@@BogomilHristov-tm1iv Seeing as how they barely use it for anything--except Rey "Skywalker" who does whatever she wants with it--not really.
Obi Wan: Blasters are clumsy
Also Obi Wan: *hits every shot*
Just because he doesn't like using them doesn't mean he wouldn't be well versed in their use
Just like Matthew Quigley says in Quigley Down Under: “I said I never had much use for (a revolver), I never said I didn’t know how to use one.”
Jedi aim
So uncivilized
*If generation tech actually did any research on how EVIL Samurai were,* he would know samurai in the Warring States (Sengoku) period were taxing people to fund their pointless wars. In the "peaceful" Edo period after, they were pure evil enforcers quelling the population from uprising due to heavy taxes. *Under the Samurai oppression, every year 1/3 of the Japanese mothers had to kill their own babies in a ritual called MABIKI.* Google it. It became so commonplace until they didn't even feel bad about it, and rationalized it as "killing a baby is not murder, they are not full human beings, so it is merely returning babies to ghostly spirits." In the 300 years of the Edo Period, the Japanese population increase rate was close to 0 because of such heavy taxation. The "peaceful" taxation of the people was because Japan didn't have a strong enough central government system, and let feudal lords set tax rates however they wanted.
But at the same time, the central Shogun wanted to prevent lords from amassing private armies again like in the previous Warrings States period, so he heavily taxed the lords. The lords of course just raised taxes of the people to make up for lost money. To quell dissent, Kirisute Gomen was given: the license for samurai to kill peasants under whatever perceived slights. Still in the 300 year "peaceful" Edo period, over 7000 local revolts happened when peasants were backed into straight up starvation, and 100s of Uchikowashi which is a whole peasant town raiding a rich samurai or merchant's home and raping the family and tearing down everything and stealing all their stuff. For centuries, in Asia, Japanese were known to be short people because of their general malnutrition.
Samurai were so hated, that samurai never let themselves go into alleys in cities because peasants would be waiting to swarm them and kill them.
Ofc, this is nothing compared to what Okinawans had to do from Japanese raids and taxes. Think Viking taxation of the English but 10 times worse. Records say just to decrease census and being taxed by headcount, they pushed pregnant women off cliffs, and bashed babies onto rocks when it was around time for samurais to threaten Okinawans to pay up. The Ainu natives on the mainland were killed and the survivors forced to pay even more taxes than the general Japanese colonizers. They fled to the cold northlands of Hokkaido, but in the 19th century Japan properly invaded and took over Hokkaido and Okinawa anyway. Pockets of Ainu live on in Hokkaido or in Russian Kuril Islands, fleeing from brutal persecution.
Jedi are more like Shaolin Monks, who ACTUALLY meditate as part of their life, and as Buddhists, they are forbidden to kill living creatures, even to the point that some sects don't eat meat. They aren't part of anyone's government either, and from time to time they did spread influence independent of the government and the government outsourced a few projects to them.
Plus, they also were more acrobatic with their martial arts and wore robes. Samurai wear expensive armor paid with the taxes of the overburdened peasants and NEVER jump around. Monks would never commit suicide, Samurai commited harakiri to uphold their lord's honor and in exchange for killing himself his family got heaviliy rewarded to encourage the samurai to go through with it, and this made the lord look like an awesome person who had men willing to die for him at his beck and call.
In hindsight, Obi Wan was a little too calm sitting there while Luke twirled that lightsaber around like a two-year-old who just found mommy's kitchen knife.
He was guiding him with the Force.
If he slipped up you would have caught him.
Not to mention the lightsaber was probably on a low setting
