+301 If Jedis can pick stuff up with the force, why don't they just pick up a bunch of machine guns and mow the enemy down? Seems a lot more effective than a laser sword, amirite?

Because guns are an unelegant weapon. Come on, they go over this multiple times!

It is if it shoots light sabers.

It is elegant or inelegant if it shoots light sabers?

If it's a freakin machine gun that shoots lightsabers, that is the most elegant thing in the whole universe, man!

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I wouldn't say it's the most elegant, but probably the most convenient.

That's true.

Because "a long time ago" they didn't have machine guns.

just space ships, force fields, and laser swords...

@1163918 (Saigot): My theory is that in their society, they decided to focus more on that form of weaponry from the beginning. While we kept our advances broad, they seemed to focus more on military stuff.

They definitely had lasers and machine guns and all that kind of good stuff.

Because the suck at picking stuff up. Yoda struggled to lift one pillar!

Yoda also picked up an x-wing fighter out of a swamp... That would take much strength.

Still it shows over all brute strength which is still hard for them to do. Also he'd have to aim all at once and pull the trigger while lifting them. It would be incredibly difficult for them. Also they're bonded to their saber or something

ya the force is used more to understand what is around you, not manipulate it

Because lazer swords are fucking cool.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Because lazer sword beats everything! Has anyone else seen that commercial?

Because the Sith always load available machine guns with blank ammo as a prank.
