Luke as a normal Jedi didn't wave his hand at Jabba for the mind trick, and levitated C-3PO without his hands or anything else while bound by the Ewoks.  Perhaps those motions make it easier, but they are not a requirement for even non-masters.Sometimes = not required.Because beyond Spock and Katherine Kurtz, these things are very rarely required for psionics and Spock isn't even a Psion, so his don't count.  If you want a Star Trek Psion, look at Talosians from the Menagerie.  They don't use any components for their psionics.</blockquote>