@@jamesricker3997 You just made all of that up, and I disagree.
I disagree too. Obi-Wan maybe had the perspective of many actual seniors; 'i lived thru it, see if YOU can.'
I dont know if there are low settings on lightsabers... isnt it just on and off?
@@deyonvandraanen7492 there are length settings i think
"Jedi do not carry blasters."
Shows Obi-wan killing his archenemy with a blaster. (Though to be fair, he wasn't carrying that blaster, he just picked it up from the floor when he had the chance and no lightsaber.)
"A Jedi must be trained."
Shows a clip of Rey.
"When a Jedi usually has the ability to close the distance between themselves and the attacker and then use one of their many abilities to subdue the attacker without killing them."
Shows Mace Windu decapitating Jango Fett.
Well, ok then.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be ironic
I know it was.
As Obi Wan said after shooting Grievous (So uncivilised)
Something something only a Sith deals in absolute.
What he *actually* said was "a jedi must continuously hone their skills". No mention of training was made.
>don’t carry guns
>totally fine with piloting ships with huge cannons
You don't carry a vehicle weapon, so maybe it doesn't count?
Depending on the ship, someone else has to man the cannon
CrabTastingMan the hell does that have to do with this comment thread? You are SOOOO off topic
Haha blaster go pew pew
NOT PRODUCTIVE PRODUCTIONS he has been putting this all over the place just ignore him and he’ll go Reeeeeeeeeee to those who care
You can only imagine the survivors of grievous asking obi wan
“How?! How did you stop that monster!”
“...I shot him?”
“..really?”
“Yup..right in the chest”
“Gotta remember that for next time”
A slug thrower would have been better, actually. Lightsabers don't work on bullets, and Grievous couldn't stop them with the Force. He'd have been dead long before ROTS if they'd done that.
James LeDuke lightsabers kinda work on slugs, if blocked you won’t get hit by the slug proper, but get showed in liquid slag. But Grievous was mostly covered in armor so he could probably ignore it. What you need is to fight him with something forged with Cortoris.
@@crowsenpai5625 It may _possibly_ melt the slug. While the general consensus is lightsabers are focused plasma blades, we're not 100% sure of the full mechanics. Considering the speed at which bullets travel, and depending on the material they're made of, it's possible they might not melt (or not entirely) and could hit the lightsaber holder mostly unimpeded.
There's also the possibility of the slug travels too fast for the force user to react in time. Our bullets travel over 100X faster than blaster fire, and they aren't actually easily visible to the untrained naked eye.
I think the best material to use in a projectile against a lightsaber wielder would be some kind of alloy consisting of Cortosis and a (relatively) strong metal. The Cortosis could potentially cause their lightsaber to short out for a bit and allow other attacks through their normal defense even if the initial attack was avoided.
"Yeah his organs were like, super flammable for some reason too?"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. Two shots and they just exploded."
@@jamesleduke873 Lightsabers do work on slugthrowers, they just get overpowered easily, and only throw back liquid bullets that don’t go far. However, I’m not sure that Grievous’s armor could be breached by a slugthrower.
Jedi with lightsaber: “I must seek a peaceful resolution”
Jedi with blasters: *Singing merrily* “Praise the Force and pass the ammunition!”
“Jedi do not carry blasters”
Then Obi-wan kills his archenemy with a blaster
“So uncivilized!”
I think we have to give Maul the archenemy title.
SuperClonezzz Productions he didn’t carry the blaster on his hip
Carrying a blaster is not the same as using a blaster, the same way dealing in absolutes is not the same as believing in absolutes.
@@gups4963 I think ur right, Maul was only focused on Kenobi, while Gerivous was focused on Jedi as a whole.
I just imagine a jedi Holding 8 telekinesis blasters and just shooting at enemies from everywhere at once.

