bring down that ship, the front of it was saturated in the Force for whatever reason. Starkiller could sense this, much like how most Jedi and Sith can sense powerful points of Force energy, and capitalized on it.
      Just a thought.

One day he was under a tank welding, and a very tiny bead of molten metal fell into his ear. It rolled down the ear canal and burned a tiny hole through his ear drum. He says it was the most painful thing he ever experienced in his life. He quit welding that day and became a carpenter instead. He still welds on occasion, like on vehicles that he restores, but he's always very obsessed with safety.

    firstly if it is indeed a plasma stream contained in a magnetic field. then a blaster bolt would be reflected by the magnetic field regardless of the polarity of the plasma. secondly I know that the whole extended universe is dead now but I've read that it isn't a plasma stream. it is instead resembles an electron chainsaw. the lore I read says that energy isn't expended unless it makes contact. this would throw out the plasma blade out because it would constantly draining power. as an electron beam it would indeed be mass-less. as an electron beam it would also generate a magnetic field allowing it to deflect plasma.
    this is all useless because the extended universe has been hacked to pieces more than a victim of obiwans saber skill.

    • @dwimrel
      @dwimrel 8 років тому +8

    • @00Maximilian
      @00Maximilian 8 років тому +16

      Not to be pedantic or anything (no wait that's exactly what this is) but electrons have mass. Very small amounts, sure, but they do not weigh nothing at all. You're right that moving electrons create a magnetic field but everything I've ever seen is that to create an electron beam, you need magnetic coils surrounding the beam you're trying to create. Also, you need a vacuum surrounding the beam to prevent dissipation. That's obviously not the case since we see lightsabers working in atmospheres, underwater etc.

    • @dwimrel
      @dwimrel 8 років тому +12

      Nik we are talking fantasy here but lets suspend our disbelief again. We are talking about a civilization that has had ftl flight for longer than humanity has been human. Plasma without a magnetic field also dissipates into a cloud off energetic particles outside of a vacuum as well. To think that a civilization that has conquered such hurdles as kitchen sink level fusion power and space flight wouldn't have been able to solve the problem of field coherence in an electron beam loop would be kinda silly. Not to mention only some blasters are plasma. The blaster technology is based on particle acceleration technology. Yes plasma states are easily accessible with such tech but other forms of particles and various forms radiation can also be used in such a device.

Again a technologically advanced society as old as the one in star wars would've figured out how to bend most forms if not all known forms of energy to their willful use.

    This is honestly, a great example of people who have very little knowledge on the Star Wars verse. I mean, using Wookiepedia (A non canon source to both Legends, and Disney Canon.) takes away any credibility you may have had in the first place. Maybe have actual Canon material (Or Legends I suppose.) before doing something like this.
    PS: StarKiller pulled down a Star Destroyer that was already coming down, he just changed where it was coming down from, and seeing as Palpatine can manipulate Time and Space (Low tier reality warping.) to open wormholes, things like this aren't a stretch.
    End of day: Don't talk about something you know nothing about.

    @kaneCVR 8 років тому +66

    Hi Austin. Awesome video as always - I have a bit of a theory regarding the way a lightsaber works - let's for a minute entertain the notion that the plasma contained in the blade is not held there by a magnetic field, but by a rigid one-way containment field, witch allows matter and energy inside, but keeps plasma and some of the energy inside the blade. This containment field would be modulated by this sci-fi bullshit magic crystal they use, and it also serves to give the blade its color. As you very well pointed out, plasma at that temperature would burn so bright it would make it impossible for the wielder to effectively fight, and the blade would be bright white instead of green/blue/whatever. BUT! If the containment field keeps all plasma and most of the energy in, and is the color of the crystal, the blade would look exactly like it does in the movies. As for burning trough shit, the field allows matter in, witch comes in contact with the plasma inside, turning said matter into smoldering much witch comes out the other side of the field.
    There's another problem with the magnetic containment field - if such tech was used, the plasma would act like a liquid in a jar - it would swirl around, bend and swish like a Light-Whip or some shiny white dildo - but the blades we see are completely rigid - forcing us to conclude that the plasma containment field is perfectly rigid and firmly connected to the hilt like it was a physical piece of the weapon. Said containment field also reflects plasma (blaster fire and other lightsabers). Now to the other fun part - lightsaber battles. As I stated above, the field keeps plasma and some light in, but allows matter to freely go in and out. To make lightsaber sword fights possible, the containment fields of the two weapons would have to stop each other, or to stop the plasma inside the other sword's containment field. The lore supports this somewhat, as we know lightsabers are completely ineffective against droid shields - they simply will not go trough. If the lighstaber's containment field is similar to this sci-fi force field used by droids and other crap, this would be conceivable.

