Exactly. That was the problem that Hethrir's troops ran into in the climax of the Crystal Star.
On a related note, what would be a good security system for a lightsaber? Maybe a biometric grip, so that only the Jedi who is keyed to the saber can activate it?

I could see a Jedi with a high enough computer programming/repair to make a biometric lightsaber grip. In fact... hmmm... nothing like electroshock to the poor guy who tries to activate it.

Just be sure you never want your Padawan to use your lightsaber to defeat that Sith that killed you.  |

I have actually seen a few PC's in our Sparks group go that route.. biometrics on the hilt to prevent another person using it.

WotC!? WotC!? Blasphemy! DEATH to d20! Notify Rebel Security there may be an Imperial spy among us.
My Jedi's kightsaber had a switch which could only be activated with a very easy TK roll. Of course, only he knew it was there. How could another Jedi use it if he didn't know it was there?

WOTC did release other games than their knock off Star Wars. The difficulties do not change cross genre, it's the same in D20 modern, D&D, or any other of their products.

Have the internal on off coded. Maybe a lock like on cell phone screens now. I do like the lightsaber combat turns it on.
But how would han use it in cold weather?

Han couldn't. Therefore obviously Anakin didn't include that feature in his lightsaber because if he had, then Luke wouldn't have survived the night on Hoth, which he (Luke) did. |
