I remember someone at one of the "official" Star Wars sessions at a wolrdcon a while back describing the light saber blade actually was a "rotating" cone in the working versions and that it spun at fairly high speed producing most of the SOUND effects itself although there was some post production work done on them. If they were in fact rapidly rotating cones it seems quite likely that they could cause a dummy to burst into flame through friction effects.
