@@GenerationTech Movie Battles 2 decided to implement B2 battle droids that can have cortosis plating. It's hilariously effective vs jedi, especially with how a single slap from a B2 superbattle droid can knock anyone down except for a wookiee. So imagine this, you're storming down theed palace hallway, trying to dislodge enemy snipers to let your team advance. You notice an SBD firing down your line like the machinegun on 2 legs it is. You go in to kill it and... your lightsaber dies. You get bitchslapped and shot to pieces. Well, either that or a nearby stormie runs over and beats you up as you are flipping back onto your feet (it takes ~1 seconds - enough to punch a jedi to death with enough stormies). Also yes, you got jedi storming theed palace that's defended by SBDs and stormtroopers. It's an awesome game.

Thats more than all of Mando Season 2! its being review bombed and a lot of people don't like the producers/directors so they set out to find every single thing wrong with the show. Then the LORE geeks lose their mind because something might go against lore when not everything has been explained. Episode 3 Kid Amundi andany of the Jedi council never mentioned the word SITH! So lore wasnt really broken was it? They thought it must of been a Jedi who trained her. Anyways, maybe everyone is going to die and the secret sith or whatever he is doesnt make it to the outisde world. Another thing..its NOT THAT DEEP. I agree that Kid Mundi being in it is weak sauce but I can get over it with these awesome ass fight scenes! The sith was BRUTAL in killing the Jedi! Best live action scenes since Clone Wars!

I've watched a lot of "top ten materials that can block lightsabers" videos over the years, so I immediately recognized the material depicted here, even if I didn't remember what it was called off the top of my head. I also remember reading old Legends novels back in the day that took place in the era the sequel trilogy does now (The Legacy of the Force series is still in my opinion what the sequel trilogy should have been), and in one scene when some young Jedi are engaged by Mandalorian mercenaries, they're all stunned by the fact that their lightsabers just bounce right off their beskaar. The narration even saying "The revelation of 'My lightsaber doesn't work' is a very naked feeling for any Jedi." It really emphasized just how over-reliant the Jedi had become on their lightsabers to do basically everything. They weren't just weapons, they were the ultimate handyman tool that could cut through anything. So when you've carried one of those most of your life and go into battle with it only for it to be immediately rendered useless...yeah it's no wonder those Jedi redshirts were totally dumbfounded and easily dispatched by Darth Dudebro Biceps. Though I am glad that in the new canon Cortosis is EXTREMELY rare, expensive and hard to refine and work with because let's be honest, it's OP as heck. Only the most skilled and masterful of Jedi killers should be able to use it effectively, otherwise everyone would be using it.

As long as you don't think about anything happening at all, you can enjoy the show. But the instant you start actually focusing on whats happening you notice stuff. For instance in this episode, Osha tells Yord to turn off his saber as the flying animals/insects are attracted by the light. Did they attack her and Yord after she directly shone into them with her droid flashlight or did any Jedi or "Sith" get attacked for their ignited sabers? Or even the fight with Qimir as a whole. He would've unalived every Jedi after their first strike against his Cortosis helmet/gauntlet. Or how at the start they didn't overwhelm him with their numbers and only a few Jedi at a time even directly engaged him. It is all spectacle with minimal to no substance objectively speaking. It was correctly stated that the show isn't actually at ~13% Quality, but it doesn't get past 50% (objectively).

The big issue was that the show never mentioned or hinted anything about Cortosis. It would be so easy to include a line in the Jedi's investigation about Cortosis as a clue and give a brief explanation of it. Disney expects you to do your homework before watching the show, that's called bad writing. "But I don't want to be babied by having everything explained to me." Dumb*ss, the OG trilogy made time have Yoda explain the Force, have Han briefly explain hyperspace calculation, and the Prequels went out of their way to explain midichlorians among other things. Even the Sequel Trilogy unnecessarily explained that the rebel base the Resistance was going to was on a planet covered in salt. The Mandalorian was able to explain beskar by making it a consistent and prominent part of the story, each exposure telling you more about it. Cortosis was EU/Legends and was introduced into canon too suddenly, it needed buildup for episode 5 so new people can actually know what is going on as not everyone reads every book and every comic. Disney has no excuse. edit: Some people ignoring the point. Every single Star Wars film, and even the Clone Wars, made time to explain something new, but didn't need to explain every single detail, just enough to help the audience understand it and move along to get invested in the story. A simple introduction, if I don't know what is happening or why, I won't care no matter how flashy the scene is. The show had countless opportunities to mention Cortosis, but instead focused on "Power of maaanyyy." edit: Well, at least they mentioned it now in episode 6.

