Captain! That monk deflected my phaser blast with his sword.

Kirk: Set phaser to wide dispersion. Fire!

Captain, he did a spinny thing and it somehow blocked the wide beam even though that makes no logical sense!

Kirk: Fiendish, we're dealing with the worst kind of opponent... fantasy bullshit

Plot armour is impenetrable.

IMO, Kirk's plot offense is stronger than a Jedi's plot defense.

Spock: "I scanned their weapons with my tricorder and adjusted my communicator to remotely disable their plasma sword."

Captain, one of their directors decided he wanted a completely out of character scene at the beginning of his movie and now they can literally hold energy mid-air as an afterthought.

Never underestimate the amount you can get away with fantasy bullshit.

Sword Art Online had lightsabers and called them photon swords, in the second season. Main character goes to a gun game and buys a sword. It’s a lightsaber. He wants to call it that but they won’t let him. Almost a fourth wall break.
