Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers

…its more like a sort of … very angry, ‘fuzzy’, elongated cylinder with a roughly hemispherical ‘endcap’.
And the sort of… exit point, or emmitting point of the ‘blade’ is… more like an camera aperture or a nozzle.
But you also say this O, this eye of the needle… is spinning?
That is a bit of lore I am not familiar with, could you expand on that?

"Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power." ―Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus on the Darksaber, Rebels: s3e15 Trials of the Dark SaberI’m sure there are other references, too, but for it to be a power current it needs to flow to and from a terminus. See also the Tagge Protoblade in which the energy circles around a metal core (internally referred to as the corn dog lightsaber) instead of being a sword

I get that, sort of, that… some kind of supernatural/extradimensional energy is essentially drawn into, and then focused by the kyber crystals and the modulation systems of a light saber…
I just had not heard that they involved a mechanically spinning component.
