Is it scientifically possible to construct a lightsaber? Lasers are real right? So just have to find a way to control its length....electromagnetics, gravity, strong nuclear force maybe?

You make something similar, video related.

Maybe if you could project a magnetic field in a bar-shape you could contain some plasma with it.

>Is it scientifically possible to construct a lightsaber?

Depends on your definition of a "lightsaber," I guess. Does a blowtorch count? Lightsabers in the SW universe aren't described except with nonsense technobabble.
>>
Why control the legnth? Just hook up a CO2 laser to a battery backpack and enjoy unlimited cutting fun. Your Jedi opponent will be shitting themselves while you ignore their shitty sword and scorch their face off.

I would create it around a monowire of sorts, emitting an aura of "energy".

No.

Right.

No.

I'm no scientist, but I heard the main problem is shaping plasma to a controlled length.

why the fuck do you want to limit your weapon's range you fucking cuck?

Here's two cases:

1. You get a laser. You point it at your enemy. Your enemy dies.

2. You take a glow stick and use it as a sword.
You enemy shoots you in your fucking face, but you live long enough to see him fuck your wife and daughter to death.

Star wars is a stupid normie meme. Go fuck fuck yourself and your stupid pop-sci concepts that corrupt the minds of people with a false understanding of physics and practicality.

Why do light Sabres collide with each other?

This.
Even when I was enchanted with this as a kid, this part made even less sense to me than force lightning.

We need some dank crystals.

because fiction. sword fighting would be stupid to watch if the swords went through each other.

>even less sense to me than force lightning.
It's fucking magic, what more explanation do you really need?
>>
Force lightning actually makes the most sense. Certainly more than lightsabers and force choking.

thorium crystals?

Lightsabers are plasma, not light

They all make equal sense. They're psychic powers. Psychic powers controlling particles. Making lightning, crushing things, holding plasma in a shaped force field.

What doesn't makes sense is why they need the light part or why they deflect things with it. They could just deflect things with their mind and use light whips or something.

>>7735799
Just make a really hot rod of something as a sword. It'll have the same effect, glowing and all.
>>
>>7736070
Try not to go too in depth please

Yes it possible but the requirement is pretty Ridiculous.Unlike Vacuum Tube.You need to find a way to trap photons.And you have to find the right particles interact with photons (Its Like Neutron Trapping Electron).

maybe
