So I need to do something Star Wars today. I'd seen a video recently about
someone that made a real handheld lightsaber. Did I save the link for the
video? Nope. So I went looking and found a few lightsaber videos. I don't know
if any of these were the one I saw but they show more advanced lightsabers
than I'd seen before.
Then here's a longer video of the lightsaber shown near the end of the last
video.
If you make it through both of these videos, you'll get permission to make your own official nerd badge.
And to think, all George Lucas was looking to do was put a Errol Flynn-like swordfight in a sci-fi film.
ReplyDeleteKirk - Little did he know...
ReplyDeleteNo nerd badge for me. That first one looks more like a super sized fancy cigarette lighter.
ReplyDeleteMy nerdiness comes in different fields. Though some days a light sabre would come in handy.
ReplyDeleteRiver - Just don't get too close to your face.
ReplyDeleteSue - There have been many days I could have used a lightsaber and it's a good thing I didn't have one.
I'm sort of an anti-weapon kind of guy...and I'm still seeing cat outlines...everywhere.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Mike, the Fifth is with me today. Sitting on the back porch with a jug of Four Roses, watching the deer and listening to the birds come to life. A day of rest.
ReplyDeleteLightsabers are too wussy for modern Second Amendment zealots, who will go only for heavysabers with huge, high-capacity drum magazines to hold extra supplies of midichlorians. May the fourth be with you.
ReplyDeleteEvery nerd's dream!
ReplyDeleteSimmons - So you're getting an early start for Cinco de Mayo!
ReplyDeleteBill - I guess I should have my midi-chlorian count checked. I wonder if insurance will pay for the test.
Deb - Wet dream.
Cool. Are you going to build one, Mike?
ReplyDeleteOMG - just had to have hubby explain 'May the fourth' 🤔😂 (not really a thing over here!)
ReplyDeleteCC - WHAT! Have you seen any Star Wars movies? If not, there are at least 9 of them you have to watch.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the first three - kinda lost the joke - I was 'why just May the fourth- not Jan the fourth etc- think about it he said - oh yeah - duh 😳)😁
DeleteCC - 😄
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteKathy - I think you need to get two of them, one for you and one for Tony.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked that our Antique Mall did nothing to stimulate Trade for the Star Wars Anniversary!!! They just played the original Movie on the TV behind the Cashiers, yawn... I worked that Evening, I felt having some kind of Star Wars Event that day and prior to it informing all Vendors, if you have anything Star Wars related {many do, it's an Iconic Collectible}, bring it to special areas set up for viewing and buying. They miss so many great opportunities to appeal to the Collectible Market while simultaneously Celebrating something and having a good time. *Le Sigh*
ReplyDeleteDawn - Sounds like they are asleep at the switch most of the time.
