RotS is probably most stupid and least realistic lightsabres ever looked IMO.

I'll have to agree with you - however, I'm not talking about the sabers themselves. Just the glow they cast from behind the actors, which IS in fact realistic.

compare these photos

Notice how the glow of the backlight bleeds over the edges?

Now, look at this random screengrab from RotS (Sorry for low quality)

 See how the bleed of the glow behind Anakin has a similar look to the actual photograph? That's what it really looks like when a light source is cast from behind an object.
