In A Jedi Battle whats more important? Skill with Force or Lightsaber?
I think its lightsaber
because
look at it this way in ESB could Vader still beat Luke without using the force? YES. Could he without using a lightsaber? Definateley not. I think the skill with the lightsaber is defiantley more important attribute.

Anyone can use a lightsaber, but only a Jedi knight can use it to proper affect. If the Force cannot be wielded by the wielder, it becomes as dangerous as a gun in the hands of a child.
probably skill with lightsaber....if you're good with the force you can jump and heal and run etc, but if you're no good with a lightsaber you just die
although, if you had a lot of force powers, like darkside ones and whatnot, I suppose in a large battle you could lightning everyone.
droids especially

i guess its the force you could still be speedy and do flying charges and stuff like that with the force and take an opponent out melee. Without the force and just a lightsaber your clumsy and lack the legant accuracy of a jedi.
That doesn't answer the question though. It more is like an oxymoron when applied to the question at hand.
Skill in the Force would definentally be more helpful, than just weilding a lightsaber around. You're more likely to cut off your own arm with a lightsaber, let alone block bolts, parry, or survive if you don't have the force as that extra "sense" needed in SW Battles. At least you could throw crap and push people around with the force.
But it really is an odd question since both skills go hand in hand.

Sigh... skill with a Lightsabre obviously includes the abilities required to use it well. 'Skill with the Force' is about using force powers in a fight, not about being able to use a sabre safely.
Frankly, saying that was highly pedantic. Simple answer is as I said above. If two hostile force users meet, it is their lightsabre skills that will decide the issue- that answers the spirit of the question.
