How Close Are We to Creating a Lightsaber?

If we can't have all of them, what aspect of a lightsaber do you think is most essential? 🤔

Problem is that Star Wars happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. Depending on the point of reference, it may or may not have been in the past. If it happened 5000 years ago, but 4000 light years away from earth, then it would have happened 1000 years ago from our point of reference. If it happened 4000 years ago but 5000 light years away, then we're still 1000 years from seeing it from our point of reference. Maybe a lightsaber was already created, but was lost when the dinosaurs became extinct. So it's not necessarily that they don't exist yet, we just lost the know-how on how to make them. :D

foosblood24 Light saber doesn’t mean speed of light - just like LIGHTning or LIGHT bulbs don’t mean speed of light. Light sabers are more so laser swords or plasma.

[@Stryfe52]

And if there was a rod then you’d see it on activation. There are literally multiple times in Star Wars media where they deconstruct light sabers(No rod).

[@foosblood24]

Where in SW Cannon does it say the beam is contained by the Force of the user? Finn didn't use the Force, Han Solo definitely didn't, hell.....even Luke himself didn't have any Force control until he started sparing with that floating ball in the Falcon on the way to Alderaan.

[@cilliancooney3950]

foosblood24 a lot of the “lore” that they used was incorrect. The lightsabers didn’t channel the force and it was already pre established that light sabers where projecting plasma from the hilt which was then contained and refined into a blade shape using magnetic forces

[@Redfoxx4eva]

not contained but emmitted. han solo supposedly did have the force. finn does too according to the new movies. but i dont know how cannon the new movies are anymore. in the first three which is arguebly most cannon... the lightsabers just amplified and contained the users force through the crystal in the hilt. which is why everytime the lightsaber was dropped or no longer used the beam would dissappear. but after all the toys came out everyone just assumed lightsabers needed batteries.

[@heymynamesaidan7918]

Non force users have used sabers, old sabers had buttons, newer sabers used switches on the inside that needed to be flipped with the force

"Force goes through all of us" Said Yoda or something like that

[@MagusAce]

1. The crystal inside the saber is a crystalized form of the Force. 2. Everything (organic or not) in the SW universe is part of the Force, and has the potential to wield it. 3. The crystal itself emits the blade, but needs the will of any living being to activate.

@Seeker : According to ALL of the Star Wars books that went into detail of a lightsabers construction, you've missed something BIG!! The beam created by the kyber crystal/s is only as thick as a human hair. The remaining "blade" seen is the cascade of the focused energy being returned to the blade emitter! Hence the recycling of the diridium battery as well as the initial "hum" produced whilst the blade is on.

[@ideossl7753]

10:21 Hello ppl from a century or two away after this video. Be wise using your Lightsaber

[@hellohelloington9442]

Fun fact: in official star wars canon, standard lightsabers are quite literally a hilt, and that hilt forms an electromagnetic field on one end, before releasing plasma from a kyberr crystal, which is a fancy crystal that contains a hell lot of plasma. We can, as proven by another video I saw today, make plasma within the hilt, so it won't be too much of a problem (though your duel will only last 30 seconds, and won't allow lightsaber clashing). Anyway, said plasma is contained in the electromagnetic field, which is how it manages to deflect things - the blaster bolts work similarly, and it is actually the electromagnetic fields (not the blades) clashing with one another. Sadly, we don't have kyberr crystals in real life and we can't manipulate electromagnetic fields in this way (yet) meaning a proper light saber is nigh impossible until we can make a giant electromagnetic tube and fill it with plasma. TL;DR: Lightsabers are just an electromagnetic field filled with lots of plasma from a crystal in the hilt. To add on, there is also something called a 'Vibrosaber' or a 'Vibroblade' which is essentially similar to the mirror method, but there is no laser. Instead it is ONLY the electromagnetic field, and it's pretty much a weaker lightsaber that only zaps you when it hits you. Some variations include the plasma in very limited quantities, not enough to do more than a flesh burn. It's used by jedi younglings and padawans for training before they get to use the actual lightsabers. You never see them in the movies. TL;DR: Vibrosabers are like the mirror thing, but they are supposed to only zap you Then we have protosabers. Protosabers, or Archaic Lightsabers, are exactly what the name suggests: an old, pre-lightsaber lightsaber design. It works on the same concept as a normal lightsaber, except it doesn't have the kyberr crystal, and instead uses a bulky, vulnerable powerpack that you place on your back, connected to the lightsaber by a cord which, when turned on, produces plasma just like the lightsabers we know and love today, just way more unstable, and weaker. Oh, and heavier. Way heavier. Instead of Kyberr crystals, they would use a focusing crystal. However, protosabers have highly limited lifetime - you can't use them for many years on end like a lightsaber, and they will run out eventually and need to be refilled. Then we move onto Retrosabers, which are the exact same thing as protosabers, but different. They instead use a smaller power pack, a lot smaller - about the size of a pouch - which the user clips to their belt, and keeps on their hip, attached to the weapon by a small cord. It's way lighter and less bulky than the last version. But the real thing that made it way better is that you can flick a switch on it, activating a high-power mode, which uses a lot more power, but makes it more dangerous and powerful, more comparable to modern lightsabers, but this is only temporary and can't be used for too long. Retrosabers were way rarer, and not used as much, but did find their way well into the clone wars by certain jedi who opted to use it over the traditional lightsabers we all know and love. Certainly, protosabers and retrosabers are more possible, though we'll still need to learn how to manipulate electromagnetic fields without conducting it through material. TL;DR: There are also older lightsaber models called protosabers that use a power pack, and are way weaker (& heavier), and have limited lifetime. Later versions are called Retrosabers, being way rarer and less widespread, having a smaller power pack and a 'high power' mode.
