The reason prosthetics are so good in Star Wars is because the Jedi use live lightsabers to train. (lemmy.world)

We have been shown that there is some weight to a lightsaber when lit though. Like in Rebels and the Mandalorian/Book of Boba.

And this weight is different to how a normal sword would work. The length adjustment is to finetune this power/weight distribution to fit the user and their style of fighting. Which is why we get shotos and claymores, as well as different sizes for different sized species.
