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:

Against adamantium, a lightsbaer would win, plain and simple. It can withstand pretty much anything but I doubt it's powerful enough to withstand a direct hit from a lightsaber. Now it this were vibranium it'd be a whole other matter.
I think the lightsaber because Adamantium can be melted, as it was melted down to be applied to bone. I really don't think the lightsaber would have any resistance at all, but that's just my opinion.

I think you have a key word there; "Eventually".ImprovizoR said:
I think if you leave a live lightsaber on top of a block of Adamantium for 10 years, yes, it will cut through. But could someone with an Adamantium Sword duel with a Lightsaber? Yes, I believe they could.
If Adamantium has an "indestrutable" molecular structure, it would take significant energy to break down that structure.
Actually the question would be, what is Adamantium's breaking point? Could a piece of it survive on the surface of the sun or in the middle of the sun if you could someone pull it back out?
Does Adamantium get hot? How quickly does it? How quickly does release heat?
Thoughts?
That makes no sense, the films came before the books. how are the books cannon and the films not?ZippyDSMlee said:The books are canon the films are lower qaulity remakes(tho the first 3 are light years beyond the crappier new films).GundamSentinel said:Call it what you will.

going by real world physics (don't say it, i know) it is possible to make a similar effect to light sabers with plasma and magnets or magnetics fields through electronics
to make a sword shape would be NEAR impossible but at the rate we are advancing scientifically we might be able to pull it off by the time space travel is possible
back to my point; with that much plasma, melting through anything at the first trilogy rate is likely and possible
there are no metals with a melting point above plasma temperatures so the adamantium blade would pass through with a very tiny amount of melting at the edge and the light saber would go around the adamantium blade with no difficulty but the light saber would have massive restrictions on how fast you could move it based on the strength of the magnetic field and amount of plasma present but it would be significantly lighter and easier to swing quickly or dodge with
basically its just like comparing a dagger to a long sword
it all comes down to who's better
still vote adamantium since it's as easy to use as any other metal sword

Generally more work put into them to keep up with continuity,ect. Its a glaring error on the film makers part when they did the arm cut off scene, it happens.RevRaptor said:That makes no sense, the films came before the books. how are the books cannon and the films not?ZippyDSMlee said:The books are canon the films are lower qaulity remakes(tho the first 3 are light years beyond the crappier new films).GundamSentinel said:Call it what you will.

Besides "canon" is nothing more than things reconfirmed by a stories continuation, sometimes it needs to be changed sometimes its changed for the worse.
Adamantium can not be melted using any kind of normal heat processIt can liquefied under the right process, more or less. Also it has quirky energy capabilities(when it comes in contact with hellfire it causes the hellfire to explode). SO for the most part its a variant on cortosis the energy absorbing metal that can be used to make weapons that can parry and block a lightsaber directly, there are also vibro weapons that emit a ultra sonic energy field that can do the same tho as much as Adamantium seems to mimic it its not supported in it's fiction.Derek Westlund said:
What really gets me is the label 'adamantium'.
And whoever mentioned molecular structure... yeesh. The only thing I can think of is that it's an as yet undeveloped alloy that has a grain structure similar to fibrils in amyloid fibres (i.e. cross-stacked so that it can take impact from any direction and retain integrity).
Anyway, 'real' adamantium is adamantane (derived from Greek for steel 'adamantinos'), a uniform-chair tricycloalkane (yeah, boring as hell, right?):
*shoots self for being killjoy*

If you think I have the power to ruin your conversation, then - thanks, I guess?The Chemist said:
Hypothetical - hypothesis.
How do you ask a question not wanting to hear an answer?
You could have discussed focused light. You could have brought up the beam katana, No More Heroes' version of the light saber (relax, fanboys, it's called homage), which has a light thread running from one end of the device to the other - it's closer to realistic and rather cool looking.
No serious answer to this post can be anything other than arbitrary and imaginary. So have fun with the imagination! You're on page 2, don't let me stop you!
There is no way a laser can cut through adamantium. Adamantium can only be cut by adamantium, really. The metal has been see numerous times resisting all manners of lasers, beams, explosions, hits, cuts. Plus, it's sad to say, but I wouldn't think that a lightsaber's blade is more powerful than... say... cyclop's ray.
To my opinion, IF a lightsaber could cut adamantium, it would take a long time to go through it, and though it would be practical if one would want to go through a wall or a vault, it would be totally innefective in a fight.

I agree, but Cap's shield is made of an adamantium-vibranium alloy, which makes it also energy absorbant, which explain why cap didn't get crunched under his unscathed shield.Scarim Coral said:
Depends on what your comparing. Lightsabers would be the better weapon (lighter, easier to use), but most likely in some sort of hypothetical duel both combatants would kill each other. Lightsabers have no actual mass (just energy, aka light), they wouldn't be able to actually block/stop a swing aside from cutting the opposing blade. If adamatium is really indestructible then an adamantium blade would pass through the lightsaber, kill the jedi, while getting a lightsaber to the face.