Jedi: "NOoooOooo , You Can't just kill people with a lightsaber"
Siths: " Hehe, Saber goes swoom swoom "
A lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi Knight.
Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster.
An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age.
BUT 100% LESS PRACTICAL THAN A MODERN DAY FIREARM!
@@pyeitme508 America!!! F**k yeah. Coming in to save the motherf**king day, yeah!!!
and a jedi can be killed by a random blaster bolt fired by an assassin.

Look what happened at shiroyama
Thank the ancestors that they are so honorable. Can you imagine a force user with grenades? Or just flipping the switch on a detonator while it's inside your belt?
Caperton Humphreys I think I remember a comic where Vader does that last one, this bit when an entire rebel army corners him in a desert and he detonated all of their thermal detonators.

"Uses one of their many abilities to subdue the enemy without killing them"
Shows Jango Fett getting disarmed then decapitated
If they are in a battlefield in a war situation(also outnumbered) then they have to kill their opponents.
Jango Fett just lost his blaster. Now Mace Windu - that was a disarming.

@CrabTastingMan: there is that and the fact they can’t win a war against anyone who isn’t Japanese, their equipment and tactics were just so bad
And then there is Ezra who combined his lightsaber with a stun gun
But not a blaster, there is a difference
Ezra wasnt trained from birth and has pre existing thoughts that are different to jedi who were all taught the same thing
Its more like a tazer
let’s just pretend that Ezra Bridger doesn’t exist
And then he got a real blaster after he built his second lightsaber, so Ezra is always the sword + gun style of fighter.
As someone who has done a lot of fencing in his life, I would like to add that when a "bullet" leaves a gun, there is no real connection to the target. In fencing,when you best your opponent "run him through, cut him down" you are for a brief moment connected to the other end of that weapon as they are cut down. It can be a very personal moment when you know beyond any doubt, that YOU are the person that took them down.
As someone who's had to open fire on another human being trying to kill me, it's not so simple to put a living thing in your sights and apply five or more pounds of pressure to the trigger knowing once you pull said trigger, the sear, hammer/ striker drops, there's no turning back, even if your life depended on it. Once you see that bullet hits its target you know beyond all doubt you spilt that guy's guts and destroyed parts of his vital organs and very good possibility of killing him if not killed outright. It's not any easier even if the guy deserved it or if it was self-defense or defense of innocent third parties and it was you/innocents or them.
Even in war it's not so easy to shoot someone, even if they are the enemy and he's trying to kill you.
I suppose you've killed a bunch of people fencing, right.....
You don't know shit about shooting people, signed, combat soldiers everywhere.
Give it a rest, tryhard. Punks like you wouldn't last five minutes in an actual sword fight
Gentlemen? I suspect my soon to be ex has been using my account to cause drama. Firstly, I am a woman, so I wouldn't have said, "in his life". Secondly, I am a fencer, while he hasn't picked up a sword in almost a decade. He just likes to shoot his mouth off. Thirdly, while I am reasonably successful in my sport (18 years worth) I am smart enough not to bring a sword to a gunfight. While my skills may have been of some use 500 years ago, I'm certain there is a world of difference between a sport and actual combat. And should you be so ignorant as to assert that a woman cannot defeat a man in a sword fight, I can assure you that a great many women are perfectly capable of doing so. I could provide you with historical examples, but you don't strike me as the sort who would be interested in that sort of thing. I wish you well , but I have no interest in an argument that someone else caused.

*Cut to an injured Jango Fett pacing backwards in retreat trying to stop a charging Mace Windu from killing him*
His pack was also damaged or he wouldn't have died
*Nods*
Jango was such an underutilized character. Mace was the worst Jedi for Jango to face up against.
Jango's decapitation was as lame as Boba's fall into the Sarlacc.
Seems like the Fett's are cursed to die in stupid ways.
@@deanwest2744 Boba didn't die ther though.
Or was that made non cannon by Disney?
You'd think that they would prefer a blaster's stun setting to dismembering people.
I don't think most blasters have it.
Good point but I think the main reason is it wouldn't be as flashy or entertaining
Didn't lightsabers also have a low power mode? Maybe burns on the level of a taser would be a bit better than hacking off limbs?
@@Appletank8 not that I am aware of. Maybe the proto lightsaber did?
@@Appletank8 actually training lightsaber do but the low power mode is still dangerous.

@@JupiterKnight Yes, Rey is a Mary Sue

From what I put together, the concept was meant to be inspired from how a samurai cherishes and carries his sword. The elegance they describe of it is that you give that sword purpose, and treat it as a physical extension of yourself. Even when more efficient firearms were coming out you never saw samurai permanently exchange the sword for a rifle. This was Lucas's original inspirations of the jedi however when preparing the series. Just as you would know a samurai by his robe/armor and sword, you would know a jedi by his robe/armor and lightsaber. The other aspect of the reason they do not carry blasters is because of how soldiers and criminals carry them, they must stick to tradition and not be seen as a soldier but a peacekeeper.
"Blasters are too lethal"
*Shoots sith foot, or just sets it to stun*
say again?
Set it to stun? Like in Star Trek?
I never really thought it could be *set* to stun, but I just knew that there were some stun type blasters.

Obi-Wan: “Because they’re uncivilized.”
Then there’s Ezra who used a unique lightsaber that shot blaster. A gun-blade style lightsaber. Which I still think it's cool.
He would make a good Jedi Paladin. 😎
Ezra’s lightsaber looked like a staple gun with a lightsaber blade
Video: "Jedi do not carry blaster"
Me: Their two canon jedi who use blaster. They're Kanan and Ezra.
Plus in star wars legends. Their are few jedi who use blasters during the clone wars and old republic. But the counsel disproved of them.

