        Yeah it happens, but the bright light from the blade makes it clearly visible meaning that in a real battle your enemy would see where you are and kill you before your boomerang would come back to you

        A Jedi vs. a random Tau’ri with a P90 would hardly be a fair match. The Jedi wouldn’t know what hit him.

            I’ve had Star Wars fans argue vigorously that a Jedi could deflect a cloud of buckshot with a lightsabre. I’m a Star Wars fan myself but that’s a sure sign of someone who’s gone completely off the deep end. It’s a very basic question of simple geometry - you can’t intercept every pellet in a three-dimensional cloud with a two-dimensional rod regardless of how fast your precognitive reflexes are.
