Light saber fights

I had collected some urls of light saber fights on youtube, but I can't find what I did with em, so if you wanna get in the mood for this post, go to youtube.com and search "light saber fight not France" and you will prolly see the same collection of awesomeness I saw.

Everyone knows that a real Jedi, and maybe even some not totally up to par Jedi's, are able to move things with the power of their mind. All Jedi's get their light saber knocked out of their hands from time to time and usually it goes flying way across the room. For a Jedi, no problem, they use the power of the force and it comes flying back to them.

A few things I don't get about light sabers. I don't understand how the saber part, that is made out of lights, knows to be a certain height? I am sure even in the Jedi world, length is important. It would be too embarrassing if you build a light saber and it turned out to be shorter than all the other Jedi's light sabers. I wouldn't even know how a Jedi would explain it. I picture at light saber practice, the new Jedi turns on his light saber along with all the other Jedis, the practice hall gets really quiet, everyone looks at the new Jedi with the short light saber. Then he shuts his saber off, grabs his stuff, and heads for some remote jungle planet to live out his shame alone for the rest of his life. Even the force isn't gonna help a Jedi recover from that kind of embarrassment.

I also don't understand why, everytime a light saber is dropped, it shuts off? I never noticed the Jedis making sure the tether was hooked up, so if they drop it, it automatically shuts off. Besides, safety tethers don't spell out intimidation. They just don't. Maybe light sabers don't take a jolt well?

I also don't understand why a light saber has an on switch. The same Jedi that can use the power of the force to recover the light saber knocked from his hand can't use the force to turn the saber on and off? That seems like the first rule of Jedi safety. "make sure the switch is on the inside so only Jedis can turn it off and on, that way you don't get jacked by some random asswipe who grabs your light saber when you aren't looking."

And regarding the off and on switch...If I was a Jedi locked in ultimate light saber combat (no, there is almost no way to make that sound more gay) I would not wait to use the power of the force to recover my dropped light saber. Nor would I use the power of the force to try and drop something really heavy on my opponents head, or to throw large heavy objects at him. He of course has these same abilities and will block all this stuff. Seeing my foe, I would start to charge from across the x-wing hanger bay. My foe, in an obvious frenzied bloodlust, would turn his light saber on and and begin searching the hanger bay for something huge to lob at me by using the force while scraping his light saber on stuff so it makes that shocking menacing sound and sparks. I would continue to charge him, using the force to make his special Jedi underpants too small and tight, also way too hot. My foe, not realizing this was possible by using the force, would quit scanning the hanger bay, and would pretty much take his eyes off me, his mind changing from ultimate doom to saving his precious, now squeezed and burning, Jedi jewels from utter destruction. Realizing at the last second that I am almost within striking distance, he would pull himself together, despite the horrendous pain, and swing his saber at me. Unflinching, I would use the power of the force to turn his light saber off, and turn mine on, in one easy easy, unblocked swing, I would cut my opponent in half, his last words would be thank you because dying is sweet sweet relief, both in general but especially to his now haggard and burning Jedi sack.
