Force FX Lightsaber Collectible
Take your Jedi weapon. Use it!
'Hokey
religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster
at your side.' Maybe, but Han Solo came out with that little
gem before he'd witnessed the awesomely artistic power of
a lightsaber. (All right, so he saw Obi-Wan slicing off that
ugly 'I don't like you!' bloke's arm in the Mos Eisley Cantina,
but that little altercation was over in a flash).
The
point being, the lightsaber is, without doubt, the greatest
pretend weapon in the entire sci-fi universe. These iconic
red-hot rapiers are to weaponry what Darth Vader is to villainy.
And there isn't a Star Wars fan alive that hasn't fantasized
about wielding one in all its glowing, pshwooing, vhzzhhing,
wuhmming glory.
The
gorgeously crafted Force FX Lightsaber really is an elegant
weapon for a more civilized age. Not as clumsy or as random
as a blaster, this makes other imitation lightsabers look
like, er, imitations. Fully licensed by Lucasfilm, the limited
edition Force FX is fashioned in gleaming metal with a durable
polycarbonate blade, and it feels like a real lightsaber the
par-sec you pick it up.
But
here comes the good bit: once activated, the blade glows brightly
and the Force FX reverberates with digitally recorded sound
effects taken directly from the film, including power-up,
idle-hum, swing, clash and power-down. The spine-tingling
sounds are activated via five super-sensitive motion sensors,
three of which are in the blade to detect movement and impact.
The eye-popping light effects are produced by a string of
64 super-bright LEDs that ignite sequentially inside the permanently
attached blade. The Force FX even comes with a handsome stand
for tabletop or wall display. If this doesn't excite your
inner Jedi, nothing will!
Still
not convinced? We find your lack of faith disturbing, because
you can even chose between Darth Vader's red saber from Star
Wars, and Luke Skywalker's blue one from The Empire Strikes
Back. Which means you can assume the role of your favorite
character as you conduct fabulously immature battles around
the home or office. As the Emperor said to Luke: 'You want
this, don't you?' Well go on then, buy or buy not. There is
no try. And remember, the Force will be with you. Always.
