Don't for...About guns being force multipliers. Don't forget that the Old Republic Jedi (pre-Ruusan Reformation) and Sith were at the "ripping suns in half and destroying planets" level of power and "godlike" skill with a lightsaber. So, given that, what they could not deflect with a lightsaber they could stop with the Force. Which means force multipliers almost (but not quite) didn't matter against them. They were simply too powerful.<br /><br />Post-Ruusan Reformation era Jedi, however, had lost nearly all of their power, skill, and techniques in both the Force and lightsaber combat and construction thanks to Jedi Lord Hoth the Moron-to-End-All-Morons. Because complete disarmament and stripping the Jedi of their armor and banning most of their combat knowledge and training regimes to ensure "peace" is such a great idea after barely winning a galactic-scale, nearly apocalyptic war. That couldn't POSSIBLY be a bad idea (spoiler: it was).<br /><br />The result was that Post-Ruusan Jedi were woefully inadequate on the battlefield and only good for...well...peacekeeping. Even then, only peacekeeping missions that did not involve open warfare unless they were sent in spec-ops style for precision action. The Clone Wars forced them onto the battlefield where they no longer had the skill and knowledge to survive, let alone thrive like their ancient brethren did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-37911702319730257772016-04-12T14:59:48.422-05:002016-04-12T14:59:48.422-05:00No. sorry but I am going to ramble on.

To me it is the worst kind of white guilt. <br />“We are so sorry that we forced our system of measuring time on you poor unfortunate peoples. So now we are just going to change the name and now everything will be better”. We wont change the basis of the “zero date” or respect you calendars, but <br />Most other countries (Japan, China, Israel etc.) when they use pre/post systems, they use BC/AD. <br />However I do respect you right to disagree.<br />Great site, glad I found it. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14945473067997736832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-48017060948746818332016-04-07T13:47:26.951-05:002016-04-07T13:47:26.951-05:00Not happy with BCE?

Why? That would look so nice... <br />About the real life lightsaber, the Orbital Vector website mentions "particle fountain sword", and that's interesting, but I doubt we can make it like In Star Wars... <br />Also, are you planning modular weapons blogpost in the near future?