Another good reason: like the Samurai class in the Edo period, maybe they are now carried specifically for dueling other force users - i.e. force users are a dueling culture.
Hence why the Sith don't use blasters either despite being a violent Order - it is not only symbolic, defensive, stylistic, but also part of a ritualized system of honor/challenge.
Sith can also be berserkers on the battlefield. They can use their Force enhanced speed and reflexes to get in close with most ranged units. Then there's force lightning.
Exactly. This is established very early. First implied with Ben's description of light sabers as elegant and civilized, then driven home when Vader sets up a private duel with his old master rather than sending a thousand troopers to kill him.
Strangely enough, in The Star Wars RPG revised edition, all Jedi classes start off with blaster proficiency.
I think Jedi in general are trained how to use a multitude of weapons, just in case they're put in a position when they may need to use a different weapon
Imagine a Jedi pulling out a durasteel pipe and then engaged thugs with blaster then proceed to break bones.
I used to be a Jedi like you, then I took a Wookiee bolt to the knee.
The actual "Jedi" career in "Rise of the separatists" and "Collapse of the Republic" doesn't actually get any ranged (heavy) or ranged (light). But that's just the more recent ffg books.
@@spacehitler4537 FFG is fantasy flight games, right? Never played them.
I always thought that a jedi dual wielding a lightsaber in one hand and a blaster of some kind in the other would be pretty brutally effective against most opponents. It would definitely be more worthwhile to two-hand the lightsaber against certain opponents, like the more advanced droids or other force users, but against many opponents, it would easily improve their combat effectiveness, especially given training by those who have been able to use blasters effectively using nothing but the force to wield them.
That would make them analogous to a pistol and sword wielding officers of old. But if they gotten into a lightsaber duel they probably wouldn't want tibana gas cartridge on them.
Sith gun-kata fighter (blaster-kata), great idea :D
“Jedi do not carry blasters” - a Jedi that used blasters
To be fair, he not carrying on his person for Long term use.
He doesn't carry them, he merely borrows them when they're needed.
You don’t know the difference between “carry” and “use” do you?
Because it would be hard to justify the clones winning the battle of the temple if Jedi had those as well as lightsabers
Gups not really if they simply had shields and turtle formation, which would’ve allowed them to endure the Jedi’s fire power whilst retaining the ability to shoot, whereas jedis would’ve had to chose between firing and defending themselves (for most of them). And Anakin could’ve acted as a tank, being able to parry many incoming lasers as well as closing the distance, forcing the other Jedi to draw their swords. It would’ve certainly made it more difficult though.
Jon Umine well... I would say that considering they had a thousand years of peace and absolute dominance, you could tend to be a little more lenient on the defenses... But considering the Sith raid on Coruscant, and the fact that they were at war during more than 10-15 years prior to the temple slaughter, and the fact that there was a separatist attack on Coruscant mere month or so prior to said event, and the fact that they knew about the existence of the Sith resurgence since years, decades in fact, and the fact that they knew their connection with the force was clouded by a master of the dark arts, and the fact that they knew the senate was controlled by a Sith on Coruscant... yeah, they are indefensible, they should’ve had transformed their temple into a fortress.
I mean, some droid sentinels, automated turrets, some people to tell everyone about dangers, and a security team wouldn’t have been too much to ask.
I say « droids » because clones were better used on a battlefield, and apart from them, I can’t see anyone the Jedi would’ve wanted to be allowed in their temple 24/7.
And some security protocols as well as a place to take refuge in in case the temple was attacked.
Well... I guess that’s one more problem in SW we’ll have to ignore or to come up with a mildly forced explanation for ^^
The clones that went too raid the temple were trained to overwhelm Jedi with numbers. Also most of the Knights and masters were away doing battle. Ask that was left were the guardians of the temple and Jedi trainees
rethscion and ? That’s just another reason to take extreme caution.
Nathan Jora It was three years but still.
Short answer: “So uncivilized!”
Long answer: Video
I’ve always found the excuse that the blade has no weight to be rather empty. The lightsaber makes a noise as it goes through the air. And as we clearly see the saber cuts through hard material by burning through it. So as it cuts through the air, it’s going to super heat the air, hence the hum of the air exploding. This will have a kickback. Thus the blade moving through the air will have a locating feedback.
Why Jedi don't use blasters, the short version ...
Against average non-force-using foes - Why carry your own blaster when your lightsaber can just as easily bounce the enemies shots back at them?
Against other force-using foes like Sith - Why even try to shoot someone that can use their lightsaber to bounce your shots right back at you?
Tell that to Ki-Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura
Or learn the use the force to change the direction of the blaster fire. Like Hal Horse or Mista from JoJo.
Ezra's first lightsaber that combined a kyber crystal powered blaster AND a lightsaber was the most useful lightsaber ever.
Easy solution: blaster with a plasma bayonet
Reminds me of a Siang Lance. Plus, pretty sure blasters have varying power settings, so you can certainly use one in a Non-lethal fashion. I'd take a small burn over an amputation any day.
So no one played the original first battlefront,huh.
I like how you think.
"Jedi do not carry blasters!"
Me: Dass Jennir * cough * * cough *
Dass Jennir is so underrated. Too bad he is only a Legends Jedi master.
A master whom does not hesitate on using a gun.
(Underrated because he is a survivor of both Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge)
Glad you mentioned him. 👍
Or Kyle Katarn, who carried an arsenal worthy of the punisher!
I learned from playing Battlefront 2
You see a Lightsaber: You all open fire or Run
If you're wielding a Lightsaber: Keep that thing off till u can get close and then ignite it. Makes u less of a target long range, and 7 get a scare factor when u ignite it 5 feet I front of a group of enemies.
Umm... If a jedi runs up to a person with a blaster without igniting their lightsaber the jedi is gonna die + in battlefront, you can't really decide how you swing a lightsaber so it is not what you think
Mr. Llama that’s if you play like a dummy. Always approach in a flanking maneuver, then ignite, that way they don’t hear you until it’s too late and they are less likely to see you without a glowing death blade. If you don’t have the elements of surprise, ignite, play defensively and close the distance or just leave.
Yes, always try to flank and use force abilities to disorient opponents.
Unless you’re greivous and you can crawl on the floor and win

