Lightsabers
Are they toggle or hold?
>>66970794
toggle, since you can throw them
You hold them with the force.
the button is to change colors retard
They turn off when people drop them so hold
They're probably both, depending on the user's preference for the given situation. In that universe Jedi probably even judge each other based on their preference, toggle being patrician and hold being pleb
>>66970945
Han Solo and Storm Nigger can use them so no
>>66971213
how do you explain Vader being able to throw it while it's still lit?
Luckily, I'm a nerd.
>>66972208
holding down button with force, so every pleb can turn it on, but only force dude can throw them
>>66972208
Hold the switch down with the force, duh.
>>66972208
He threw it really fast, before the button had time to pop back up.
They just play the throw in slow motion for dramatic effect.
beam sabers > light sabers
>lightsaber construction involves rigorous trials and rare crystals
>any sucka can just pick one up from a dead Jedi
>>66972277
literally the same thing
Entirely left to each Jedi's preference when he build his saber.
>>66972316
Light Sabers are basically lasers, Beam Sabers are super heated metal particles.

Having to hold down the button with the force in the midst of battle is needless a distraction and waste of force power you fucking retards, you would rather focus all of your mental powers on the battle at hand, and not have to worry about a stupid button being held down. Thus, it's hold.

>implying it's not a push button that stays pushed once pushed

Sorry, in my frustration with the stupid 'hold' people in this thread i accidentally finished my point with 'hold' instead of 'toggle'. Seems i'm a bit of a retard as well.
>>66972604
Don't worry anon.We're all slightly retarded.
>>66970794
toggle, you fucking idiot.
They turn it on, THEN THEY THROW THE SHIT AND IT STAYS ON, are you dumb as bricks or something?
>>66973021
The hold people are the same ones that defend the PT, nothing about them surprises me anymore.
>>66972232
I'm now imagining a scene where a very frustrated Jedi and Sith are using the Force to turn down the length of each other's sabers while furiously cranking their own dials to bring their blades back up.
>>66970794
My thought is that it's hold.
(Why else would they turn off on their own multiple times?)
However, they are "hold" in the sense that minimal pressure on the button keeps them held, so when you "throw them", they keep pushed down, since no one ever just throws a lightsaber. They guide it with the force. Keeping pressure on the grip is no extra task when you're already holding onto it with the force.
>>66970794
depends on how the jedi built it. some chose to make inner switches so that only through the force could they turn them on.
Why hasn't a jedi ever used the force to turn off his opponent's lightsaber in the middle of a battle?
>>66970860
You could hold with the force
>>66976130
Probably too hard to focus, plus the opponent could counter it.

Then why whenever a lit lightsaber is knocked out of someone's hand in these movies, it immediately deactivates?
hold with a safety catch so that you can throw it
