Yeah it happens, but the bright light from the blade makes it clearly visible meaning that in a real battle your enemy would see where you are and kill you before your boomerang would come back to you
I’ve had Star Wars fans argue vigorously that a Jedi could deflect a cloud of buckshot with a lightsabre. I’m a Star Wars fan myself but that’s a sure sign of someone who’s gone completely off the deep end. It’s a very basic question of simple geometry - you can’t intercept every pellet in a three-dimensional cloud with a two-dimensional rod regardless of how fast your precognitive reflexes are.
Yeah, C4 is not exactly a ranged weapon unless it’s paired with an impact detonator and flung via trebuchet.
Then we just strap naquadah on the C4 and blow the whole continent up. There you have your range.
“Yeah, C4 is not exactly a ranged weapon”
Not with that attitude it isn’t.
Its like he’s never even kissed semtex
And lightsabres are?
Don’t Jedi throw them all the time? Like doing spinning out boomerang moves or is that just the games?

If you’re returning blaster bolts.
A Jedi vs. a random Tau’ri with a P90 would hardly be a fair match. The Jedi wouldn’t know what hit him.
Slugthrowers are a viable weapon against jedi, old canon at least.

I’d sooner accept stopping all the pellets using the force, like Neo did in the second Matrix movie.
it’s not even two dimensional, it’s one dimensional!
Ah, brain fart, indeed.
Claymores certainly have range.