So, are we going to be forgetting the stun setting on blasters? I understand that not all blasters had a stun setting, but you can just buy one with a stun setting. Then you don't have to worry about cutting off limbs, you just stun them.
The problem is that stun is probably useless against enemies wearing armor.

"Without killing them"
*shows mace beheading a nearly disarmed Jango Fett*
6:34 point -- "Everything about how a Jedi was trained and equipped was geared toward a peaceful resolution to conflict."
A good short-barreled scattergun (you said that would be your choice for a weapon in the Star Wars Universe) has a similar effect on common hoodlums.
2:42 How is he even aiming that thing? No crosshairs or other aiming implements meant for line of sight fire, yet his aim is true more often than not. Perhaps the real reason Jedi don't use blasters is because someone saw them use it once and yelled 'Hax!' :p
“Which is why you never see a Jedi slicing themselves by accident. Something that would probably happen if an ordinary person wielded a lightsaber long enough.”
*FN-2187* - Hold my beer
You mean Finn?
finn only held a lightsaber for a short period of time. He meant like if someone wield it for weeks or even months
to be fair. He used it like a baton during the stormtrooper fight, and just a stick to block stuff during the kylo fight. Basically what you expect a normal soldier to use it as. If he got cocky and did some spins then yeah no more arms.
“Subdue an attacker without killing them”
*decapitates Jango Fett*
"Your lightsaber is an invaluable tool. Even when inactive it can defuse a potentially volatile situation. Trust me on that."
Jedi Master Kyle Katarn
Said the jedi who regularly used blasters and only used his lightsaber when facing other lightsaber wielding foes.
Okay, so they can kill them, they just prefer to not kill them too much.
"Oops, I over-killed you. Sorry buddy."
The complete star wars encyclopedia also said that the lightsaber mirrors the jedi mentality, they are passive and would rather defend than attack, but that still doesn't explain why more jedi didn't use a concept similar to Ezra's lightsaber, a combination of a lightsaber and a low powered blaster
Yeah, you'd think that they'd prefer a blaster's stun setting to dismemberment.
They didn't because the writers never had anyone do it.

A lightsaber blaster combo is cool in my opinion
Thats terrifying
True dat. If I was a jedi I would definitely use a blasters. I don't care what the counsel and order thinks. It a weapon use as a tool. But it would be a non-lethal blaster.
LIGHTSABER BAYONETS

