Some weapons inflict for example 1-10 damage physical
Where stands the 1 for and where the 10?
And what's better then? 2-24
or 3- 12?
Damage inflicting
1-10 is the range of damage that can be done by the weapon. So, if you get a hit, the damage will be randomly choosen between those two bounds.
So 3-7 is better than 1-8 as 5 average damage is better than 4.5. But 2-24 is much better than 3-12 (average of 13 as compared to 7.5).
Note that the type of damage is important and can stack. For example 2-8 physical, 1-4 ion, means that damage for both types will be independantly randomly choosen and then combined. (Ion is particularly good against droids and shields)

"We were hoping we could bring the Xbox platform into December but didn't want to make the formal announcement until we knew an earlier ship date would not compromise the quality of The Sith Lords," says Producer Mike Gallo.

As W666 said, 1 is the minimium it will do, 10 the highest

I'll take the 2-24. You have 23 different 'rolls' (count from 2 to 24) of the dice compared to the 9 of a 3-12.
You got to go back to the RPG paper game basics with the damage. A 2-24 weapon will be rolled on a 24 sided dice, a 1 is a miss or re-roll depending on who runs the game. So the maximum damage per hit is 24. Moving on to the 3-12.... your now rolling a 12 sided dice. Max damage is 12.
Best way I always thought of it was look at the max it will do.
Clear as mud?
