I seem to recall Thing swordfighting with Gomez Addams. But it could just be my mind having fun, as it occasionally does. Still, if Thing did do the swordfighting, I guess it could wield a lightsaber, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's for everyone's own good. I know best.
Judge me and the petrol people if you need. But back off Dr. Marc. He is the nicest person I've ever known. So I will smite on his behalf.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I would think Thing would have more difficulty wielding a sword than a lightsaber, as the center of gravity of the sword is away from the handle, resulting in Thing sometimes tipping over.

Not always. Some swords have their fulcrums near the hilt. What sort of sword? Where do epees balance? Rapiers?

I am completely fascinated by the teeny apartments.

Ann, that's a ferret.

But could Cousin Itt handle a lightsaber without self-immolation?

Marc would almost have Nilly feeling she's a bit mean, but not quite -- because that wouldn't be nice.
He's that good. And he tackles the messy stuff too. No avoiding touchy subjects for him.

If I only had a brain...
Fencing foils balance about eight inches forward of the hilt, I think. (Fencers? Where are you?)
