Is it viewable anywhere in canon where a Sith's lightsaber disrupts a Jedi's lightsaber blade?

    I guess two knockoff lightsaber rings getting convoluted doesn't count? From what I remember, I haven't seen any single instance of a lightsaber "blade" being broken, bent, or disrupted in some way (excluding incidents of the actual device failing, e.g. due to being cut). Where did you get that idea from? – Mario Dec 11 '14 at 10:06

    I don't believe the blade could be broken... It is not solid, it is directional light... What is breakable is the actual grip device, which breaks a lot in the prequel movies – LcSalazar Dec 11 '14 at 11:34

    Also, tons of materials could break the blade (cortosis ore, Mandalorian iron, Foreworm armor o Eol Sha) – DVK-on-Ahch-To Dec 11 '14 at 17:14
  • @Mario- I got the idea from Star Wars where it says a sith crystal is powerful enough to disrupt a jedi's blade. Do you even Star Wars? – Josh Schwarzzeskywalker Dec 11 '14 at 19:59

According to Legends canon: yes.

In fact, synth-crystal blades were so powerful that they had the rare potential to "break the blade" of standard lightsabers by overloading the energy matrix and instantly burning out the other lightsaber. Though this happened extremely rarely, it was a known and frightening possibility in combat (Source: Wikia, referencing "Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force")

I'll try to post the exact quote from the source when I'm home.
