Lightsaber Throw

Duration: Instant

Area of Effect: Player arc

Energy Cost: 3+ points (more points are spent the longer it is thrown)

Effect: Jedi can throw his lightsaber and use it as a missile weapon.

Sample Lightsaber Throw

Rank 1 - Lightsaber flies straight from the okayer and returns.

Rank 2 - Jedi can exert minimal control over the flying lightsaber, as it arcs out, but the lightsaber still returns directly to the player.

Rank 3 - Jedi can exert great control over the lightsaber in the air.

The Lightsaber Throw move is a godsend. The main problem with the lightsaber is that you can only attack at close range. While you still can't throw the lightsaber very far, this move at least allows for some projection of the weapon.

The Lightsaber Throw is helpful in hitting enemies, but remember that you're vulnerable to fire while it's out. Try to hit multiple enemies at once for maximum effectiveness; this gets easier to do as you get the ability to control the movement of the lightsaber.

The Lightsaber Throw isn't very useful against Reborn or Shadow Troopers, since they can block is fairly easily. Only use it against them if they have also thrown their lightsaber and can't block.
