PaybackI always thought the aperatures were made of plasma-resistant material since they're in contact with the main blade, that had some reason, too rare or some thermal issue that stopped people from making their entire saber out of it.
Besides, you would think a Sith Lord could twist his hand so that the Jedi's blade hit the plasma before it touched the aperture. Plus, the "hilt blades" come into play whenever you have that trope where the dualists lock blades and push together, allowing use as a weapon.
newtboyI was thinking it was more like a super powerful version of this....

That removes all the need for lightsaber-proof material to make one, and explains how the length and shape are created.
I must admit, I have not looked deep into Star Wars lore to see what their explanation is.

rex84says...Spoiler alert. It's not a new blade design. It's a REALLY old one.
Chaucersays...Thats obvious by the way the plasma isnt focusing properly.

ReverendTedMenage a sabre? Feast for sabre?
I believe you mean Sabrage a trois, Stephen.
...even though that's still incorrect.
00Scud00jokingly says...You people just have to go and ruin everything with science don't you? Next you'll tell me that immortals aren't really immortal humans but aliens from another planet.
It's not magic, it's Midi-chlorians!

SagemindSometimes, you don't have to care how things in fiction work, just enjoy the awesome. Some of us have using our imagination since before Sci-fi was served to the general public. Besides that why do we have to use our archaic science to describe an advanced technology we don't yet have or understand?
Sheesh!
