And shotguns. And phasers set to wide beam. And rocks. And lots of blasters fired at once, from multiple directions. And grenades.Haliwali said:Nerdiest answer ever spoken:
Lightsabers deflect anything but other lightsabers and Cortosis.
Nope - not if the phasers are set on wide beam - like 10-20 degree dispersal.NickCaligo42 said:This raises possibly the nerdiest question ever asked.
Do lightsabers deflect phasors?![]()
The Reverend said:Actually, its more a story that rips off history a fair bit. Annakin (sp?) was "born of the force" or whatever the hell happened. Irregardless, his mother didn't ride the hobby horse to conceive him. Virgin birth anyone?And star wars is just a typical story about heroes having a space cowboy, and a futuristic asmatic nazi cyborg in the cast
And then theres the whole Jedi elimination business. Also taken from history. I'm going to assume you all know who the Knights Templar are. Well, history tells us that they were "proper minted" and held a lot of power in 14th century Europe, particularly France. So, in cahoots with the Pope, the King of France conspired to have the Knights Templar removed once and for all (cue evil cackle and mustache twiddling) So he sent letters to all his troops to be opened on Friday the thirteenth, which said "Kill dem templar doodz" Or something to that effect, at least.
So on that Friday, the French soldiers opened the letters and had themselves a Templar slaying field day. (And is the reason that Friday the 13th is now considered unlucky, it certainly was for the Templars.) Now, if you remember that point in the 3rd remake, all the clone soldiers get the order at the same time to kill all the Jedi. Somewhat similar don't you think?
As for the whole point of this topic, well, it would probably be an even fight, depending on who actually was involved and what toys they could play with.
How do Borg shields react to ion cannons? (ionized particle beams?)Elim Garak said:Not to mention the Borg - they alone could take down the SW universe.
Yes, yes I am.wow score points for teaching me something and being able to not bore me to peices about history. are you some awesome history teacher or something?
You forgot the elite force of Chinese Panda's that took Kyushu for 2 months in 1944 before being driven out by a unit of magically powered riceballs and Sushi.wanted to teach history, but people disagree with my interpretation of the events of World War 2...
APPARENTLY, there Nazi forces didn't have mecha, the Americans didn't fly giant B-52 bombers kamakazi style into the vatican, the leader of the Russian forces wasn't Yakov Smirnoff, and Japanese Kates and Zeros weren't flown using the Wiimote. Shows what these so called historians know.
im sure the borg would deflect them after a few hits, its the same case with every colorouful energy weapon as where i knowjabrwock said:How do Borg shields react to ion cannons? (ionized particle beams?)Elim Garak said:Not to mention the Borg - they alone could take down the SW universe.
