sorry but weapons like that wouldn't be fair... in this type of game. There were many other compounds discovered that could resist a lightsaber blade too.... Cortosis for one do more research and you'll find Lightsabers aren't the ULTIMATE weapon ever used in the Star Wars universe that prize would pretty much go to a blaster.... I.E. The Death Star.....don't see many Lightsabers blowing up planets do you? No
Id also like to see a lightsaber deflect a blast from the Death Star.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

From www.starwars.com Database:
About the weapon lightsaber:
"The lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi, an elegant armament of a more civilized time. In comparison, blasters are crude, inaccurate and loud affairs. To carry a lightsaber is an example of incredible skill and confidence, dexterity and attunement to the Force.
When deactivated, a lightsaber appears as a polished metallic handle, about 30 centimeters long, lined with control studs. At the press of a button the energy contained within is liberated and forms as a shaft of pure energy about a meter long. The saber hums and scintillates with a distinct sound. Its shimmering blade is capable of cutting through almost anything, save for the blade of another lightsaber.
In the hands of a Jedi, a lightsaber is almost unstoppable. It can be used to cut through blast doors or enemies alike. Using the Force, a Jedi can predict and deflect incoming blaster bolts, and reflect them back at the firer.
After the extermination of the Jedi ranks, lightsabers became rare relics. The knowledge of their construction disappeared with their masters. Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi, built his own lightsaber as the culmination of his training.
Although use of the lightsaber is strictly reserved to the Jedi -- the only ones capable of handling the difficult weapon -- it is also used by their sworn enemies, the Sith. "

sorry to burst your bubble but jedi were gods.....
Where do you get this from? They were powerful being, skilled in manipulating the Force...but they were far from Gods. The vast majority (I won't say all, 'cause I know the EU stuff too) of Jedi and Force Sensitive beings in the core systems were either killed outright, forced into hiding, or turned to the Emperors will. Not too many gods get shot in the back by a bunch of guys with blasters.
In the end, Jedi were never godly, they were simply humanoids with supernatural abilities. But very mortal, which in and of itself would go against the claims of Godlyness. I'm not saying they weren't powerful, but anybody who knows the Star Wars universe knows that being able to use the force had great power, but also supplied a great number of weaknesses. Being unable to fight against clones, since they weren't self-motivated, was a huge gap in the power of the Jedi to sense danger. Normal humans, like Jango Fett, were able to slay Jedi Masters through surprise and guile.
Gods are typically omnipotent, immortal,omnipresent beings...Jedi are far from that.
