Lightsaber
This is one of the most popular science fiction weapons ever created. Indeed in a survey conducted in 2008 among some two thousand film fans it was found to be the most popular film weapon. Whenever you think of the Star Wars saga one of the very first things that comes to your mind besides the cute droid R2-D2, the menacing Darth Vader, the Imperial battleships and the formidable Chewbacca, is the lightsaber. An energy sword with a lightblade of one metre, this lightsaber can easily cut through flesh and destroy machine parts. It can also deflect blaster bolts as seen in the various Star Wars movies. However it can be blocked by another lightsaber and energy fields. All the Star Wars movie from “The Phantom Menace” (Start of the prequel trilogy being released in 1999) to the post trilogy movies with the final being “The Return of the Jedi”(1983) have featured a lightsaber duel between the good Jedi Knights and the evil Sith lords. It is the signature weapon of both the Jedis and the Siths. Each lightblade produced by the lightsaber has a distinct colour. Usually blue is the typical colour of the Jedis while red is the signature lightblade colour of the Siths.Whenever activated the lightsabers produce a distinct hum and this sound increases in pitch whenever the sword is swerved in action. Luke Skywalker, Obi- Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader are some of the famous lightsaber wielders from the Star Wars saga. Bet you wanna own a lightsaber dont you??????????
