Lightsabers are stupid period. Even if they make you unbeatable against normal blasters, I can just make blasters with three muzzles in an equilateral triangle (that fire at the same time). Impossible to block all three shots. Or for shorter distances, anything with spray. Swords just aren't a good weapon and an even worse defense, even magic space swords.

What if I told you that they don’t use lightsabers because they’re good.
