Not meaning to lead the current discussion off on a tangent, but seeing all those sparks reminded me of another scene and I just wanted to quickly ask if anyone else thinks this is a good idea:

I think whoever created that had the right idea of adding some sparks there.
Sorry but,
"like a bat hitting a metal grating" = what a lightsaber sounds like.
The above clip ruins Burtt's beautiful sound design. Also for that matter...
"hitting a radio tower mooring cable with a spanner" = what a lightsaber sounds like.
"driving a heated piece of metal into a block of ice" = what a lightsaber sounds like.
