don't blame ME for breaking the continuum, or being able to quote from the "expanded" universe.
Han Solo does not 'yield' the force!
maybe
you should start calling them LAZERSWORDS though!

In the early incarnations of the Star Wars storyline, lightsabers were not exclusive to the Jedi and other Force-users, but were in fact very mundane. Early concept art depicts lightsabers being wielded by Rebel and Imperial soldiers alike. George Lucas later limited the lightsabers to exclusively the Jedi in order to make them feel more unique, and heighten the mystique of the Jedi.[26] Also, in early drafts of the script, lightsabers were referred to as "lazerswords".
Crystals first appear in Star Wars simply as an embedded decoration on the hilt in the A New Hope novelization.[27] Aside from this single instance, there are no crystals mentioned in any of the movies or their novelizations.[27]

everything changed after Empire Strikes Back. that was the point where Lucas realized that he actually could sell all of his movies. before that, he didn't think that there be anything after "V" (let alone A New Hope). after that, he decided to gain a strangle-hold on content. anything published in books, comics, games, etc. became canon. the most noticeable deviation is Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Minds Eye. THAT book is all kinds of fucked up...
we should talk about the new Star Trek movie and what THAT did to the future-past...
