Star Wars confirms why lightsaber users don’t get burned by their own weapon

There’s no question that the lightsaber is one of the most iconic and powerful wielded weapons in cinematic history and let’s be honest, we’ve all had imaginary lightsaber battles at some point in our lives, right?

We were first introduced to the lightsaber in the 1977 movie,Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. From the moment we saw Obi-Wan Kenobi train a young Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force, wielding a real-life lightsaber has been a dream of every Star Wars fan (just likeEwan McGregor and Liam Neeson).

Granted, for obvious reasons, we’ll never get a chance to wield a real lightsaber because they don’t actually exist and I’m not talking about afancy replica. Yet, if we did own a real lightsaber, there’s every chance we’d accidentally chop off a limb or at the very least, the plasma beam will likely burn our face.
