The six most popular theories are presented at the following page. I'd have to go with number six too. They're far down on the page, but I suggest you bookmark it 'cuz there are many cool things on this homepage, like saber fighting techniques and an inventory of all sabers. Thanks Frank!

For the light saber, i think it is simmilar in principal to the holodeck, photons held by forcefeilds.

My theroy would require the creation of a stable Electromagentic feild, around a shaft of photonic energy. but this would require a huge powersource, and i dont think it is going to fint in a the handle.

Yes, the battery lifetime and energy-level suggests immense power.

Oh, and thanks, Gepta! The knowledge that a fellow believer has found new enlightenment makes it all worth it, eh Frank?

I thought a laser was supposed to cut through nearly anything? As to the other theories, I think they could work but power is the major catch. How do you store that much energy in such a small space?

I don't think the thread was dead until you said it was. It had only been 3 days since the previous reply.
I wanted to find out who this omniscient "Frank" was.

Try not.
Do.
Or Do not.
There is no try.
