jobber that beats pokemon that are not only a bad matchup but also should be far stronger?
even if he was a total jobber nobody was asking for the strongest, just the best

Is the lightsaber the best fictional weapon?

Flying guillotine.
I hope you've seen the Boondocks episode with the same weapon
No cable. Only local tv.

Scale it up a lot and give it to a mobile suit.
Damn right it is.
Such a shame this shot wasn't in the final film. :/

I might just go with mobile suits, because beam sabers come free with them and

Did Star Wars ripped off Gundam?

the first scene of many to trivialize light saber duels forever?
Is that a Schwartz?Scale it up a lot and give it to a mobile suit.
As long as you don't touch the chickens.

No. It looks cool but there's something I always didn't like about it being so lethal as it is.
Did it, though?

The Master Sword will always be my favorite fictional weapon, then the lightsaber.

The lightsabers' potential was wasted by George Lucas.

Not saying it's better than the light sabre, but the discs in Tron are pretty cool.

There is nothing good to come out of the prequels for fanatics, is there?

fanatics? the prequels did some things well, like the music and some neat designs etc. But giving so many characters lightsabers and having them fight for 10 minutes straight took away the kind of rare mythical feel they had for sure.
it was never about which weapon is the most destructive, that would be really really boring. ie. Wormhole gun from Farscape or Black Hole spawning gun in Star Trek lol
Not only is the light saber not that impressive, Lucas didn't really invent it. The idea had been around for a long time in science fiction.
It may seem cool, but I can think of dozens, maybe hundreds of more effective/cooler science fiction weapons, ranging from Hideo's monomolecular filament from Neuromancer to Outlaw Starr's black hole shooting magic pistol to Louis Wu's flashlight laser, which is a light saber without the range problem.

Will DOOM's BFG suit?
Goku's Power Pole is a lot cooler, IMO

yeah, if you took the lightsaber out of Star Wars it would be laser tag.

No, it just looks cool but it isn't very useful as a weapon.
This is a world where wars are fought with death stars and star destroyers, and they want to fight with melee weapons? Sure it can reflect a laser beam, but can it reflect an explosion? What about fire from a flame thrower?
I' m not familiar with the EU. Why are all Jedi warriors? With powers like that you'd think they would be far better as something else.

Nah. They aren't even that interesting in the gamut of sci-fi weaponry.
How about sentient weapons whose designs were sent back in time from future humans?
Hell Class fuck yeah!

While not quite as cool as the lightsaber beam saber, the humble Heat Hawk is cool too.
