Bluetooth Lightsaber Duelling comes to iPhone

by Jay Garrett on March 19, 2010

Everyone that I know that owns an iPhone also has the lightsaber app loaded onto it :)

It goes without saying that the only thing that’s missing is that you can’t really duel amongst your friends.

Well, from next month you will be able to challenge your Sith or Jedi foes to a battle.

Just grab the new Bluetooth-enabled Lightsaber Duel and get ready.

What would be cool is if your wins and failed battles could be shared over Facebook so that you could start a league :)

THQ Wireless has even included 11 new Star Wars characters whose lightsabers you can use!

Remember: “This was the formal weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. More skill than simple sight was required for its use. An elegant weapon. It was a symbol as well. Anyone can use a blaster or a fusioncutter—but to use a lightsaber well was a mark of someone cut above the ordinary.”

Lightsaber Torch – Use The Darkside for Enlightenment

by Jay Garrett on July 22, 2009

lightsaber-flashlightHow cool is this?

The lightsaber flashlight (or torch to us Brits) is a replica of Darth Vader’s weapon of choice and, unfortunately, is only loaded with 4 red LEDs instead of a laser that can cut through any young Jedi wannabe who would be using their own torch (complete with sound-effects!).

It’s powered by 3 (Sith standard) AAA batteries and is perfect keeping in your pocket should a Padawan fancy a rumble – either that or for lighting your way back to your tent, finding the key-hole or for when you have sinus problems and fancy saying things like: “Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of Kenobi, and soon the fall of the rebellion.” and “Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me.”

Costs $25

Failing that, get a kit online – namely the Force FC Lightsaber Construction set.
