| Lightsabers: The Weapon of the Jedi Knight |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The mark of the Jedi Knight and only used when all else fails. The Lightsaber is an awsome weapon. An elegant light sword not as glumsy as a blaster. At first glans all lightsabers look the same but, at closer inspection you will see that they are all different and unique just like the Jedi that carries it. Each Jedi will make there own Lightsaber from scratch. With a highly elaberate internal design. Multiple small power cells are stored in the handgrip with microscopic circuitry enables the Jedi to alter the length and intensity of the Blade. Most Padawan learners build thier Lightsabers to resemble those of thier Masters as a sign of respect. The Lightsaber is attached to the belt using a power/recharging port, this is the black button on the base of the lightsaber. One of my lightsabers (the first one I got) is not as big as the average lightsaber this is because it is only to be weilded by one hand. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| My Lightsaber is made from a piece of crome plumbing pipe that you can pick up from any hardware store. The grip is a piece of plastic pipe that has been cut and shaped and them spray painted gold. Parts of the emmiter and the pummel are made from a shower head.Apart from the activation red button and the Covertec black button, everything can be purchased from your local hardware store. It just takes a long time to hunt the bits that you need down. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| You can make a lightsaber relativly cheaply (for about $40with electronics)from plumbing tubing or you can decide to purchase one. Park Sabers make some great lightsabers that have a light up tube. I will be getting one later on. You can always try trusted old Ebay. They usually have some fan made ones on there and some Master Replicas if you want but, the Master Replica ones can be a lot of money. About $300-$400 each. The good thing about the Master Replicas is that they have lights and sound | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is my double Lightsaber. This is a custom made double Lightsaber made from aluminium. This will be awsome for a Fan Film. On this Lightsaber you can attach blades. I will be getting some acrylic blades for it later on. This saber comes to pieces to make two single handed lightsabers just what you need to fight those Dark Lords of the Sith | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is a modification to my double saber. I have added two emmitter shrouds to give it a more Darth Vader feel to it. I made the shrouds from plastic piping and then sprayed them using Plastidip. I think it makes the saber look very cool | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Me in action with this lightsaber. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These are my latest sabers. The one on the left was hand made by myself, the one on the right by Vicky's husband. The only difference between the two is with mine it has a crome covertec button, the front emmiter lights up and my emmitor can be rermoved and a longer one added, it also lights up from the emmiter so, it can also be used as a torch, I will be getting a crome clip button for the other one when I can afford it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is the Covertec belt clip. You can get these off of Ebay for about $10. They come with a small button that you can rivet onto your lightsaber. This will allow you to carry your lightsaber on your belt. And in the Star Wars universe it will recharge your lightsaber when you are not using it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
