Still wouldn't you expect at least a bit of blue flame when you blast the rock off the main astroid?

methane is a common compound found in many extraterrestrial icy environments, such as comets and icy moons. Its the most common organic compound, as its the simplest. It can either occur as a pure frozen species, or more commonly bound within water ice as methane hydrates. The largest concentrations of methane gas on Earth are in methane hydrate deposits under the Arctic permafrost, where the temperature and pressure keep them in equilibrium.


They're not just farts

it could be possible - it would be frozen solid, so you could break off chunks. no oxygen, so it wouldnt be in a combustible environment. Granted if there were water ice in the mix the blaster might seperate out some hydrogen and oxygen to burn, but all in all its not outside the realm of possibility.At the very least as possible as everything else in Star wars

Methane whether is comes from a persons rear end or an astroid. Still burns blue when burned with oxygen.


Sheesh you remind me of my granpa...the grumpy ol' fa...er..never mind...
