Also what stops the light part of the saber from going on forever like a laser pointer or a flashlight? Its a light saber so the light should go all the way until it hits something, right?
From most designs I've seen, they appear to have a button of some short which must be pressed to activate/deactivate them. Though I'm unsure if the wielder of said lightsaber must continuously hold the button down, but if so then this would explain why they deactivate when a Jedi/Sith drops it.
As for how they remain activated when thrown, I'd say that the use of the Force is involved somehow. I mean, we're talking about them throwing a lightsaber through the air and then using the Force to bring it right back to them, so saying that they also use the Force to keep it activated isn't that hard to believe.
