| As the topic says, i wonder how a lightsaber get there power and does the jedi have to reload the power of their saber or will it work a lifetime or two? i have never seen any wiki or any other post on how a saber get powered, maybe any guildies here knows. |

| "The components are fairly simple. Every lightsaber has a standard power source, the same type used in small blasters, even in glowpanels. They last a long time, though, because Jedi should rarely use their lightsabers... [] One of the other crucial pieces is a focusing crystal. The most powerful and sought-after gems are rare Kaiburr crystals. However, though lightsabers are powerful weapons, their design is so flexible that practically any kind of crystal can be used."

| Yes, as Aiden said, they are powered like a blaster. To my knowledge, the blade is just an elongated blaster shot, held together through the force. Which is why in lore, only Jedi use sabers. In the movies though, Han Solo used Luke's lightsaber to cut and gut a Taun-Taun for them to keep warm in. But that was before Star Wars became the awesome phenomenon it is, and actually had lore. | |

| As I understand, a lightsaber generates a field that contains the power emitted by the energy source, not the Force. The reason why only Jedi use lightsbaers is because they are insanely difficult to to use, usually requiring the enhanced agility and sense the Force grants. | |

| Really the heart of any lightsaber, the crystal energy chamber is responsible for primary energy conversion. At least two crystals (typically of the Adegan variety) are used in the energy chamber. The first crystal is known as the primary crystal. It converts the energy channeling from the power assembly and then transfers its output to one or more focusing crystals. The focusing crystals are held in place by the focusing crystal activator. The crystal energy chamber is the reason why all lightsabers are built by hand, and then only in the latter stages of Jedi training. The builder must align the crystals perfectly or risk detonation of the lightsaber upon activation. Only through the use of the Force can the proper alignment be guaranteed |
