You could theoretically make a plasma sword that behaves like one.

Just ask Michio Kaku

Theoretically... Strong enough magnetic fields containing plasma. It wouldnt have a stable "Solid" form and you couldnt fight anything with it. And even if you could you would be evaporated by extreme heat. Not to mention it would require literally tons of supporting gear and extremely potent external powersource.

This kind is more doable. You might need to hook it up to a dedicated electrical substation to get it to cut the way you want it to though.

a complex shape like this is what's needed to contain plasma within a magnetic field

tell me how you keep the plasma from escaping just from whatever's in the handle?

and why aren't nearby metallic objects affected?

your hand would melt from the power just holding it

I think that the real utility of the sword is diminished because no one has the force.

The ability of lightsabers to cut through walls is probably of a lot of interest to the military, however, the machine that does this would probably not look like a sword.

joffe bars or baseball coils with large end plug potentials like a tandem mirror reactor to minimize losses

Yeeh

It's not practically possible, no. You can make it, yes, but you would never be able to power it or even go near it.
The whole idea is
>use muh force
IRL we don't have that

No, my midichlorians are high.

(And so am I)
