Having a hilt sword myself, I can honestly say that dude has fake hands. I've cut my wrist twice while learning how to carry and properly swing one. Probably a fake arm too. Like I'm sure he's great with that sword now, but serious, his whole right arm is gone. Also, what's the point of having different variants of swords if no one wears armor resistant to said weapon? The reason swords got bigger in our history was due to the increase of armor. The more armor you had, the more force you needed to cut the joints. I could understand making one lighter and faster (if that's possible), but making it heavier and extremely dangerous to yourself seems rather idiotic. And if the sword's hilt were made of a material resistant to light sabers, why not make the whole thing a hell of a lot less dangerous and just make the hilt totally said material.

TL;DR - Sword was designed poorly.

You mean to tell me, you spent an ungodly amount of time simply building a giant tree in minecraft to burn it, just to make this joke?
