I'd say unless the situation is heroic enough in which the character would gain a Force Point, that character gains a darkside point

How long would it take to modify a lightsaber, and how difficult should it be? Would it require a quest for new crystals and formulae?

The PCs are currently aboard the DeathStar, sort of limiting my options at throwing things at them. So far I've hurled an ambush of stormcommandos, nogrhi and a suped up Grand Admiral at them. They we ...

Frankly I'd prefer it if they put more ...

Einh. I'm not going to begrudge them simply because theyre not good with strategy or tactics- some people just don't have that 'general's sense' so to speak. That's no reason to penalize them unduly- ...
