From: Ben Littauer <littauer at BBN-UNIX> I don't quite understand all the foofraw about the light sabers. My understanding of the situation was that the light saber is an outmoded weapon -- though it still might be considered extremely powerful in the right (or wromg) hands. Somethig like a sword is today. Thus, although it might be a little difficult to find a lioght saber in your corner weapons shop, it is not as if only a Jedi Knight is allowed/able to have one. From the discussion so far one would have the impression that the light saber is some kind of mystical weapon... -ben-
