So the flavor text suggests that the character does not use explosives but instead uses force powers; however, she has abilities like satchel charge and grenades?
Which is this 'meant' to be, force powers or explosives? I'm asking for the purpose of creating a fictionally sound custom of this character.

Rather than create a new ability for using a saber to cut through a door, they just gave them Satchel Charge.

Kind of what I thought; thanks for confirming.
Also thank you Sithborg for such quick responses!

"Hey friend, you have a lightsaber why don't you cut that sucker open." "What this? noooo just to fight Sith. Doesn't work on doors."

I think this issue is fanwanked away easily enough.
-Maybe burning through a blast door with a saber is slow (ep I) so not viable for intense combat scenarios
-Maybe the doors have cortosis plating :p
- Or just count how many times you can swing a lightsaber at Chewbacca without him dying and realize you are overthinking the lightsabers
My point is, lightsabers seem pretty globally underpowered in this game. Not just with doors.

Isn't there like a 'Master Slicer' force power or something, that allows you to move through doors?

It is a special ability that refers to "Slicing" which is essentially hacking a computer or door terminal in Star Wars speak. http://www.bloomilk.com/SpecialAbility?Id=511http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Slicer

to me the flavor text sounded like we had a kamikaze jedi on our hands!
