Yes. Lightsaber Throw counts as a non-melee attack, so all rules for non-melee apply.

They can't evade it if they are adjacent :p

But can use lightsaber reflect on a lightsaber throw?

I guess yes since it is a non-melee attack.

Evade - Whenever this character is hit by an attack from a nonadjacent enemy, it can avoid the damage with a save of 11.

LS Throw - (Force; 1 Force point) Instead of making its normal attack or attacks, a character using this Force power can make one attack against an enemy within 6 squares, ignoring the Melee Attack restriction. This counts as a nonmelee attack for purposes of effects such as Lightsaber Deflect and Molecular Shielding.

So yes. Evade only says that the attack has to come from a nonadjacent enemy. Even if LS Throw was still technically a melee attack (but it's not, because the glossary says it is a nonmelee attack), you would still be able to evade it, because Evade works on an attack made by a non adjacent enemy. Melee makes no difference.

As Ronson said, if you're adjacent and throw (why would you?), you can't evade it.

LS Throwing at Jarael or any enemy that has block/parry and evade/soresu style is a way to ensure they cannot prevent the damage.

Very clever, didn't think about that.
