Ever Want to Build Your Own Lightsaber? TOO LATE – This Guy Did It First

While it’s not a real lightsaber, because those are fantasy and scientifically impossible, this guy does a pretty nice job of building his own version of the display-only lightsabers.

This is the one that started it all for me and illuminated lightsabers. This is the Obi Wan Kenobi Episode IV “A New Hope” lightsaber. The offerings from Master Replicas and Hasbro have that extra fat windvane piece that is pretty much meh.

So I decided I needed to make myself one out of the most accurate reproductions of the vintage parts, or the vintage parts themselves. I set out to make the most screen accurate ANH Obi saber I could, and here is my build log for it.

Wow, get a life dude.

But seriously, I commend this nerd-bro for his dedication to hand making something that I could just buy on amazon for like $120. (Not that I would even waste that on a stupid nerd toy when I could buy this.)

    Here's the sad thing NASA is working on forcefields, which if successful they will be able to use it in conjunction with a light saber to stabilize the laser…I totally just sounded like a nerd.
