AliasTheory Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 That one is easy. Nearly all lightsabers have a pressure sensor. So, it would only turn on when there is pressure applied on the handle, not possible to turn it on without holding it. It would turn off when you let go of it. However there are rare lightsabers without it. So I guess if you drop it on the metal floor it would cut through it, quite a bit, then when the hilt itself hits the floor, it would bounce up and land on its side.Out of curiosity, may I have a source? Is it somewhere on the Wookiepedia? For the rare lightsabers, I was thinking if you could hypothetically drop it straight down on the same plane it would just cut forever, and thus fall forever since the hilt never contacts a solid surface. Wouldn't the saber make a hole in the ground? Anyway. I will be back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do that, so the hilt keep on falling, not really possible as the diameter of the hilt is bigger than the cutting radius on average. However, get a longer and thinner hilt, and there you go, forever cutting machine! I think that is somewhere on Wookiepedia, as I remembered looking up lightsabers on there. Anyway, What if we had to breathe Co2 instead of oxygen? Edited December 7, 2010 by Omeletter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal isn't to have these questions answered, but to post silly, funny, or just plain weird "what-if" questions. And as for your responses, I'll take them in order... Chickens are MUCH easier to kill than a cow.Just because they can talk, doesn't mean bad things wouldn't happen to them. I mean, look at how many children are abused every year.Yes, jello WOULD considerably increase in value.Ever hear of Pack Hunters? Imagine five hundred hungry mice with sharp fangs...Yes, they HAVE walked the earth, but not recently. Wouldn't it be kinda cool to look out the window and see a compsygnathus or stegosaurus?I think after about a week, the focus would be back on which celebrity just got out of rehab.
