Another lightsaber resistant material is plot armour
true
TR-8R and the lightsaber resistent wood
The biggest plot armor is fanfiction
No longer officially canon.
Qui-Gon is Snoke. CONFIRMED!!!11!!!!1
You can add Finn's spine and Kylo Ren's face to that list.

Underrated Comment.
Pewdiepie phrik chamber
only geniuses name an object “phrik”
I really think thats exactly why its called that
“...and the armor of the Dark Troopers.” “We don’t know for sure that it’s still a Lightsaber resistant metal, but I think that’s a safe bet.”
Luke Skywalker 3 years later: “Haha Lightsaber go slice!”
To be fair, the Dark Troopers in the Mandalorian were different from the Dark Troopers in Legends.
also i think Luke was using the force to enhance his saber's blade to cut through
Just imagine if Palpatine did get lightsaber resistant armour for the clone troopers, that would be chaotic in Order 66
yeah I don't think Yoda would have survived
He didn’t care enough about us to get us resistant armor... Sorry about nearly wiping out the Jedi....
It was so uncivilized to use.
jackie sui Yoda would’ve just force pushed em both off the platform
@@starleigh6680 he most certainly would've survived anyway
I haven’t seen one person say that mandalorian iron is called basskar
Well it is
Breyden Larose it was originally a term coined in Legends and the term was used in Disney Canon, Rebels and even The Mandalorian
Adrian Vega thank you I will not make this mistake again
Mandalorian iron is called beskar
Beskar
"What's your armour made of?"
Oh, Phrik
**gets stabbed**
Oh

a lightsaber can't cut a lightsaber blade does that count
I guess so
LIghtsaber cant cut through certain types of energy it seems.
Not really a material, tho. More like a beam.
actually Sith lightsaber, e.g. synthetic crystals, would occasionally cut through other lightsaber blades.
It actually can but very rare! But only synthetic crystals can

Armor weave is about as resistant to lightsabers as butter is to a hot knife.
*Just ask Jango Fett*
jango fett didn't have the armorweave underarmor
Jango needed an armor weave turtleneck.
He was decapitated at the neck, where there was no armor. Same with his wrist
Even if janjo got hit in the any other part where there was actual armor plating he would die, because his armor made durasteel not madolorian iron/besskar last I heard
Well that didn't age well
In the recent series of boba fett, fennec says the armor is mostly like destroyed by the sarlacc pit, but he replies with "not beskar" so jango did have beskar, just it wasn't pure beskar like Din's, which explains the dent in the helmet but even if it was any other mandalorian or heck din against mace, they would have most likely got decapitated because the gaps in they're armor was the weak spots... unless they do use armor weave but again we don't know if it actually works
"And the lava dragon"
Yeah, I can see the evolutionary logic behind that one...
Evolution itself has no logic
@@darthmushyhead6901 kinda
Evolution is a natural way of adaptation and advancement. If a creature lived in a hot area it'll become heat resistant and lava is a very hot thing, just like lightsabers
Darth Mushyhead no it’s very logical
@@peabrain6872 Not really, logic only follows a yes or a no on a set place. Overall, if you are to look at it globally, over 6-7 million years. There is no logic in it.

1:50 shows why Star Wars writers should avoid absolutes like "This is the only/best/biggest thing in the galaxy", because you're just setting yourself up to get contradicted later.
and then we get to the point where's everyone's Goku and they also have pocket death stars/sun crushers/star forges

well i suppose its the only thing freedon nadd knew about, doesnt really do anything but make freedon nadd seem less wise
Because only a Sith deals in absolutes.

When you managed to call Vader's attention in some battle:
- Phrick!
If you’re talking about battlefront than the material they can’t cut through is literally everything
You forgot about Kyle Katarn's beard.
Chris Fleig no. you forgot Kyle katarn.
All lightsaber proof materials have been traced back to places that Kyle Katarn once visited.
Chris Fleig I feel like I should know more about this guy. Explain?
He's a legends character who did so many improbable things and had such a stubborn personality that people began to make Chuck Norris jokes, except with Kyle Katarn instead of Chuck Norris.
+ThePCguy17 Kinda comes with the territory of being the main character in a game series.
Kyle Katarn had balls of Mandalorian iron.
0:27 - Phrik was a rare, metallic compound that was used in light, yet durable, battle armor or melee weapons.
It was named for Jedi's reactions when encountering an opponent that used it.
Humans are literally impossible to cut through now. Apparently it’s in lore.

