Does Beskar armor resist lightsabers?
In S2, E5, when Din Djarin (the Mandalorian of the title) fights against a Jedi, his Beskar armor is able to fully protect him from slashes from a lightsaber.
Is this a new concept introduced by Disney's The Mandalorian or has it been this way from the original Lucas's Star Wars universe?
I was under the impression a lightsaber could cut through anything but another lightsaber.
Best Answer
Beskar is newly introduced concept, it's not in the original series. It's able to resist light-Sabres but it can't effectively the Arc-Light Generator which heats up the armour until the person it is protecting is fried.
