I just noticed, your Mace Windu sabre has a blue blade, surely it should be purple no? and where are Yoda's, Dooku's and Palp's?

i disagree carnage.
a jedi must use the force to weild a lightsaber, in order to block laser blasts and whatnot. they can see things before they happen, and thats why they are
so good at it, as quigon put it. as far as turning the thing on, in itself its just another weapon. its a cool idea though, having to use the force to ignite it. kinda like a safety mechanism in case it fell in the wrong hands.as far as turning on a saber, people can argue that luke used the force when he turned his saber on (utter nonsense, but how do you prove them wrong?).
the proof is in one man: han solo. he turned the saber on, so it must be a switch.
Well, you may need to be force sensitive to use it well (Deflect blaster bolts, etc. However if I'm a common rogue, I'm trying to get one. At the very least I can use it to pick locks pretty easily. If someone catches you, you can at least throw the light sabre at them. In other words, it seems they could be a quite handy tool for the average joe.

I know,i didnt make it. Ive been meaning to ask PVS if he can fix it for me though...>cough< >cough<......i think its just that the names are backwards. I think it was made after TPM so that maight be why Yoda's isnt on there.
I remember Samuel L Jackson in an interview (forget the TV show) around the time Phantom Menace came out. He said he keeps getting pesterred by fans who ask him how a lightsaber turns on:
Fan: "So how do you switch on the lightsaber?"
Jackson: "There's a button"
Fan: "But don't you use the force?"
Jackson: "No, button".

Those are pretty much Liam Neeson's words when interviewed by Clive James. You sure you not mixing that up? Windu wasn't getting much coverage around the time of TPM, after all.
i dont know why neeson/jackson even bothered to answer such a stupid question. should have went like this:
Fan: "So how do you switch on the lightsaber?"
Neeson: "There's a button"
Fan: "But don't you use the force?"
Neeson: "look, i really dont do anything, i just stand there holding it and the ILM people just animate the blade igniting...thats all there really is to it"
Fan: so if you dont press a button...then you must be using the force
Neeson: *grabs fan by the shirt collar and smacks him in the face repeatedly*\
THERE IS NO FORCE!!! *SMACK* THERE ARE NO LIGHTSABERS!!! *SMACK*
THERE ARE NO JEDI!!! *SMACK* IT DOESNT MATTER!!! *SMACK*
