How did people ever get confused to the point where they think the Force has anything to do with the operation of light sabers? I've heard people say the Force activates it, shapes it, whatever. It's just tech. You only need the force to safely wield it. It is massless and saber against saber strikes cause intense backlash that you otherwise can't control. And of course you need the Force to block blaster bolts and stuff. Although in traditional pen and paper star wars you need the force to just swing a lightsaber safely. Non force sensitive users have a percentage chance to remove a limb :P
