My theory is it can be melted only it exposed to high temperature for a long period of time, which would explain how it is able to withstand Lightsaber strikes, but simultaneously be processed.
Here’s a fun fact about Mando’a, the Mandalorian language, for those unaware. “Beskar” means metal, or steel, but is usually used specifically in reference to the famous Beskar Steel mentioned here. “Beskar’gam” means “Armour”, and is famously included in the Resol’nare (Essentially the Mandalorian 10 commandments), but it literally translates to “Metal Clothes.” Another similar situation with Mando’a is the common greeting “Su cuy’gar”, which literally means “You’re still alive.” Oya! :D
You're close with the Beskar'gam, but the better translation is "metal skin", which in my opinion tells you all you need to know about how important armor is to all Mandalorian sects, being equated to a person's skin, you'll recognize a Mandalorian by their armor before anything else, just like you'd recognize most other peoples by their skin
It is said that Phrik is the most durable material in the universe. It is virtually indestructible and significantly lighter than Mandalorian iron. He is simply rating Beskar higher out of bias.
I think it depends on the continuity, in Legends it is definitely more durable than Beskar, a Phrik Box survived the destruction of Alderan after all. But in Canon Grevious sliced through a Phrik Magnaguard Staff, granted Grevious is a lot stronger than most if not all Jedi but still, meanwhile Pure Beskar can withstand blows from a Rancor without a scratch.
Cortosis is also completely immune against any type of force. So in an full suit of cortosis, u are resistend against palpatines lightnings for example. I just think cortosis cant withstand force for a long time
Being a history nerd kind of helps here I would do a kind of brigandine armor with phrik and beskar plates with an armorwheave covering and perhaps a norris root dyed set of clothes to act as my chainmail equivalent now I'm sure in universe you would have to me the richest mf in the galaxy but I like the idea of brigandine armor because the small plates are replaceable and the armorwheave i'm assuming could be dyed so you could make it stylish and have even more protection and most brigandine would have had chainmail accompanying so the Boris root clothes would somewhat make up for that
The Felician skulls were coated in the force. These guys also created force shields and would use the force to throw dirt clumps with the same speed as a blaster bolt. That's why they were able to stand up to a lightsaber.
@@amog8202 I made my own lightsaber and bought a Nokia which costs 3,000,000 doll hairs. I tried to cut the Nokia but it not only resisted the blow but it CUT THE BLADE IN HALF. So I agree. Edit: I said doll hairs on purpose for the laughs
Imagine making some kind of chain mail like armor out of quantum armor as well as your lightsaber hilt. On top of that make some light paper thin external armor for even more invincibility. Congrats, you can now rank Death Star shots with ease, you don’t even need to do anything. Just standing there will deflect anything that exists
There are a few lightsabers that can cut through everything on this list it just depends on which kyber crystal do you have such as eksar kaun his lightsaber could cut straight through polt and Mandalorian armour
10:12 If I remember correctly, cortosis bullets are so powerful that they can actually destroy the gun they're fired from, which may be another reason why cad bane stopped using them
I'm reading Thrawn Alliances now and Thrawn speaks of Chiss armor being designed to absorb and disperse as much energy as possible. Would that armor be effective at all against lightsabers?
I just did some very extensive research on this yesterday, reading through tons of articles. I have to say from almost every source that I have seen has said Phrik is the ultimate material. I can’t understand why you said Orbalisks, Vonduun Crabs, and Phrik were less effective than Mandalorian Iron. According to Legends Phrik is the all time most durable metal and was preferred due to it being significantly lighter, additionally Cortosis would be more powerful as well as it wasn’t only able to block sabers, but could short them out as well. Completely extinguishing a sabers blade. Returning to my point of the organic armors we’re both virtually indestructible aside from force lightning. Both would empower the user, particularly Orbalisk and the Sith, as the pain would feed the Darkside of the user and create a symbiotic synergy between the two. A similar relationship was described to have existed with Yuuzhan Vong. Unfortunately the Orbalisks were only utilized by Bane and Freedon, so the art was lost. It is also healthy to note that the armor would send them into uncontrolled fits of rage.
See but having a symbiotic relationship with an organic parasite like material has many drawbacks ti consider. Looking for the best of something isnt just looking at its stats
I could have sworn that Luke tried using his lightsaber on the Sun Crusher at one point during that book. iirc, it just scattered the blade everywhere or something.
What about Galen Marek? In The Force Unleashed his clothes, lightsaber, and body manage to be impervious to the death star lasers, and clearly it's not some kind of oversight because when he throws stormtroopers in they disintegrate
I think beskar is considered the best because it's very consistent and has very few weaknesses. It's main weakness that I have noticed is that it's shit against explosions and mudhorns.
It can cut through your enemies skin but not your own. Because somehow swinging a fire saber around , nobody manages to accidentally cut themselves because reasons
Phrik would be my first choice although I would probably use songsteel perhaps or mithra Mithra was more common in the old republic and it was used in echani shield suits or echani kinetic armor that protected against energy and electrical damage it was difficult for a lightsaber to cut it had good artistic qualities and the echani shield suits had thousands of energy ray shield emitters it also could protect against slugs and projectile weapons they also used it in the eternal empire die it with norris root and a person could have a light armor that is probably more versatile than most of the more commonly known metals . The only drawback was that it became very expensive and difficult to mine but what are your thoughts?
Cortosis, while being brittle, is better than beskar. It causes a malfunction in the lightsaber's mechanisms that makes it shutdown for a few minuttes.
Norris Root is obviously gonna be lightsaber immune, because it’s named after Chuck Norris, the only person that can slam a revolving door. Obviously, and should be rookie knowledge.
The very first time Luke handles his father's light saber he waves it around carelessly as if it was utterly harmless. I think he comes within inches of cutting his own head off.
Informative video(s), all good and nice. But I think you need to train on your speech, when you read your script you speak very loudly on points where it doesn't sound natural, it's a bit annoying when. Sorry, I had to point this out, it's driving me crazy because the volume changes so much.
Since Disney took over lightsabers actually don’t cut at all, you just wave them near someone and they randomly die. This happens in ROTJ, but that was more because it would’ve taken a lot of money and technology to do in the 80s. Still doing this in the 20s with the budget they have is outrageous
25000 degrees Celsius... if that's the case then people wouldn't be able to survive next to a lightsaber, it will probably kill a person from 100m. distance at that temperature.
There was a mention somewhere in the expanded universe about a planet of force-witches that used crystalline blades. I believe they were said to stand up to lightsabers.

