There are two major reasons why non-force users aren't seen using the light saber. The first I think is often exaggerated because of various lazy references in the literature which can no longer assumed to be part of the new cannon. There are early references to the "gyroscopic" effect making it difficult to use a blade but frankly I think the original movies themselves undercut this notion because of the ease with which Han uses one to cut open the TaunTaun and the ease with which Luke waves one around [LINK] in the first movie. I think if there were really was a gyroscopic effect going on we would see some kind of difficulty in controlling it. The counter that Luke is force sensitive is ve

Legends There are depictions in Legends of Force users manipulating microscopic objects. One example is Darth Plagueis' manipulation of midi-chlorians in order to resurrect a person: On the same day [Plagueis and Sidious] had allowed Venamis to die. Then, by manipulating [Venamis'] midi-chlorians, which should have been inert and unresponsive, Plagueis had resurrected him. Darth Plagueis , p. 279 We know that midi-chlorians are microscopic because we are told that Midi-chlorians are a microscopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace Another example, as mentioned in the comments by @BMWurm, is Cilgh

Disney Canon: The construction of a lightsaber requires pinpoint precision, as seen in the Clone Wars episode, "The Gathering" Additionally, Luke addresses the skill required in the Force when constructing a lightsaber in the new canon book "Heir to the Jedi" : aligning those crystals by hand would be impossible - I sensed that it had to be done with the Force, and only through the Force would I know whether it was aligned properly or not. They were wafer-thin slices of crystal, too, a beautiful clear amethyst, and might scratch or cloud with handling. Moving them precisely with the Force would ensure that they remained pristine.
