- Where exactly is the source for it being resistant/impenetrable to a lightsaber blade? Vryce 20:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I can't find any source that says "Electrum" is lightsaber resistant. Further, this is directly contradicted by the Revenge of the Sith novelization, where Mace Windu cuts Sideous' saber in half. I believe this reference is fan fiction, by someone who doesn't believe that Jedi or Sith used gold/gold plating for the way it looks. [Tarek] 14:19 EDT, 15 May 2007.
- I just found this out as well. The novelization states that it can be cut on page 357: "Out where the shadow's fear made it hesitate........out where Mace could flick his blade in one precise arc and slash the shadow's Lightsaber in half. One piece flipped back in through the cut open window..." Mrobviousjosh 23:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say remove the sentence that talks about Electrum being a "lightsaber proof" material, since it clearly isn't, and add the reference from Attack of the Clones visual dictionary stating that Electrum, as a decorative metal, could be used in lightsabers by senior members of the Jedi Council as a sign of rank.

- Shall be done, Master. Also, I will remove it from the list of lightsaber-resistant materials. Nat682 20:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Revenge of the Sith: Visual Dictionary quite clearly states that Palpy's lightsaber was made from Phrik! All that glitters is not gold, lads.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 11:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Wouldn't that novelization then be in direct contradiction with the movie, which is "more" canon, where Mace kicked the saber out the window? Jhbartlett 03:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, obviously it wasn't really cut in half. But there's still no source saying that it is lightsaber-resistant, is there?InSaneWeTrust 07:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
huh?[]
if only senior councilors could have it, how do we explain Coleman?Xzylongann 00:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- Because he was on the Jedi High Council. That makes him senior.—Tommy9281 (Peace is a lie) 00:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- My understanding is that the only senior councilors were Yoda and Mace. Xzylongann 04:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