If beskar can resist a lightsaber which is as hot as a star?
Then how hot are the mandalorian forges?
At least as hot as a black hole.
Hotter than a star
*It is mandalorian patented secret
So a plasma cutter should cut through it better than a lightsaber

Other lightsaber blades.
Lightsaber armor

Personally I feel like Phrik probably ranks above Beskar, it had a major reputation for being indestructible.
It is also a bit more common and easy to forge

You'll also die from getting sick with it.
Cortosis is also known to be very toxic and brittle against blunt damage though. So full body armor might not be the best idea.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 But a cortosis / Phrik alloy, possibly with something else added would likely be extremely good.

Another material to note; quantum crystalline armor, as seen on the sun crusher, could withstand multiple supernovae.
Shut up

I could have sworn that Luke tried using his lightsaber on the Sun Crusher at one point during that book. iirc, it just scattered the blade everywhere or something.
So, which if these materials is the vibroblade from KOTOR made out of?
Nah man, it's the silver Lego blocks that are the most resistant
Bane grew up on Apatros where he mined cortosis. He also had a curved handle blade, like the first failed chosen one (COUNT DOOKU). Please let me win
Most lightsaber resistant creature: Ogda Bogda
What about Galen Marek? In The Force Unleashed his clothes, lightsaber, and body manage to be impervious to the death star lasers, and clearly it's not some kind of oversight because when he throws stormtroopers in they disintegrate
That's a glitch. They updated it so if you're too close, you get instantly disintegrated. I hate the death star level so much.
Then what is the armor everyone wears in the games made of?
25K Deg C would vaporize the Jedi and everything in a 50’ radius!!!
I think beskar is considered the best because it's very consistent and has very few weaknesses. It's main weakness that I have noticed is that it's shit against explosions and mudhorns.
as is pretty much all armor xd
@@thisguy9540 true. Interesting to think the star wars universe has armour for everything except explosions.

It can cut through your enemies skin but not your own. Because somehow swinging a fire saber around , nobody manages to accidentally cut themselves because reasons
The Vong had such 'convenient' abilities didn't they? :P
In fairness they had to deal with ancient droid armies having energy resistant armor would be a basic requirement
The Vong where aware of what was happening in the Galaxy and could genetically control themselves so they just made good gear.
Phrik would be my first choice although I would probably use songsteel perhaps or mithra Mithra was more common in the old republic and it was used in echani shield suits or echani kinetic armor that protected against energy and electrical damage it was difficult for a lightsaber to cut it had good artistic qualities and the echani shield suits had thousands of energy ray shield emitters it also could protect against slugs and projectile weapons they also used it in the eternal empire die it with norris root and a person could have a light armor that is probably more versatile than most of the more commonly known metals .

I think beskar is stronger and better than cortosis because the mandalorians can use beskar in many forms... even a foam, clothe or coating.
What about vibroblades?
Mandalorian season 2: Lightsabers can’t cut through beskar
All the other mandalorians who died to lightsabers: Am I a joke to you?

That's a lot of materials writers had to create to even the playing field.
What a lightsaber can cut through should be divided into 2 categories, Lucas Star Wars and Disney Star Wars because the 2 are very different.
The best lightsaber would be one which could be concealed for stealth missions.
25000 degrees Celsius... if that's the case then people wouldn't be able to survive next to a lightsaber, it will probably kill a person from 100m. distance at that temperature.