They don't need an excuse lol. A lot of things in Star wars happen without any explanation. No one explained how the force could lift objects in the OT, and it frankly has never been explained how it has in any movie or show since, nor how hyperspace actually functions. He explains the cals, but it took SOLO and TLJ for us to learn there's fuel for it. Some things don't need an explanation unless it's important to the plot or relevance. Without Legends, all we'd need to know is that he has a metal that shorts out lightsabers for a helmet and bracelet. In this particular case, I am sure they'd tell you why in a short conversation an episode or two later because ultimately it isn't important and only serves to make both the Stranger Unique, dangerous and more mysterious. The Mandalorian culture around Beskar is important to the character both for story reasons and the character's history. Beskar gets an explanation because it will be used in every episode and has entire plot points surrounding it. media literacy. Pretty god damn simple.

I think the biggest problems are the lore channels. A lot of them are very invested in the EU and have built their career off of it. The issue now is that LFL is picking and choosing which parts of the EU are canonical. This can admittedly cause confusion. Long story short, we just have to roll with it because LFL are the lore owners now. For example, Cortosis is Disney canon as far as I know and hasn't featured on screen until now.

I get complaining about the story and writing and acting but nothing here as far a s I know is lore breaking so wehn everyone screams at that it's just stupid Ki adi mundi has no idea this guy is a sith, nor what he looks like. His age is just a random number that doesn't mean shit. Extending it by like 50 years doesn't even change anything. Plus if you really care for a random number somebody made up for the sake of having a number remember it was never canon. I do agree he didn't need to be in this film, but it's not something to rage about Smilo didn't even say he is sith, just implied he was a dark side user. He said the Jedi would call him a sith given his appearance. This does kinda contradict episode one where they don't believe qui gon tho but it's not lore breaking. Plus I think this guy is wrong in saying the Jedi would all collectively recognize him as sith when all they've heard is there's a guy with a red lightsaber. Remember, there are still 3 more episodes for them to explain it. Complain when their done cuz it ain't gonna change anything now if you whine Armor is cortosis, very rare so you rarely see it being used ever. Jedi had no idea how to effectively deal with it since they haven't seen it in god knows how long and don't bother teaching it to their knights since they probably would never see it anyways, especially used by someone who is life threatening like another force user. I will say the way they showed it makes it too op, but considering even Darth Vader struggled a little against only a blade I think it's fine. Nothing ever stated anakin was the only thing born out of the force. Even then, in this story the sisters weren't just willed into being by the force. There was obviously dark magic shenanigans behind their creation. And I doubt tenebrous would be too interested in this, even if he knew since his thing was with science and plagueis at this point either isnt alive or hasn't got too deep into creating life yet since he was born around when this show takes place in legends. Plus the sith don't know everything in such a vast galaxy. I will say however that this was just lazy writing. If you like legends you would know retcons have to happen since most stories were written by random people in ways where they contradict each other. Some small retcons from already legends material are fine compared to the huge ones like the sequel trilogy where they just completely scratched DE and every else. Even if they went with legends everyone would complain since DE palpatine kinda just came back too lol. I will also note that most people hates palpatine coming back because of lazy writingz but there are still people out there who hate it because it's lore breaking, which it is. Truth is, legends ain't the holy Bible y'all make it out to be. If somehow you take from this that I'm a fanboy for Disney then star wars is truly dead. Not only because of Disney but also because of the shittiest "fans" I've ever seen. People who judge a book by its cover and don't even bother reading it and also others who capitalize on these people by feeding them false info on said book. You can guess who I'm referring to (I watched this vid dw) Basically, the lore ain't the thing to complain about, it's the writing. It's just people need more reasons to hate this show so they downplay everything else, like the lore aspect and the choreography which I personally think is good. Could just be my low expectations though. Last edit lel it's fine if your coming into the show with low expectations, but if you come in already hating it then you'll only notice the bad parts and hate it more. That's the problem. Not that this show is getting too much hate (infact prob not enough given Disney budget) but instead how most of the hate is just for the sake of hating. Thank you for listening to my ted talk

im sorry alan but i dont see how this show is 5/10 “average” just because people complained about something stupid like a metal that was already canon doesnt mean that everything else the show has done wrong can also be invalidated in a similar way. dialogue is clunky and contradictory. characters also are contradictory and in my and others opinions the characters emotions and how they react to what happens in the show makes no sense and the biggest example of this is the sisters constantly changing nonsensical relationship. very cool cinematic fight and using cortosis as a helmet was an awesome surprise but i dont see how you can focus on that and not notice all the other bs that this show spits out which makes a 19% on rotten tomatoes not as unfair of a rating as you tried to make it seem. everybody should rate things as they believe they should be rated and in my opinion a show you have to defend this much and constantly try to explain things that happen in the show because the show itself cant even properly convey whats going on makes me think of the show as clearly “below average” even on the disney star wars scale

