- My god this looks like shitDark Empire episode 1 is almost ready for the channel's 8 year anniversary. Releasing soon on YouTube These are a few clips recording the screen from a phone and the scenes are not in order. theorysabers.com
00:00 - Replying to @LuthenRailedOne that I never see talked about, but is possibly the strongest material in Star Wars, is Zillo Beast hide, being shown to be 100% lightsaber resistant.
- Replying to @LuthenRailedAnother one that recently got shown on screen for the first time but has been around for a long time, Cortosis
- Replying to @LuthenRailedNext up is weapons imbued by the force/nightsister magicks
- Replying to @LuthenRailedA specific weapon that’s been shown to be lightsaber resistant is the Electrostaff
- We’re 3 episodes into an 8 episode show that’s been advertised as a mystery story and people are complaining that they don’t know all the plot information yet.
- Replying to @LuthenRailedLast one for now is the electro-riot baton used by the first order trooper that fought Finn in TFA.
- Replying to @LuthenRailedNext up is all the weapons and (to a lesser extent of resistance) armour used by the Praetorian Guards, as seen in TLJ and Mando s3
- Replying to @LuthenRailedAnother lightsaber resistant material that I hadn’t realised was canon is Phrik. It’s used in the electrostaffs, Palpatine’s lightsaber hilts, and it wouldn’t shock me if it was used in the Praetorian Guard weapons and electro-riot baton:
- Replying to @Sheep0_This was always the impression I got, especially based on how the Praetorian Guards chain whip seemed to magnetically attach itself to Rey’s lightsaber
- Replying to @peacemakervitusAlso undid mando having the darksaber and the Beskar spear
- Actually funnily enough, every episode of Andor can beat this episode
- Replying to @1FlyKunoichiMakes sense, Luke’s lightsaber bounces of Vader at one point in ESB
