But that's just it, we see no evidence of an Armature or anything. You figure there would at least be a body. As to the Hover-Car, that makes no sense. Saren had to be near the Conduit to Park the Car there to begin with, so how come we see him walking towards the Conduit at the beginning of the Illos level? As to the safety function, that is just pure speculation and sounds like an a**-pull from the developers if I ever saw one (if they went ahead with that idea though).

Unfortunately, I'm leaning towards "cuz PLOTZ!".
