Reactions to this video can be used as a sort of geek barometer:
Normal person: She's hot! Wish there was some better lighting in the video, though. Why was she holding a flourescent tube? Geek: She's hot! And she has a lightsaber, too! Cool! True geek: You can't lick a lightsaber! You'd behead yourself!
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that a light saber is a radiation based weapon. If it were heat based, then it would be radiating enough energy to melt the hands of whoever is holding it. So we'll assume it works in part, by containing ultra high radiation levels in a magnetic shield.
Now, let's assume you're in a Jedi LARP, and your character has not just a +10 resistance to radiation, but full blown immunity.
That character would, as a result, be able to lick her light saber, or in deed use it in a variety of, erm, entertaining ways.
Or we could just say, "She's hot and dances seductively" and not think about it beyond that.
