Supes seems to need to be in the vicinity of a yellow sun,
not necessarily to be bathed in its light, as he does OK during
Earth nights. It is the lesser gravity of the yellow sun Sol which gives
him his muscular powers ("...able to leap tall buildings ..."),
I don't understand that - college physics said we are effected by 
Earth's gravity primarily. His other powers come from the different
radiation of the yellow sun as compared to the red sun of his homeworld.
OK, but he still seems to have his powers in interstellar space.
I dunno, any help from the net??

Why do you say Supes would stand no chance against a light saber?
Unless he was under a red sun the silly thing couldn't hurt him if it hit 
him, and super-speed and super-reflexes would keep him from getting hit
in the first place.
