Oh man, this is 100% real. Disney is such garbage...
Or perhaps the Jedi are also just cooking with water.
Meh, it's one of those things that's going to be around forever. I would be absolutely unsurprised if crosshead screws were still a thing in 4800 ce.
You're building a light saber.
Do you:
A. Weld everything
Or
B. Drill holes and thread the holes for a bolt
I'm sure they have some kind of crazy riveting technology. Is she installing screws because she wants to be able to easily take apart her lightsaber if needed?
Well, the option with screws makes it more repairable.
Republic era lightsabers used neither. They held themselves together kinda like jointing in woodwork.
Also the image doesn't show a lightsaber? It's a bo-staff built out of literal scraps?
I mean, supposedly some lightsabers were built in a cave. They probably used whatever was on hand, and I'm thinking screws are more common in rubbish strewn pits and rankor caves than welding machines.
Screws maybe
But you have to machine a hole in the metal for the screw to function
You know how hard it would be to drill a hole for a screw in a cave with scrap parts and no power drill?
All you need to crudely weld, probably as strong as a screw, is heat. Fire is easy in a cave.
I'd wager they could melt some metal together before devising a cave drill press.
We have no idea what metal or alloy it is. They could have an alloy that melts easily, but once hard, it adheres to other metals and practically unbreakable. Just find some scraps of that alloy to easily weld.
That depends, is the person building it a DIY tinker, or a mass production factory worker? Because a tinkerer is absolutely going to want to open it up easily.
