I got a few thing done.
None of which have anything to do with the legs.
I think kinks legs verts lie as a balanced.
Since both his legs are in ONE verticie, if you make it bigger it affects the right leg and if you make it smaller if affects the left leg. You have to keep the verticie on the legs the same to keep them the same size.
Oh and Velen. This is my first time vertexing, I am a noob at it. Like you i recently "lacked the tools ans equipment to do so" But now I can.
I hope my recent post did indeed clear up your confusion

I vertexed the saber and its not bad. Still needs work but im not gonna worry about it for now.
