Are these for real?

I was just tinkering around and came across this site... Are these for real?Buy a lightsaber

Yep, they're real lightsabers, although I don't think they cut through adamantium, though. I mean, if they could do that, then I'd think they were fake.

 

[MournSanity]

Yup. Why wouldn't they be?

 

[bluewall21]

No (Yes! My Jedi mind tricks are functional once more!). But they are pretty cool lookin.

Well, all I can say is that they better be real!

I want to start practising for the Lord of the Sith Finals.

What would make them more "real" is if you started out with just a small little eight inch long handle, hit a button and then BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM...... out comes the light.

These things have the "sabre" part out at all times whether the light is on or not. Too bad. Gotta dig the "Someone's gonna get an eye poked out" protector on the end.

For $219 and up I'd expect something more elaborate then an neon with a handle. Of course, I don't know how you'd do a "real" sabre with today's technologies. You can't control the length of a laser. Lasers go out infinitely or until the colide with something. I guess you could use that technology they're using to project images into thin air, but that would be DAMN expensive for something that's nothing more than a toy.

Some of the pics are pretty amusing.

They are not real sabers obviously but the guy really does sell them. I read all about this guy's business a couple years back and how he makes a sh!tload on custom sabers and more. If you want to order one go for it, you can be assured it will come

Actually, you might be able to using some crazy fourier analysis. You'd have to figure come up with the fourier series for a step function having a value of 1 for a distance of say, 3 feet, and then a value of 0 everywhere else. Figure out what amount of which frequencies you need, and then get about a hundred lasers in the little device to output that function.

Crazy, but maybe possible.

Ok, I don't mean for real as in the same type of light saber as in the movies, I am not so far gone as that. But I mean, I have done some reading about these things and they seem pretty durable. if they weren't so expensive, I would say it would make a good addition to a halloween costume...

i don't think they can withstand a hit against something or against anothr light saber. They look really nice though and detailed! but obviously for deipslay purposes
