[Star Wars] Would it be feasible for someone using a double-bladed lightsaber to wear beskar gauntlets (or phrik or cortosis, or any other lightsaber-resistant material) to grab the blade and swing it?

The advantage of staff weapons is supposed to be the reach and the fact that you can effectively grab any part of the weapon safely. 

This isn't the case with double-bladed lightsabers, as the hilt in the center leaves you with no more range than a regular lightsaber. In fact, it seems like it would actually restrict your movements as a lot of normally comfortable ways to hold a normal lightsaber would leave you skewering yourself with one end of a double-bladed.

 Could lightsaber-proof gauntlets mitigate this?

No, for various reasons.

Beskar will melt. It can withstand *hits* of a lightsaber, but sustained contact will eventually reach its melting point.

Cortosis actually interferes with lightsabers on contact, so that one would just short out the blade.

Phrik is near indestructible (a container of it survived the Alderran/Death Star incident), *but* it's not going to protect the hand *inside* the gauntlet from the enormous heat it'll be absorbing. Your hand will combust inside the still-functioning gauntlet if you try and actually *hold* the blade. Anything more than brief contact is going to burn you.
