Zephrun’s Imperium they/he 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 she/her 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 he/him 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 the sword/that sword 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...
