I thought it was cool that he could use it against a light saber but I will say it's kinda useless outside of that purpose (and given there's not a lot of saber wielders around anymore....)
I'm not sure their thought process, but vibroblades are a well-established thing in the EU. They can stand up to a lightsaber. This looks like a vibrobaton. I'm not all that sure why their bringing it on this particular mission. It would be a non-lethal crowd control option with the side benefit of being able to parry lightsabers and vibroblades. Still, there's nothing like "a good blaster at your side." But it's a movie, you can invent your own reason why he's got it.
