"Lightsabers!!!"

After seeing Star Wars III, I decided to set out to research current technology and the possibility of construvting a real, working lightsaber!

I dont expect to complete it in the next few yearsm but its a fun project nonetheless.

Anyone know of any good websites, any current technology, or any ideas of your own about how this amazxingly cool thing could be acheived?

Really? They have to be blue?

Interesting... by things, what do you mean?

I know that if you get about 20 blue laser pens, and shine them on one spot you'll burn things. And you can do it with green too, but not aswell. Not red though.
There's a start.
Maybe get a graviton particle array to give the beam its length. That would also cause the light to become more intense, so it'll cut through things.

Simple enough really. Graviton particle array, ebay it.

Did any body hear about them kids that got burnt,trying to make lightsabers out of,the long light sticks or what ever you call them the lights you have in schools,the big long ones. Well the put petrol inside them then set them on fire,the lights exploded and burnt them loads!

If one of the ones FFF likned to made it's way to me for free i would be happy and probably for the next week run around with it.

Oh right, I gets yee.
At the core.

If you watch the video of those replica ones ... they've got the colours all wrong anyway. The blue's far too dark.
