May The Force Be With You

'THIS is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.'

So said Obi Wan Kenobi, and every boy growing up in the 1970s thought 'I've got to get me one of those!'

Now I have.

Yes, I look like an idiot, but an idiot with his own lightsaber!

I picked up mine from Firebox online, but they're available all over now.

Mine ended up sitting on a shelf for most of the time, but every now and again, when the mood takes me, it's saber time! (At least until my wife tells me to stop)

Great vid! Reminds me of when my brother got one for Christmas back in the 70s - it was just a sort of flimsy fluorescent light tube with a torch at one end. I was v. jealous and so made my own with another torch and a roll of clear plastic sheet!
