I'm sure that if Palps got in close, Thor would pick him up, bite off his head, drink the blood squirting out from his neck, throw down Palp's headless body, and exclaim, "I'LL HAVE ANOTHER!"

I dont see why not. Being able to take vast blunt force is quite different than a blade that cuts through nearly everything.
Except, Thor also has multiple feats of withstanding energy attacks, like Iron-man's repulsor beams, the Bi-Frost explosion, blast from Odin's spear etc.
Didn't the lightsabers take a decent amount of time to cut through a blast door?

Can the movie lightsabers even cut Thor considering his durability feats?
Good question. Considering how long it took the lightsabers to cut through the blast doors, I'd say that yes they can hurt Thor, but they probably won't be able to cut through him. Maybe give him a whole load of flesh wounds.

Explain how Jedi and/or Sith exhibit superhuman durability.
Why you non sequituring it up? What I said has nothing to do with superman durability. But I'll entertain your non sequitur anyways, cos I am kind. Force users seem to be far more durable than a regular human, but I can't see Palpatine surviving a direct hit from Mjolnir.
Anyhow, Thor loses his head here and a headless Thor = a Palpatine win 🙂

I know Thor's a big blowhard dumbass who likes to get in and smash shit with his big hammer, this is his MO in Thor, Avengers and likely will be in Thor 2; when he goes in to turn Palpatine into Sith custard with a grunty swing, Palpatine cuts him into little itty bitty Asgardian bits 🙂

Only IIRC movie lightsabers have never cut anything with Thor's level of durability.
They easily pierced through heavy blast doors, Qui Gon Jinn had no problem stabbing his sabre in. FFW to 1:24 & 1:44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEAc1ot7w_g
On the other hand, Thor's super-duper durability leans heavily towards blunt force trauma, as 4 inch blade easily pierced his armor and his flesh.
All things point to a sabre piercing Thor and him making a stupid face before he dies.

Standing in his own lightning strike during the Destroyer scene is one.
Lighting is absolutely in no way greater or equal to a lightsabre:
-Thor's lighting just did superficial damage to the Iron Man suit, while I doubt you'd argue that the IM suit could withstand a blow from a lightsabre.
-We can also safely conclude that lightning would do absolutely nothing to those blast doors aboard the trade federation ship.

Lightning strikes are supposed to be able to generate heat at 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit and Thor stood in that strike for several seconds.
Do you think IM could tank a hit from a sabre?
Do you think lightning could melt those blast doors on the trade fed ship in Ep1?
