It’s perfect for members of the dork side!

For decades, Star Wars fans pretending to be a Jedi have missed one key ingredient in their mock-intergalactic escapades - a realistic-looking lightsaber.

But now they’ve been given new hope after a laser sword, which claims to be the most realistic yet, went on sale.

It would be cool if it powered-down to just the handle, not a clear tube. If only we had the technology now...

Considering the green laser pointers are illegal in Australia I wouldn't expect these to ever come here.

Right, just the thing for members of the dork side. You can't even play with it, so what is the point of having it. I could think of a lot better things to drop 400 bucks on.

Until it can cut someones arm off, it is still a toy and not a lightsaber. Let me know when they get the real deal, otherwise(you geeky journalists) stop creating articles that claim to have a lightsaber which are really just an altered flashlight/laser pointer.
Too many people on both sides of the spectrum have fallen into this mentality that a full one half of the country are the enemy for having different beliefs...in a country based on freedom of expression. It is this infighting that allows the focus to be taken away from "we the people" being able to watch, and have control over government corruption and ineptitude that is running rampant in our leadership.

People should be working towards fixing problems, not creating them.

Just curious, but why are green laser pointers illegal... Is it only green and not other colors?..

Hmmm, I forsee a lot of people ignoring those warnings and a lot of people ending up in the hospital with 'lightsabre' injuries.  You just know people will want to play with them.

The master replicas FX Light Sabres are better, cheaper and they've been around for years. Sequential LEDs and full sound effects.
