[@loafuscramwell7386]

Okay so when he says "It's overheating the material to the point where it could break" This is really showing lack of understanding of materials and what glowing hot means. By no means does the fact the Beskar start to glow from the heat mean the material is weakening or ready to break. It just means the material is getting hot. Tungsten can get glowing hot and still be hard and unmoving to hammer strikes and remain immutable. Metal that is glowing hot is not an indicator of the materials actual resistance and if it will give out, it just happens when it gets hot enough. If the melting point is high enough metal can glow white hot and still not bend or warp.

[@Obelg]

Thank god. At least somebody knows what they're talking about.

[@obe22099]

That's rational. Another way to analyze the effect the dark saber had on Beskar is that it was designed to counter Beskar. Which would mean different properties of material would be able to counter the dark saber and would have similar drawbacks. The actual process that turns metal red hot is the same property that makes metal good for specific purposes. Example would be plastic. Plastic doesn't turn red before failing because plastic is horrible at transferring heat. The same amount of metal in that situation would turn red without deforming because that color change is actually the superior heat transferring properties of metal you can see with your own eyes. One is not better than the other in every situation. As you said it could easily be the case that Beskar was at no risk of failing and a property of Beskar.

[@C.Sharpe]

You are absolutely correct, however it still shows that the Darksaber is much more powerful than a normal lightsaber, even if it still can't break Beskar

[@Wretchrot]

You are right. However, we know that Mandalorians can work Beskar to make armours and weapons, and we know that Beskar melts and bends because we saw it in the Mandalorian when the Armorer makes Din Djarin's armour so...

Setting aside the canonical lore of the light saber. Just speaking from the shape of a light saber alone the traditional one that the Jedi and Sith uses are pole like with pointy end or round end (depending on which show or movie of course), the dark saber has an actual property of a bladed weapon as you can see from the point of ignition where the plasma blade comes from is rectangular compared to the traditional lightsaber circular ignition point. Meaning the blade of a dark saber is "sharp" due to its narrow edge compared to the traditional design. This would mean more energy will be directed towards its sharp edge. Adding this with how hot plasma is, it would make sense that a dark saber would heat beskar faster compared to a traditional one.

[@jupiter8141]

Butifull

[@mksaber170]

I wonder if expanded lore will come in about how Tarre Visla created it by using traditional jedi kyber crystal, the form of the Mandalorian sword & the fusion of Sith alchemy to enhance the blade. Had Darth Vader had this...oh boy! I'd love to see Din Djarin wielded this in battle!

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

this would also explain why light sabers are considered more useful by Jedi

[@MAVM28]

A lightsaber can’t be plasma, it’s the biggest fallacy of the starwars fandom, for multiple reasons. One: plasma can’t be ignited in a vacuum without the presence of an ionized atom. Oxygen is needed in combustion. How is plokoon able to ignite his lightsaber in the vacuum of space in clone wars if it’s plasma? Two: plasma is a heated gas. How can it perfectly deflect bolts or other lightsabers if the blade itself has no physical mass and was a heated gas? Three: there are books that are still considered canon that have Luke noticing things about a lightsaber such as “he felt no heat near his hand” plasma radiates heat. If a lightsaber isn’t hot to anything but touch, that’s more akin to light than plasma, which you would definitely feel

the big thing he is missing, is that lightsabers have a power setting (not 100% sure if this is cannon but it was definitely a thing in legends) and Ahsoka was not trying to kill the magistrate so she wouldn't have her lightsabers on a high power setting, however it is highly possible Gideon had the darksaber pushed as far as it could go to try and go through his armour when he first attacked him in the back. edit: forgot to mention the reason Ahsoka wasn't trying to kill the magistrate, which is because she wanted information from her (where thrawn is).

It might be the blade shape, allowing it to “wedge” into a much smaller surface area than a standard light saber could. (perhaps the flat edge of the darksaber is less effective than a standard lightsaber as well - limiting the versatility. Clearly I’m just guessing though, lol)

You would have to be better at edge alignment. Interestingly, it does have a guard that helps with that as well as a non-symetrical handle shape.

