“Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.”

Quote of the Day:

“If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”

    I’m often bemused by the thinking on this. That lightsaber = “saber made of light”. It’s possible that even Lucas thought that way. To me it has always seemed that a lightsaber is a contained circulating high-energy beam. Like an incandescent bulb, that energy glows brightly.

    1. From the Wookiepedia entry

      The weapon consisted of a blade of pure plasma emitted from the hilt and suspended in a force containment field. The field contained the immense heat of the plasma, protecting the wielder, and allowed the blade to keep its shape.

        Nice. More points for my translation of my intuitive knowledge. Though I don’t have a heat issue in my design. And to me, it’s more an EM “reflector” that is projected a certain distance from the hilt, providing the point of re-circulation.
