Neither does freaking thor's hammer yet there's a shit ton of lore on that thing. I would have expected the EU to explain how they works or something?

How do you turn on a lightsaber??

I wonder how much of the cast would remain alive if Yoshiyuki Tomino directed Star Wars lol.
The Deathstar would have gotten its shot off just prior to being blown up.
Bad things would have happened to all female characters. Someone would be decapitated by a blaster.
What in the hell? Also, why are those lightsabers so thin? Ick
It's kinda cute though, the childish misunderstanding that "things that spin go up", because the lift created isn't due to the specific shape of the rotor / helicopter blades, but merely due to the really really fast rotation. :D
Do you not know how switches work? Do you spend your time at home standing with your thumb holding down the light switch to avoid plunging into darkness?
Worth noting that they can use the Force to activate / keep a saber activated. It's the whole reason lightsaber throws work, even though lightsabers turn off when dropped.
I'd also guess there's some kind of shielding technique/design thing that protects lightsabers from being activated or manipulated by an opponent. There's very few instances of anything like that happening, so there's gotta be an explanation why.
And it's hard to parse, but those dual-bladed sabers have a sort of circular, spinning base that lets them 'copter like that. It's not the staff design of Maul's dual-bladed saber.
...And yes, they're completely ridiculous.

The thin saber design is an homage to the OG concept art for Star Wars. Rebels takes a lot of inspiration from concept art.

Because knowing exactly how everything works in minute detail would make for really, really, REALLY shitty movies and shows. Because that sort of detail is just, unimportant. Hardcore nerds may well spend hours and hours memorising technical schematics and intricate minutia, but the majority of people just don't need that level of detail to make it through a movie.
Ok, this might be the most ridiculous lightsaber related thing I've seen. Even beats the stuff the EU came up with
I do kinda remember the footage of Obi Wan and Vader fighting and the lightsabers seeming a little thinner. Not really a fan and I'm glad they changed it. Lookin more like lightrapiers.
The EU Legends had a fighting style based on switching off the lightsaber. Iirc it was so difficult that only the best duelists could master it.
Cal is pretty inexperienced with lightsabers (seems like he avoided using his completely till the game's story begins), especially with double bladed ones so it's not too much of a stretch of imagination to see why he does that. Hate how it looks though.
The protosabers had battery packs that let the Jedi overclock their lightsabers.
...

no.
(If you find an occurrence where this happens, i'm gonna be seriously impressed.)
that was kinda interesting, the energy loop thing, where the energy goes around in circles unless the sabre makes contact is a neat way to explain the power seeming almost infinite. i like that someone had to think all this stuff up.