It depends on the concentration actually. Cortosis was already rare, difficult to work with and very expensive. A pure cortosis blade like the one Vader encountered could short out a lightsaber, but a mere weave which was more common (but still rare) would protect a sword or armor from getting wrecked by a lightsaber blade, similar to phrik or besker. But it wouldn’t short it out. Now I doubt the Disney showrunners know that, hell they might not even call it cortosis and just make up some other word or metal. But for now we can give them the benefit of the doubt and just call it “pure cortosis” in the Acolyte show until someone from Disney opens up their mouth and displays their ignorance. That still doesn’t detract from all the other legit criticisms and downfalls this show has: bad writing, bad acting overall, terrible pacing, lore breaking retcons with Ki-Adi Mundi and Anakin being the only “Force birth” etc.

As long as it isn't whole buildings and doors made out of it. I was playing in a Star Wars game and we ran across a blast door made of the stuff that was intended to seal out Force users from the secret information within, so we tried to cut around the door, only to find out that the whole outside of the bunker was made out of it. A bit over the top, to say the least, considering that this would have been tons of the stuff, but it was made during a time when it was possible to mine that amount of it with droid mining we found out later. The solution for entry was doing a co-operative "open sardine can" check using the Force to just bend a corner of the door open so a small person could go inside and open it some more. A lightsaber might be a universal key for almost anything, but so is telekinesis, if you pull hard enough.

Some are labelled as hatemongers despite having solid criticisms, some of course are just filled with plain hate.

Oddly, the ones that criticise Lucasfilm never do that, so who is worse? And I have seen channels that come down hard on such shows as The Acolyte actually say nice things if they see them, for example the fight scenes in the most recent episode have been, if not praised, then at least complimented by people such as Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker, both of whom seem to be getting most of the flack from Lucasfilm defenders. Ok, they might criticise how the trees blocked a lot of the action from view, how dark it was making it harder to see the fight, but they still admit it was the best The Acolyte has offered so far. They do this while saying how weak the writing is, how some of the characters are badly developed, how there are plot holes that make no sense, but these are legitimate criticisms, but such things seem overlooked by the 'Defenders' who simply go on the offensive with a personal attack on the reviewers themselves.

Actually, the fact there's someone in this team whose name is not Dave Filoni but knows Legends well enough to recanonize Cortisis (probably) is rather impressing to me, didn't expect that much love for the old stuff from anyone else but Dave and Jon. However, there will still be people who think it's breaking lore, sadly. I feel like people really wanna hate The Acolyte because they expected it to be woke (wich, actually, it really isn't that much). Personally, I've seen better Star Wars storytelling and there are some parts that I don't like that much, somehow I like Osha much more than Mae who's like "I'll kill those Jedi! Or wait, no... I'll surrender to them! Or wait, no... I cut my hair to look like my sister and go with me 'cause who should know the difference? It's not like Sol was a Jedi and had a special bond with Osha." But aside from some elements that don't work that well for me personally, I think it's a really solid, interesting and fun story to watch. Every wednesday I'm excited for it and everytime an episode ends I want more. And that's saying something. And, please, of you don't like The Acolyte, that's perfectly fine, just keep it peaceful, okay? I'm so done with all that toxic hate but always open for a reasonable discussion.

