    Inaccurate.

    Physics dictates it would deflect the phaser beam to the nearest redshirt.

    1- why would a starfleet crew shoot jedi?

    2: why would the jedi not simply do hat jedi have been seen to do in nearly every movie and not block the shots?

    C, why would they have had a conflict in the first place? Neither groups are hostile.

    I love trek and star wars and this would never happen.

    That said, the presence of a red light saber and blue together indicate it was a sith, since a jedi wouldn’t willingly use a corrupted crystal in their saber. Maybe it was Grievous.

    Imagine being a laser beam but after traveling for 1.5m you’ve simply had enough. Oddly relatable.

          It has fewer calories than a saber

        Um ackshully it depends on the crystal and power source, Mace Windu’s purple lightsaber is explained as being an electric arc IIRC. (IRL Samuel L Jackson just wanted to be able to see himself in the wide shots apparently.)

          That must be a Legends thing because I can’t find anything like that in the Canon page on Wookieepedia.

      I mean, it’s plasma, not a laser.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
