Do you read Star Wars novels? I can assure you that beam cannons are not lightsabers.

 Do you seriously think I don't know that?  I will have to be REALLY stupid not to know that.
O.K, looks like . . . no one agrees with me . . . fine . . . but can people do us a favour and not write comments like " Oh! A beam cannon is not a lightsaber!! "

Well, it doesn't help that you said "as far as I know" in your post... that sort of indicates you not only believe but know for a fact that the thing you are about to state is true, or at least are pretty certain of it... What it doesn't sound like is that you are stating a hypothesis, which in this case is at best false.

Er, I don't read it as any such thing. I read it as "all evidence available points to this conclusion".

I actually read that as being indicative of some level of uncertainty, and that there's further tests/information that could be gained, or else it would be "As far as can be known" or something similar.

A hypothesis is basically someone saying "As far as we know, gravity is caused by mass" and not making wild unsupported guesses "The chicken came before the egg".

But at any rate, I'm inclined to agree that it's false, since I don't remember anything about crystals in the FS universe. Nor do I remember anything that even suggested that crystals are used for any kind of weaponry whatsoever.

Crystals are too a power source.!!!!!

Are you serious?

There are dozens of websites like this on the internet. Hundreds, probably.

But oh well. Magical beams with new age healing crystals does sound pretty interesting.

plasma is one of the four primary states of matter

I've always hated that claim that there were 4 primary states. I've never understood how they managed to expand from the classic 3 by including plasma but still ignore liquid crystals. I find it an odd state of affairs to say that the state that stops every life form on Earth collapsing into a big puddle doesn't count as a primary state of matter.

Get in the way of new age healing crystal beams and you will feel better pilot!'
