> Lightsabers ad which is actually a torch - scam.

Aren't they really just confined plasma torches though, lore-wise?

No, a torch has a far shorter "beam", while a lightsaber is a very large "beam" compressed into a cylindrical shape by magnetic fields.

Either that or they meant "torch" as in "flashlight", which I've seen shitty lightsabers be.

That would be candle in a flowerpot ad to save on energy bills.
