Um, lightsaber armor is impractical but lightsabers themselves are A-Okay?
Well, I imagine holding your sword would be a bit difficult, and touching anything would be a problem... and I'm pretty sure falling through the planet's crust to the core would be a bit impractical too.

Paint them red (Cuz red makes them go fastah), Make them shoot even more missiles, add a hundred rockets, make it a nuclear weapon, shoot it out of the most powerful cannon in the world, make them make that high-pitched noise, and emblazon them with Kamina's glasses.

Rockets don't require focus.
Also, new idea: lightsaber missile that shoots smaller lightsaber rockets that explode into lightcaltrops.
They would be fired en mass. It's a Macross Missile Massacre that Macross Missile Massacres and then explodes into a ton of shrapnel.

My brother and I once played around with imaginary lightsaber gloves. It seemed okay, then I managed to wound him, so he grabbed his wound, which is an efficient amputation.
It would be an entertaining boxing match.

Yes, that. Blasters got deflected by stuff, but lightsabers didn't so obviously the lightsaber isn't as unstable, so sniper rifle with burrowing lightsaber bullets.
What do you mean? Lightsabers got deflected by other lightsabers all the time.

......you know what I find hilarious about the internet? I can suggest something perfectly reasonable, possibly innovative and sensible in comparison to lightsabers.....
and a page later, we end up with this nonsense. Its like....
Anti-Science. instead of progressing forward towards more refined efficient ideas we go backwards into chaos as people impulsively parody awesomeness to the point of staleness and antiquity.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but what they are parodying is not awesomeness. That's kind of the point.

I was so disappointed to find out it was just a laser. Like, so very disappointed. For a moment there, a very brief moment, I thought we were soon to have lightsabers, like in those Starwars movies with which I fell in love.*
As for the topic of lightsaber variants and not the Internet being silly, I don't know enough about tonfa fighting to say Ms. Brood's lightsabers are not a good, but I am pretty sure it is so, and am pretty sure she'd be a lot better off with a pair of regular lightsabers. That reminds me, shouldn't Jedi duel-wield? Why don't they? Too expensive?
Also, why no light-knives? Lightsabers do negate many of the benefits of knives (small and concealable), but come on, lightwhips. We're clearly not being practical at this point, so why not knives? At least they have some realistic application. Here's my idea: a lightflail. It would be downright silly, but come on: A lightflail.
*The Starwars movies I am referring to are, of course, of the awesome trilogy: The prequel trilogy. The original movies were very good movies in their own right, but they failed to enchant me the way these prequels did. Someone had to like them, right?
Exar Kun's weapon was wielded in two hands, or so I recall, but that's because it featured a HILARIOUS intensity dial on both blades, so he could dial the intensity of the beam down suddenly to psych out opponents.
