Cohesive Light wins.
If all else fails, the Lightsaber wins because it doubles as a really sweet flashlight.

So, it would seem, that Adamantium WOULD stop a lightsaber. Its impossible to be mined, it has to be molded from liquid alloys, and then its permanent.KingsGambit said:
But pretty nothing can ever break adamantium (besides special events like super magneto) besides adamantium, and nothing ever stops a lightsaber but cortosis. Unstoppable force meets immovable object, anyone?
My only basis for context is that in movie, i thought i saw them take a few seconds to cut through a door? That happened, right? Adamantium would be much stronger. I think its confusing because in star wars canon it cuts through everything......but adamantium isnt part of star wars canon. So how can you compare?
But in short
Unstoppable force meets unmovable object, anyone?
What he said...Jamboxdotcom said:
Lightsabres (sorry, English *points at self*) can thrust through metal easily enough, but has a hard time cutting it (refer to Ep V Vader vs Luke fight, Vader hacks at a railing and nothing happens to it), but it all depends on what 'official' canon says about it. I've done my take on the weapon (nothing saying, though, WIP).
Regarding adamantium... must heavy (sorry, dense) as fuck... given that our dear friend Logan at 5ft 2ins weights 200lbs without the adamantium and 300lbs with, a granted it can't be that thick on his bones (2-3mm at most... and even that's stretching it), so it's a wonder he moves that well.
It doesn't seem to cauterize all the time though... The first time someone's arm gets lobbed off in Star Wars it's very clearly not cauterized.Rednog said:

OT: Lightsaber wins. It's made to win.
I see people are forgetting cortosis, a metal that is resistant to even light sabers. I would say Adamantium would stop a light saber in the same way.
Also Wolverine from time to time has had trouble with advanced metals, so while Adamantium is strong it can only do SO much.
edit
Also Adamantium can not be melted by heat alone and a light saber pretty much works on intense heat.

Could exist in a liquid alloy form naturally, they then seperate it and use heat to keep it the refined element from solidifying.ZombieGenesis said:
Lightsabers don't burn their wielders hands because they're contained in a deus ex force field (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber).
Adamantium would win. Lightsabers do not instantly cut through everything. It's noted that the density of the object alters the cutting speed. It can be assumed that Adamantium is an incredibly dense material, and if it's dense enough to be indestructible, it's likely dense enough to block a lightsaber blade.
Now if we were talking about molecular blades it would be a different question...
You could still melt it again, it's only in solid form that it's indestructible. As with all metals, it can be melted and cast repeatedly.Junkle said:
My only quibble is in the X-Men films (and perhaps worst of all Origins)... molten adamantium in those looks like my Boltgun Metal paint!
Remember Episode One? Qui Gon sticking the lightsaber in that metal door... took some time and effort to cut through that thing. Adamantium would probably win, but I know which I'd prefer to have.
Really?The Chemist said:
Where are Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler when you need them? Both are FICTIONAL, and not really well explained, at that. If we assume that "light saber" is not just a colloquialism and that it really is focused light, then it would be a laser and it absolutely would not work this way. Since we're clearly throwing out all real science, the question is moot. I don't think George Lucas ever said what the sabers theoretically could and could not cut through.
There is a material in the Star Wars universe that completely absorbs a lightsabers energy and renders it useless. Now, thats not what adamantium does but I do think it could resist a lightsaber (just like that metal on the doors in episode one when Qui gon and Obi wan try to open it with their lightsabers). Tough decision, but I think adamantium would win.
I think the lightsaber beats adamantium, because adamantium is an earthly metal to fight earthly metals.
Then again, there are things that a lightsaber cant cut through in the star wars universe, so if adamnatium had the same chemical structure as them, then the saber is useless.
... Testing is needed.

EDIT:
But he did cut through. You're talking about the doors to the main chamber were the viceroy and his second were at, right before they got attacked by droidakas right? The door resisted, but it was being cut, and the only reason Qui Gon didnt just cause they were attacked, so they didnt have the time.Coldster said:
Lighsaber slashes through wolverine=wolverines skeleton remains intact but flesh gets destroyed.
Call it what you will. It's the first and only time there is actual lightsaber damage shown in the first film. That makes it very canon to me.ZippyDSMlee said:
