George Lucas Does Not Want You to Have REAL Lightsabers

A while back, Gfest reported on The Spyder III, is the world's most powerful portable laser.  We also pointed out that it looks an awful lot like a real life lightsaber. 

Well, clearly George Lucas is a regular reader of Gfest, and he agreed with our take.  In fact, he agreed so much that he is now sent a cease-and-desist letter to Hong Kong-based Wicked Lasers, threatening legal action if it doesn't change its Laser series or stop selling it altogether. 

So we apologize to Wicked Lasers.  George Lucas has turned into a dick as of late.  First he ruined Star Wars, then he ruined Indiana Jones.  Now unfortunately, he's coming after you.
 

Well Done Lightsaber Comparison Chart

 

If you're going to purchase a your first lightsaber or just looking around for a replacement model.  This chart will come in real handy. Do I go with the Darth Maul double saber or stick with the traditional saber?  choices, choices.

New Handheld Laser is Basically a Lightsaber

It looks like we are really, really close to lightsabers becoming a reality. The Spyder III, is the world's most powerful portable laser. This thing is already a weapon! It can permanently blind you and set things on fire almost instantly.

And the laser only costs $200 bucks! Sounds to use like we just ended the War on Terror.  Get every member of our military one these today.  Hell, the Pentagon spends $200 on ashtrays.  This purchase is a no brainer.  Check out the images of the laser below.

Bears Just Got More Dangerous – Now Use Lightsabers

You don’t need to be human to be a Star Wars fan and have lightsaber skills!


Check out this video of “Kung Fu Bear” from Japan where he channels his inner Jedi! Seriously, how did this bear lose to Jar Jar Binks at the casting call?

Some Jedi's are just A-Holes

You are damn right I want a LIGHTSABER.  You know you do too.  But my midichlorian counts are pretty low today.  Probably because I did a lot of gfesting last night. 

Then I realized that these these two assholes seem to have gotten in, presumably under the Anakin exemption.  Sure today they're funny pranksters, but maybe tomorrow they become Sith Lords.  Think about that. 

Can a Jedi Lightsaber Hurt Superman?

Who would win in a fight between Star Wars and Superman?  It's one of those questions geeks love to debate.  And as you can see from Jim M's post below, he's played the game before. 

Now let's also be honest, this is an amazing answer.  Very well thought out and reasoned.  True, very few people probably understand it, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.
