[Star Wars] What are the possible uses for a lightsaber scabbard?

Inspired by episode 1 of Star Wars: Visions.

A lightsaber is already a sword with a retractable, nonphysical blade, so what possible uses would a scabbard (designed to protect a physical blade from rust and damage) serve for a lightsaber?

I could very well see it being useful as a non-lethal weapon in itself. Basically, assuming the connection between hilt and scabbard is secure, you have what is essentially a kendo sword. If a Jedi or Sith want to make a statement or put some hurting on someone without just killing them or wounding them with the blade, hitting them with that scabbard is going to *hurt* without doing too much damage.
