Just because it's called a lightsaber doesn't mean that the blade is
only light.  From "pure energy" you have your pick of bosons.  I prefer
mesons because they cavort between matter and energy depending on
whether they're shot or trapped.  And it's easy to make them into high
EM yields when geons aren't available.  The blade is lossless because
it regenerates the energy in a stasis field.  For electromagnetic
beams, a 3-D fotonic crustal (You may search for one in Google or
/Discover/ magazine under a different, wrong spelling.) is used to trap
light indefinitely when not in use.  However, visible broadband
crustals--or "jewels" as called in the other universe--won't be
invented for a decade.  And the electrocolor beams must be made from
nuclear crustals to be self-sustaining.  After the
strangeonium-neutronium alloy factories are built on the sun, such
second-heavenly mineral is shot to Earth with every flare in cathodic
tungsten shells.  The mineral will come as clear floating beads
sparklier than moissanite and denser than the Sun's heart.  To use in a
regenerating weapon, such beads must be charged by immersion into the
handle's nuclear battery.  As the beads are already hardy electrets,
the handle's superconductive steering coils can draw a blade of any
size by diamagnetostatic-Lenz suspension.  The light coming off the
blade should not be thought to be coming from the beam.  Because the
manufacturing tolerances of a solar-sited factory can go as far as the
weather lets through, sample populations of crustals will exhibit
open-order Fresnel-Mie retroreflective critical dimensions amplifying
ambient radiation hundreds of times more efficiently than 3M's
Scotchlite.  Most of the Shechinah-like glory comes from the outer
regenerative suspension beam--the one that comes in contact with
targets--focused at diffractive wavelengths to make the brightest
fringes, or halos as some cultists say; but as this is extremely
distracting to the wielder and the audience when the blade is
disrupted, the flashes may be removed in post-production or wholly by
turning down the outer beam at the expense of regenerative efficiency
and more power draw from the battery.  The blade cuts when the
suspension is disrupted: the target-actor critically jostling the
mesonic crustals forces reactive electrocoloral bremsstrahlung into the
actor, shielding the wielder from stray radiation in swings and
strikes.  The output should be many slow mesons that chaotically
transmute the target's atoms, having the indirect effects of cutting by
structural autoionization, and paralusis by transubstantiating
electrolutic pathways into diaelectric mush.  In other words, the
weapon is a very efficient, high-bandwidth signalling device not unlike
a pulsar.
