a lightsaber-resistant metal.

ugh

My sentiments exactly. I'm a huge fan of the Knights of the Old Republic games which, being an RPG, had to allow characters to defend themselves against Lightsabers rather than having an instant death, so introduced the concept of 'Cortosis' vibroblades and armour. It served as an in-game explanation for why your opponents weren't falling in half, but it's still dumb and has no place in the movies.

Different strokes for different folks. Frankly, I'm not keen on the idea that the lightsaber is some omnipotent weapon that can cut through everything in existence.

Oh, and JFTR, lightsaber-resistant materials in the EU predate KOTOR by many, many years.
