Replica Lightsaber - article by Whimsical Wire Articles

When I was a kid and saw Star Wars, I was completely blown away. All of my friends wanted to get replica lightsabers, and I was no different. We wanted real Star Wars lightsabers – the ones that we saw on screen. We wanted to be able to fight with them, complete with crackling mysterious energy moving along the blades as we slashed and battled. Our games of make-believe were pretty convincing to us, and the replica lightsaber was always right at the center of them. Although we could only find plastic ones, we were not disappointed. They were pretty well made and durable. They did take a beating before they would give out. Best of all, they were made out of semi transparent plastic with a flashlight in the middle. That meant that they would glow whenever the switch was turned on.

When the new Star Wars movies came out, I was in college. Nevertheless, as far as Star Wars went, I was still a kid. I went out to get a replica lightsaber soon as the movie played. The star wars light sabers had changed a lot. Nowadays, the most popular ones where the double-sided ones, modeled after Darth Maul's sword from the movie. They were pretty well made. As a matter of fact, it might've been the most durable replica lightsaber that I ever bought. We would really battle with those. There would be three or four of us fighting at once, and we were all grown men. We would hammer on each other and, eventually, they broke. Nonetheless, they were not too expensive to replace. When my replica light saber broke and I went back to the store, I actually bought a few extras just so we would have something left if they broke again.

My cousin came to visit me in college and was pretty impressed with what I had. He was a lot younger than me, and to him that replica light saber was about the coolest thing in the Universe. His parents are sort of hippies. They don't let him play with war toys, so I thought that I would spoil him. I got him a replica lightsaber of his own, and he took it home with him. He hid it pretty well, and last thing I heard, he was still running around playing with it behind his mother's back. It was pretty snazzy. It had a retractable blade that would come out when you pushed a button in the middle. I think he is the envy of all of his friends, and all thanks to me. It is nice to be able to do something for my little cousin. Buying him a replica lightsaber is about the least that I could do. I hope he enjoys it!
