Breaking it'll be harder than you expect, and will require explosive motion available to mammalian leg muscles but not to the actuators the Empire used in those leg mechanisms.
Possibly, but as long as I don't stand with my legs together I suspect I'll just be able to step out of it once they have finished. If I keep moving while they are running around me I suspect I'll be snapping a few strands at a time and they'll be dizzy and puking long before they have enough turns round me to make me fall down :)

I love the films, I love the setting and the stories, but I get less and less forgiving of the storytelling.