i keep forgetting that vibroblades aren't canon... sad times
KotoR was best Star Wars game
They were said to have a cortosis weave, and I think some of them had a small shield that isn't visible along the blade's length.
But I have heard that cortosis weave wasn't actually possible to be made until around the time of the films.
So basically it was an intentional flub/handwave for the sake of game balance in KotOR's case. But I'm not a true expert on lore at all.
@@chillinchum There were cortosis blades and vibroblades. Regular cortosis blades were different. They were just blades made of cortosis while vibroblades were also made with cortotis, but vibrated to fast that they could cut just like a lightsaber.
They are canon, the BX commando droids use them.
They are also in several if the RPGs.
Commando Droids and Republic Commandos had them in Republic Commando, Star Wars The Clone Wars, and Battlefront 2. Just because they were in KOTOR, doesn’t mean it’s not canon though. I wish KOTOR was canon
In Star Wars Episode V, where Vader and Luke were fighting, Luke struck Vader's shoulder. Vader cried out in pain, but it's worth noting that Luke's lightsaber still -bounced off- of Vader's shoulder.
I believe it struck his shoulder pauldron, but I'm not 100% sure.
What material would that have been?
Ovni Maybe Cortosis? I'm not sure.
Ovni, Well, Probably durasteel mixed in with Sith alchemy.
Really late but it was armorweave
Don’t want that arm falling off again
@@dragensen2348 The effects of cortosis are different depending on the sources, with them not shorting out lightsabers or not.
Absolutely anything in Fallen order.
You can cut through the beast
And security droids
Not true. Just humans. Humanoids and animals are fair game.

Actually, he said something like "Urk," as a lightsaber punctured his chest.
How about energy fields, like theese red shields on Naboo in ep.1, where Maul and Obi-Wan fought.
Theese seem to be lightsaber reaistant as well
Honest Happy Hater yes, but I suppose they're not really a material
Honest Happy Hater We do not talk about "that" movie
Why don't everyone just have a portable droideka shield
A danish breakfast
Because money
Expensive, plus they burn out after a limited number of uses, (good for special ops strike teams though.)
(though in Kotor they become slightly more than chump change after you have looted a few sith champions and mandolorians of their super expensive armor. )
So many idiots here asking where Beskar is, it's on the list but it's labeled as "Mandalorian Iron" since the name Beskar didn't exist 3 years ago.
KOTOR referred to it as Mandalorian steel, and they used a cortosis weave on their swords.

A lot of the names for things and people in the SW universe are dumb. Take the name for space jazz in the cantina for example... Jizz.
Are there force-resistance materials ?
No. There are Force-resistant species like the Ysalamiri and the Yuuzhan Vong but no materials either in the Disney universe or the EU are resistant to the Force
What about the droid that Tiin and Windu fought in the dark horse comics "Clone Wars Adventures"? It was a super super battle droid (Yes, the double super was intentional) and they tried to force push it but it wouldn't move.
That B3 had a built-density projector that kept it from falling over, hence why they couldn't force push it. Otherwise the droid was probably made of garden-variety durasteel.
Carbonite Hunter the ysalamiri blocked the force...
Well depending on your strength in the force you could resist people who were weaker unless there were multiple, and this is my personal theory for Canon, if you focus hard enough and channel your power you can block force attacks, like force push
Watching this in 2020 be like “Mandalorian armor” it’s called Besksar!
Iron*
Finally yes
Beskar*
It’s been called beskar since before the popular Disney show.
Yep
Fun fact about cortosis armour, it’s very conductive so while it can absorb blaster and lightsaber strikes using something like an electro staff would take out the user, Thrawn used an Electro blaster during the clone wars to take out someone in cortosis armour
"Mandalorian armor could resist lightsabers"
Reven: sure they could
So that's why Mando's armor held up against Ashoka's lightsabers, thanks!
Dark troopers aren't lightsaber resistant anymore in canon. Last season of Mando season 2 proved that.

