Let's fuck some shit up
^ Admittedly, the reason why some vibroblades can stop light sabers is an obscure bit of technical jargon they'd have to spend a good three lines of dialogue explaining. Why add more dialogue when you can just have an evil-looking badass sword? While I like some of the more heavy techno-jargon ramblings of Trek, Star Wars does a good job skipping that stuff and going straight for the unexplainable technology the audience just swallows as being factually possible. Besides, Wars isn't about technology, it's about the mystical universe they live in. The dark saber is perfect for that.
Ugh... Abrams is going to have a field day with the "Star Wars mythos".