6:13 “and use one of their many abilities to subdue their attacked without killing em” *cuts head off*
5:32 Not just the amen, but the awomen and the achildren too
Hey, Allen! What about the Jedi Paladins who used both blasters and lightsabers together as regular equipment?
The Last Helghast Commando the paladins were awesome. Using whatever weapons they were comfortable with. One reason I liked legends
and Jedi Battlemasters
Ooh! Is that the Order of Force Sensitives that were so skilled with blasters that they could actually deflect blaster bolts WITH blaster bolts? That order sounded like it was much more practical and sensible than the Jedi are.
immortalfrieza something like that if recall they could. I honestly liked the fact not all Jedi used exclusively lightsabers. Battle masters we’re just as good with swords and the independent Jedi sects are amazing as well. If I was a Jedi I’d use both a blaster and a lightsaber.
Jaden Kore was also another jedi that used blasters as secondary weapons
Me: Sees Jedi deflecting blaster rounds.
Also Me: pulls out slugthrower. "Lets see you parry this."
Just create a force bubble that stops the projectile before hitting the sword
How do you say:
"Parry this you filthy casual" in Mando'a?
Talking about how much training is necessary to become skilled with a lightsaber: shows footage of someone who never received actual training and somehow is unstoppable in combat.
Thomas Cranor seriously new movies are packed with soo much bullshit
Luke was an instant expert in everything he ever did throughout the Original Trilogy and I didn't see anybody complaining about that.
@@immortalfrieza Not quite, he had natural talent due to being Anakin's kid. He also knew how to swing something with SOME degree of competence.
@@mrbuttocks6772 "Natural Talent due to being Anakin's kid."
That's no more valid an excuse for Luke's ability than for Rey's ability, and even if it was we didn't know what difference that made until Empire Strikes Back was over and STILL nobody had any issue with Luke being great at everything before then and still don't. Luke has 5 minutes with a lightsaber and no actual pilot's training and he's using the Force to blow up the Death Star. He then has a couple days worth of training at the most and he's matching Darth Vader blow for blow for most of their fight. At least Rey has the excuse of being a scavenger fighting for her life every day, Luke was just some farmboy with a relatively cozy life before A New Hope happened and he's shooting down scores of the Empire's best like he spent his childhood as an elite commando.
Again, Luke did the exact same instant expert crap but nobody gave the crap then, it shouldn't be an issue now that Rey is doing it either. Hell, EVERY protagonist in all of fiction is an instant expert just like Rey and nobody gives a crap either.
@@immortalfrieza That's what was shown ON-screen, what about whats off-screen? It was in legends(true canon) though I don't know which book. That Luke was on Dagobah for maybe 2-3 months before the cloud city incident. I don't know about the pilot training though. Luke has ACTUAL character development, unlike Rey. He had his hand cut off by his OWN father, then later after he does the same, Luke then resists the pull of the dark side. This is because Luke sees himself in Vader, and he does not want to BECOME like Vader. Luke had the motivation to fight against the Empire because(spoilers for a close to 20 year old movie), the killed the people who raised him. Rey however, has no motivation other than 'go with the flow', to fight the first order.
You mentioned that the sabers have no weight but it seems now they do in canon, in an exchange between Kannan and Sabine she mentiones "It's heavier than i thought" and later kannan remarks that the blades are attracted to each other (like magnets or currents).
This gave me an idea. Maybe the Jedi and Sith should have worked together as separate branches of one whole organization. The Jedi acting as the keepers of peace, balance, and order while the Sith acted as the more aggressive militant branch that's sent to destroy hostiles where the peace keepers that are the Jedi could not.
The Jedi could use lightsabers as a symbol of their role as peace keepers while the Sith could have used blasters that were specially designed to use kyber crystals, like "Farkiller" or whatever it's called that was built by that one guy. The Sith could even have their own martial arts specifically designed around using their unique blasters, which could have bayonets or something attached or could be used in tandem with something like a high tech riot shield.
"Why jedi didn't use blasters." Before even watching this video I can come up with a LOT of reasons. First, I will start with the practical reasons, and then I'll go into the moral of troops, and meaning of a lightsaber. First of all, a lightsaber can deflect blaster bolts, if you're running with a blaster unless you have some sort of shield, you can not deflect the bolts except with the force. And I imagine that it would take IMMENSE concentration to use the force to move the bolts out of your way, more so than deflecting the bolts with a lightsaber. Second of all, traditional armor and metals are designed to protect against blaster bolts, not a lightsaber. And that's not even mentioning the fact that a lightsaber can go much deeper through armor and flesh, and that brings me to my next point. Third of all, a lightsaber can melt through doors and tanks and stab through cover. Obviously, if you were to try this with a blaster, the cover would make the blaster useless and the blaster would have no effect on the tank, and unless the cover was thin enough, or the blaster was heavily powered, or both, it wouldn't be able to pierce through. Now, I would make these separate points, but they all relate to each other so it will be a really long point. Finally the lightsaber it self, a lightsaber makes a jedi stand out. Imagine these two scenarios, scenario A, you see a jedi running through the battlefield with a blaster and only robes as armor and he has to find cover like every other trooper in order to not waste his concentration to use the force to move the blasts and not get hit by a blaster. Now scenario B, you see a jedi running through the battlefield with a lightsaber, he deflects every shot back at his enemies charging through the battlefield, easily cutting through the armor and tanks of the opposition. Which scenario's jedi is more intimidating? And a jedi's lightsaber makes them stand out amongst troops and it rallys there allys, boosting the morale greatly. A good example of the jedi boosting the morale of troops is in OG SWBFII in the campaign, on the battle of kashyykk the morale soared from thinking that it was a suicide mission, to a winnable battle when master yoda arrived, and as stated, a lightsaber in the hands of a jedi is far more powerful than a blaster, the morale wouldn't be as great if they weren't using a more powerful weapon, and if they weren't using a weapon that makes them stand out like a lightsaber. That is one of the powers of a lightsaber, it boosts morale to the people who side with the jedi and it strikes fear into the hearts of the enemies of the jedi. A lightsaber is not a tool like a blaster, it is the call sign and symbol of a Jedi knight, a symbol of hope, peace, justice, freedom, protection, and a symbol of good. A jedi's blade is awe inspiring and it designates the jedi as peacekeepers of the galaxy. A lightsaber is a symbol, a blaster is not. A lightsaber is in a way, a symbol of the jedi philosophy, to not engage fights from a distance, but to defend yourself if necessary. A lightsaber is designed not to kill, but to protect. And THAT is why a jedi does not use a blaster, they wield a lightsaber not just for practical purposes, but because a lightsaber is more than a tool like a blaster, but it is a symbol of the jedi and their philosophy.
Bonus point: Imagine how weird the lightsaber battles would be if they were gunfights.
Edit: Wow, everyone is making comments about blasters being SO UNCIVILIZED, and I am being stoic as hell and doing a looooong explanation about it
Couldn't you shoot bolts with bolts
The most obvious reason, blasters can't shoot straight. You could be 10' in front of somebody and the blaster bolt would hit the ground or a hook right or left and not hit them.
Christopher T Weapon inaccuracy is typically due to the user not the weapon
All good points, but they could greatly raise their combat effectiveness if they also carried a blaster pistol...and a few force guided grenades.

