After being informed who his master is going to be, Tony went with Anakin to study the basics of making a lightsaber.

They were taught how it works. After learning a bit of their functionality, Tony found out that he was both close to the truth, while also far from it.

He was close to making one in that he was correct in using lasers instead of plasma. The lightsabers were supposed to ignite at any condition while plasma has some restrictions.

(AN: I know wiki says it's plasma but I never found a statement where Lucas said it is plasma. All that I found were him referring to the lightsabers as laser swords. I've also checked some science news this time making plasma a lot less possible in my opinion. More on it below.)

While he was correct in the part of the laser, he was wrong when it came to the Kyber Crystal. He thought that the Kyber Crystal was just a power source but he couldn't be more wrong. The lightsaber has its own power cell as well as all the other things. The Kyber Crystal was in charge of something else.

The Kyber Crystals weren't there to power the device. It was used to focus and create the lightsaber's blade. It conditions the photon's given by the emitter, changing its properties. Immense beams of light are directed towards the Crystal which it then focuses to create the blade.

Instead of particles moving independently of each other, the photons were influenced by the Kyber Crystal so that they would stick with one another. This created the blade part of the lightsaber while the blade's form is maintained by its containment field.

While an untuned Kyber Crystal could ignite and create form a blade, it wasn't a complete lightsaber. The Jedi making the lightsaber has to first attune the Crystal so that he would form a connection with the weapon, as well as use the weapon as a conduit to form a connection with the Force.

After the rudimentary explanation about lightsabers, the two teenagers were sent to Ilum to harvest their lightsaber crystals.

There, they went inside the cave without supervision.

At some point in the cave, there appear branching paths. The two talked about which path to go to but couldn't settle on one. In the end, they separated ways.

After getting far enough, Tony contacted the Force for some guidance and then Phoenix for some inquiry.

He had an idea pop up in his head that he wanted to see it was possible.

Phoenix: "What is it? You want to go back home now?"

Tony: "Not yet. I was actually going to ask you something?"

The Phoenix looked inside Tony's mind to check. Immediately after looking at his idea, she started looking at him weirdly

Phoenix: "Are you crazy?"

Tony: "What? I haven't even asked it yet."

Phoenix: "You don't have to. Using an Infinity Stone for your toy, how did you even manage to bring it along to this universe?"

Tony smiled at the Phoenix. He knew that she was referring to the Space Stone. Tony brought it along as an insurance. Universe hopping has some temporal instability after all, so Tony brought the Stone to have more certainty.

God might 'accidentally' miss the mark and send Tony to the future after all. With this Infinity Stone with Tony, god might have a lot more motivation to put him back at the right place

Tony: "It's not important. Just tell me, would it work?"

Phoenix: "I'm not sure. There have been instances of the Stone leaving their home universes but nothing like this happened to them. Would that toy even function using the Space Stone?"

Tony: "I think so. I've found out that Kyber Crystals can be artificially manufactured. It might take a while to create it but I think it should work. I'm just not sure what would happen when I use it. The stones are powerless outside their universe and I'm afraid it might crumble."

Phoenix: "Crumble? Who told you that? If you're worrying that it might break, then you're stupider than I thought. The Infinity Stones are made from remnants of singularities. The stones managed to survive the Big Bang. It could handle that flashlight just fine."

Tony: "And the mystic space magic part?"

Phoenix: "No clue. Best case scenario, you get a sword that can cut through space."

Tony: "And the worst case?"

Phoenix: "Do you want me to tell you?"

Tony hesitated for a bit. He was hesitating because he might hear something that would make him stop. But then he remembered that his Jedi Training included facing their fears.

Tony: "Yes"

Phoenix: "The universe might be infected."

Tony: "Infected? By the Force?"

Phoenix: "What else?"

Tony: "Okay. But Why do you sound like you're treating it like a disease."

Phoenix: "Because it would be. There is already the Quantum Realm, Astral Plane, and many other dimensions. Do you people from those dimensions would just leave Force alone? They would try to manipulate it once they discovered it. "

Tony: "Fine. I'll think it through."

