now what we need to make is a darth vader type suit , one that let's you breathe when you are near death however if you take it , you cannot take it off or you die, however this therapy would only allow if you had both arms and 1 leg burned due to lava because you were too dumbass to know that you should not attack an enemy that has higher ground and not know that betraying your friends is not the best way to get lifesaving powers

I don't know, keep a laser pointed at a planet for say a billion or so years and it might cause some damage ... lol ... in SW blasters do use light but combined with tibana gas, whatever the hell that is. With the different types of lasers they depend on the amount of reflection before being discharged. The "Tech Journals" of SW actually do try to explain things but it's usually just BS made to sound good & of course the laws of physics are different there ... lol ...

I dobt that we cab blow up planets by pointing laser based weapons on it :P But then again these "turbolasers" and so on might be just a names given to a weapons you know :P Tiger tank for instance has nothing to do with the real tigers you know.

[JediDude38]

As for the laser thing, yes the hand blaster and such are not based on light ... however ... the "big guns" are laser based. Capital Ships have turbolasers ... the Death Stars had super lasers.

[cyberdaemon]

As about laser technology , star wars characters DO NOT use laser technology.They use a blaster technology , which is an energetically charged bolts or "something".Its not a light.

[cyberdaemon]

I would say that robots are perfect at aiming and hitting the targets , but they suck at emotions.These star wars droids are in fact very human , they seems to have feelings , fears and desires.The terminator in this case is more realistic , it has as much emotions as land mines and in reality it would be as deadly accurate as call of duty player using an aimbot :P And differently from star wars droids , the real robots woulnt have a sense of self preservation.

[JediDude38]

Just to close the AI thing ... have you ever seen the Terminator movies ... yeah I know, no where near real but it does show the basic problem. When we see through the eyes of a terminator you see that they use real numbers not integer numbers ... if we could use real numbers in tech stuff like that then AI would be here sooner than you think ... but we can't yet so I guess there are no worries ... yet anyways.
