    Star wars fans, please explain this to me

    I was just watching star wars and I noticed something that I haven't been able to explain to myself.

    The jedis have total control over their light sabres and can turn them on and off at will.

    This means that even while they are fighting they can turn them on an off at will.

    So let's say Jedi 1 attacks Jedi 2. Jedi 1 swings and Jedi 2 parries as their light sabres strike.

    With real swords made of steel you can parry that way with the swords striking. However, if a Jedi can turn off his saber and on at any time, All that the attacker has to do is strike with an ON saber, and when the attacked tries to parry, he turns off his saber, the swing gets past the defender's saber and then turn it back on cutting him in half after the parry.

    That's what I don't understand?

                      You want a fictional movie that involves fictional light swords explained to you? Here's your explanation: it's a movie! You're supposed to suspend disbelief for 2 hours and enjoy yourself. Otherwise you'll find huge holes and inconsistencies with everything you watch.

                              You cant just turn them on and off at will,,, you actually have to push a switch,,, so the handle would have to be in prime spot at that time

                                  what switch? what spot? it's in his hand, it makes no difference where it is in the air.

                                  that makes no sense

                                      yea i'm just curious what the explanation is behind it, usually such glaring holes have explanations in the storyline that make the believable

                                                      they dont turn on and off instantly. they have to turn off completely before they come back on. so in the time it would take to turn off, the other guy would have an open shot

                                                                                                                                                                                      The jedis have total control over their light sabres and can turn them on and off at will.

                                                                                                                                                                                      This means that even while they are fighting they can turn them on an off at will.

                                                                                                                                                                                      So let's say Jedi 1 attacks Jedi 2. Jedi 1 swings and Jedi 2 parries as their light sabres strike.

                                                                                                                                                                                      With real swords made of steel you can parry that way with the swords striking. However, if a Jedi can turn off his saber and on at any time, All that the attacker has to do is strike with an ON saber, and when the attacked tries to parry, he turns off his saber, the swing gets past the defender's saber and then turn it back on cutting him in half after the parry.

                                                                                                                                                                                      That's what I don't understand?
