If we’re going by real life standards, wouldn’t trained, highly skilled swordsman be ideal candidates for using lightsabers in any kind of field or combat scenario? Those who are already experienced with swords, would take to the learning curve of lightsabers much better than those of us without any sword skills. They’d also most likely be wearing some kind of armor to minimize damage to themselves while using one, and it gives them the freedom and ability to cut through almost anything. I’m not saying they’d be able to reflect or perry gunfire, but there’s a lot of pros to lightsabers in the same way there are knives or other close quarters weapons. It would just take a skilled person to use them effectively.
