i mean it's not like lightsabers are magic, and they clearly aren't even that hot if a human can hold them. you saw how long it took qui gon to cut through that door and it was probably just regular steel

you're right the heat bloom from igniting it alone, much less waving it around, should burn your hair off if it's capable of flash-melting any kinda metal like that

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
even ignoring the lightsaber, qui gon should have had his hands burned off just by how close he put them to that melting door. i assume he used the force to protect himself but that doesn't explain why his robes didnt catch fire. maybe they're asbestos

i preferred the lovely dirty half-working star wars spaceships that had a tendency to catch fire and burn their pilots alive in cockpit close-up shots

not those new shiny chrome polished turds that can only manage to be flying droid deathtraps

there must be some kind of unknown physics going on, like the lightsaber energy makes molecular bonds fall apart or something, cause if it takes that long to melt through a steel door and doesn't set fire everything around it, you could probably block a lightsaber with a refractory firebrick or a tungsten rod

star wars would be more interesting if instead of 'the force' and 'midawhatevers' it was just all asbestos. everything explained with asbestos.

A digital camera progressively scans a scene to capture an image. Usually it's not a problem but the propeller is spinning so fast that it creates a distorted shape when photographed.

that's clearly some sort of electric thingy which makes sense considering that the lightsaber is either light or plasma so they don't have to make up some new element and oh god what is wrong with me
