The makers don’t call it a lightsaber (though the internet certainly does) but the Spyder III Arctic laser certainly looks like one, and that’s prompted Lucasfilm to send the Hong Kong company Wicked Lasers a cease and desist.
I’m no lawyer, but the appearance of the laser is pretty blatantly inspired by its fictional forbearer. And anything that might keep “the most dangerous laser ever created” out of the hands of stupid geeks is fine by me.
Yeah. That did have disaster written all over it.
Nah, that’s like saying Pepsi tastes like Coke…:-p
I’m afraid that I’m always going to regret not having the money for one of these while they were available. Not for the Star Wars connection (though that certainly helps a bit) but because I keep thinking of how many uses it could actually have.
