The Star Wars movies kind of painted the Sith as evil, unredeemable monsters. But between blowing up planets and wiping out the Jedi, even Darth Vader and the Emperor must need some R&R time, and presumably that involves the occasional BBQ where these lightsaber tongs would be invaluable. In a space station the size of the Death Star, there has to be a deck somewhere, right?

If you had to pinpoint one common feature of all the backup batteries on the market, it would probably be their uninspired brick-like form factor. There are exceptions, though, but none as elegant and civilized as Brando’s new lightsaber-themed portable backup battery.

If a lightsaber can turn a drunken bar brawl into what appears to be an elegant duel, imagine what it could do for the thumb wrestling matches

A Jedi’s hooded cloak is a great way to keep the sun out of their eyes, but on scorching hot days, especially on planets like Tatooine with two suns, it has to be unbearable under there.

Imagine a world where light sabers are real. Totally awesome, yeah? All fun and games, right? But not really when a baby gets his hands on a light saber. When they start waving things around, you’re at their mercy. Fingers, homes, human bodies and anything else are just in the way. More »
Want to have your own lightsaber? You can buy a Star Wars kit or a LaserSaber, or you can make your own. But you definitely shouldn’t take note of Philip Isherwood’s store, Saberforge. Because he doesn’t make lightsabers. No sir. I mean just look at this one:
Clearly not a lightsaber. And because there’s no existing term that can accurately describe these strange, light-up sabers, Isherwood named them Battle Sabers. They are made from aircraft-grade aluminum and contain very powerful LEDs; some of the designs also have leather grips or embellishments. The blade itself is made of polycarbonate and is removable.
If you’re interested in role-playing wars fought among the stars, head to Saberforge’s store on Etsy, where the Battle Sabers are sold for $129-$449 (USD). Note that some of the sabers also have sound modules, though for the life of me I can’t imagine what sound they would make.
