Forst of all the speed of a blaster bolt? Really? Its a freakin beam of extreme heat. In order to keep that heat it needs to retain a high velocity. Waaaay faster than a bullet.
And even if blaster bolts were slower the jedi can use the force to push the bullets away
It would actually be easier for a jedi to block bullets because they are solid objects which can be influenced by the force unlike blaster bolts

In most cases blaster bolts move slower than bullets. Most firearms generally fire a round at about 720mph. The speed of sound is 762mph (roughly). So in actuality the sound of the shot firing reaches you an instant before the bullet does. There are weapons that fire at faster than sound though. We have high caliber rifles that can fire bullets at super-sonic speed, roughly between 900-1300mph, a bit shy of mach 2. Then we have Rail Guns which can fire projectiles around Mach 7. But those're big, Naval Ship mounted guns.(Modern Ships) A blaster is not a laser so it does not go very fast (speed of light), instead they fire a bolt of focused high energy particle beam. A common blaster is plasma based. meaning it fired a superheated, ionized gas.

Edited by TGI Friday's: 5/6/2015 4:27:13 PMIf u ever watch star wars the clone wars they talk about the blasters being the same speed as light so yeah blasters are faster Plus youre thinking of the terms of halo when it comes to physics remember that this is also in a different galaxy with different physical properties

If blasters were light speed. It would be 100% impossible to block. Since the Jedi wouldn't even see or have any time to react to it. Do you even know the speed of light? Lmao.

Blasters doesn't shoot laser beams so they can not travel at the speed of light. Blasters fire particle beam which doesn't fire at the speed of light and is somewhat slower than what you keep implying. Lots of people get confused that a blaster shoots laser beams but it doesn't.

But its not based on our physics its based on george Lucases interpretation of the idea. He made the blaster bolts the same speed as light they even say so in the show so im going with that. Besides blasters are far more advanced than bullets so thats another thing And yes i know its based on a long time ago but remember its also a different galaxy so completely different physics
-
You need to give me proof that it was said on the movie/show because I watched every movie and show and I'm adamant that it was never mentioned.
-
I think its season 3 of star wars the clone wars idk exactly what episode. But the setting is a clone trooper (i think cody) talking to a geoup of new troops about battle. Thats when he mentions the speed of blaster bolts being almost the speed of light
-
Just watched episodes 1 and 2 of season 3 (where clone cadets were on Kamino) and there was no mention of blasters speeds
-
Well idk but i clearly remember it dude im sorry if idont remember its in there somewhere
-
Its allllllllrrrrrriiiiggghhhttt.
-
Ah oh well i think each side would have their strengths and weaknesses so it would still be a fair fight
-
Exactly! Our debate finally came to a conclusion.
-
Yup lol
-
Srsly that fast?! Jesus bruh

Was bored at work so i binged through. Gotta love netflix.
