5000 degrees, centimeters away from a naked hand, would be kinda damaging to skin.

- Arnor 13y agoThat's where _the force_ comes in. Nerd Shamed by vvv
- deletes 13y agoHan Solo isn't a force user. Hoth
- jaredmcateer 13y agoTBF He had heavy duty insulated gloves on and the lightsaber was only powered for ~10 seconds.
- deletes 13y agoThat is true. He could do it. But there is the problem of the Tauntan. If the saber did produce that temperature, they wouldn't need to rest inside of the the warm carcass, therefore, by the movie's logic, the saber doesn't produce much temperature.
- terranstyler 13y agoPlus it wasn't exactly hot on Hoth
- Osmium 13y agoTo be fair, Hoth was pretty cold...
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoDon't think General Grievous is a force user either.
- deletes 13y agoI don't count that as canon. Plus he had metal hands so...
- damon_c 13y agoWhether or not Han Solo unknowingly uses the force is an unanswered question.
- bsamuels 13y agoNot necessarily, maybe the thermal properties of the lightsaber are modified to give them high thermal resistance that is lowered contextually (like when youre slashing up some guy) example of extremely high thermal resistance material: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9Yax8UNoM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9Yax8UNoM
- wnoise 13y agoNot necessarily. Temperature determines which way heat energy flows, it says nothing about how fast it flows. I can hold my hand in an oven at 500 degrees with no problem because the transfer is very slow. Briefly touching a much cooler 150 degree piece of metal would give me a nasty burn, because of how quickly the heat transfers.
