I particularly believe that lightsabre is more or less useless if one does not posses the ability to use force.
Which would make sense, if the lightsaber could only be activated by a Force-sensitive. However, most lightsabers can be activated with an old-fashioned push of a button. Han even uses one to cut open a tauntaun.
I think too many people put too much importance on the lightsaber as a Jedi weapon. It's a glowing energy sword, plain and simple, not the Ark of the Covenant.
I think you missed the point. I don't want any technological limitation. It is just that if a non force-sensitive used lightsabre to fight someone with a blaster, he would stand no chance.
It only make sense to use it when one possesses force power to predict opponents actions and blaster fire, and augment the strength and speed to be able to deflect it.
