As for Yoda, for his size, we could conclude a similarly scaled version of that attachment as well, whereas a similarly sized hilt built by a humans sized person would be without the attachment in question.

Screw your conclusions. You haven't been able to conclude yourself out of a wet paper bag. If you want to argue RAW, show me RAW or admit that you're just making stuff up (which you are perfectly allowed to do if you don't call it RAW).

...While discussing the crafting rules from Endless Vigil earlier in the same answer, so he's perfectly aware of them. So, by the devs, "two-handed" does not mean "only and always this amount of hands, no exception", but feel free to argue that "one handed" does.

**** it Tramp, even the devs say that you can wield a "two-handed" weapon in one hand. How are you not getting this? Or are you just being willfully ignorant?

House rule it as one handed. You can easily use it in one hand, or you can do two.  Only thing stopping you is if you have no hands.

Exactly. This in abundance.

Tramp made a point of proclaiming "I'll admit I've made a mistake when I am undeniably wrong."  What he doesn't tell you is that his definition of "deniably wrong" seems to be that he is physically capable of saying "I'm not wrong" even if no one else on planet earth believes him.

The reason why the Ranged Heavy passage says “generally” must be wielded with two hands is because there is that one exception with carbines, which are explicitly stated to be usable with one hand at short range. In all other instances, Ranged Heavy weapons require two hands.

Nowhere in he section about heavy weapons does it say that it's about carbines. A throwing spear isn't a carbine either. So now please show me how a spear is thrown in a two-handed grip. Since in your own words "In all other instances, Ranged Heavy weapons require two hands." well a spear is not a carbine, and now it's being thrown with a two-handed grip. Either show how this is done, or admit that you got something slightly wrong.

It does in the FaD Core Rules, but not in at least one of the other two core books, confusingly enough. Which begs the question of which rules Tramp is talking about. I'm thinking Rules As Written By Ur Loveable Little Scamp, Hastily, In Tears.

Someone should come up with an acronym for that.

Tramp has FaD books.  I don't believe that he has books from any other line.

Page 168 of the F&D core rule book, the last sentence under Blaster Carbine specifically says:

Quote

Blaster carbines may be fired one-handed with no penalties at short range, just like heavy blaster pistols. 

As for spears, the only spear I've found stats for, thus far, in any of the books I own, is the Voss War Spear, which specifically uses Ranged Light when being thrown, not Ranged Heavy. This would be true of any spear since throwing a spear specifically requires the use of strictly one hand. The Voss War Spea is also stated to be a one-handed weapon for melee purposes as well.
