I was looking at the Sith Alchemist with the force power Sith Weapon. One of the requirements is for the receiver to not have a light saber. I started looking around and found the special ability Lightsaber Wielder, which is an obvious way for a mini to be considered having a lightsaber. Also, if the figures pose has a light saber I would assume that the character is considered to have one.
What are other ways in determining whether a mini has a lightsaber?

A figure is considered to have a Lightsaber if it has one of the following:
A visible lightsaber on the model (WotC minis) or the picture of the mini on the card (V-Sets)
The Lightsaber special ability
The Lightsaber Wielder special ability
A printed Force Power with the word Lightsaber in the title
This is primarily covered under the glossary definition of "With Lightsabers"

Thanks, I didn't realize there was a section in the glossary about this. One more thing. For characters with weapons similar to lightsabers, such as Lumiya or a Mistryl Shadow Guard, would you just say that they count as a lightsaber, since they are lightwhips? Or do they not count since they don't meet the above requirements.

A lightwhip is not classified as a Lightsaber.

This is primarily covered under the glossary definition of "With Lightsabers" Also wanted to mention that the lightsaber has to be ignited. GMLS has one clipped to his belt, but that would not be enough to count as having a lightsaber. He has a Force power with the word Lightsaber, so he does count as having a lightsaber, but not because of his mini. I believe the Dark Side Enforcer also has a lightsaber clipped to the belt, but does not count as having a lightsaber.
