      Lightsabers would still have the same chance to /stop/ a bullet. They just wouldn’t reflect back like blasterfire.

      The advantages that slugthrowers had over any lightsaber user raise not from any penetrative or evasive ability (though, if Star Wars bothered to pay attention to physics, a 2 centimeter slug would expand to over 70 centimeters, a 3500% increase in size, assuming that lightsabers are plasma), but rather from something they’re missing that blasters have: energy. Sure, a blaster can do far more damage, but that inherent damage-dealing energy is, in fact, more than the gas bolt can handle, and the energy boils off (yeah, simple explanation FTW), producing the colors that lasers/etc. are. That energy also makes the shots far more easy to detect; as "high and mighty" as Jedi may be, it took significant ability to fight entirely blind (as Gathorn will be quick to say, "sparring != combat," so Luke’s–and every other Padawan’s, practically–ability to deflect training bolts doesn’t count).
      Furthermore, blasters, in addition to being inherently easy to detect, are also inherently easy to block; electromagnetic interference pretty much means that a lightsaber doesn’t need to block head on for the duration of the blaster bolt for the bolt to be absorbed… that’s what allows force users to "sweep" away the bolts). Slugs don’t have this disadvantage.

      Plus, a forcer could just force push them out of the air.

      We could allways use a sonic weapon of some sort to get around a lightsaber like the geonosians did.

      How did this basically turn into a "how do I stop a Forcer?" conversation?

      There are tons of ways in the game to stop a forcer already, people just need to use their brains.

      QFT. (Well, the grammatically-correct bits.)

      Exactly. if the slug grew in size, it’d be just easy for a forcer to use a force shield or just simple mind manipulation to deflect the fire of one slugthrower. Now 3 or four, then it’s not possible, because everyone knows that forcers can’t multitask.

      hey, just saw people said they would like to see grenade that do poison, wanted to point out that that is already put in, and has been since like last year. also, there is a combo that does -3str, i’ve made it.
