It was part of the character archetype that I used. I pitched the idea to Craig that I'd like to play a Force-sensitive character that never got the chance to be taught the Force. Basically I gave up the Force skills for extra CP to use in skills. There was a reason that the Lightsaber skill was kept, but I can't recall. I do believe that there's a Lightsaber skill, and a Lightrsaber Combat Force skill. I could guess that Niil was shown the basics of handling one.
