im sry there are alot better ways to make lightsabers i mean if ur broke this is a good way but ur much better off saving up your money and getting a parksaber or a sabershop novus of even going to the custome saber shop and making one of your own.

@sketchysquad Of course any doofus with a checkbook can buy a lightsaber on a website somewhere and have something that a bazillion other people also have. This tutorial, of course, is for those who want to make their own lightsaber that is unique because they made it themselves--and of course making a lightsaber of one's own requires imagination, creativity and talent, something few people have.

Hi, I'm a young and aspireing film maker and I would like to make some lightsaber videos of my own. Problem is that your meathod for inserting a blade doesn't help much because the blade keeps slipping out and will break after using it a few times. Do you know of another object that I can use as a blade that won't break so easily?

[lflank]

If you have inserted a screw through the handle and into the blade to hold it in, as I have described, there is no possible way on earth that the blade can keep coming out, unless the screw is too short and you are just in the padding, not the wooden blade.

And if you are breaking the wooden dowels, then you are using wayyyyyy more force than is necessary -- or safe. You should be more worried about breaking skulls than breaking blades.

I am a fan of you.... so here is a question..... can u put wiring into your lightsaber and put a hollow clear tube about 1 meter long and use LEDs to light it up?

[lflank]

Yes. The interior of all my lightsabers is hollow, so there is room for all the batteries, wiring etc that you will need to add an LED blade.

[legostarwarsjedi2]

hey lflank how did you make the blade red did you paint it or raped red tape plezzzzzzzz respond:D

[lukakrosty]

its a shame that you dont sell your lightsaber

it can be good business

[22monkeymadness]

@lflank have you ever done that before, because your double bladed lightsaber would look cool with some LED lights(but then it would be more of a "look at thing " and not realy a prop) ahhh well its your decision, ......may the force be with you

[22monkeymadness]

you should try a lightsaber with another handle coming out at a 90 degree angle much like a baton the police use it is called a Guard shoto (also referred to as "lightsaber tonfa") look for lightsaber on wookieepedia you'll find it...also, may the force be with you
