I've always considered the beam of a lightsaber to be a modification of force-field technology of the Star Trek variety (think of all the times they touch a force-field and there is the blue shimmer and a feedback sound very similar to the sound of a lightsaber...) I'd theorize that the beam is infact a tightly focused rotating forcefield... It cuts through objects (and heats them up) in the same manner as a file will heat up both itself and the surface (through friction rather than direct heat exchange)
