I think that picture sums it up best:

How Lightsabers Work:
1. Encounter mugger.
2. Brandish lightsaber.
3. Get head caved in by a nonfictional tire iron.

I got my lightsaber for when I go see Star Wars. $9.99 at Toys R' Us. Not bad, it doesn't light up, but it does extend and retract, so it's easier to carry

Only 36 hours and 51 minutes (as of 11:14 am, CST May 17, 2005)...

They sell models of the actual, Lucasfilm-licensed props for a hundred bucks at a store out here that I go to alot. They light up, make the noise and everything. Very classy, too; not the clunky, kidified Wal-Mart toy dept. thing. The hilt is stainless steel and the "blade" is glass or lucite or something. It's not retractable. It's for people who want to display it. Very cool.
