Podcast Notes

  • Part B 
    • Weapons of Star Wars (continued) 
      • Light Sabers 
        • Elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Lots of mystical lore surrounding this weapon.
        • Force aligned crystals are necessary for their construction.
        • How would the blade be created? Plasma? Use EM fields to constrain it.
      • Blasters 
        • They are not laser weapons! This is why the projectiles do not travel at the speed of light. 
          • Gas cartridge and a power cell.
          • 400-500 shots per charge.
          • Gas can be mostly anything but typically is Tibanna – a naturally gas found on Bespin home of cloud city. The gas is created by Beldons huge gas filled creatures. Tibanna is also used as hyperdrive coolant.
