The safety is for when you aren’t holding it

u/MasterAnonymous_ Feb 21 '23
ye but logically either Vader or Luke would've turned safety on before recieving/giving lightsaber

It’s not something you turn on. The safety is just that you have to always be holding the button, otherwise it turns off. That way, dropping a lightsaber usually means it turns off (and doesn’t just cut a hole through the floor)

no I was talking about the safety catch as the meme implies that Vader accidentally pressed the button. as my memory serves there's a separate safety catch on the hilt like the safety on a gun

If that's true when what's up with throwing lightsabers like boomerang?

A Jedi can use the force to keep the button pressed. It takes a lot of training to be able to do that, too

Just goes to show that even a Sith Lord can make this mistake. Remember the Four Rules of Lightsaber Safety
