Well… Your logic seems on point but keep in mind this is a civilisation that does hyperspace travel and stuff
We have walked on other celestial bodies, but we still burn toxic goop that destroys our atmosphere in order to buy chicken nuggets. Logic need not apply.
I accept your premise that parameters of technological advancement need not influence each other, but assuming that they correlate similarly as on Earth, prosthetics and interstellar travel might have moved forward by the same coefficient.
In that case, walking on the Moon is like using a rock for a prosthetic eye.
“The future has already arrived. It’s just not evenly distributed yet.”
Faults may be found in the reasoning, but even with that, this may just be the truth.
Actually if I remember correctly, younglings use weaker sabers that can’t cut through as much as normal sabers do. Most early training is done with specifically training sabers like those.
Correct, younglings use training sabers that don’t cut.
Padawans, knights, and masters spar with their whole ass sabers.
Star Wars is not good. The first three films were outstanding and were honestly something very special. Everything else is terrible
What made you think I give a single shit about your opinion?
Funny thing is that limb slicing is actually the primary goal of several lightsaber techniques, since the opponent will usually be trying to guard their vital organs and will leave the limbs relatively more exposed.
So pretty much what you would do with regular swords. Arms and to some extent legs are closer to you than the rest of the body so they are often the easiest targets.
There’s very little Jedi in the Star Wars Universe so it’s reasonable to consider the advancement of prosthetics in this universe indipendent from lightsabers.
Maybe it’s a chicken and egg thing. They could’ve started using live lightsabers because the prosthetics are so good.
