Probably some stupid questions but...

Can a training lightsaber be used to reflect?

When using move to throw a damaging object I know the difficulty is set by the silhouette of what you are throwing but does range apply as well?

Thanks

Uh... I don't see why a training lightsaber couldn't be used to reflect.

I believe the only difficulty on the Discipline roll is the silhouette.

Unless the weapon description specifies differently I'd assume that it can do all the things a regular lightsaber can do.

A training lightsaber is still a lightsaber, and thus qualifies for the Reflect talent. There's also film canon evidence of this, as in AotC when Obi-Wan goes to see Yoda about the planet Kamino not being in the Jedi archives, Yoda is teaching a class of younglings, who are all presumably using training lightsabers to practice blast-deflect training with remotes similar to what Luke practiced against in ANH.

As for Move, the difficulty is based solely upon the object's Silhouette. The standard difficulties for ranged attacks doesn't apply as the Force user needs to purchase and activate Range Upgrades to affect anyone past Short Range.
