May the fourth be with you: Company now selling real lightsabers
 
Tweet 
In a very smart marketing move, a tech company has announced a
real(ish), working light saberâ€"perfect timing, considering today
is Star Wars Day.
The folks at Wicked Lasers  have created what they affectionately call
the LaserSaber, which is a pretty obvious homage to the lightsabers made
famous in George Lucas' Star Wars films.
So how does it work  ?
LaserSabers are energized by the light of Wicked Lasers, harnessing the
power of the force. The LaserSaber features an ultra smooth magnetic
gravity system that can "power up" and "power down" the blade.
The LaserSaber maintains its radiant brilliance even when the lights are
on. The LaserSaber is interchangeable and will attach to any Spyder 3
model. The aircraft grade aluminum hilt ensures secure attachment of the
blade. Due to the extreme powers of the Spyder 3, only operate while
wearing LaserShades in a controlled environment.
The only downside? Between the laser and the saber mechanism, it'll cost
you a cool $400 to start chopping off hands.
But the device is absolutely awesome, and the effects look to be about
the closest anyone has ever gotten to making a real lightsaber.

That is badass. I have seen fixed tube models before, this looks a bit
different.