(ALERT)
[STOLEN COMMENT]
Cortosis is actually also in Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast featuring Kyle Kataran. The Shadowtroopers used the metal in their lightsabers.
Imagine making a Cortosis, Phrik and Beskar polymer, it would be legendary!
An alloy rather. Probably wouldn’t be very good in reality and probably super weak but it’s a cool concept.
What if you were to drop a lightsaber with the blade straight down like in robot chicken
they would turn off
Nathan Nguyen unless they have been modified to stay on after you let go, like if you toss it
no they use the force to keep it on all lightsabers have deadman switches
Nathan Nguyen it would turn off, this was seen in many of Star Wars films.
K then use the force to shove it through the ground intentionally.
The stun baton at the end is probably the most realistic. Lightsabers only penetrate metal due to the heat they generate. They essentially melt through anything they contact. Therefore, the more resistant a metal is to a lightsaber, the harder it will be to melt down the metal and forge it in the first place. Anything that is "lightsaber proof" would actually be heat proof, which means it couldn't be melted down to be forged to begin with. Given that a lightsaber blade is made up of plasma, then something that has an electrical current could potentially disrupt a lightsaber, since plasma is just ionized gas. Although if it's not a strong enough current, then that baton becomes weaker than even lightsaber resistant metals. Looking back on it now, I guess it's all really possible, as long as someone has a hot enough forging method for the stronger metals.
Zaxio 005 Do you even understand physics or science? You do know what light is, correct? I'm guessing not, or you have never studied the light spectrum at all, since you would know how ridiculous it would be to make a "saber" out of light. Hell, a flashlight is a lightsaber in that case. No, lightsabers are called that because George Lucas didn't understand science either (parsecs anyone?) but their actual properties and how they act and react to things are actually the properties of plasma. If good ol' George had understood the difference between light and plasma, he would have called them plasma-sabers instead, but we're stuck with lightsabers.
Zaxio, first of all: They've already confirmed what lightsaber blades are made of. Second of all: No, even if they were laser swords, the name Lightsaber would be extremely inaccurate because a Saber has a CURVED blade.
YiFan Tey I do question your physics knowledge, since I am certain it would be near impossible to slow light down enough to form atoms, let alone have them form molecules also. Light acts as both a particle and a wave, it has some special properties, including a constant speed unless said particle is moving through a special medium, and even then it will only slow the tiniest fraction as it passes through the medium, once out it returns instantly to it's constant speed.. I would like to see the studies you are referencing, if you could link those please.
Considering there's valid ground for the theory that all matter is made of light, I think it's entirely possible that lightsaber blades are actually made of light. Just... so indirectly they may as well not be. And by the logic where you can claim that, lightsaber hilts, and lightsaber users are made of light too.
+blivvy Actually, all matter is made of energy, not light. That is exactly what Einstein taught us with his famous equation: E=MC^2. What that equation means is that Energy is equivilant to Mass going at the speed of light squared. So if you take a ball and somehow accelerate it to the speed of light squared (impossible as far as we know) then that ball will transform into pure energy. Also, if you can somehow slow energy down to the square root of the speed of light, that would become mass.
This channel deserves more love.

Bro that’s durge
sith discover a new material resistant to lightsabers
jedi: oh phrik.
Was ready to correct you on cortosis but your explanation was spot on, can be cut but causes short-circuing. Kotor totally contradicts cortosis properties.
When I was a kid I created my own jedi with an orange broadsword style lightsaber who wore lightsaber proof armguards.
too many Z-6 things in star wars... a rotary blaster cannon, a riot control baton, and a jetpack.
the Z-6 riot control baton was the one used by FN-2199, the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon was used by clones, and the Z-6 jetpack was used by jango/boba.
Z-6 Headhunter Starfighter...
MrJinglejanglejingle oh, that too!
who names these things? it's like how so many planets end with "tooine"
super jedi player The Z-6 riot control baton was used AGAINST FN-2199, he never used it.
what about his fight with FN-2187? on Takodana? what was his weapon? pretty sure it was a Z-6.

