Can a Jedi lightsaber cut through Superman?

This question has been haunting me for a couple of days and is keeping me awake at night.  Off hand I want to say no, but I think if you add in a couple of variables my answer might turn to yes.  If the lightsaber is constructed using kryptonite crystals, then duh, of course it would cut Superman.  Now if you just had a regular lightsaber constructed of normal lightsaber crystals, then probably not.  But what if it was a red lightsaber?  Since Superman receives his power from a yellow sun and is weakened by a red sun, this could have an impact.  But then again, the light of a red lightsaber is possibly different than that of a red sun.  But all of this lead me to another question:

Who would win in a fight between Darth Vader Superman?

Vader of course would be using a red lightsaber, which could possible harm Superman, and Vader would also have the use of the dark side of the Force as a Sith Lord.  Right now, I thinking Vader would defeat Superman.  If you’ve seen Spaceballs then you know Darth Helmet would agree.

This is just too much for me to wrap my head around, and I don’t think I can blog again until I find an acceptable answer.

    This is fairly straightforward…Superman wins.

    I would imagine using his Super-Breath he would merely blow upon the light saber and its operator. This would throw Darth Vader, in your example, off balance and cause him to drop the saber. Alternatively his breath could freeze the saber causing it to, in 26th century technological terms, " become jammed".

    Once Superman had taken possession of the light saber one can only imagine the havoc he would reap.

    Superman is the "man of steel". We have ample evidence of lightsabers cutting through steel like it's paper. Darth Vader, for the win.

    But Superman could fly around the world really fast over and over and over and turn back time, therefore giving himself ample time to disable Darth Vader's lightsaber. Superman for the win!
