Another point about the superiority of lightsabres that I have not seen
mentioned: Remeber the battle against the walkers on Hoth? There, Luke
used his lightsabre to slice open the armor of a walker that the blaster
bolts could not penetrate. This is direct evidence that the lightsabre
force-blade is stronger than the bolts from even large "artillery-size"
blasters. (You could justify this, probably, by citing the limited range
of the force-blade, and saying it traded distance for power.)
