I don't recall the movie saying that light sabres are powered by the Force,
although was left with that vague impression.  However, I later read
(in either one of the Star Wars books or the comic book) a scene
in which Luke uses the power pack from someone's unused blaster to
recharge his light sabre.  Perhaps the Force is a component of the
light sabre's "light", I don't know; but apparently not a power source.
