There, I finally talked about lightsabers / laser swords / plasma blades etc. Are you happy now? :)

So these are just some meanderings about how an actual lightsaber would handle if it could be made (and didn't produce lethal heat or radiation), and what some potential safety risks might be.

Any "it's just a movie" comments will be shot down because they are utterly pointless. Of course science-fiction is just for entertainment, and so is this video. Nothing to get agitated about. ;)