*The* *Acolyte’s* *Ep.* *5* *=* *The* *Phantom* *Menace* Only the lightsaber duels saved this episode just like the Darth Maul vs. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan saved that mid movie. I was 18 when I first saw TPM, so I don’t have childhood nostalgia for it since I was already old enough to know what’s cool or not. And I was spoiled by Jackie Chan movies that year as I collected about 30 of them on VHS and I still think Jackie is the GOAT action star. Sorry, Tom Cruise. The greatest lightsaber fight happened in Revenge of the Sith as it had more emotion in it. We finally saw the Battle on Mustafar that we waited for years and that would turn Anakin truly into Darth Vader with an asthma problem, decapitated with third-degree burns. But from a technical standpoint, the Maul vs. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan was actually superior. All the Trade Federation and Droid Army crap from TPM didn’t matter to me. Or that long pod racing scene. Similar to Jet Li, Ray Park was a wushu champion. He’s a martial artist, one of TPM’s fight choreographer, and stuntman ala Jackie Chan. He knew his stuff. The coolest sequence was when we first see Obi-Wan go after Maul after Maul stabs Qui-Gon. It only lasts 10 seconds but it’s a cooler sequence than Hayden twirling the lightsaber behind his back when fighting Obi-Wan. Adam Driver did a similar move that Hayden did in The Rise of Skywalker when fighting the Knights of Ren. Based on characters, Vader would destroy his grandson in Kylo Ren. But in real life, Adam Driver could probably kick Hayden Christensen’s ass since he was an ex-Marine. Just like Ray Park can probably kick all their asses including Liam Neeson when he did Taken. Characters Vader > Maul > Smilo > Kylo In real life Ray > Adam > Hayden > Manny? I was surprised how cut Manny was in this series. Now he isn’t chiseled as say a Sly Stallone and Arnold who needs steroids to get that big, but he’s not scrawny that most of us assumed he was. I don’t get the comparisons to Ezra Miller or why he’s being called Ezra. They kinda look alike but not really. But I guess people keep calling him Ezra because of the similar haircut separated at the middle. Pacquiao who? This is the Manny we’ve been waiting for! I’ve never seen The Good Place. I first saw Manny Jacinto in Top Gun: Maverick as Fritz. He barely had any lines or scenes in it. Basically, only a background character and this was only 2 years ago. Smilo Ren (or unnamed Sith) and Sol are carrying this show. A Filipino guy and a Korean guy. Without them, this show deserves a 0% or sub-zero with the audience score. This is another attempt to make a lead female character (or characters in this case) only for her or them to be the worse part of the show. - Rey in the Sequel Trilogy. - Ahsoka in Ahsoka. Can add Sabine. - Mae and Osha in The Acolyte. Then all the complaints of other female characters like Rose, Holdo, Reva, young Leia, and so forth. Why couldn’t we just focused on Qimir/nameless Sith? Baylan and Shin carried the first part of Ahsoka prior to Thrawn’s introduction while Rosario Dawson delivered some of the most boring lines and reactions with arms crossed as if she’s high on weed. Felicity Jones got first billing in Rogue One but Jyn Erso didn’t come off annoying like Rey, Rose, Vice-Admiral Holdo, Reva, live action Ahsoka, Sabine, Hera, and these Aniseya twins all did. And many of the female characters in Andor were standouts and didn’t take anything away from how good Andor is. Mon Mothma Maarva Bix Dedra Vel Eedy The Armorer and Peli are two of my favorites from The Mandalorian, so I can enjoy female characters just as much as the males. The Acolyte is another Disney project focusing on female characters who happens to be the worst part of it. They should’ve just focused on Sol and Qimir in the first place. We don’t need all this lesbian witch coven crap. Amandla Stenberg is this year’s Brie Larson and Rachel Zegler. She’s going to be the most hated actress in Hollywood this year. She’s not making it better for herself by responding with a music video. Qimir and Sol are all people care about. Who really cares what happens to Mae and Osha? Bad acting and terrible dialogue which is worse if we know Star Wars lacks high standards for dialogue. Best lightsaber duels (live action only) 1. Anakin vs. Obi-Wan in ROTS 2. Maul vs. QGJ and OWK in TPM 3. Smilo vs. 8 Jedis? Minus all the cartoons, you can argue Smilo vs. 8 Jedis is NOT even in the top 5. What about Mace vs. Sidious, Vader vs. Obi-Wan in ANH, and Luke vs. Vader in ROTJ? Even Kylo and Rey in that throne room scene after he kills Snoke was pretty cool. Same when Kylo or Ben