turns out the ball droid is a McQuarrie concept too btw
“I think Artoo was just described as a small robot. I thought of him as running on a giant ball bearing — just a sphere, a circle, wheel-like. He had gyros so he could go in any direction on this ball.”

My ball gyros keep them in the same position/direction no matter which way I turn.

This effect made cortosis a useful material for anti-lightsaber melee weapons, though with repeated strikes, a lightsaber could still cut through it.
i can only imagine that looking like this:

ok what bothers me about the lightsaber hilt now is if there's lightsaber beam underneath the metal tube bits which would still protect the wielder if someone else strikes through it, why don't they encase the entire hilt with that metal material? it would break pretty easily yeah but until that happens it would protect the wielder from the beams and allow them to regain that lost mobility that comes from constantly worrying if you're going to pierce yourself if you make a single mistake
if anyone who knows me or just anyone who like googles me for any reason finds this post please know that this is not representative of who i am as a person, i'm a really cool guy who does cool things and i have a lot to offer

I love you canon.
However, Maul managed to survive his defeat at the hands of Kenobi. Through his hate and will to live, as well as his hatred against Kenobi, he reached out with the Force and grabbed an air vent.[8]

can't really see that happening tbh w/o having the opposite end of the hilt up to yr throat or something, or having your opponent in a weird position where the blade wouldn't hit them first anyway
this is the worst movie ever

xxxp That Darth Maul thing was an entire story arc on the Clone Wars cartoon, where he was rescued by his brother -- I swear to god I am not making this up -- Savage Oppress*, and eventually given a regular pair of mechanical legs.
* This name was conceived by whichever one of Lucas's two daughters was a writer for the show. The younger one.

Yeah but the plot of the movie is pretty obvious:
-A stormtrooper wakes up in the desert after a heavy night of drinking.-Some X-wings take some now unemployed rebel soldiers wake-boarding-Some clumsy nerd kills himself with his stupid fucking light saber hilt in the woods somewhere. Nobody was anywhere near him and his body is never found. Good riddance.
