Hi, so quick question that me and some friends had. Is the face lightsabers are weak to anything acting as an energy conduit new to the new canon or has it been that way before? I know before the Electrostaves were because of Phrik. So what the answer? Knightmare · [Talk] 08:15, January 26, 2016 (UTC)
- Apparently some Legends sources described cortosis as shorting out lightsabers due to their conductivity and not just deflecting them. This was new to me, though, since I'm mostly just used to cortosis in its KOTOR incarnation where it just seemed like an excuse to have swordfights against non-Jedi. But apparently in at least some sources they have effects on lightsabers beyond just deflecting them like phrik or whatever, so that's something to look into. --Lost tiree, lost dutch :O (talk) 02:37, January 28, 2016 (UTC)
