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.
