[Star Wars] What are the advantages of having a curved lightsaber hilt?
gpt
It's reasonable to assume that a curved hilt offers the same advantages to a lightsaber user as it does to someone using a curved hilt sword in our world, namely greater leverage - to crib an answer from elsewhere: "On a slim single handed sword a curved handle offers leverage to the bottom two fingers and allows force to be added simply by tightening your grip a moment before impact, it also allows for a quick change in direction with a minimal movement. On a heftier two handed blade a curved handle creates a lever with a pivot point, so rather than actually swinging the sword a person can simply pull their bottom hand back and the sword will be able to generate motion and force. It allows for unpredictable attacks and unusual movements during attacks."

As a lightsaber can be wielded one or two-handed, both aspects apply.
