Star Wars Discussion Thread Canon/Legends- Episode VI Return of the Threadi

Honestly, a lot of things are edgy in Star Wars.

I like the concept of bleeding the most because it really gives weight to the red lightsaber.

Like, it's not just a red lightsaber.

It was created by causing pain and suffering to a living being (kyber crystal).

Honestly, I don't know which is more horrible: bleeding your own kyber crystal that's been with you and attuned to you since the day you built it, or killing a Jedi, stealing and causing pain and suffering to your most sacred item, and then using that same item to cause the death of others.
 
I just think it's a bit edgy, though, to be fair, a lot of things in verse are so eh.
Also the Sith are edge-lords, so it fits. I’m half joking, but being powered by rage & calling yourself a Dark Lord… idk if the shoe fits. This might be an old reference bc I rarely see pictures talking about the character, but the only major difference between Vader and Not Important is the aura.
 
I already said that this calculation can't be used because you're using an unacceptable Celsius value.

The accepted value was 28,000 Celsius.

If you don't agree with the accepted value, you can either run another CRT to determine a different temperature or perform a calculation to find the correct temperature.
 
You do realize you're not a calc member though
It doesn't matter, that's what was accepted.

You can't use a different value because that's the currently accepted amount.

No. I don't understand what it is even if I read it.

If you think a lightsaber is more like that and should have the temperature of that thing, then just make a CRT arguing that.
 
Furthermore, as I already mentioned, Luke's lightsaber isn't the same size as Qui-Gon's.

The hilts of their lightsabers are different lengths, which affects the overall size of the lightsaber (hilt + blade).
 
Also, didn't you want the temperature of a lightsaber to be calculated?
Yes, but in the calculation you're already assuming a temperature value instead of calculating the temperature?
These video(s) assumed that lightsabers have a temperature of 150000000 K based on Tokamak temperature, I will also use 30000 K as a mid ball and 1811 K for a low ball with a starting temperature of 288.15 K. The heat of fusion for steel is 13810 J/mol and the specific heat is 25.10 J/(mol·K). A density of 7874 kg/m^3 will be assumed.
Here you are not calculating the temperature, you are only assuming the temperature to calculate the AP.

Given that we already have a value which is 28,000 degrees Celsius.

-

If you think the tokamak temperature is more appropriate for a lightsaber, what you can do to use that temperature to determine the AP is to perform a CRT.

That's for the hilt though, not the blade
Whether the hilt of a lightsaber is shorter or longer affects the overall size of the lightsaber.

Not all lightsabers are the same size.

For example, Yoda's lightsaber is quite small.

What is so hard to understand?
All
 
Whether the hilt of a lightsaber is shorter or longer affects the overall size of the lightsaber.
It doesn't, lightsaber blades have been shown to be adjustable in length, it's not hard to say that for the purpose of standardization that all of the blades are kept the same length (with some exceptions)
If you think a lightsaber is more like that and should have the temperature of that thing, then just make a CRT arguing that.
Can we please wait for @Shadowbokunohero to find that scan about lightsaber temperature?
 
Besides Hagane calculating the lightsaber's temperature, is anyone planning anything in the canon?
possibly but i dont think it will be anything right away, ive already found some Country to High 6-A calcs for canon that id like for some of the calcers on our wiki to check out and see if they can make it work, just so we can have consistency and avoid scaling everyone from a single feat.
 
Can we please wait for @Shadowbokunohero to find that scan about lightsaber temperature?
no its okay, i suggest moving on without me in that regard, its something i read a few years ago but i didnt actively clip it as a scan or think about in terms of scaling, so it would be a shame to wait only to find out i was mistaken. i should prob not have mentioned it without having the scan on me but it popped in my mind during the discussion. but in retrospect i might have been thinking about Kyber crystals specifically being fine within the core of a sun versus the lightsaber temp itself, but ill prob going through some of the novels i own and see if i can find it.

being comparable to a magnitude 10 earthquake section is now back in canon, which would put it in the low 5-B range
so uh did this ship do smth to a planet to get the low 5-B rating?
 
Here is the opening of the article, it's very straightfoward, tell me what exactly is confusing about it:

En:
A tokamak is a machine which uses a powerful magnetic field generated by external magnets to confine plasma in the shape of an axially symmetrical torus. The tokamak is the leading candidate of magnetic confinement fusion designs being developed to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion power.

Tokamaks use a combination of a central solenoid and toroidal and poloidal magnets to shape a ring of plasma. This is heated by a range of methods, including neutral-beam injection, electron and ion cyclotron resonance, lower hybrid resonance. Nuclear fusion may be achieved, measured by neutron detectors. Due to requiring a continuously changing magnetic field, modern tokamaks sustain "plasma discharges" on the timescales of seconds or minutes.

Es:
La palabra Tokamak, acrónimo del ruso тороидальная камера с магнитными катушками -toroidálnaya mera s magnítnymi katúshkami- (en español: cámara toroidal con bobinas magnéticas), es un aparato cuyo objetivo es obtener la fusión de partículas de plasma, lo que generaría grandes cantidades de energía, para así conseguir la reacción nuclear de fusión de dos partículas ligeras en una partícula más estable de peso medio y producir una energía en relación con la equivalencia de Einstein:

E=m⋅c^2
Las ventajas de la fusión sobre la fisión (que se utiliza hoy en las centrales nucleares) son: a) no produce desechos radiactivos directos y b) no precisa de un combustible no renovable y tan escaso como el uranio. En cambio, es mucho más difícil de iniciar: Hasta la fecha no se ha alcanzado el punto de equilibrio entre la energía que se necesita para acelerar y confinar el plasma y la que se obtiene con la fusión de algunas partículas. Sin embargo, no hay razones teóricas para ello, sino sólo razones técnicas, que el proyecto internacional ITER trata de resolver.
