Everybody sez that the sabre does not get its power from the source. They also say that can be proved by the fact that Han Solo uses a sabre, and Luke could use it when he first picked it up. I thought everybody was part of the Force, it's just that some people were more aware of it than others, and perhaps these sabres were designed to work with anybody's "Force Field". Anyway, I will hold judgement on this until I see ANH (SW4) again. rochester!FtG says it's coming to HBO in February (If untrue, send flames to *that* address). I will not claim that light sabres get their power from The Force again until that time, so no more rebuttals, please. By the way, did anyone mention the beginning of ANH where Leia makes it quite obvious she knows OB1, by sending him that message via R2-D2? That sure makes a strong argument that she's got a close tie with the Jedi Knights. Jim Heliotis
