All advanced melee weapons but the lightsaber require power cells to operate. For non Lightsabers these last about an hour of continual use before requiring recharge or replacement. Generally cost +2 for each, +0 for a set of 5 and weight ½lb each. Lightsaber crystals last for years.

'''''Lightsabers'''''</br>
Without the Jedi Trainee edge an attacker is at -2 to Fighting and -1 to its Parry. Lightsabers ignores all non-Force Field Armor Points and the Hardness Rating of items is halved. Targets are considered unarmed unless they are wielding a lightsaber or a weapon that can "Parry lightsabers" (via weapons or powers).

Lightsabers are not mass produced, but rather constructed by each Jedi (or Sith) as part of their training. The art of constructing a lightsaber is carefully guarded by both Orders, although one could be constructed from generic parts purchasable on most planets for +0 price depending on the locale and availability. This price includes all but the most important part: the crystal. The lightsaber crystal affects the length and color of the blade, and rare ones may provide other bonuses as well (GM’s call). The modern Jedi usually goes on a quest to find his first. A Jedi or Sith may construct several lightsabers over the course of a lifetime, each reflecting changes in his personal taste and abilities. Construction of a lightsaber requires at least Veteran Rank and usually takes around a month of dedicated work once all of the parts have been assembled, although it could be completed in less time if the builder is very good. This requires a Focus skill check with a month work. A -1 to the check can shave off a week of time, -2 for only requires two weeks or -4 to make the check in just one weeks’ time. Constructing one’s own lightsaber grants a +1 bonus to Fighting but only for you.
