As the Movie section seems to have become the de facto Star Wars section, I thought it best to put this here.
I was in a Role-play once, where a Jedi encountered a group of soldiers armed with early-20th Century level firearms (Bolt-action rifles, revolvers, etc.). This got me thinking:
A lightsabre can deflect a blaster bolt with no problem, as we all know. But, what about bullets? What do you think would happen if a Jedi tried to deflect a bullet?
My personal theory is: The energy beam would melt the bullet, and possibly heat the metal so hot that some of its' mass would become gas. But for the most part, the Jedi would get white-hot metal splattering over them.
Any thoughts, opinions?
