A better comparison would be a blaster to a phaser. Blaster, ftw. Han Solo says so.
Bring both!!!!
Corran Horn uses his 'saber and his blaster. I rather like that idea. Of course, he's Corellian so a blaster is a given!
yup!! An ancient Sith Lord by the name of Exar Kun crafted one that had an extra crystal in it, that allowed him to control both blade length and intensity. It could range from a long dagger to a claymore.
Exar Kun(The Soul Stealer)/Kyp Durron, FTW!
15 years from now when you make your kids watch star wars with you they are gonna say. This movie is so retarded that ain't even the sound a light saber makes.
You just won the internet today.
I do believe that using the method described, you could stop the beam at whatever distance you wanted. The physics is there, you just have to be able to manipulate the energy. Light can be bent, I am sure it can be stopped abruptly, especially when it is being manipulated with other particles.