      Nolan Bell, that's where the sci-fi bullshit magic crystal comes in; The Kyber crystals are mysterious, they're not very well understood and the Jedi kept what little was known about them secret; they're also highly attuned to the force and can survive the temperatures in the core of a star. I'm not 100% on what lore is defined and what is up for debate about them; but it's perfectly feasible that they store massive amounts of energy and/or can channel it directly from the force when activated.

They're not the Force, they're simply the connection between the Living Force and the Cosmic Force, kind of like a biological construct that the Force created to allow it to influence living things and vice versa. I used to hate the midichlorians too until I found that out, but I suppose since that's Legends now we only have the shitty definition in the canon, but I still maintain Legends can be used as a resource, it was vastly more information than the canon.

    • @TheRealNeonwarrior
      @TheRealNeonwarrior 8 років тому

      The different colors are because of color crystals. There can be like 3 different crystals in a lightsabe, giving it different properties. Basically, these crystals have magic properties and obviously don't exist; even in the Star Wars universe they're extremely rare. It's the Unobtanium that makes lightsabers work and are never explained.

      The jedi, if I remember correctly control a planet that is *abundant* with crystals, while the sith started using synthetic crystals long ago to stop having to travel to that world because it's one of the few places that harbor crystals. They also use they're crystals because when it comes into contact with another lightsaber, it has an extremely small chance of shutting that lightsaber off, and an even smaller chance of rendering that lightsabers crystals ineffective.

    • @Mikazuchireborn
      @Mikazuchireborn 8 років тому +1

      The entire point of the warp is that logic, physics, time and space all stop working. Won't be much to say there because it's designed to be a place where absolutely anything can happen.
      Other than that, a lot of the tech that they use wouldn't work. Bolter shells have been proven to be impossible in the real world and many of the vehicles have glaring explosive weak points (the Eldar moreso than any other). Power weapons are pretty legit though, I'd certainly take a power sword over a Lightsaber any day.

      Most things in 40k make some sense, either through real science (like many of the weapons) or through self explanation (ie: the Warp). There are flaws, no one will deny that, but it's not as bullshitty as SW... or Mass Effect... or Fallout... or even Halo. In terms of Science Fiction, 40k goes as far as it can to explain everything within as much reason as awesomeness allows. It's going to take liberties, but it's still possible... for the most part.

  • @macroshaft5517
    @macroshaft5517 8 років тому +17

    Great vid, thoroughly entertaining, but I need to point out one thing about the little bonus section. While everything math based you said about the Starkiller Star Destroyer Destruction (say it three times fast! c'mon! you know you wanna! :P) is likely true, (I’m no math guy, so I’ll just take your word for it) your Yoda quip is actually wrong. In the Jedi Jack style Clone Wars cartoons (I call them that, because the art style is *so* Samurai Jack) Yoda pulled down a Trade Federation droid transport into the ground of (Coruscant? Someone please confirm.) in the exact same manner as Starkiller did, onto Raxus Prime. Unless I'm mistaken, those are of roughly similar size to a Star Destroyer, so the precedent is there for force pulling spaceships down, and Yoda by no means struggled with that pipe; instead his struggle was likely threefold against:
    1. His own exhaustion,
    2. Dooku himself (the one who threw the pipe)
    3. Standard physics, up to and including gravity.
    Covering exhaustion, Yoda’s a fairly small guy; this fact
    A. lessens his available physical endurance, and
    B. requires he use a lot more of it at a time, and constantly enhance it with Force use, to compete on the same level as his perpetually larger foes.
    This can easily seen in his ditching his normal cane to *jump everywhere* when using his lightsaber, even in the exact battle with Dooku in which said pipe was shown. Also, Dooku and Yoda were actually force tug of warring in their fight, long before they ever resorted to lightsabers, so this might have further tuckered him out mentally. Furthermore, the pipe was actually quite large; it was at least twice the size of an average house, iirc, and about as heavy as you would expect a chunk of metal that size to be. To ice that kaka-cake, when Yoda was starting in trying to catch it, it was already at a fair speed downwards, about to crush Obi-Wanakin. Yoda was not only fighting the pipe; he was fighting Dookus own Force pushing it downwards, his own exhaustion, standard physics deceleration G’s of that large a weight, *and* simple gravity working with Dooku the whole time to pull it down onto our hapless protagonists. And after the whole, y'know, BATTLE OF GEONOSIS, and THEN a full on showdown with Count Dooku, he was probably already pretty beat, to begin with. Even without these explanations of that specific scene, it’s also easily attributable to George Lucas’s incompetence, and the precedent Jedi Jack set for force based spaceship wranglin still stands. And finally, for any purists who want a fully prequel-era free example... in the original trilogy, Yoda retrieves Luke's X-wing from deep in a Dagobah swamp, using the Force. To make a point. *drops the keyboard*

