On reflection this ability to remote-activate a lightsaber (no matter whether it's Snoke or Rey or Kylo doing it) is also a bit of a dangerous precedent from a world-building point of view. Reminds me a bit of Magneto's ability to pull the pins on every grenade a SWAT team is carrying in terms of the "risk of immolation by someone psychically tinkering with your equipment" stakes.
I suppose it makes slightly more sense in an RPG because of the standard "You can't muck with equipment other people are carrying without at least a saving throw involved" rule (so Snoke's crucial error would be not to be actually holding the lightsaber). I've always found that rule itself a bit of a cop-out, mind. "Yes, we want mage hand, but no, we don't want you using it to thief weapons out of people's backpacks".
But I'm prone to searching for amusingly lethal uses of spells / powers (Wall Of Force vs. flyers is never not hilarious, but should probably be considered an evil act...)
