Star Wars Fan Builds Floating Lightsaber Training Droid

This is the level of geekdom to which we should all aspire. I want one.

nice .. now someone just need to invent a proper lightsaber that can cut through anything ^^

Lightsabers can't "cut through anything" though.

Purified Cortosis, for example, is not only lightsaber-resistant, but it will even render the saber powerless for a short while.

If you ever wondered why General Grievous' guards weren't simply cut down, it's because their staves were constructed of Phrik, another lightsaber resistant material.

I imagine you might have heard of the Mandalorian Wars? The Jedi got involved, didn't they? So why didn't they instagib them? Because of Mandalorian Iron.


Oh, and what you might not have expected is that a Saber's blade will short out if it comes in contact with a certain amount of water. (Rain doesn't quite cut it)


There's even examples of animals whose hides possess the ability to resist a sabers blade.




Anyway, enough nerding for one post I think?

Very nerdy and all true, except lightsabers can be constructed to work under water. It has something to do with the thing that lets you ajust the lenght.

O and the training droid is cool.

This is absolutely amazing! I feel ashamed that I didn't think of it. I think I'm going to go make something similar now.

Whew, and I thought he had copied my real floating droid.
Erm... I mean... shit...

Magnets? But how do they work?

Sorry, I had to.
