When has Luke EVER fought with a sword?
Hell, the Dark Underlord used Jar'Kai as a style to fight with two Ancient Sith Swords and if you've seen pictures of the man, he's positively corpselike and emaciated
The swords the Dark Underlord and Tavion used were absolutely nothing like the ones we saw Sadow and Kressh swinging around. The DU's blades looked like vibroswords from KotOR, and Tavion's was hidden in a staff; the sizes aren't even comparable to the older variants. Not to mention that the material the blades are crafted from are obviously completely different. The thinner Sith swords were made of metal, while the ancients' weapons looked crystalline.
And now, when did Luke ever lift a blade like Sadow's? That's not to say that he couldn't, but considering that after the decline of the ancient Sith we never see their brand of swords again, there'd be nothing impressive about him raising a blade akin to those of the Dark Underlord or Tavion.
Erm, yes, Yoda was fighting his saber...what's he using to slice through the battle droids and deflect bullets? You're probably confusing separate instances.
I was right, he jumps off the cliff, where they can't attack him, before using the Force to drop a huge chunk of rock and snow on them. Chapter 15, near the end, watch it.

And the DU's swords are described as Ancient Sith swords. Key word being 'ancient.' We've only got one picture of the Underlord and none of him in combat.
My point being, that the idea that they weigh hundreds of pounds is faulty at best when I can't think of any two depictions of Sith Swords that resemble the other.

And Tavion's sword was Marka Ragnos's.

I wouldn't call a crystalline sword
And the DU's swords are described as Ancient Sith swords. Key word being 'ancient.' We've only got one picture of the Underlord and none of him in combat.And I suppose it's impossible that there could be more than one kind of 'ancient' Sith sword. Seriously, the DU's sword, and the weapons of Sadow and Kressh. Not at all the same thing.
My point being, that the idea that they weigh hundreds of pounds is faulty at best when I can't think of any two depictions of Sith Swords that resemble the other.Hundreds of pounds? Hardly. I can see them being extraordinarily heavy compared to later melee weapons, but triple-digits is ludicrous.
At one point, Luke lifts up an ancient Sith sword to inspect it.You just said that. But you didn't provide a source or scan, which is what I'm asking for. Not that it matters, because it likely wasn't one resembling those in GAotS.
And Tavion's sword was Marka Ragnos's.Yes, and it also slipped out of his scepter, which if you hadn't noticed isn't very thick.