fights the rest of the Knights of Ren in TRoS. But from a technical standpoint, this fight, while labeled “all style no substance”, might already be up there as one of the best. Smilo turned two Jedis into a human kebob. Then how he kills Jecki was pretty sick. I kinda wish we got another episode with Jecki. But I guess this time, they weren’t afraid to kill off characters unlike Grand Inquisitor, Reva, and Sabine still being alive after a lightsaber stab wound. What if The Acolyte’s final 3 episodes kicks so much ass, where would you rank it? Would it rank over Andor or the first two seasons of The Mandalorian? I highly doubt it. Mae and Osha killed this series before it started getting good because Amandla is doing her best Rachel Zegler impression. This Night episode is considered the best of The Acolyte but I still preferred Fallen Jedi and Far, Far Away from Ahsoka more and I didn’t personally love Ahsoka as a whole. Ahsoka’s Ep. 1-3 were slow, Ep. 4-6 is when it peaked, and then a drop off by Ep. 7 and 8. I gave Ahsoka a 7.5/10 overall while The Acolyte is at a 6.5. Still worse than The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ep. 5 didn’t change anything. Ahsoka also had one of the best characters ever in Baylan Skoll. While we get Yord over here. I think they killed off Jecki way too soon. She was a badass underneath it all. I love Shin Hati but Daphne showed way more badass in Jecki than what Ivanna showed with Shin and what Natasha showed with Sabine. And yeah, better than Rosario’s slow ass moves in Ahsoka. Qimir and Jecki were the highlights of this episode. I’m still hesitant watching next week’s episode. Maybe I will wait for some spoiler-free reviews. Just say right away if Ep. 6 is better than Ep. 5. Because if it is, then I will check it out. Don’t need to make a 20-minute vid getting to that point. Watch Qimir die from a very cheap death. Girl power! The ladies wins again and so easily. While the Mission Impossible movies have added so many females, but it doesn’t act WOKE like The Acolyte does by weakening the male character for the female character to triumph over him. Tyrone Magnus is questioning if this Episode 5 was a FLUKE or not? Because if it is, then things will not get better from here. If this the peak episode for The Acolyte, then the show is in trouble. Remember, we’ve been spoiled by recent episodes from The Boys and House of the Dragon which were very good. No bad acting or clunky af dialogue. We better hope the quality keeps improving. Similar to House of the Dragon, many of these Jedis during the High Republic are not battle experienced. They’re kinda soft and weak asses. But I was surprised how well Jecki could fight. When I first saw her fight Mae, I was like, I see you, girl! You go, girl in Martin Lawrence’s 90s voice. I think killing her off was too soon because I think she’s more skilled and quicker than Sol. Jecki was the Jedi’s best chance at killing Qimir. She moved better than the amateurish hits from Shin Hati attacking Ahsoka. But I guess that’s what Mae or Osha are for and they finally killed some characters unlike bringing them back after every stab wound. Expect another Rey beating Kylo TFA scene. Girl power, right Kathleen? More untrained women winning over highly trained male characters. That’s the landing I don’t want to see from The Acolyte but it’s the one I expect to see. Cheap death to the no-namer Sith. The Boys S4 Ep. 4: 8.8 House of the Dragon S2 Ep. 2: 9.0 The Acolyte Ep. 5: 7.8 (Manny saved it) Best Episodes The Mandalorian S1 Ep. 8 Redemption The Mandalorian S2 Ep. 8 The Rescue The Book of the Boba Fett Ep. 6 From the Desert Comes a Stranger Obi-Wan Kenobi Ep. 5 Part V (or maybe III) Andor Ep. 10 One Way Out The Mandalorian S3 Ep. 7 The Spies Ahsoka Ep. 6 Far, Far Away The Acolyte Ep. 5 Night Let’s hope The Acolyte did not fluke and Ep. 5 isn’t the only passable episode because those other episodes from the other SW series are B+ to A quality and The Book of the Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi are not considered good. While this Night episode is only a C+ to B- and that’s being fairly forgiving because Mae and Osha are trash characters we shouldn’t care about like we didn’t for Rey and Reva. The Acolyte needs to get better after this but I’m not sure it will. Manny’s character might be everyone’s new favorite but he’s not a character people are going to run out and buy his action figure. He still lacks the intimidating presence of Homelander and charisma of Daemon Targaryen. The Acolyte might only be remembered for being so bad and igniting this culture war between grifters vs. shills where the grifters rely on fake outrage for views.

