[Starwars] I've used knifes and vibroblades and managed to not cut my hands off. As soon as I talk about getting a light saber everyone talks like I'm going to disembowel myself. What gives?

Edit: yeah I'm not going to try any of that mystic blocking blaster fire. I just want something I can pull out if my pocket if a couple of tradoshians with deathsticks try to forcibly evict my small intestine. How much gyroscopic force do they really have though?

Lightsabers are much harder to handle than bladed weapons mostly because they don't balance in the way that bladed weapons do.  For a blade weapon, the appropriate balance point is just above the hilt.  However, for a lightsaber, the blade is practically weightless, meaning that you can't swing it the same way you would a bladed weapon.  If you do, you are likely going to overdo it and the blade is going to go much farther than you anticipated due to its lack of weight and bizarre balance point that is in the middle of the hilt now.
