1). how long was Obiwans lightsaber in TPM?
2). Mike, how'd you get those calcs for the Jedi force speed? I tried to do it myself, but I get a much smaller number than you (about 1/2 of yours IIRC).

Somewhere between 90 and 150cm, I'd say.

Well, I dare say he saw how long it took the Jedi to get a certain distance away, then calced the acceleration with Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad.

Well I was looking for a more exact number for question 1. But thanks.
And thanks for question number 2.

When deactivated, a lightsaber appears as a polished metallic handle, about 30 centimeters long, lined with control studs. At the press of a button the energy contained within is liberated and forms as a shaft of pure energy about a meter long. The saber hums and scintillates with a distinct sound. Its shimmering blade is capable of cutting through almost anything, save for the blade of another lightsaber.

Is this related to the thread where you were saying it was inaccurate to use the lightsaber as a benchmark to measure the distance Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon covered in TPM?

Well I was genuinely curious. But yes, that also played a role.
Thank you.

I see no use for three-foot sabre unless you either
1. Seek oral enjoyment from large mobs.
2. Like elephants.
