Must you have one?


Yes, that is exactly what you think it is. It’s Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Lightsaber (How do you know it’s Obi-Wan’s? Because it’s the blue one, silly.). Well, technically it’s not Obi-Wan’s actual Lightsaber, it is merely a “replica”. Every few months Master Replicas (who recently completed their merger with Corgi International Ltd.), has been releasing a new Lightsaber in their Force FX series of high-end replicas. Their site states that it:
Features enhanced glowing blue blade with realistic power-up and power-down light effects. The lighting effects are produced by a string of 64 super-bright LEDs that ignite sequentially inside the blade.
Features five motion sensor controlled sound effects recorded from the movie: power-up, idle hum, swing, clash, and power-down.
Blade has three built-in motion sensors for super sensitivity: 2 for detecting movement and 1 for detecting the impact of the blade.
MASSIVE DISCLAIMER: I swear, I am not one of those “Star Wars nerds” (I never even saw the last two movies.). I do realize that I have gone from a laser post to a lightsaber post in one swail foop, but this was entirely coincidental. This is a toy. The lasers are real. And besides, I stumbled across a link to these entirely by accident, while researching vintage Viewmasters (I know, I’m not helping my cause).
The shame, the shame.
