Zephrun’s Imperium Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Question's in the title. I was thinkin' about Star Wars and Stormlight and this happened so... would it be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamor Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I don't think so... I think that they are basically just lasers, so they likely would be unable to break a shardblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagliacci Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I doubt a lightsaber would be able to cut through a Shardblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Per Brandon, if he's writing the story a lightsaber can't cut a Shardblade. Quote Questioner IF they were to fight with a lightsaber and a Shardblade, which would be able to cut through the other? Brandon Sanderson Depends on who’s world you're in, that's what I would say. Is Lucas writing it or am I? Questioner Well say you are writing it, since we're-- Brandon Sanderson If I'm writing it I say they bounce off of each other. Shadows of Self San Francisco signing (Oct. 9, 2015) There's also this semi-relevant WoB: Quote Questioner How did you come up with Shardblades? Brandon Sanderson Here's the thing, I've seen a lot of fantasy art-- I love fantasy books, right-- and people often depict these enormous swords, which are completely impractical. So one of my pitches for Stormlight was "I want a world where they had to have weapons like they depict in this fantasy art" and I retrofitted it, what would they need these to actually fight? So that was the pitch for myself on Shardblades. And I was also annoyed that the coolest magic swords were in a science fiction story, Star Wars, I want cool magic swords that are not in a science fiction story.

SwordNimiForPresident Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I think the blade on a lightsaber is supposed to be plasma (which is just really hot stuff), so I’m going with Shards>sabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