But the show is still garbage and most people were confused by the lightsabers going off as the show never tried explaining what cortosis was... I had to go thru a youtube video to get an explanation... The fight scenes looked good cause of all the effects and choreography but they also didn't make sense much like the garbage fast and furious actions sequences.

This and an Eckhartsladder vid are the only ones I've clicked. Mostly because I trust your opinions. Most people should probably know of cortosis from KoToR 1 and 2. I think Star Wars needed a higher density of "sith assassin" type figures utilizing unconventional materials and techniques designed to kill Jedi. The presence of a few more lines like HK47 talking about explosives, poisons, targeting allies. Not to even mention Atton Rand and his description of all the particulars that go into countering the powers Jedi grow complacent relying on. The foibles of Jedi ego and nonsensitives taking them down a notch has always been a thing I liked seeing. I don't really have any interest in the Acolyte, but I felt like I should probably know if it was a dumpster fire.🎉

Keep fighting the good fight GT. I have been a star wars fan since the 80s, was in high school fir the prequel trilogy. I like to think I'm somewhat up to speed in things, but I never followed any of the literature. Thats why I LOVE your channel, like the new star wars shows that "fill in the gaps", you fill in my knowledge gaps with this IP. In regards to the Acolyte, it's definitely not a 13% show, and depending on how it finishes...could be a solid 60% show. On a 2nd note, thank you for the nod to miners and their under appreciation. My father was a coal miner for 27 years.

The hyper polarized stuff I try my damnedest to ignore, because odds are they're just hopping on the bandwagon. I like it, it's engaging me better than Andor did. Andor was such a slow burn I could barely make it through the second episode when it first dropped. Then clips from later episodes starting showing up. Want these more grifty channels to die out? Just don't engage, if you want to watch a bit or scout out their channel, do so in incognito mode or on another profile to not taint your own. About 15 years ago, I remember there was a chrome extension that would literally remove videos from certain channels that would show up in your feed, and did so in a way like it wasn't even there.

Dafne Keen and Manny Jacinto saw this episode and they decided, "This is mine now." I always expected a scene like this from Jecki Lon, though I was hoping it would come in episode 7 or 8, not episode 5, rest in peace. When it comes to Qimir...I suspected I was dumb for doubting Manny Jacinto's ability to portray a convincing and terrifying Sith lord, and I've never been more right about myself. Though, it sounds like he's not an Official Sith^tm. Still putting my money on Master Sol as the truth Sith of the series.

Cortosis is also one of the attachments you can get for your armor and certain melee weapons in the FFG/Edge RPG (Edge of the empire, et all). Just another thing that normies complain about is some "new" canon breaking thing that anyone even slightly into the extra stuff knows about. And even if it was brand new... who cares!? New means new content. New lore means new stuff to incorporate. Everything was new to the canon once. A TON of new stuff was introduced into the lore with Empire Strikes Back, including a bunch of new force powers, and no one complained (well, some people did, but most didn't), and it's considered the best of the movies. So yeah, new, old canon reintroduced, who cares if it's fun. And this was a fun episode.

Haters just need to let people enjoy the franchise they like without making them feel terrible for it. Like, yeah, we understand there are issues with the plot and the lore, but goddammit, at least we are getting Star Wars content. I can remember drought of content after the sequels for a couple of years and how much that sucked. It's completely fair to criticize the flaws in all of the shows but at least show some appreciation and praise for the people who are part of making the shows and the good parts of them.

I will acknowledge the good parts of the show, but if the show is bad and boring, I'm calling it out. If you have a budget with millions of dollars, it shouldn't be competing with Book of Boba Fett or Kenobi for the worst Star Wars show. As Deedra said in Andor, 'The very worst thing you can do right now is bore me.'

Back in the pre-Disney days they went back and forth a lot on how effective Cortosis was against a lightsabre... or in general. I may be wrong, but the first time it came up was the Hand of Thrawn duology (or I, Jedi - I forget which way round those were written) and Mara Jade explains to Luke that while the ore shuts down a lightsabre blade on contact if the lightsabre uses a certain type of circuit anywhere in its construction (implying that almost every lightsabre in history needed that circuit in there somewhere) it is essentially useless against anything else. The original Clone Wars multimedia project depicted refined cortosis as an insanely dense superconductor - so good at resisting energy weapons that it was used to make starship armour way back before deflector shields were a thing. After a while it seemed to settle down to "in ore form it'll shut your lightsabre off, as an alloy it'll just block it" especially in KotOR when almost every melee weapon and suit of armour used a cortosis weave so lightsabres weren't insta-kill-bats, and what you were saying about mining it being like working with asbestos, only taken up to thirteen, if memory serves, that was introduced in the Darth Bane novels... or at least that's the earliest reference I have for how dangerous it was to mine it.
