Kids can imagine their own roleplay duels with Lightsaber Forge electronic Lightsabers, featuring extendable light-up blades and electronic sound effects inspired by the Star Wars Galaxy!

As detailed in a 2004 featurette titled “The Birth of the Lightsaber,” the early sabers consisted of a rotating pole that had reflective tape applied to it, creating the “glowing” effect. Then, using rotoscoping technology, the overlays for the saber colors were added to the film, creating the first lightsaber effect.

Luke's blue lightsaber, also referred to as the Skywalker lightsaber, is still one of the most iconic weapons in Star Wars. First appearing in Lucas' 1977 film that launched the franchise, the blue-bladed lightsaber was originally owned by Luke's father, Anakin Skywalker.

Lightsabers are designed to cut through most materials with ease due to the intense heat and energy of the plasma blade. However, objects with exceptionally high energy conductivity and density can dissipate the lightsaber's heat and energy, effectively resisting its cutting abilities.

George Lucas says lightsabers are heavy In old interviews, including an official behind-the-scenes video called “The Birth of the Lightsaber,” George Lucas makes it clear he conceived of lightsabers as being unwieldy and “heavy” for inexperienced users.

Attaining and wielding a personal lightsaber is a rite of passage in Star Wars, but it's not uncommon for someone to acquire multiple models over time. Luke acquired two notable lightsabers during his arc in the movies, but the character used a third weapon in a recent comic.

Anakin Skywalker carried this blue-bladed Jedi weapon throughout the Clone Wars. After dueling his former apprentice on Mustafar, Obi-Wan Kenobi took Anakin's lightsaber and kept it on Tatooine for nearly two decades. He gave it to Luke Skywalker, who lost it when Darth Vader struck off his son's hand in Cloud City.

So in this galaxy. Don't bring a plasma Tata to a gunfight. Because.

A lightsaber is a fictional energy sword featured throughout the Star Wars franchise. A typical lightsaber is depicted as a luminescent plasma blade about 3 feet (0.91 m) in length emitted from a metal hilt around 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Obi-Wan Kenobi – Obi-Wan wore a blue lightsaber for virtually his entire life as a Jedi. He had a blue lightsaber when he started off as a young Padawan, and he held another blue lightsaber in his hand when, as a Jedi Knight, he was slain by Darth Vader on the Death Star.

History. Asajj Ventress and Ahsoka Tano were two notable practitioners of Jar'Kai, preferring to use two lightsabers as opposed to one. The cyborg General Grievous had been outfitted with arms that could split in half, enabling him to choose between holding two lightsabers or four lightsabers.

First, there were only two lightsaber colors. Heroic Jedi used blue blades while those on the Dark Side used red. Then, after Luke Skywalker lost his lightsaber in The Empire Strikes Back, he forged a new, verdant green lightsaber in Return of the Jedi.
