I would like to see all sabers look like they do in the closeups from OOT ESB (where the blades look fairly skinny). There shouldn't be a perfcetly defined white core surrounded by a perfectly defined colored corona. It doesn't look natural. Oh, & the tip should not come to such a defined point as it did in ROTS. Remember, this is flowing energy.
because photons of light only travel up to 1 meter and they are actually concentrated enough so that the photons have a physical form that we can look at without blinding ourselves.and that can deflect solid objects.
