[Star Wars movies] When lightsaber fighting, shouldn't Jedi use jabbing fencing thrusts rather than broadsword swinging motions, especially when fighting other Jedi or non-mechanized humanoid creatures?

Thrusts are certainly faster than swings when it comes to a physical blade, but the same can't be said for a lightsaber. The main drawback for a physical swing is the recovery of the blade, as momentum carries it away. The blade of a lightsaber, however, doesn't weigh anything, and as such you can swing to your heart's content without sacrificing too many options.

The nature of a lightsaber makes tactics that would be inadvisable with a real blade very useful with the saber instead.
