Wow. If you do a search on "custom lightsabers", there are a bunch of places selling them nowadays. Pretty fancy ones, too.
I suppose the proper thing to do would be to build one myself, though. One wonder, if I were to build myself a lightsaber, what features would I want to include... hmmm.
Heheh. I wonder if George Lucas and his special effects team ever thought that 30 years down the road, fans would be building their own lightsabers complete with sound effects and customizable colors. The one significant element still missing though, is a light blade that can really cut through things... which if it were available, would make it a weapon too dangerous to toy around with.
Hmmm. It would look pretty awesome if you had a double-bladed one, and used it like a bo while performing some martial arts kata. Considering that the blades aren't in fact dangerous to touch, there's no reason not to grab and hold them too. I bet there must be videos of something like that out there already. ::does a search:: Yep, there ya go. Unfortunately, no sound effects on that one though.
