Does a lightsaber weigh anything? *TFA SPOILERS*

I started thinking because I can't sleep. The blade, I mean, the hilt obviously has to weigh something. Cause it's in the name, right? [u]Light[/u]-saber. Light doesn't weigh anything(or its mass is so little that it really doesn't matter). Then I remembered hearing that the blade is superheated plasma or something, does that have a significant weight to it? I see Obi-Wan and Anakin fight in episode 3 and they move so fast I assume their weapons are weightless. Now Kylo Ren fights Rey in TFA, his swings look pretty heavy. Or at least it looks like he puts a little power behind them. [i]And then[/i] I remember hearing that the blades weren't entirely special effects in the movie. They were physical and lit up about as bright as they are on-screen, on set. So maybe his swings look that way because the [i]prop[/i] is heavy-ish? Someone help.

  • Well apparently now lightsabers are weak af, if they should weigh anything then it'd be incredibly tiny -just the blade itself - kylo ren was in the perfect place to cut Finn in half and yet it only left him unconscious, rey was the perfect close range to slice rens head off and yet if only left him with a scar...
