Movie Props 002, Lightsabers

I came across this video of the day, How to Build a Lightsaber, over at my favorite movie sight, /film. And who wouldn't want their own light saber. I was seven when I saw Star Wars in the theatre and was in awe. There is some great info about how the original sabers were made and the talk about the Custom Saber Shop, were you can get reproduction parts, machined parts and blades that light up. They have a cool program that lets you "build" you light saber while calculating the cost. You can also save your build and get a parts list. Here's a few I threw together.

You can also have custom work done, and services like powder coating and media blasting. They also have a forum with info on how to build your saber, and all topics light saber.
