How much would you pay for a "real working" Lightsaber?

Like the title says. =P

It comes with a 3 year warranty, it has a safety switch so it doesn't go off accidently, and as long as you wear it on your belt and don't try to conceal it, it's not illegal to walk around with one in public.

I think I'd be willing to spend up to... $1200. :D
 
I'd gladly pay 50 bucks for one. Then I'd go up to people and be like, "hey, look at my REAL working light saber!" They'd just scoff it off and call be a stupid Star Wars freak. Then I'd slice off their heads.

NERDS!?
 
A "real working" lightsaber would turn our physics knowledge upside down so I don't think even gazillion of dollars would suffice.
 
Maybe you could extend and heat some kind of uuuuber-hot filament and add some kind of glow effect later for effect.

Even if it's true that they could make lazer swords but you'd need a rediculously large power pack, face shield, radiation guard and that the lazer wouldn't simply focus to a point but instead go on forever making one hell of a mess.... they should still do it.
 
couldn't you just have a lightsaber made from a powerful laser? You'd just have to do something so the laser only went out three feet or so, but was powerful.
 
I would gladly let my father slice off my right hand for one

(Only if I could fall down a chute later, land in my ride, and get a new robotic one though)

I'd like to know how you think they could do that.

It ain't easy but... c'mon, get to work!
Nobel prizes are waiting!

force fields! no pun intended.

Hey. That's not a bad idea. If the saber emitted a small force field that would allow anything to pass through it but the laser, you could get a blade shaped however you want.
 
Even the most powerful laser generator wouldn't work as a lightsaber.

The only way I see (in theory) to make something that looks like a lightsaber and can do the things a lightsaber does would be a handle that can heat up the air so it becomes plasma, and confine that plasma in a blade-shaped magnetic field.
 
Why are we discussing how impossible it is? Who gives a shit? The question was how much would you pay for one if it was possible to own one.

Me personally? You couldn't place a price tag on owning something that cool. So long as I could afford it, I'd pay whatever it cost to own one. Damn that'd be cool.
 
Don't they turn off when not held? I think only celebrities would have them and really rich people. I would want one, but I'd be on the run because it'd be stolen. They'd know because since there are so few of them, they'd have serial numbers on them. 7:(
 
None, because I'd end up going apeshit on a bunch of emo kids at a Hot Topic and end up getting tossed in the clink.

I like my bunghole intact kthx

you let them take you alive instead of deflecting the rent-a-cops' bullets, you've got it coming
 
I would rather have the ability to use the force. Yanking cars out of my way with my mind during traffic would be sweet.

According to info in the P&P RPGs (and other "Lucas approved" sources, I imagine), it varies by design, a choice made when the Jedi constructs his own personal saber. Some switch off when released, others have a locking mechanism that keep the blade ignited.

:lol :lol :lol WHAT
 
Since you don't have the ability to deflect projectiles with it ... whats the point?


Its like that scene from Indiana Jones, where the samauri guys does all those fancy tricks with his swords, and then Indy pulls out a gun and shoots him.

Which is why I'll pay i dollars.

So then there's the matter of creating some sort of floating thing that stays perfectly aligned with the base and is tough enough to not get sliced up by this super powerful laser.
 
This thread so reminds me of the garage sale episode of Venture Bros.

DOC! You got a sign over there that says "laser death ray bargain bin!" (has nothing to do with that pic/scene, but what the hell)

EDIT: Just found the whole scene! Mega Bastard, Go!

You bastard! Every time I saw this thread today I looked for an image from that scene, but couldn't find it anywhere.

Well speaking for myself, I don't have a lot of projectiles to deflect in a typical day.
 
I would much rather pay for a working Pop Up stopper than a glorified laser pointer. What's a light saber going to do for you in a gun fight?

i have a real working lightsaber. It extends to eight inches. It can cut through any hymen.

I'M TALKING ABOUT MY PENIS, FOLKS!
