This is a video documenting Youtuber HeroTech’s effort to build a realistic lightsaber replica capable of extending and retracting with the push of a button (pervious iteration HERE), and fitting everything inside a Graflex 1:1 scale hilt. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. The blade even spins while extended to give it that realistic

This is a video of Sith cosplayer Kurt Mannebach, who has a nifty trick to make his lightsaber hover around him when thrown for EXTRA dark lord flair. And that trick, obviously, is actually being able to harness the Force. And my mom said it wasn’t real! View this post

Constructed by Youtube channel HeroTech, this is a lightsaber that extends and retracts in a manner that looks convincingly like the real (fictional) thing.

Because who doesn’t have dreams about wielding a lightsaber (even my girlfriend has nightmares about me swinging one around in the garage), the builders at Hacksmith Industries have created a 4,500ºF plasma torch lightsaber that’s entirely self contained (no external tubes or wires).

Using a “hard to acquire” laser diode (I suspect the black market was heavily involved), Youtuber styropyro went and built what is allegedly the world’s brightest laser pointer. Based on that photo alone, I’m apt to believe him. The green laser is so bright “you need welder’s goggles to be

This is a video of two Nebraskan sousaphone players at Bennington High School (which apparently had no problem lifting their mascot from the University Of Wisconsin) having a lightsaber duel, and providing the appropriate lightsaber sound effects with their instruments. That’s fun. Way funner than anything I did in high

This is a short demonstration of a retractable blade lightsaber Disney has been cooking up for use during its Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser two-night stay, all-immersive adventures at Disney World Resort starting in 2022. Admittedly, that thing looks pretty slick. Will all visitors get to wield one? They better, and