      To be honest i think yoda himself says at some point that the size of the object doesn't matter and only thing that matters is one's grasp of force.
      So in his viewpoint as long as your grasp of the force is strong it matters not weather its an apple or a star destroyer.

  • @masonlemon8975

    The point of Kylo Ren's lightsaber is to emulate the guard of a longsword. You know that dumb shit that stops your opponent's sword from cutting your hands when striking at you? You know like Anakin did to Dooku and Darth Vader did to Luke in this very video? If either of them had a crossguard saber like Kylo Ren , they'd still have their arm(s).

    • @OlePistolCooperation
      @OlePistolCooperation 8 років тому +8

      nope. It´s exhaust ports, he build the saber himself without much knowledge of how to do it, so the saber is not as fine tuned and requires exhaust ports.

    • @AntoineVello
      @AntoineVello 8 років тому +9

      OlePistolCooperation You're half right. There is no evidence to support the idea that Kylo has little knowledge of making lightsabers. His uncle made one that functioned perfectly while under an oppressive empire. This would mean that Luke did not teach him how to make one, nor was Kylo able it find anything to teach him. Both unlikely
      The cracked kyber crystal causes need for the exhaust ports because the weapon can't contain the power.
      However the sword is obviously inspired by a real life longsword, and the purpose of a longsword's guard is to protect the hands, and since in-universe there are lightsaber techniques that target the hands, no one can call it a WTF saber..

    • @devilonyourshoulder4732
      @devilonyourshoulder4732 8 років тому +2

      If the crossguard has the same properties as the blade itself, it is dangerous to the wielder himself. It would be like having crossguard made out of razors.

    I want to hug you right now because I have never heard anyone else say what I am saying, that Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy, was both an awesome game and actually felt like you were fighting with lightsabers. I rented once when I was very young, then was never able to find it again, and didn't think buy online, I was a kid, about a year ago I decided to finish what I started and found and purchased it from ebay. Ironically once I got it I started over played through it really quickly(a week or three, maybe a month) and then stopped right before what I assume is the final boss because dinner was ready, that was like two or more months ago, I definitely am going to finish it now and replay it with the dark version of the story. Look forward to watching more episodes, love the channel and the series.
    Also does anyone else think it is a bit odd that youtube comment section still says that Lightsaber is not a word, go ahead type it in, the little red squiggly line will show up underneath it.

      All Bastions aim at the opposing Genji, while one Genji aims at the other, and the second aims anywhere else. The 2nd Genji receives bullets from 5 Bastions, plus all of the bullets from the 5 Bastions _on his own team_ deflected at him by Genji 1.
      That's 1800 bullets per second. Each bullet deals an average 9.5 damage, resulting in 17100 damage per second. That could wipe a whole team of Reinhardts including their shields in _one second_. Ouch.

Basically, you use a heat resistant ceramic as a heat and ultraviolet shield against yourself while still leaving it capable of cutting and clashing. A wire coil is run along the inside to keep guiding the plasma away from the weilder while they are fighting, deflecting (not), and cutting.

    As a welder, we have a problem called arc burn. It's literally sunburn, but caused by the arc. Pretty painful for the eyelids when you tac parts together with no hood on. And it doesn't take much exposure to cause this. And no, the spatter doesn't feel good, especially when it goes down your back inside your shirt.

    To your ending thing, size doesn't matter to the force. you can move a pebble with the same effort you would use to move a death star as long as your focused(light side) or ambitious(dark side) enough. That was one of the lessons Yoda was trying to teach Luke when he pulled out Luke's ship from the swamp.
