Lithophila 291 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 (edited) What do you usually say when you see fictional swords that has a beam shooting out. Like this for example. I just call it a laser sword. Because 1: I dislike Star Wars 2: I am just used to calling it that. What about you?

Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Light Saber is way better, especially those double-bladed ones that may be able to split into two light sabers, like the one Darth Mull had in Episode 1. 2 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterSpark95 430 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Light saber, since "laser swords" sounds really wierd... I mean, imagine a conversation like that: Person 1: "Hey, did you see that new Star Wars movie with the epic laser swords?" Person 2: "No, I didn't, really... plus, why are you calling them laser swords? I thought they were supposed to be light sabers, not laser swords." Person 1: ... Person 2: ... Person 1: "You're right, light sabers sound way better. But, laser swords for the win!"

Lithophila 291 January 16, 2016 Author Share January 16, 2016 Light saber because there are no good laser swords, @@@Lithophila Aha ^w^. I searched up "Laser Swords". Turns out there are some who have tried it and burned stuff on it. So i guess with technology you never know, but it seriously does looks very dangerous though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Is Best Pony 634 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 I don't like Star Wars at ALL! But I immediately associatie energy blades in science fiction with lightsabers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithophila 291 January 16, 2016 Author Share January 16, 2016 @@Lithophila, believe it or not, they actually call a light saber a laser sword in the dreaded awful Phantom Menace I can only assume its a better term for it, considering lasers burn. And since there exists some powerful lasers that can have strong enough power to burn. Or in science fiction it slices off with one touch though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish In Physician 295 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 I have never called any sword from anything outside of starwars a lightsaber. I think that is foolish. Personally, while a fane of star wars I am, I think that lightsaber is a dumbass name for their weapons. Perhaps if it were really a saber, I'd be more inclined to feel like that is what they are. ._. This being said however, I don't refer to the other weapons of the caliber as laser swords either. Commonly I go by three names depending on the origin of the weapon. Beam Sword Energy Sword Beam Saber Personally, as far as late 70's scifi goes, I am much more akin to Gundam though. I think it's much better than Star Wars. Thats just my opinion. 2 Sig by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,307 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Personally, I prefer Knight Sabers myself. Laser swords and the like are too "Old School" for my taste. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal Nature 321 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Light saber, not only with me being a fan of Star Wars, it's literally the word I grew up around. So calling it a Beam Sword is light giving up my childhood word of an actual weapon that is FREAK'N AWESOME! 1 https://mlpforums.com/uploads/monthly_07_2015/post-15132-0-75683200-1436825571.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draxon 214 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 I tend to call anything like that outside the Star Wars universe a laser sword. Lightsaber just seems like a very Star Wars-specific designation to me. 2 Thrackerzod is best pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unikitty 1,212 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 I call it whatever it's called in the franchise it's in. In StarWars, it's a lightsaber. In something else it might be a laser sword or a phaseblade. It's all depending on what it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHaert 277 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Lightsabers do not burn, laser sword, burns. Lightsaber, is made entirely of light energy, (or whatever the hell its made of), and a laser sword, in my book, laser is a component of the actual blade, not one hundred percent laser. Eh. I'm just rambling. OC: Shēn Sè OC: Dark FaçadeOC: Whirlwind FirestarterOC: Ignis 47 OC: Dark Façade 2099 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just rambling. If you're talking StarWars, lightsabers certainly do burn. They're composed of superheated plasma contained within an energy field of some sort. Their name just refers to their intense colour properties. Hence why the terms 'lightsaber' and 'laser sword' are used interchangeably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883 January 16, 2016 Share January 16, 2016 Energy sword because I do not know if it is a true "laser" sword or plasma. The lightsaber is the only exception as it is plasma, for other fiction I try to keep it neutral until I know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
