Thanks for the link! Glad you enjoyed the film.

Would you mind terribly embedding the “official” upload of RVD2? We like to keep track of our views in one place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-is63goeBgc

Or, better yet, the HD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RATMJ8JH1qo

Thanks to everyone for checking out and reading this article.

@Matt
Many people don’t know that Lucas ripped off the idea from the comics, which is interesting. I still love those panels of Exar revealing his double bladed lightsaber to this day.

@Bob
Yeah crap line in the movie… BUT within the context of the Jedi Order the weapon is their life. It’s a part of them and a representation of their connection with the Force.

@Richard Billings
I love that one too :)

Thanks everyone. I hope you all had a great Universal Day of the Jedi!

Greg

Interesting how you chose to title your article after a bad line in one of the dumber movies (This Weapon is Your Life). However, you never mentioned it anywhere else in your article.

it’s all good!!! lightsabers have always been fun. I loved seeing the double bladed lightsaber used by Exar Kun several years before Lucas used it in Phantom Menace. I have a small collection of the plastic lightsabers and 2 of the FX lightsabers along with the little die cast model ones.
