Spooky always looses on the saber to alderan because luek and his people have used the saber for liek a billion . The exetr fellow was the only knon race of life outside this known galaxy 3 billion years ago , he is the way back home to the Viking type galaxy he is on the border and when Viking is home SOON the border is closed by exetr forvere . Yay and YEs we can talk to exetr with 4 D math but the ghoulies do suck , they even bother you when someone is using 4 d illegally in your neighbourhood where you reside , HEY GHOULIES GO AWAY ! Just tell em that , stupid guys trying to build illegal tech , sometimes GOd and Lucifer work hand in hand as god is busy he used lucifer to warn YOU not to fool around with the law and white light !

Not sure, but you can't have physical resistance using light, like during Luke Skywalker's duel with Darth Vader, because light radiation isn't dense enough. Maybe through some sort of "magic" you could concentrate an immense amount of energy into a one spot, enough to provide physical resistance.

Easy. It's a plasma generated within a shaped magnetic field. This could be structured by manipulation of the magnetic field, or by a physical structure that could withstand the heat of the plasma extended like a chain of small solarsails into the plasma. So easy, a jedi could do it.

Well perhaps not a light saber persay, however there is a way to create a sabre that would cut through ANYTHING like a hot knife through butter. And it's realistic as well, probably within our lifetime.
If we could figure out a way to take a single molecule and stretch it vertically maybe 6 inches, fastened to an electromagnetic ball that would keep in place, this would provide the sharpest thing known to man.
It would slice through Titantium and mountains with ease. The technology behind such a thing lies in Nanotechnology.
And then find a way to pump plasma or something make it a little wider, then voila!

Yes because traditional sabres and swords use the same concept. The lower the amount of molecules on the edges, the sharper the edge is.
When you sharpen a blade what are you doing? You are shaving molecules off the end in order to make it thinner, therefore slicing better.
it's the same concept, if you had only 1 molecule stretched out, it would extremely sharp.

the way a "light saber" was envisioned to work when the Star Wars sagas were first created, has nothingn to do with light.
this is how a light saber works.
there is spool of wire in the handle, a force field is generated through the wire, which causes it to extend the wire from the handle.
the force field does the cutting and gives the blade its support.
