In the new espisodes (I and II), you see the Jedi twirl their lightsabers all the time. A prime example of this is at time 1:54:10 in AOTC (I just watched it). However, if you think about the physics of a lightsaber, this is impossible (It's actually explained in a Star Wars encyclopedia). It's simple physics really. A LIGHTsaber's blade is made of light. Light has no mass, and therefore has no weight. Therefore, it's impossible to do that really cool looking twirl thing with a lightsaber because the only part of it with any mass is the handle. Go figure that one out...



It's the Force man, the Force!!!
