Some nice ideas, except re. weapons. Don't forget that the light sabres are not ordinary weapons. They get their power from the Force itself.

I don't recall the movie saying that light sabres are powered by the Force, although was left with that vague impression. However, I later read (in either one of the Star Wars books or the comic book) a scene in which Luke uses the power pack from someone's unused blaster to recharge his light sabre. Perhaps the Force is a component of the light sabre's "light", I don't know; but apparently not a power source.
