So, who still uses the Force to open supermarket doors?
I do.
<thumbs pointing at chest> This guy.  It's also bee my experience that visual sensors respond quicker to lateral movement, as well as holding your arm out gives the sensor something to look at 2-3 feet ahead of your stride. So a wave of the hand actually does open the doors.  Also, elevator and hospital doors...
That's just showing off your badass timing.  |

Uh... This is a given. One cannot simply walk into a supermarket without waving their hand. |

You know what I've never seen...?
A lightdagger. You know...like a knife-sized lightsaber.
Oh, it wouldn't shock me to discover that there is one somewhere in one of the eighty-gajillion books and comics and the like. But I've never seen it.
Seems like the kinna thing I'd have seen.

Going into the fictional physics of the lightsaber, what I would imagine is that the gyroscopic force generated by having the containment field be so short would make the light dagger idea very difficult to wield. Some EU novels explained the blade as a magnetic field containing the plasma of the saber's output in a parabolic arc. Even for a Jedi, a shorter blade would exert greater force. The shortest we get to is the shoto saber, which would be akin to the wakizashi of Japan. |

It's nothing special. One merely adjusts the blade to the desired dagger-like length. Going into the fictional physics of the lightsaber, what I would imagine is that the gyroscopic force generated by having the containment field be so short would make the light dagger idea very difficult to wield. Some EU novels explained the blade as a magnetic field containing the plasma of the saber's output in a parabolic arc. Even for a Jedi, a shorter blade would exert greater force. The shortest we get to is the shoto saber, which would be akin to the wakizashi of Japan.
Going to argue this. If increased containment was required, why not simply turn down the power output to the blade? One could assume that a shorter blade would not have the same power requirements. I cite Yoda's shoto. It not only had a shorter blade, but the hilt itself was significantly smaller than a typical saber. The same array of components is needed to generate a blade, so the only real area he could sacrifice hilt size was in the size of the power cell.  |

I mean, I guess the hum wouldn't make it the best assassination weapon cuz you could hardly sneak up on anybody with it. But still...I'm sure it must have a use. |

Then you just don't turn it on until you have the emitter against your target's back. Example:  |
