I think the fact that Darth's saber is red and Luke's and
Ben's are blue/white is a VERY strong hint that the sabers
ARE powered by the force.  Hell, just because there's an
on button doesn't mean it's not powered by the force.  After
all, if it was powered by the force and there were no button,
it would be on ALL THE TIME!  Now, I don't know about you,
but I sure down want that thing on and bouncing up and down
while I running (or even walking)!  Nice way to amputate your
own leg.  What does this all mean?  If the light saber is
powered by the force, then Han sure has the force with him,
leading to Han as the other.
