most Superman writing since Byrne attributes his invulnerability to a zero range psychokinetic forcefield; Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan running away from the destroyer droids in Phantom Menace suggests lightsabers aren't great against force fields, so Clark is probably in good shape

If a lightsaber is a projection from the hilt wouldn't the saber just stop at his hand unless he was making an effort to hold it gingerly

Also if his hand can block it wouldn't his entire body be invulnerable just the same way? Why try to catch it at all?

i could see where if he's invulnerable enough that it can't injure him but not invulnerable enough that it doesn't sting, he wouldn't want Vader poking him in the eye with it

Could Vader deflect Superman's eye beams with the saber? I'd assume yes. Can Supes be injured by his own eye rays?

whoo, now that depends a hell of a lot on who's writing. even whether he has "beams" depends on that. but various version of Superman have been shown to only be able to shave by using heat vision in a mirror, so that at least suggests when he does have beams they can hurt him

The real question is whether Vader's helmet is radiation-shielded so Supes can't see through it and stop himself before pulping an old man

oh god, it probably is, and Clark would feel so bad about mulching Anakin. probably wouldn't happen, though; the fact that he's fighting a guy in a mobile iron lung isn't likely to escape his super-hearing

True. But what if the Emperor was trying to make Superman his new disciple & using Force mind powers to increase his aggression???

whoa. well, in that case, even though Force psychological manipulation normally only works on the weak-minded, which Clark definitely isn't, it totally works and Supes reduces Vader to a fine red mist, because i absolutely want to read SUPER DARK EMPIRE.
