the only way to tell if a man is truly gentle is if he has green moss and algae all over him from sleeping quietly, motionlessly, at the bottom of a crystal clear riverbed
this is fantastic to me because it’s EU canon that ballistic weapons like these are a bitch to handle with a lightsaber, because if you try to block them like blaster bolts the metal slugs just melt and keep on coming
like probably you could stop them with the Force if you’d drilled that reflex but you won’t have, you’ve drilled blocking
so this would actually be a potentially workable, if unorthodox, option for a jedi up against a sith lord who had them spiritually outgunned
