[Star Wars] When Jedi swing a light Saber around, why does the Saber always swing as if there is mass to the light beam, causing the centrifugal force to be focused solely on the center of the beam and not the handle?

The trick with a saber blade is that it doesn't completely lack mass/resistance, because it is not just a laser beam or a shaft of light. The saber beam is basically a plasma chainsaw, flowing in a very tight, very fast arc from the emitter out to the tip and back again, which appears to be just a solid bar to the naked eye. This momentum has an impact on the balance/feel of the saber in operation.
