Well, if the lightsaber is 4000 degrees, one would think that the average person standing next to a saber battle would get burned. Ever put your hand above a lit stove? Not directly above, but a few feet above, and notice the air is still hot enough to burn your hand? Yeah... And if it's several billion degrees.... well I'm pretty sure that any planet a jedi or sith battled on would be forfeit.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
