How Hot Would a Light Saber Really Be?

Datagod asks: "Has anyone ever calculated the temperature you would need to be able to slice through steel like it was thin air? How hot would a light saber really need to be? Also, I am assuming that at least some of the metal would be vaporized and the expanding gas would fling bits of molten metal at the saber wielder. Wouldn't your average Jedi be horribly scarred from all this."

    gay pr0n? you saw the picture. Bob Goatse is wearing a wedding ring.

    the fact that a few of you shitgarglers haven't seen this picture really hurts me. Klerck must be spinning in his faggy little grave.
