Of course there will be lightsabers in future Star Wars! ...right?
With the Skywalker saga coming to an end, the future movies could be set anywhere. Suppose it's in another galaxy, where Jedi, Sith, and their lightsabers aren't a thing. Would that be acceptable to you?
Personally, I'm leaving toward no. Lightsabers are the icon that sets Star Wars apart from everything else. It just wouldn't feel right without them.