When Tony exited the cave, he had 8 different Kyber crystals. 6 were going to be acting as the Infinity Stone while the other two were the crystals that were meant for him. He only showed the two to the council as he didn't want to attract more attention by having 8 in total.

After getting their crystals, Tony and Anakin were introduced to the droid who has records of all the lightsabers ever created. The droid taught them the rest of what they needed to finally build their own lightsabers.

After building their lightsabers, the two separated to accompany their respective Jedi Masters

AN: Honestly, I just checked the part with the photons first since that's where I started. But now that I've checked, I think photon is a lot more possible than plasma. Mainly because humans know a lot more about plasma than photons which just makes it less possible in my perspective.

Step 1

1. Photons Clumping Together to form Photonic Molecules

Photon is subjected to a special medium which modifies it. The modification is retained after the photon leaves the medium

Attractive Photons in a Quantum Nonlinear Medium.

Citation: Firstenberg, Ofer, et al. "Attractive Photons in a Quantum Nonlinear Medium." Nature, vol. 502, no. 7469, 2013, pp. 71–75., doi:10.1038/nature12512.

Kyber Crystals can be used as a medium. With powerful emitters that can supply as many photons as needed, the photon clump could flow continuously like ice cream coming out of ice cream machines. It might be a thin blade since some Kyber crystals are thing but since Photons are not really that heavy, it would still retain the straight shape. Rigidness part is the unknown

Note that the Photons attract and repel one another at this state. This might apply during lightsaber clashes, where the spark goes out at the point of contact.

Also, broken Kyber crystal, like what Kylo Ren has in his saber could be due to photon not modified in by the 'medium' properly.

Step 2

Paper: Interacting Floquet Polaritons.

Citation: Clark, Logan W., et al. "Interacting Floquet Polaritons." Nature, vol. 571, no. 7766, 2019, pp. 532–536., doi:10.1038/s41586-019-1354-5.

Photon's act like atoms when using other atoms as a go-between.

But there is a problem "But we were running into a problem because the photons only interact with atoms whose electronic orbitals are at very particular energies," They used something related to electromagnetic fields to induce the interaction between the particles.

Stretching the fiction of Sci-Fi, this could be how lightsabers could interact with other lightsabers as well as regular matter. The containment field may not actually be a containment field but an inducer(not sure if this is the right term) field.

It 'sci-fi' treats the crap out of the target atoms so that they would interact with photons that might otherwise absorb or reflect it.

This would be the weight and resistances when lightsabers hit something.

Now about my problem with plasma

I'm willing to ignore the problem that plasma lightsaber is a handheld sun.

Plasma passing through the crystal can also be excused through quantum phasing.

There are also supposed to be a lot of problems with fuel(gas that turns into plasma) and other stuff but I don't like plasma anymore because of one thing in particular. If it is indeed plasma, then the containment field becomes way too important.

1. Lightsabers works on water.

(Light can pass through the water just fine.)

For the extremely hot plasma to not immediately vaporize the water, then the containment field should be able to repel water. This makes it less of a magnetic field but a physical field instead.

At least with photons, the wave part of light means it could interact with water without boiling it at contact.

2. If #1 is solved by making the containment field a physical field, then it could be possible for a lightsaber to be used without a Kyber Crystal.

I mean, the plasma is only there for cutting and melting since the containment field could hit mater by itself. It should be able to run without having to work with a kyber crystal installed to do things to the blade.

Instead of a lightsaber, you can just call it an invisible pipe/baseball bat instead.

PS: If someone did manage to discover and create a lightsaber using this, please add kamote to the credits. I'm not talking about my actual name, I mean to use kamote. If you're not familiar with Kamote, Google it.

Too lazy to check? Kamote = Sweet Potato

Now think about future kids who research about lightsabers in some kind of report. Imagine what they would think of seeing a kamote is involved. If the lightsabers became standard equipment, this troll would probably until the end of times.
