[ He's personally of opinion that purple is the best lightsaber color as well. He He does a couple slow flicks of the blade, the plasma humming. ]
Yep, plasma blade. Cuts through almost anything. There's a rare metal called Beskar, strongest known metal, also a hundred percent lightsaber proof.
As for the shape, there's a few things that help it, first is the emitter...
[ He clicks the blade off and points out slot on the end where the plasma physically exits the hilt. ]
The internals are the most important part though. There are stabilizers and energy modulators that essentially puts the energy emitted from the kyber core under a gyroscopic pressure and gives it a very specific spin. Basically, it's not a single beam being emitted, it's a loop that shoots out and turns back in on itself, but it's so tight it ends up looking like a solid blade.
[ He is so happy he can info dump lightsaber stuff to someone who's eyes are NOT glazing over. ]
