Lightsaber Chopsticks Lay Waste to General Tso Chicken
Posted by Sean Fallon at 6:30 AM on August 2, 2008
Japanese manufacturer Kotobukiya unveiled these awesome Lightsaber chopsticks at last week's Celebration Japan--a huge event that marked the 30th anniversary of the Japanese Star Wars premiere. Unfortunately, there is no word on a pricing or release date for the chopsticks, but if they ever make it on sale in the States I will never use a fork again.

@tucker: But you're suppose to hold a chopstick at the end, not the middle!
Now they just need sounds whenever the two swords touch... Okay that sounded kinky.

@Lodlaiden_: If they dont light up, someone needs to make some that do post haste. They should plug together to form a straw/light saber staff! And an alternate version with rings on the end is in order.
"Ahh, I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!"

So do they have a Darth Maul version to connect at each end?
Next step is Light Saber corn on the cob holders [someone tell me if thats the technical name for those or not...]

Now there is officially no hope for parents trying to get their kids to stop swordfighting with chopsticks or using them as drumsticks (something both me and my brother did growing up). I mean, except for not buying them, but c'mon.

You can't hold chopsticks at the end! But then, there's like a thousand different ways to hold chopsticks amongst us Asians (Chinese, Korean included... I know fewer Japanese)...

@Blue Oyster Cultist: Actually, the (most) "correct" to hold chopsticks is about 85% of the way up... so... not an urban legend.

@Blue Oyster Cultist: Well I'm Chinese and I hold my chopsticks at the end... A lot of Asians can't use chopsticks correctly. I tend to think I can use my utensils correctly.
