What Is a Lightsaber Blade Made Of?
Unquestionably, the lightsaber is a fantastic invention. It is fair to say that this is the most famous object in the Star Wars universe. More people know it than they do Luke Skywalker, the Death Star, or TIE fighters. The lightsaber's iconic hum adds to its popularity.
It's also true that even many big fans don't think much about what a lightsaber is made of. They know it's a cool-looking, cutting-edge blade that resembles a laser.
If you take the hobby of lightsabers seriously, you should be aware of the processes involved in creating these formidable weapons. This is a great chance to look at how the famous lightsaber blade works. The Star Wars stories show it, and people use it in the twenty-first century on Earth.
Lightsaber Blades in the Star Wars Universe
Let us start with the lightsaber in the cinematic universe created by George Lucas and his associates. Recall that when we discuss a lightsaber's blade, we refer to the cylindrical part that extends from the hilt (handle) and causes harm.
The blade works well when cutting in any direction. Its impact force does not depend on the user's strength. For this reason, younglings should be very careful when using lightsabers. Even a quick, careless touch can cause serious harm.
What makes these blades so hazardous is the material they are composed of. It's not what the name might suggest—it's not light.
Pure plasma lightsaber is a special state of matter. It can be shaped by electromagnetic forces. When released from a hilt, lightsaber blades can cut through most known materials. In addition to its fighting applications, users can also utilize lightsaber plasma as a close-range light source because of its high brightness.
In the Star Wars universe, plasma is frequently connected to the planet Naboo. The planet's crust contains a lot of plasma. This plasma is regularly harvested and used as a valuable energy source on Naboo.
But lightsaber blades are not made in Naboo. They originate from kyber crystals, which are rare but naturally occurring on various planets.
These crystals connect to the Force. When placed correctly in a hilt, they can create a strong blade. This blade makes the lightsaber a powerful weapon in battle.
Traditionally, the planet Ilum's revered Crystal Cave, governed by the Jedi, was home to many kyber crystals. The Jedi Masters expected young Jedi to search the Cave for their kyber crystal as part of a rite of passage called the Gathering.
Lightsaber Blades in the Ultraforcesabers Universe
Ultraforcesabers provide no use of plasma energy in the lightsabers. Instead, their blades comprise durable polycarbonate tubes with a film within them to provide bright illumination.
Thermoplastic polymer polycarbonate is known for having a high impact resistance. Our polycarbonate lightsaber blades work incredibly well for sparring because of this. You can even use them without worrying about hurting them in full-contact combat.
When the blade is turned off, the clear polycarbonate used to make the Midgrade and heavy-grade versions takes on a metallic aspect. White polycarbonate used in Ultraedge models gives the impression of being "fuller" since light extends to the blade's end.
The white and clear polycarbonate is as strong as the other types. However, the heavy-grade models have thicker blade walls than the others. As a result, using heavy-grade swords against non-heavy-grade models is typically not advised.
