Why do you think they are "just swords"?
I guess I always thought of them as shorter, like knives or daggers.
Of course, they would have circuitry to make them vibrate. Maybe that could all be "contained" in the hilt.
I have seen Vibro-axes with what looks like wires or cables on them. Like this one:

If you want to go by the vibroblades in Star Wars Galaxies, they look quite similar to scimitars, except they have a thick hilt containing the vibrating part, and what looks like a vent or something for cooling. You could probably attach an "Adult toy" inside a hilt to make it vibrate.

The blades don't vibrate per se, they they "micro-vibrate" which increases how easily they cut through sumthin. Its akin to heating it up almost, which makes them almost as deadly as a lightsaber. Tho they don't deflect blaster bolts  |

I agree, I like teh designs of Vibro blades from KOTOR-KOTORII. they look like regular swords yet are like what Kyrian described.

They definitely look more like broad swords than katanas... katanas have a curved blade and only one edge is sharp. Personally I don't see the point of a vibroblade in the context of star wars, one of those EU things that I believe detracts from the movie feel rather than adding to it. Lightsabers are unique and everything that a vibroblade is and more, as well as being far more practical. If I wanted to swing a sword around i'd be a reneissance costumer... give me a lightsaber anyday |
