Force-activation represented an uncommon alteration to a lightsaber, drawing inspiration from ancient methods first developed by the Infinite Empire and employed by their Force Hounds in the creation of Forcesabers. This modification enabled the user to ignite their lightsaber through the power of the Force. Consequently, the conventional activation button was eliminated from the lightsaber's hilt. The purpose of this removal was to hinder individuals lacking Force sensitivity from being able to turn on the lightsaber. Due to the Infinite Empire's deep connection with the Dark Side, their Forcesabers were designed to function exclusively when the wielder channeled the Dark Side of the Force as their primary energy source for activation, which presented a challenge for Force-sensitive individuals not aligned with their ideology to use the weapons.