That would make sense, I mean, you could argue that, if a light-saber is a concentration of light so dense its heat cuts like a knife at, at least, a few thousand degrees, then the dark saber should be the absense of the particles of an ordinary light-saber. You could say it concentrates the absense of light, or dark matter, or something relatable IRL, but in SW universe. It's possible maybe, that its not a emmission of heat even, since no one seems to sweat or complain about being near a light-saber, the hilt would even burn their hands if it was heat alone, especially a non force wielder using the dark saber. It could be argued that what ever particles is concentrated in a dark saber creates more of a physical reaction when it contacts other solids by increasing their natural vibration frequencies or something of the like. I noticed that too, but didn't think to make the connection with asoka tano fight. nice

Don't lightsabers have a magnetic field around them to keep the blade focused? If so then it would make sense that it also traps the heat from the blades, that would be the reason why no one expresses any discomfort from a lightsabers ambient temperature

Or it could just be the fact that Gideon held the Darksaber on the beskar spear for a longer time, so the longer heat is put on the spear, it will eventually start to flow as metal conducts heat. The longer metal is exposed to heat, the hotter and softer it becomes, Gideon and Mando clashed blades for a longer time so the contact was longer meaning the Darksaber heated the spear up more due to the longer contact, where as Ahsoka was hitting the Spear for less amounts of time and dint hold he lightsabers on the spear meaning it did not heat the blade up as much do to the less amount of time it was on the spear.

Which makes sense, considering who created it. Tarre Vizsla was a Mandalorian and a Jedi, meaning he was likely intimately familiar with Beskar properties or at least what it took to break the stuff. He probably experimented with the Darksaber to give it more weight and cutting ability, so it could penetrate through Mandalorian armor.

I suspect the darksaber is a style of sabre called a broad saber. They were primarily used in the transition from bladed weapons to energy sabers. It's never been said how long ago it was created.

I was about to comment something similar, since to my knowledge we have never seen a saber in contact with beskar steel for a "clash" that last longer than 10 seconds.

[@GameyManatee3]

There’s a misconception of lore here with Beskar where everyone thinks it’s lightsaber proof, but in fact is only lightsaber resistant. You can argue the cinematic series/movies are separate in terms of lore from the Star Wars legends lore and other extend universe entries. But rarely there’s been armor that can withstand lightsabers and furthermore with armor that is lightsaber proof. It’s why Jedi and Sith commonly wear light armor since it’s difficult to find armor that can stand lightsabers so they tend to light armor to increase their chances of dodging a lightsaber strike. The darksaber is unique in design, but just as any plasma cutter. If metal is constantly exposed to high temperatures, then the metal will melt eventually. Beskar is no exception.

[@MAVM28]

Depends on the metal. Raw tungsten has a much higher melting point than typical steel. Also, you are missing a major component. Din jarins spear survived an orbital bombardment from a capital ship. The heat that would have been in that ship the moment it exploded should have melted the beskar away by your logic...

I don’t think so because Gideon and Mando had the weapons clash in contact much longer. When Ahsoka had her duel, her strikes were fast and she used her skills to not get into a saber clash. She never held her lightsabers in contact with the staff for that long, unlike the Gideon/Mando battle.

[@cthrekgoru]

If I remember correctly, lightsaber’s cutting potential depends on user . Exar Kun struggled against beskar first. But after using force with his lightsaber he managed to cut it. I think Quigon also enhanced his lightsaber with force to cut through blast door. Ancient Sith Lords used metal swords. But they were enhancing them with force. They were cutting through anything. In my opinion If Luke goes against beskar , beskar might resist at first blow. But I think it won’t see the end of second blow. Luke will simply enhance its cutting potential with force. On the other hand if user is strong enough , you can’t cut that person. Shan manage to stop a lightsaber with her bare hands...

I would guess that the Darksaber has a more powerful blade due to the fact that it isn’t omnidirectional like the classic lightsaber. I would guess that the flat shape of the blade means more energy is focused on the edge of the saber, thus heating the Beskar as we see it do.

[@bluefaolan]

