I’ve been meaning to post this weeks ago, but somehow other stuff keep coming up and I keep throwing this to the back burner. A serious geek offense, I know, but there were just so many new items that I though this old one would only make people nostalgic, not interested.

Personally, I found this cute because I saw it in Big Bang Theory, my television show du jour. In one episode, Leonard thinks that someone had broken into their apartment and thus emerges from his roomed armed with a light-saber. Technically, he’s using it as a flashlight of sorts, though the way he wields it shows that he’s ready to go Luke Skywalker on the enemy’s ass anytime. Interestingly enough, Leonard is using the green light-saber, which belongs to Yoda.

Licensed replicas can be yours. Visit Think Geek to get your own light-saber. The power down sound effect is so totally worth it.

[This post is dedicated to Zriz, who wants a light-saber of her own.]
