=+ Using the Force to control the lightsaber 'remotely'

[dprijadi]

Is this ability exist / documented in the starwars lore ? a jedi/sith that can use the force , telekineticly / remotely lift his active lightsaber and control it like a flying blade , mowing down enemies and other jedis ?

 

if a non-active lightsaber can be easily pulled by hand , imagine how easy it is to control an active lightsaber via telekinetic force and use it as a ranged weapon..

This was a specialty of Darth Traya, who was known to control three lightsabers through telekinesis, leaving her lone hand free for other applications (like Force Lightning).

 

Saber throw is also a somewhat basic function of telekinetic combat, as the wielder has to throw the saber at its target and pull it back when it hits (or misses, as the case may be).

 

In the RPG, lightsabers can be fitted with "Force switches," which forgo the use of a mechanical switch in order to make the saber turn on and off via the Force (and, thus, making the saber unusable by non-Force users). They also had switch locks, which mechanically kept the switch on the saber from turning off while being thrown.

There have been times where Luke Skywalker has also used the Force to conttrol his lightsaber telekinetically.

Ahh, you beat me to it. It has been a while but wasn't she missing both hands when she controlled the three purple lightsabers?

Well, most SW games do have a "saber throw" attack... I'm going to go play JKA now.
