and force of swing or angle doesn't really matter when it comes to a lightsaber, now does it

It absolutely does. There's a huge difference between a glancing blow that only grazes something versus a direct head-on impact. And the amount of force behind the swing is absolutely going to affect how deep something cuts.

Lightsabers aren't intangible magic that phases through things. It's pretty clear that there's always some degree of resistance when they hit physical objects. They're less like a laser beam that instantly slices through everything and more like a red-hot knife cutting through butter.

The angle of contact and strength of the blow would absolutely be the difference between cutting someone's entire torso in half and just sort of leaving a relatively thin scorched wound.