Jedi council logic
Only a sith deals in absolutes
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People.
Nor have We been wanting in attention to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Always loved the lightsaber such an amazing weapon and symbol of the order.

Why jedi didnt use blasters
Ezra: Am I a joke to you
I know this is a joke, but ezra wasn't a proper jedi. He was trained by a padawan during the era of the empire.
if you were wearing a sword during feudal times, in most society . it meant you were someone of status with the right to kill people as you sore fit with in the laws or sometimes above the law. its the same for the jedi. when you look at it from a certain point of view..
If you were wearing a sword in feudal times that only meant you can afford one. Nothing more. Period.
@@tutzdesYT Are you sure? Question Mark?
I think it had more of a social statement than just a financial statement! EXCLAMATION POINT!
That just my opinion, (comma) though. Period.
No, it just meant that you probably lived outside of one of the cities. Gambesons and swords were fairly common, being used to defend yourself against whatever may be between your house and the closest market.
@@danese1636, swords could be carried by almost anyone. It was a good self-defence tool, if you were able to use it properly. Thing is, people who could actually use the sword to great effect were either (ex-)military, guards/militia, and aristocrats (who traditionally received some martial training by default). Do you really think that all these armed guards or mercs were of noble blood? Majority of ordinary folks used axes, maces and clubs just because swords were more expensive and you won't be spending a big sum of money for something that isn't your tool of trade.
From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!
I like that in Legends, Luke's Order carried what ever they liked
And Kyle Katarn was a master with every weapon!
I wish more Jedi carried weird sabers in the movies.
Like with all the alien species they only have regular sabers and double bladed sabers. I know there's like a Pike lightsaber in the games but I feel like there should be cultural variants. Like what if some blue dude just pulled out a lightsaber Katar, or like a bow that fired mini sabers the jedi could retrieve with the force. Stuff like that.
I think one character in the legends continuity put it that they were sort of giving the other side a chance, whereas with blasters, they could just destroy everybody.
I like how much thought and effort you put into the reasons a fictional order of space wizards do stuff. I do the same thing. I have a theory that the reason for the WW2 naval style of space battle is because between tractor beams and jamming missiles are ineffective and you need line of sight turbo lasers.
When obi wan tried out a blaster for the first time, he killed the enemy general he’s been trying to defeat for the past 3 years easily.
After exposing it's weak point first, which he used his lightsaber to do.
Jedi don't use blasters
Kanan : hi , I'd
Ezra : like to
Rey : prove you
Luke : wrong
@Stirgid Lanathiel Plus Ezra's "blaster" was a stunner, it didn't kill anything.
@Stirgid Lanathiel Well, I guess so 🤔
But I don't think it's imposible to lower the "Power" of it. A Jedi makes his own Lightsaber, and the Kyber Crystal itself can't do anything, is in how the Saber is made that gave it the "Burning" power. I belive it can be modfie to be less harmfull.
And about the "Can't have a hero of a kid show killing people", we may not see them killing directly, but the main "heros" are always Killing with explosions. I guess explosion just make it look less Explicit, but they had kill, like a lot xd

