Why has this gone any further than a black lightsaber is a complete contradiction and totally unfeasible?

This below.
It's a color, does it really matter that much unless it's somehow uber powerful? It's just a color, let people have it if they want too, as there is a black crystal you can use in TFU and we already bend some canon, not like allowing black sabers will open a worm hole and the crew from Star Trek will arrive.

Thats my Oppinion anyways.

And this below makes a perfectly valid point:

ah it's just a colour, but it's physically impossible for black to emit light or heat. And if we say this is okay, then eventually people will be able to say "well you're bending the laws of physics there, so why not here" ot they might be able to apply our warped change to something that could make their char uber powerful, and then we wouldn't have a leg to stand on. That's my view tbh.

Which I countered with...

Have you seen a black saber? It's basically a white saber with a black core. Why would anyone want to get into the details of the law of physics and that mess in a Star Wars RP? Well, maybe a few here would...

By few, I meant not enough to start something, But It doesn't really effect me in the end. Chances are I won't be having a character who uses a lightsaber, since I practically never do. I just think that it's silly to deny someone a color regardless of the reasons. A color is a color.

But whatever, do what you guys want, not like I've ever came up with a good idea.

I just feel it's a bit...lame. And it defies physics, and SW doesn't deviate from the rules of our universe too much, so the rules of the RP should reflect that.

We've been waiting for that revelation for months you know.

Besides the phsyical impossiblity of a BLACK LIGHTsaber (lol oxymoron), we shouldn't have black lightsabers because we don't want ten year olds coming in, saying 'my name is darth Revan and I hav a darkssaber ya n00bs bow to me I know rn't i the kewlest?'

No "darksabers" because they're ****ing stupid. Sorry, but it breaks the story-telling atmosphere when you throw in a giant purple elephant that farts bubbles and whiskey whilst trying to RP a very serious death scene, so...a black lightsaber would have the same sort of effect. It's totally out of ****ing nowhere and it makes no sense.

Stick with actual colours. Because it MAKES SENSE.

Subtle as a wrecking ball. I like your style.

They're not real. Lightsabers are made of plasma and they look the way they do because they emit light energy(as well as other types of energy). Darkness is a lack of energy, ergo such a thing would be impossible. It was put in TFU to impress kids.

The black has white around it, so think of it as the white absorbing all of the light from the black core, causing it to appear that it is black energy. The black doesn't have to be any energy at all, it just has to be a void. The white is the saber, and since Darksabers can't be colored then that would make sense because it's a hollow core with no glow. It's easily possible. :CHappy:

No. Now stop this nonsense.
It was put into TFU to be cool, that's it.

No it's not. End of.
So cool stuff can't be canon? Pink lightsabers are out then.
You could potentially find a pink lightsaber crystal if you so wished, it's a colour in the visible spectrum, so other than looking like an anus, I don't see why you couldn't have one.
:CIsee: You sympathize with Donut and you die!
OMG! STOP SPAMMING!!! Next time you spam I'm giving you an official warning. You've got like 700 posts and I'd guess over 650 have no point at all other than meaningless drivel. It's not cool. It's not funny. It's just plain annoying.

I think this thread has also served its purpose. So lock.
