I'm no star wars freak, but damn these look cool.

If they did damage, I'd sign up for one of these babies for sure. Being a lightsabre wielding armed robber would be cool fun.

this old comix store i use to buy from the guy was a real star wars nut and he had an original star wars ligt sabre they only made like 500, he also had s***loads of rare star wars toys, but his ligth sabre was very cool

housed inside an indestructible polycarbonite tube.

I rekon I could find a way to destroy it :D

some navy guys in america made a real one with a laser.
except it needed to be plugged in to a big power thing and so it was not portable.

oh yeah? well i am the proud owner of the lightsabre princess leia used for masturbation.

farq yeah. i want one :D

You've spent too much time around the AJ's Strex :p

/me squeals with delight like a true fan boy

Sweet jesus, the ones here cost $1800 US

I'm gonna make a cool hilt one-day, when I get motivated enough...

Goa'uld

as much as i would like to beleave u, that's not possible.
unless the laser blade kept going and didnt stop. therefore basicly juz a laser that looked like a laser sword/light sabre.

a 'real' light sabre uses a crystal not found on earth. 3 of them, tightly cut and only a jedi or a user of the force and place them exactly in line with out them blowing up in ur face the first time u turn em on.

bcoz u hav to FEEL and kno exactly where and y how these crystals r placed.

u can use different coloured crystals for diff coloured blades obvesously. therefore thats how the diff colours com about.

theres more to it obveously, but thats the basics apart from it using a high powered electrical pulse thats forced into the crystals.

this fine placement of the crystals also involve having them tightly snuggled up so they dont move.

enough time spent typing s***.

hahahahahah

I'll remember all that when I'm making mine fuknukle :p

ha, i would rather get a sorwd made buy them company whcih looks like a legend of zelda sorwd know that would be mad

Sorry to bump this thread, but I read a lot about lightsabres yesterday. And I have valuable info to add, plus I need to address someone who accused me of lying on this thread.

The device they built had a hyperbolic mirror that extended outwards from the hilt when the device was turned on. It's still quite lame, as it didn't cut through anything, and probably actually didn't look like a real saber blade.

That's proposterous, and not according to any canonical source. You've been reading too many of those books that make up facts. The description of the lightsabre given in the ANH novel is of one of these early one-handed types. The book details several PURELY DECORATIVE "jewelled" control devices on the hilt. It is almost certainly a mis-reading of this line has lead to the persistent misapprehension that sabres have crystals as their core operating component. (from here) Actually that site is quite interesting, have a surf around on it.

Of course it's all fictional, the real science behind solid energy blades doesn't exist yet, as explained by this article.

Have a look at this page, it has a detailed description of why it's implausible that crystals either power or generate the blade. It also explains why a lightsabre isn't an optical device, like a laser.

I found some sabers yesterday which use a plasma tube, and the guy reckons they look very similar to the real solid energy devices. But they don't really. clicky

here are some pics of home-made sabers.

And here is a site detailing how to make your own lightsabre.

That's one of the plasma tube ones.

Those things like f***ing awesome. If I had a s***load of money (which I don't) I'd definately buy one. Be a great collectors item.

Lightsabers on starwars.com

Those who believe the Jedi order began on the ancient world of Ossus point to the abundance of Adegan crystals in the system as proof. These crystals are ideal for the creation of lightsabers, as they focus the energy released from a saber's power cell into the tight, blade-like beam.

and

The blade's color depends on the nature of the jewel it springs from, and while its length is fixed in the case of a single jewel lightsaber, lightsabers equipped with multiple crystals can have their length varied by rotating a knob that allows the focusing crystal activator to subtly modify the refraction pattern between the gems.

:)

StarWars.com is wrong. Even the terms they use to describe how the energy beam is generated don't apply to anything but optical physics.

How can u say Starwars.com is wrong! They are the people the make this whole thing up so I think they can do whatever they want.

It also explains why a lightsabre isn't an optical device, like a laser.

For starter you wouldn't be able to parray if they were.

Im with the gem idea....ive heard that its the way they make em

uve heard thats the way they make em in a fantasy movie?

He can say they are wrong, because he actually believes that. He's really quite stupid.

For starters, StarWars ain't f'n real.

gobo you f***ing SAVAGE, the correct spelling of LIGHTSABER is LIGHTSABER.

Lightsabre
Lightsabre
Lightsabre
Lightsabre :P
just for your entertainment trog.

but seriously, americans would spell it Lightsabre and australians would spell it Lightsaber right??

