Get your own real lightsaber

I always wanted to have one of those lightsabers since the first time that I was watching Star Wars back then when the first movie came out. We used all sorts of replacements like flashlights, sticks and swords to play Star Wars as kids, the rest was done by our imagination. Using those replacements did not make a big difference for us kids but it surely would feel awkward to do this as an adult.

I did rejoice when I found out that someone was actually creating lightsabers and selling them for a great price. The creator is calling them lasersabers instead of lightsabers, probably because he does not want to get sued by Lucasfilms. The pictures and movies show the similarity between the lasersabers and the ones from Star Wars. The only difference is that you can’t melt iron with them of course but everything else looks really realistic.

I should point out that the guy from lasersaber is only producing the hilt for the laser and that the “crystal” has to be bought seperately from another company. The hilt retails at about $100 while lasers seem to start at $100 as well.

    thats pretty cool but the fact that whether the light is on or off there is still that tub there wouldnt it be a good idea to make that part simular to the toy lightsabers where its retractable so to “activate” it you would need to flip the sword a motion you would be doing anyway to activate the light this was just an idea tho

    Hello fellow Jedis,

    I am currently in the process of making light sabers. I have found the elements needed but I am not giving out the secret because the government would steal my idea and take me away. If you want more information, please call me and maybe I can set up a blackmarket deal. My number is xxxxxxxxxxxxx, if I do not pick up please keep trying. May the force be with you.
