JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 its a misquote, I should have said add to their perfection, still either is illogical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 George Lucas says that Star Wars ’stands on the shoulders’ of Star Trek, but was its signature weapon actually inspired by Trek? The GeekInHeels blog has a new post, Top 5 Star Wars Designs and What Inspired Them, and it notes that the light saber was inspired by Asimov’s ‘force-blade’ but also notes the design has some similarities to Star Trek TOS items (notably the universal translator and phaser).

Naïve Old Fart 9,552 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Which brings us to the ultra geek quetion:Could a lightsaber deflect a phaser fired at a Jedi?-Mark, who's proud to admit he has no idea.Quite obviously, no, because the beam from the phaser travells at the speed of light, and no Jedi has reactions quick enough to avoid it.
