Seriously try and think all the angles before going "It's must be a technical fuck up!"

That doesnt answer the question my friend.
I'm quite certain that Ray shields only block/deflect energy and not matter. That is why proton torpedoes could penetrate the thermal exhuast ports on DS1.

Dumbass....

THEY (ie Anakin, Obi Wan, Palpatine) cannot pass through because it may cause THEM HARM.

How does that fucking Contradict a WEAPON passing through said shielding ?

Sidetrack: Can anyone confirm that the Gunguns specifically deployed a ray shield around their armies?

And how did you figure that humans will be harmed/injured when they pass through ray shielding? Is that a fact or an opinion?

You honestly don't understand how it can be possible for something to harm humans but not destroy metal objects?

I figured it was a specific anti-Jedi containment device.

As NecronLord said, a jedi simply would have sliced through a blast door.

Not to mention, Grevous knew he would have to deal with Jedi on his ship sooner or later ("Just as Count Dooku predicted)

He probably had it put in to deal with Jedi

Of course I can understand. But you guys are working on the assumption that ray shielding is harmful to humans. And where did you get that assumption? Oh maybe because it glows and it's called a "ray shield" so it has to be harmful to humans... Great justification man... Isn't there anything more specific besides your common sense?

Unless I am wrong, the SW universe has a thing called "particle shielding", which is specifically designed to block/deflect non-energy based weapons, i.e. torpedoes. So why didn't Grevious deploy his particle shields instead?

In The Phantom Menace Trade Federation destroyer droids had built-in ray shields, and the Grand Army of the Gungans was also outfitted with portable in-atmosphere theatre shields. These were ray shields, but they may have had some deflector function as well. We did not see living flesh pass through any of these shields, and it is to be expected that such contact would result in lethal scorching, like in The Courtship of Princess Leia. Battle droids, being made of unliving matter, could press through the shields with minimal effort. It would be interesting to see whether protective armour made of similar materials would provide the same advantage to living soldiers. (This may be one benefit of stormtrooper gear.)

The Gungans didn't seem bothered by shield heating, but the air mass under their shield was probably large enough to allow survival for several hours. However an extended stay under the sheild might make the enclosed air insufferably hot. At some point the Gungans would suffer asphyxiation due to the exhaustion of oxygen in the shield-enclosed air. (That time limit depends on the oxygen consumption and tolerances of the personnel and beasts of the Grand Army.)

Okay dumbfuck...now you're just flining a lovely little strawman.

The Burden of Proof is to show Anakin and Obi Wan are such dumfucks to stop there.

Do you have any?

No?

Shut the fuck up then.

Do you have any proof from the movie or EU for that matter that ray shields cause harm to humans? No? Then perhaps you should shut the fuck up.

There´s your answer.
