Re: Light-sabres and blasters

Maybe light-sabres are more expensive than blasters?  Or maybe it
costs more (money, time, talent) to train people in light-sabre than
in blaster?

Or perhaps light-sabres are more sporting (you can run from them, sometimes)
and not appropriate for the Empire to use.

Or maybe you can learn to use the Force from light-sabre training, and
the Empire doesn't want ten billion grunts running around with 
moderate skill in the Force.  Who knows?  Maybe one of them will be
stronger than Darth Vader.

Bard, whom the Force is not with.
