The Custom Saber Shop forum member Eastern57 made a lightsaber that would be at home in Patton Oswalt’s Star Wars universe. It’s a lightsaber decked in Shellhead’s winning crimson and gold colors. But Eastern57 didn’t stop with the paint job. He also incorporated another Iron Man trademark: the arc reactor.

In one of his YouTube videos, Eastern57 said that the lightsaber is based on a toy replica of Galen Marek aka Starkiller’s lightsaber. The arc reactor is mounted in an inner chamber that is revealed by twisting the hilt’s upper half.

The lightsaber also plays back sound bites from the Iron Man movies, as well as some of the songs from its soundtrack.

A lightsaber that plays AC/DC? This ain’t your daddy’s saber. Oh wait. It is your daddy’s lightsaber. Check out Eastern57′s thread on The Custom Saber Shop or his Photobucket gallery for more images of the lightsaber.

Twitter’s still tweaking its #Music app for iOS, currently the only mobile platform that’s privy to the discovery service. Previously, users could only toggle through four categories (i.e., Popular, Emerging, Suggested and #NowPlaying) to stumble upon artists and tracks of interest. But as of today, Twitter’s updating the app’s filter, adding genres, like Metal, Country, Dance and all the predictably labeled rest to Charts so you can “get hip-hoppy” (it’s in the changelog) or get your Bieb on or make jazz hands to the sounds of that Rihanna. The new version 1.1 update also lets users now authenticate Rdio from within the app — no more linking out to Safari — and irons out some known bugs, too. If you’ve already downloaded the app, then just sit back and wait for it to update. First timers can head to the source below for to test out the Twitter-made music assist.