I think that there are two things that are worth mentioning here that serves to explain why the Darksaber could do visible damage to the beskar spear. One, I think all light sabers are capable of doing what we see the Moff do; all lightsabers have the ability to be used in phases, meaning that you can make the blade different lengths or widths. Dooku used this ability to vary his blade length to keep combatants guessing when he would go in for different strikes. Qui’gon Jin used this ability to cut through blastdoors in the phantom menace. But the second thing that makes the darksaber ideal for cutting through beskar is that it’s shape is more pointed, more thinly focused. Try cutting a 2X4 with a baseball bat vs using a saw, for example. Yeah the bat is going to do the job, eventually, but only with huge amounts of force put behind it. Whereas a saw can do it faster and with less energy. So, I submit that the darksaber is a) turned up to 11 at all times, unlike most lightsabers that only do that on occasion, and b) that it is shaped correctly for the task at hand. I feel like any other Jedi could have accomplished the same feat we see the Moff pull off, but the Jedi would have to know just how to tinker with the beam emitter to achieve a thin, but broad blade shape and how best to regulate the phasing of the beam so that it would consistently burn that hot. Now, I will add that I think where the darksaber might be unique is that it’s crystal is probably just more uniquely capable of burning that bright for extended periods of time, whereas a normal crystal might crack under the strain-should they turn it up that high and leave it on like that. I seem to recall other times where Jedis have used their lightsabers as cutting torches and they specifically said something about taking turns in order to prevent burn out of the crystals. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall this detail from somewhere. Either way, I think that Vizla probably knew how to balance those two properties in order to make a good cutting tool and that is probably one of the things that caused him to fall out of favor with the order. A Jedi’s weapon, as I have come to understand it, should be a graceful and sort of blunt weapon-something akin to a force imbued stick. Rather than sharpened to a point like a knife. Of course that would be the modern interpretation of a lightsaber, because we all know that in the early days they used force imbued swords with actual cutting edges. But for my money, that is part of why we see lightsaber blades take on a more rounded shape, because they are trying to make something less threatening than a thin beam of light that can slice through anything. Though, a good counter argument to that would be that the roundness just means you don’t have to worry about catching the opponent’s blade edge at just the right angle, too. So, who knows.

Idk, incandescence and melting aren’t the same thing, and especially with fantasy metals. As for whether that would even make it more useful I’m still doubtful regarding a broad application, I don’t think it would be anymore useful to darth Vader for example because the only thing it could cut that he couldn’t is beskar and he wouldn’t need to because he could use the force just like we saw Luke do. It’s a cool weapon but ultimately not all that more functionally different because the only specific scenario where if debatably has an advantage is one easily circumvented by the force.

[@616deathslayer616]

I agree on your first point, I don't think the darksaber can melt or really damage beskar In any meaningful way, just heat it up. The one use for that would be if someone is completely encased in beskar armour, you heat up their armour to burn them through it, though I personally think it's just artistic flair and the darksaber isn't actually any more powerful than a traditional saber.

The dark saber isn’t more powerful than a light saber. It’s been stated multiple times that if the dark saber ever were to contact a light saber on its sharp side (just like a normal sword), it could be cut in half. The difference between the two is like a metal straw and a knife. If you were cutting meat, a metal straw wouldn’t do anything. All you could do is slap the meat, maybe cut a hole in it, but that’s it. The knife however can cut through the meat. What’s happening with the dark saber in that fight scene is a similar instance. Same thing with the fight scene Ahsoka had. When Ahsoka’s blades touch the beskar, all it does is slide around. This is why beskar is so special. Tarre Vizsla (in my humble opinion) probably wanted to make a lightsaber that he could use to defeat any of his Mandalorian brothers if he needed to do so, hence the unique design.

[@TenToAceStudios]

when kanan was training sabine, he mentioned that the darksaber is "old, heavy, but powerfull" i like to think because of how old the darksber is, it doesnt have the same control over the amount of energy flowing through it, so it is constantly at max power. because of this it is always directing all of its energy into its attacks making it able to heat up pure beskar

It could literally just be a simple as the beskar staff heated up because the dark saber made contact with that one area for a longer period of time.

And to clarify, I mean that the parts are assembled and gathered for the direct purpose. But Ashoka is a tad bit different. Her current ones was by chance. They were just parts she found and turned into sabers. This is one of the only known times this happens to someone. Both of Luke sabers were intentional lightsabers. Every saber a youngling gets is intended to be a lightsaber from the getgo. But Ashoka was by chance.

He probably made it specifically so he could more reliably best his less-enlightened fellows in combat, if necessary, _without_ having to use the Force; after all, Mandalorians don't respect people who can't beat them in fair combat. I don't think the crystal itself is more powerful, though it does have interesting properties. Rather, I think the shape of the blade itself is what makes it better at cutting though Beskar; all of the energy of a normal cylindrical lightsaber blade being compressed into a near-planar shape would raise the energy-density, and thus the temperature. Technically, this means that _any_ lightsaber crystal could produce a blade capable of cutting like the Darksaber if the sheath containing the energy was shaped the same way; the obvious intent of such a blade, however, is as a weapon of war rather than a symbol of office and a tool of defense, hence why that style of lightsaber blade fell out of favor with the Jedi long ago.
