I literally cannot believe I am watching a discussion about why a lightsaber weapon in RWBY is illogical and impractical. Star Wars functions on COMPLETELY DIFFERENT laws of science. I don't care what tiny things you try pointing out that are the same or slightly similar. Yes, 2 + 2 still equals 4. But the Force is not the same as Aura, and in case you forgot from all the lore, the Force is an integral part of how lightsabers are contructed. It's universe-specific science that allows the lightsabers to exist. And then there is all the stuff Phantom pointed out. Star Wars isn't the only series to have weapons that only function due to its own unique rules, and it won't be the last.

Honestly, what the guys at RT should do is have a brief clip at some point showing guys at a R&D factory trying to develop a "light saber", and then have it violently explode the moment someone tries to use it. Just to shut up all the people trying to port over impractical weapons.
