Because he thinks it's cool and if you think otherwise then you're a "stuck up half-witted scruffy-looking nerf-herder."
He's talking to you twitter. The people who are complaining that the design is crap because they wouldn't protect your hands like sword hilts are supposed to. Well you're wrong! So prepare to be taken to school as Colbert details why he think it's actually a perfect design, revealing his expert analysis on the mechanics of lightsaber science.

The 'Taking things a bit too far' version:
The dark vs the light:
And finally, The Old Testament vs The New Testament:
