To be fair, at that time, we had no idea what a lightsaber could or could not cut through either. The entire first movie, we just see them block shots from a training drone, and hit another lightsaber. We don’t see them cut anything until the wampa cave at the start of Empire (and I’m still amazed how luke got his feet out of the ice and still had all 10 toes…).
I think that’s true, but at the time, the only canon was Luke swinging around a laser sword willy-nilly.

That is also true!
