I would think Thing would have more difficulty wielding a sword than a lightsaber
But could Cousin Itt handle a lightsaber without self-immolation?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But could Cousin Itt handle a lightsaber without self-immolation?
Heh. No, unless he (she? it?) used the Force to keep the hair away from the lightsaber.

msbelle, does this skirt make me look fat?
Rapiers and balance -- a conclusion in the article is that the balance is where it is for a reason -- I wonder how the feel of fighting with just a hilt (i.e. lightsaber) affects the battle? I know momentum is useful in your swing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Force gives you all the momentum you need.

I bet the dark side has more.

Not to spoil you or anything, but the Jedi do return.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
"Give in to the conservation of momentum, Luke!"
Doesn't quite have the same ring.
