Jedi with a heavy ice cream cone vs a Jedi with a lightsabre.
Who whines?
Or did you mean a heavysabre? Like light as not very heavy, so the light batsword is not Batman's favorite close range blade weapon but a Klingon (soap for the machine) version of the Jedi typical lightsabre, the neon thing?
For the revisited Klungonish design to work, you'd need a mini staff, with two grips on each end, which would emulate the dual grip of the bathleap. Then the blades, turned light (light as glow stuff that kills), and to conform to the shape of the usual Klingoff weapon, the Jedi would be using a weapon with rather short curved blades on either side.
This sucks a lot, but on the other hand, the main advantage of this design is to lock the oponent's blade into yours and somehow pull it out of the way, while continuing a motion that allows the other side of the light batsword to hit the Jedi.

However the light bat'leth would have provide far better defense than a lightsaber so the Jedi with the bat'leth could defend until the other Jedi gets exhausted.Mr. Oragahn wrote:Jedi with a heavy ice cream cone vs a Jedi with a lightsabre.

Re: Jedi with a light bat'leth vs Jedi with a lightsaber
A "light bat'leth" would be very similar to Darth Maul's double lightsaber, in effect. Two basic differences:
1. Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber was long, close to 2 meters. A bat'leth is generally not more than about 1.5 meters at the longest. (1.1-1.2 meters typically.)
2. A "light bat'leth" would have a blade across the middle section. See here for why this would be useful.
I would credit the advantage to the one with the light bat'leth for the same reason that Darth Maul, with a double lightsaber, had an advantage over most Jedi that he fought - he's trained against people with regular lightsabers, but the Jedi with regular lightsabers have not trained against people with double lightsabers, as a general rule.
