...a poly carbonate blade adds a bit of weight and changes the center of balance on lightsaber quite a lot. No one uses a curved hilt as it is intended (stabbing with a lightsaber is not flashy/theatrical enough). Instead they choke up on it, like any other hilt, so they can spin the blade fast and the curve is mearly there for asthetics (like longhorns on a Texas Cadilac)
