It is in the movie to have a lightsabre fight, because that’s a popular thing in Star Wars, it’s there for a completely out-of-movie reason. However, the film’s internal logic doesn’t require Jedi to have lightsabres (which may be the number one reason why Kylo could easily wipe out Luke’s academy). Since there is an external reason to have a lightsabre, it is in the movie and the characters have to react to it, so they use it.
