Lightsaber Shadow
Hello everyone! I was watching a gameplay video of Fallen Order by the youtube channel "Star Wars explained" and the gameplay looks very good, but I noticed something weird. It seems like Cal´s...
@OsirisTheVileyou miss the point of my question, it shouldn´t throw a shadow (as far as I know) and I understand that the blade is a model in the game.
But for in-universe it either depends on the blade being plasma, thus matter that can throw shadows in theory, or it being laser, which is more plausible in canon since it has been frequently adressed as such, not only in different translations of Star Wars e.g. "Laserschwert" in german or "sabre laser" in french, but also in english.
And since laser is basicly light, it cannot throw a shadow.
If the devs said that this was implemented intentionally, that would be totally fine by me, I only want to know.
I love that we're getting into the science. 🙂
