The greatest part of GoPro's marketing is their youtube page. They just post videos shot with GoPros and like amateur versions of the same. I go there when I'm feeling like I need a taste of the outdoors and I've also got a G

As with all things Star Wars Wookiepedia has an extensive article on how lightsabers work "in universe". http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber

Dong Nguyen as a developer might be a smaller name but I guarantee you the ability to put "from the developer of Flappy Bird" is going to have similar effects to being TV famous.
