@first commentor:
No, they're both pure plasma energy.
If lightsabers are plasma then why're they also known as laser swords? Laser and plasma are different things.
Don't take the terminology of an eight year old to seriously.
If they were laser swords, then why does the blade stop at 3 or 4 feet? Being a lser, it should just keep going.
And again, if it was a laser, why can they block each other?
From Wookieepedia:
"Designed as much for elegance in combat as for ceremony, the lightsaber, also referred to as the "laser sword" by those who were unfamiliar with it, was a distinctive weapon, the very image of which was inextricably bound with the mythos of the Jedi Order and their polar opposites, the Sith...The weapon consisted of a blade of pure plasma energy emitted from the hilt and suspended in a force containment field. The field contained the immense heat of the plasma, protecting the wielder, and allowed the blade to keep its shape."
Very first two paragraphs.
