lightsabers

"Then wouldn't it be advantageous to Jedi of races that can see infrared or ultraviolet light to build sabers only visible in that spectrum? Although other Jedi would be able to sense the blade, it would be a perfect weapon against non-Jedi, and the Vong, in theory."

I've already explained, that infrared can't do any damage. It doesn't cut. infact it has therapeutic use.

Ultra-violet, can't directly kill, but it can cause sunburns, and cancer.

All the other waves can't cut, or damage is negligible(more like radiation burns). As well they can't be focused, and just randomly change direction as I remember reading(more like bend in random directions, and can pass through the housing, as well as some going backwards and effecting the wielder).

It's the visual range spectrums that have any form of direct heat, or focusable through a lense.

 

Dooku's sabre is ''curved hilt''? Meaning what, it's a lightkatana?

As far as sabres go, I find Lumiya's whip the most intriguing. It appears to have a blade made up of ''force lightning'', rather than an energy blade.

 

It has a whip of energy, and whips of physical matter. Dual-nature.

 

Dooku has a curved hilt.... maul has two blades... two curved hilts, facing opposite directions, that'd be kewl

 

I ask again, curved hilt meaning WHAT? That the blade is curved like a katana(Samurai sword.)?

 

So Dooku has a fancy hilt, so what? Does it do anything to his blade?

 

His blade looked reguler to me in the trailors.

 

Maybe it's for his old-man hands.

 

is a pure black lightsaber possible??

itd be pretty good for nighttime fighting

 

All the lightsabers so far seem to be a white core with a color on the outside. think this would stay the same with any color. You'd have a black saber with a whitish core so you would still be able to see it.

 

If you somehow managed to block out all the light from the core by making the outer blade black, that would be pretty cool.

 

I suppose. I don't know how much it would help against Force users.

 

"All the lightsabers so far seem to be a white core with a color on the outside. think this would stay the same with any color. You'd have a black saber with a whitish core so you would still be able to see it."

Actually it's just that center core is the most focused amount of the light(seeming to look brighter than the rest), the outside edges are stray bits of light escaping, which gives the sense of color.

There is no such thing as black light. Black is the absence of light and color.

So it would be impossible to have a saber of that type.

Blacklights on the other hand are only blacklights(actually sort a dark purple), because of a film put inside of the glass tube that blocks out most light but certain type of light. To do that on a saber would require a glass/transparisteel sheif over the whole blade, which would make break in one attack.

 

But if you blocked the light, surely it wouldn't work at all because the energy from the handle and therefore the entire blade would have to be blocked. ?

 

but if you can have a lightsaber of any color depending on the crystal then if you used a black crystal you could get a black blade im thinking,,...

 

If you have a black chrystal, no light can get through, you woudln't have anything.

That's known as opaque. webster: "exhibiting opacity : blocking the passage of radiant energy and especially light"

 

You could conceiviblly have a very dark blade, but not a black one. But nonetheless, it wouldn't be very effective against Force users.

 

its still light, its just black

 

Elite__Gaurd, have you ever seen black light?

 

so youre saying the brighter the light the more powerful?? then why doesnt anyone have a bright white lightsaber??

 

darker amount of light, would be weak amittance of light. It wouldn't be able to cut. and things would go right through it. would only be a faint glow.

Black-lights are dark purple, but have a faint glow. They are only that way because of the special paint inside the glass. The paint is a chemical compound.

have you ever heard of black lights??? from the 70s

 

I meen a black light, light that is the color black. Blacklights are just lights with black paint on them.

 

Visible light is made up from the colours of the spectrum. When combined these colours make white and when none are present the colour is black. Therefore there is no such thing as black light.

 

More of a purple paint, actually. I'll see if I can find an essay that explains how they work.