I don't know, check your Concise Oxford English dictionary for your localised spelling. Oh, its a made up thing? Hmm... maybe we should just spell it the way Lucas does, and forget about it!@# If we don't, then he might put jarjar back in episode 3 just to f*** with us.

The correct spelling is Lightsabre, according to the original script and novel. Although the Americanised version "Lightsaber" is now accepted too.

StarWars.com don't make starwars. It's run by a guy who was employed because he is a fan. He gets most of his information from the visual encyclopedia books produced about star wars.

Lucas himself said that while there are many official sources of information for the star wars universe, only 3, the movies, novels, and radio plays, are canonical. The movies superseed any contradiction, and should be taken as gospel.

There is another thing that exists in the merchandise (including the books, and the website). That is that the official (but not canonical) sources shouldn't contradict each other. So if a toy company says that Yoda's lightsaber looks like a penis, then all related merchandise, must play along with this, until it's disproven by the movie.

StarWars.Com has been known to be wrong about a number of things, like the spelling of Lightsabre.

Then they can change it. StarWars.com is, as far as I'm concerned, the official resource for Star Wars stuff. You don't see the spelling of lightsaber in the movie, and the script, well, duh.

So what if it's official? It's not canon! The star wars lego playset was official too, that doesn't mean Endor has little bumps all over it so you could stick your ewoks on.

haha, his is the way of the force. u must feel it b4 judging apon it. for this is the way in light and future. this is ur knowledge, this is ur being.

feel the force, live the force. b one with the force.

the lightsabre refered to in the movies, is of course how the lightsabres look and are.
the official books especially the latest ones(from 96 onwards) are written within Georges spefications. they are read b4 released and edited and changed if it doesnt fit or he doesnt like them.

luke about 12 yrs afta the destruction of the death star made another light sabre. and of course the player u play as in JK2 also made a light sabre howeva this wos a few yrs b4 hand.

these are the makings of a TRUE lightsabre, not these lookalikes by these mere non jedi. they cannot b called lightsabres since they are not made or act the way a 'lightsabre' should. not a true lightsabre. therefore they arnt lightsabres but somthing similar. lightsabre refers to the weapon of a user of the force, a jedi or sith.

StarWars.com don't make starwars. It's run by a guy who was employed because he is a fan. He gets most of his information from the visual encyclopedia books produced about star wars.

-the fan is now employeed by starwars. therefore it is run by 'starwars' as u call it. he gets his info from everywhere including insiders of starwars. most of the jedi in the Q's and A's are from starwars.

we are of course refering to the lightsabres in the starwars movies. therefore anything written by any being in this earth has no relavence to how to make or use or say anyhting about how some thing in starwars should or shouldnt be.

bcoz u cant say something is not gonna work, technology will advance, as will our knowledge of the force :D

A sabre (saber : both accepted spelling) is a curved cavalty sword so they are ALL WRONG !@#!@#! STUPID 'GALAXY FAR-FAR AWAY , LONG TIME AGO' imaginary knob'eds.

aaaahhhahahaha yaz are arguing the spelling of something thats imaginary !

ah i feel the homosexuality is strong in this one

I saw this StarWarz light sabers n s*** back on Sagamers.com about 2 months ago... little old. I thought sagamers was slow with their news :S

AHAHAHAHAHA good one taco

pfft, I settle for Jubeis katana from ninja scroll any day

Id f*** you laser fluro boys up real nice

gimme an isis dagger

sif.

i liked zaratul as a name more than greazy.

unless you copied zaratul's sig.

Let me ask a question....

What in the name of god would you do with it?

StreX can't answer :P

Both these are gay, the lightsaber was a regular weapon "once widely used throughout the galaxy" but the jedi adopted it cause they kicked ass with it and used it as a symbol of their skill its not a Jedi-only weapon just that most people like Han would prefer a good blaster at their side becuase they lack skillz

This page that Goa'uld mentioned throws around some pretty nifty ideas, check em out if you have got the time/have no life

lol someone actually agreeing with Goa'uld
wot is the world coming too


all this talk about starwars makes me wanna go play JK2

Speaking of Star Wars, a Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast demo is being released May 10th US. (So about saturday 11th here)

It will contain a new level not previously available in retail release.

FFS I'm LMAO here. It's a movie, a kids movie even and there is about to be blood shed over whether a make believe weapon uses make believe crystals to make believe power it or not.

I've gotta say thanks guys. This was the best laugh I've had in ages. And I must admit some of those replica sabres do look cool :)

Laugh it up fuzzball :P
