- dfox 14y agoI would assume that building your own lightsaber, given it's form factor, would involve significant amount of laptop-like small, unfriendly electronics (not to mention fiddling with force fields and other advanced physics) :)
- andrewflnr 14y agoYou would think, but based on the literature they don't actually seem to be that finicky. Just stick some kind of crystal in some kind of case, with a couple other off-the-shelf components, and that's it.

- unimpressive 14y agoWhat has wrong with that comment?
- SquareWheel 14y agoNothing at all. But I can't think of any other community where we'd get into a discussion of the build process of a lightsaber, can you? I love participating in such a geeky crowd, even though I was never a big Star Wars guy myself.
- frozenport 14y agoReminds me of Reddit
- haldean 14y agoOr reddit or RPF or 4chan or board game night or Comic Con or...
- saraid216 14y agoThat's how Star Wars treats all of its engineering things. Just give it a kick and it starts up.
