[Star Wars] Is there a reason the Jedi and the Sith don't use blasters beyond them being 'so uncivilised'?

Also, as a follow-up, is it ever explained *why* the Jedi (or Obi-Wan in particular) find blasters uncivilised?

A Jedi favors a lightsaber because in the hands of a skilled user it's an excellent weapon for defensive or less-lethal purposes-- it can be used to block blaster fire, destroy a weapon, or relatively bloodlessly remove an attacker's limb rather than killing them.

The Sith use lightsabers both so they can kill an opponent face-to-face and to prove themselves stronger than the Jedi.
