    The advancements in lightsaber technology by the SIth reflected their philosophy of conquest and acquisition of power. The Jedi on the other hand were passive and did not have the motivation to improve their technology even though they were peacekeepers. I mean to be a peacekeeper you need to have the necessary power to enforce law and order. The Jedi knew the shortcomings of the proto-sabers and did nothing to improve it whereas the Sith did, and when faced with the advanced technology did the Jedi get the impetus to improve their weapons. This shows that the Jedi were reactionary rather than proactive; a trait that has led to many serious issues in Jedi Order.

      The darkside also encourages progress and innovation over stagnation and dogmatism. So much so that even the Jedi, defenders of the light side are not above using these advancements for their own befits for generations to come and ironically against the Sith. Hell the Galactic Republic is built on the foundations laid by darksiders like the Rakatan Infinite Empire.

    I've concluded that in the eternal debate of whether the Dark Side or Light Side is stronger, I'd say the Dark Side is superior for war and conquest, but the Light Side is better for actually governing. Whenever the Sith arise, they pound the Jedi left, right, north, and south initially-"easier, quicker, more seductive"-then they divide, start fighting among themselves, giving the Jedi and the Republic the time they need to regroup and war them down.
    This allowed the Jedi to govern, and they kept the Republic going for thousands of years, longer than some planets in Star Wars have been inhabited. When the Rule of Two Sith finally beat them through deception, council blindness and the help of a lot of clones, they continued beating on the Jedi martially, and even Luke never beat the Emperor himself, but they just kept doubling down on rule by fear through execution, superweapons, etc., that I doubt even if Vader hadn't been redeemed, the Empire would have lasted longer than a few more decades. As it stands, they only made it twenty years, not counting the decline of said empire after Palpatine died and the warlords tore it apart...Then Thrawn led a resurgence through sheer competency, with no emperor to terrorize them. Then Palpatine came back for a while. Then a final warlords period, and then Pelleaon took over and ended it.
    The Galactic civil war was actually pretty nuts when you think about it.
    And finally, by Cade Skywalkers time, Palpatine's ghost could only look in horror as the Jedi descendants of Jagged Fel and Jaina Solo took over his throne, and helped the Jedi fight the Sith.
    Long story short, if you want to take over the galaxy, be a Sith. If you want to keep things stable and live a long time, get the Jedi for advice.

But the lightsaber is an extension of the user and the most personal possession that a Jedi can have, and therefore should be chosen and constructed fully by the user to their exact specifications, as they know themselves better than anything or anyone else.

      I don’t think it’s that bad, but I wish they retained the idea of synthetic crystals in canon since it speaks to how using such an “artificial” and “unnatural” means to acquire a lightsaber crystal opposite to the Jedi acquiring natural ones. It echos the whole “easy to acquire power” message that the Sith/Dark Side are associated with. Though, the idea of “bleeding” the crystals, adds to that the Sith can be a pervasive force to all living things in their wake, it would also make a useful trial for newly converted Dark Jedi/Sith apprentices to show loyalty to the Dark Side by corrupting their natural crystal to bleed, essentially betraying their crystal like they did the Jedi/Light Side.

    wouldnt it be really cool if some child from a far away planet found a sword that had a "dull" Blade, but he or she could feel a connection with it, and slowly reawakening it's power and glow through the force? it would make for an amazing Series if done right, as it would be incredibly unique, and could even be used to save what is left of the new sequel films.

    Technology in SW is intriguing. In Star Trek, the Federation is forbidden from using cloaking tech even though everyone else does. So the Federation developed ways in countering cloaking tech which in a way was better for them. When those force sabers came out, they immediately decided to use it instead of simply countering it. I remember reading about something like a slug launcher that fires solid rounds and when jedi try to deflect it with their light saber, (unlike beams) it melts the round spraying the jedi with molten metal. Its also interesting that force users never evolved to using kyber crystal powered blasters but the death star was a kyber crystal powered beam cannon.

      These actually exist, they weren't well known and were dangerous to use. However, rather than incorporating a Kyber crystal into the design of a blaster, they made a blaster which you could slide your own lightsaber into to use as a power source. It was extremely powerful, but destroyed the users lightsabers after 4 - 5 concentrated blasts lasting a few seconds each. Jocasta Nu used this to quite great effect against Darth Vader during their battle in the Jedi archives on Coruscant.

Would this be the current Canon's protosaber, or something between the protosaber and the modern lightsaber?

Add technology and combat training that's as effective or more effective, then yeah, they stand a good chance against an inferior species with weak force abilities and a hot stick. And prep time is a huge advantage when your have technologically advanced weaponry. And jedi are often forced to walk into traps, due to having to ask permission from separatists to go different planets, to "secretly" investigate separatist activity. Palpatine also p much knows all of their moves, but a lot of bounty hunters can defeat jedi council members if they have a few hours for prep.
