Star Wars Mini-Lightsaber Requires Obligatory 'Swooosh' Mouth Effects
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 12:30 AM on August 23, 2008
According to the manufacturer, this US$45 Star Wars USB Lightsaber, which connects to the USB port to charge up its battery and glows in the dark with a blue light, is "a lamp". Sure. Whatever. We see it and the only thing we can imagine is a mini-Jedi mini-duel to mini-death, doing mouth sound effects. And actually, it's not that mini, as the image of people battling with two of these shows:

A desktop USB lamp styled like a lightsabre.
• When it is plugged-in the lightsabre will charge-up.
• Press the bronze button on the lightsabre's hilt to activate the light.
• The lightsabre can be removed from its USB powered dock and used as a mini Star Wars toy.
• The light emitted is a subtle one in full daylight but pop it in the dark and it looks totally awesome.
• Requires a USB port.
• Suitable for ages 8 years+.
• Size: 33 x 6cm.

This is perfect for those of us who downloaded the lightsabre app for the iPhone (before it was pulled). Now we just stick it onto our iPhones and BAM! Instant lightsabre with real sound effects!

@Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: Wait for it...
You hear that phrase pretty often don't you?
Har har.

@strider_mt2k: Disappear? I think you mean giving Lemmingwinks a weapon.
Yes, I get the Joker reference.

When you go to remove hardware, does it say "if you eject me, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."?
If only it was a few inches longer.

I like the stand, but I'm led to mix references.

They just made arming my 12" Sideshow Toys figures much easier...even if S-Mart Ash with a boomstick AND a lightsaber might be too much win for one desktop.