Nah, that was chromium.

ultrachrome plated sapphires
It’s made with the material from the ship anikin and pandmae used in ep 2
Nice Video :)
Glad you covered orbalisks, though I think the lightning has to be of great input to penetrate. In Darth Bane novel Umbaran shadow assassins used electricity on Bane via their pikes and it did nothing
Some things that came into canon that I'd like to mention: energy-based weapons. The monomolecular energy chords used on the weapons of the Elite Praetorian Guard and the energy ribbon from Enfys Nest's electroripper staff. Also the kyuzo petar used by Dryden Vos.
Huh, I don't think these things are made in China...
Were they made in McDonald's? Those toys are unbreakable.
Saying that, the disk for that movie was broken.
Maybe because I cut with scissors when it said not to use a knife.

Pretty sure Krayt Dragons have atleast enough resistance to slow/minimize damage from a lightsaber?
I remember that episode of the Clone Wars where Palpatine tried getting lightsaber resistant armour for the Clone Wars. It was part of his plan for Order 66.
1:42 now we know that Manolorian Iron is called Beskar.
do a video on what happened to wedge after return of the jedi :)
If you read the full x-wing saga books, and a few books farther into the expanded universe, a lot happens to him!
Can you do a video on the selkath?
Satele Shan, they can't cut through Satele Shan
Fun fact about Yuzhan Vong armor lightning resistance. In a James Luceno novel lightning from Jacen would arch around Vongs but in following novels it was rerconned, so lightning worked against them.
you forget about vibro-weapons
yeah, but since he mentioned Z-6 riot control baton , he could mention the vibro-weapons.
It had nothing to do with the generators and everything to do with the cortosis weave. Either Carth or Tutorial McRedshirt mentioned that all the blades used in the war had cortosis in them.
I know I'm a little late, but vibro-weapons aren't lightsaber resistant. Every once in a while, you would find one with a cortosis weave (rather than pure cortosis) which would allow a user to block a lightsaber.
Well let's start with the most blatantly obvious one, human flesh according to disney star wars
Nothing is resistant against the high ground.
Would love to see more songsteel in the future
Can you do a video on Fenn Rau??????
501st Studio Legion YES!!!!!!
501st Studio Legion you welcome?
there isn't much uncovered yet. Hopefully there'll be soon.
True
Lightsaber can't even cut through _Gonk Droids._
It’s cool to see someone dedicated to a Star Wars presentation and not for a school project
Laminanium, which was what covered YVH droids in Legends, was lightsaber resistant. Also, although this is a different concept, Ssi Ssi Ruuvi paddle beamer projectiles could not be deflected by lightsabers only " bent" out of trajectory with great effort.
What about Kylekatarnium?
Very informative it would be interesting to see a few other elements of this list be added to canon. That way we could definitely see what interesting ways the writers etc could play around with material etc
Question: what were the vibroblades made from, from the game Knights of the Old Republic? As I recall, you could go toe-to-toe with an enemy wielding a lightsaber. I guess it had something to do with the frequency at which they vibrate? Any corrections to my long term memory or answers are appreciated, thanks!

@Star Wars Explained if you take Force weapons into account and on that very same basis apply it to armour would it be possible to create Force Armour?
I know you mentioned Force-imbued weapons with Sith Alchemy, but I'm surprised you didn't specifically mention Nightsister Ichor-enchanted weapons like Savage's glaive or Talzin's sword since those are both canonical and we see them on screen.

You forgot to mention Beskar Steel (dunno if u referred to it as Mandalorian iron), but still great video.
You frogot my iron hard abs
um.... Iron would be one of the metals susceptible to being cut but the light saber according to Canon... perhaps you should go with one of the metals discussed? Just saying if you abs are hard enough not to be cut perhaps a better comparison?

@@WiiWarrior933 No the guy was shutting down OP's joke because it was stupid.
Can't cut through fin according to Disney.
there are several instances in the originals where lightsaber blades bounce off railings and stuff... I always thought that was weird.
but also, I don’t really like how in the prequel-era content the lightsabers can basically cut through anything (aside from these special materials) like soft butter... but I liked when Qui-Gon tried to cut through the big door in _TPM..._ he was able to do it, but it took lots of effort and went very slowly. that seems to me like how they should work...
There is a lightsaber proof material that Palp's lightsaber hilt was made of. Electrum I think its called and its lightsaber proof meaning no matter what a lightsaber can't cut through it no matter how much pressure, how hard you strike it, anything of that caliber it won't have even a scratch on it if I know correctly.
