Ah, I haven't read all the comics so I don't know the scene in question. I can understand the worry of the comics doing it wrong.

Reading the Crimson Corsair and Lost Treasure of Count Dooku. Minor Spoilers for the short ebook Ahead:

Lightsaber crystals are considered an extremely rare treasure worth a fortune. It's a bunch of Saber crystals that Pirates expect is the Treasure of Count Dooku.

This is in the TFA time period though.

Same holds true in the clone wars era if anyone remembers the youngling arc.

The only non-Force Users to use lightsabers effectively were Pre Vizsla and, probably, Finn, that I know of.

There's also Ku Vrat (he used a lightsabre pike) and Sint Yoru who tried to use a lightsaber against Cade Skywalker. True Cade cut him down easily but two things:

A) Cade is an absolute duelling master

B) Sint was a professional killer. He wouldn't have used a weapon he was utterly inept with.

In Legends it's outright stated mastery of the Force is needed to master it.

Being able to wield a weapon adequately in combat does not make one a master with said weapon.

How does that address my point at all?

You said "Han used a lightsaber." You completely ignored the fact that all he did was cut open a dead animal's belly. That's hardly comparable to using it in actual fighting.

I could cut open a dead animal's belly with a sword. Does that mean I know how to use a sword?

No.

Oh yea, another non-force user example-

Baron Tagge, in the old Marvel comics.

He trained heavily with a lightsaber and got really good with it even, it just proved to not be enough against Luke with the force. But he still put up a good fight, even initially holding the edge against him, til Luke's force senses proved too overwhelming an advantage.

Isn't Sint the guy that was cut down immediately after he confronted Cade with a lightsaber? In a single strike?

Yeah that was him.

Like I said though he was up against Cade Skywalker, one of the best duellists of his era. Cade himself even commented "the only difference between us is skill." It wasn't that Sint was utterly useless, Cade was just vastly better than him.

Again, Sint was a professional killer. Do you really think he would have tried to use a weapon if he couldn't handle it at all?

To clarify, I'm NOT trying to claim that Sint was an expert with a lightsabre, just that he could use it in a fight.

What the ****? I was responding to someone that said others have mastered the saber in the EU. Do you just reply without reading?

I apologise if I offended you. When I'm trying to clarify a general point (i.e. the difference between simply using a weapon and being a master/expert with it) I sometimes pick any post that seems to pertain to that point. It was not intended as any kind of slight or attack.

If I recall correctly, I seem to remember part of the emphasis of force-users only using light-sabers being because the blade weighs nothing, and thus a non-force-sensitive was more likely to end up cutting themselves up by trying to be fancy with the saber like a force-user. No doubt they could use it in a very reserved and conservative "style" however a force-users senses would allow them to always know where their blade was even with no weight signalling as such. Thus a reason for vibroblades and the like. A real-world equivalent also comes in the form of actual people, mostly children, who swing even sticks around and smack their own head/hands/fingers all the time, much less being asked to use a bright, flashing-when-in-rapid-motion, weightless beam of death.

Look, speaking as someone who's used swords? The 'no weight = no feeling of where it is,' stuff is, like, pretty bunk for trained people.. That's not how you judge where your weapon is once you have a grasp of it.

See, I trained with Kung Fu weapons (which probably didn't turn me into a super badass or anything, but heck, it was *fun*), and whenever we so much as tapped ourselves with *any* weapon (wood training ones), the Master made us do 10 jump-squats. This gets you learning where your blade is and isn't really

And on the odd occasion, we'd train without weapons since it took time for everyone to get them all. And of course, at home I don't always have *room* to swing it around, or if I'm somewhere other than home and want to practice. And if I messed up, even empty handed with a phantom blade, my brain would immediately send me the 'crap, jumpsquats' signal ^^

When I started out, sure, it'd be a horrible idea to use a live lightsaber blade, but now? I could literally dual-wield lightsabers with my eyes closed and feel confident of not cutting myself while chopping stuff up left, right, and center and moving around.

Plus I read an interesting bit of neural-science. If you tell someone to point to the middle of their forearm with their eyes closed, they will of course get it right. *Unless* you've had them poking stuff with a short stick or something for awhile, in which case, they will point further up the arm, around the mid-point between the elbow and the end of the stick. The brain, interestingly enough, does start to treat tools as extensions of your body. Weird, huh?
