Having a laser sword is crazy enough as it is. Having a curved laser sword would be beyond crazy.
You seriously don't think that the Jedi were based off of Samurai? Have you ever heard Lucas talk about his movies before? Even the name Jedi comes from the term Jidai-geki, which is the period drama (aka Samurai movie). The whole series is a tribute to Samurai movies and old scifi serials. Toshiro Mifune (Yojimbo) was even considered for the role of Obi-Wan (which would have kicked ass, btw).
