I know the reason is for "cooler action scenes"

But I want to know what canonical nonsense they came up with on how plasma can go through anything but other plasma.

Don't they melt things? If they're both similar temperatures, then they wouldn't melt through each other...

its something where the force keeps the blade in a blade shape so when the two sabers touch the force repels each blade, similar to magnets.

The force shapes the plasma into a blade and stuff. Or so I heard.

Get two objects at room temperature

Touch them together and see if they start melting

There's somethings that can't be cut by a lightsaber

Starwars is Science fantasy/ fiction they don't need to explain such a little thing.

Here's your answer

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Force fields are what shapes and contains the plasma. The force fields collide.

You answered your own question in the OP. Star Wars is just a complete mess of illogic used for the sake of the plot.

I'm not trying to say they are all terrible movies but the plot holes and inconsistencies are hard not to notice.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

Because they're made of plasma, not light.

  • 12.23.2012 2:20 PM PDT

Because they're not real.
