Was it just a switch? I thought I remember that they used the force to raise/lower the “blade” which was part of reason the light saber is a weapon only a force user can weild.
My current (possibly wrong) understanding is that jedi keep the planet with the crystals secret, so that not just anyone can go make a saber. On top of that, the Force allows a user to kinda “extend” their perception, which allows for things like reflecting blaster shots, as well as being hyper aware of their personal space during saber duels. So a trained jedi can “see” things like how far a blade is from hitting them, even if they can’t actually see, and that determines how they move.
So it’s more that taking one would be like robbing a special forces soldier, and playing with one would most likely kill or dismember you.

Yeah, that’s more or less how it works.
