That depends on who the writer is. But a helpful equivalent might be to imagine trying to do the same thing to something like a laptop battery. It’s certainly possible, and probably not all that difficult under controlled circumstances. But doing it on a whim, “in the field” is probably difficult to accomplish on purpose, and there certainly isn’t a button you can press to make it happen because that would be incredibly dangerous to have on something you carry with you and use every day.
I guess I don’t know enough about light saber physics to know what kind of modifications you’d have to make. But it’s a least something a rogue could do with it; nothing’s as good as a blaster at your side.

And if that doesn’t work, have your Wookie friend start tearing arms off.
