Silly thought

One of the fundamental problems with Star Wars is the term "light sabre". It's a total misnomer, it's not a sabre! Sabres are slightly curved. Lightsabres are not. They should be just called "glow sticks" or something. A glow stick duel sounds much less hostile, doesn't it. Would have much less disturbance on the harmony of the universe.

But it would be pretty weird if light sabres were curved, wouldn't it? Especially if you took it to the extreme, like some sort of light-sabre impotence. Some jedi with his floppy light sabre, saying "This never happens to me, I swear!"
