Energy swords? Maaaaaaaaaybe, would require some actual technobabble to explain why it is that it has achieved this effect.Lightsabers? Probably not.

Well they already explained how lightsabers are made in the expanded universe, and they proved on a science TV show that it is possible to make one, anyway the reason I am asking is because I plan to have a space pirate faction and energy swords would help keep the sci fi aspect while still being very much like pirates, I also have a way of explaining how they create the energy swords