Because this video's ex-girlfriend has threatened it via Facebook, and videos do not have access to restraining orders (which have the protective quality of an angry glare).
In my last Star Wars d6 game, I played a Mandalorian-force adept who’s favored weapon was a saberpike/electrostaff with a blaster in the pommel.
The majority of the heft was made of baskar. So even unpowered it was an effective weapon against a sith or jedi.
When stowed, the weapon would collapse shorter and fold in half, making not much longer that a double saber.
When used as a staff, it was a rather effective blunt weapon. When used as an electrostaff, again it was effective as a blunt weapon with the added damage of the electric shock. When used as a saberpike the energy blade was projected as a semi flat blade with two dagger like side blades that were about 40* off to either side.
The lower half of the heft held a blaster that fired out the pommel that was the equivalent of a heavy blaster.
He also had many of the other tools mandos used, the gauntlet, jet pack, etc. he also trained in various forms of unarmed combat.
Pretty much, he was a weapon in many ways. And prided himself on efficiency capturing or dispatching his target, per the client’s preference.

"a blaster can only kill or wound" me switching off stun: oh sorry.
The Jedi, since the end of the Sith as a whole, have never been trained to fight a trained military. Mace took his strike unit into Geonosis the first time completely unprepared. The Jedi thought they were just that good. At least some kind of armor, homespun can't even stop dust. Maybe they should have taken blasters as well. In my own opinion, Mace should have at least thought that there was a chance they would be out numbered
These are very good points but I think they could use non lethal blasters or at least other non lethal weapons.
Yea they were quite effective at short ranges and almost unstoppable

Yeah I would use a non-lethal blaster if I was a jedi. It would be much easier to defeat villains and public gangsters.
Question... Is there an explanation as to why the lightsaber looks thinner in the original trilogy vs all the other movies???
Graphics and limitations of editing in the special effects
Yes i beleive i heard that in the original they supposedly used a rotating mirror which would reflect light as it spins, the camera would just see a bright line. There is the kenobi vs vader duel where you can see the light saber has a little cable/wire run from the light saber into the sleeve (this wasnt meant to be seen but it still is there) powering the little generator in the handle to make the mirror spin so the camera would see a "light saber blade".
I was hoping someone would have an explanation that the force was weak after the fall of the Jedi and thus the lightsabers were dimmer...
after the OG Trilogy, computers were able to paint a neon light over a steel rod, which were what was used most of the time afterwards.
On a side note, rotating mirrors seem a bit fragile to be wacking against each other.

I doubt the force could be used that way. You can just the force to stop blasters or create a deflecting barrier, but not to actually change a laser's direction.
@@DiogoJ1 Rule of thumb is that the Force can be used for anything when you're strong enough.
@@olafgurke4699 Problem being redirecting a blaster shot midflight is probably far more difficult than just deflect it by touch. One can do that with a rocket, most likely, but I doubt anyone is strong enough to do it with a blaster shot.
Concept of guns being avoided dates back to Paradice Lost by John Milton. In this epic poem, Milton describes a battle between Micheal (with his angels) and Satan (with the fallen angels). The host of heaven used swords and the host of hell used cannons. Using cannons was considered as a symbol of cowardice, of recklessness, and of a lack of concern for life. To use a sword ment you had to look your apponet in the eyes and watch the life force leave him or her while your blade was embedded in your apponet's body. This concept dates back to Homeric battle etiquette.
I want to see a story about a jedi, one who had a rough childhood and mastered blasters at a young age before becoming a jedi, during a difficult time in the galaxy (for example the great purge, clone wars, galactic civil war, etc) and see him/her carry 2 blaster pistols. Maybe even be a jedi sentinel, who practices with blasters and maybe other scoundrel types of things, I want to see this jedi criticized by jedi peers for being too unorthodox and dark, then eventually fall to the dark side and maybe do some criminal sort of stuff? Like maybe bounty hunting? Just a rough idea but i think that'd be neat

“A Jedi will then have many options to subdue their opponent without killing them.”
*Shows Windu decapitating Jango*
I saw it as practical.
1) Light saber can deflect blasters and slug throwers.
2) No stray shots.
3) Courage. One must approach and stand at arms length do do harm.
4) Possible redemption. Being so close allows for conversation and asking why the violence ?
5) Less practice. Blasters require training . Perhaps the Jedi can see ahead as to when the aim is right. Earth "slug throwers" move when the trigger is pulled. One must train at keeping the aim through till recoil hits.
