Are lightsabers real?

Question

I was wondering if lightsabers are real?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

yes

but they're toys.

Answer 3

no. People have been trying to invent them without very much luck

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

The technology to create a real, working lightsaber doesn't exist yet. The effects in the original three movies (Episodes IV-VI) were done using a technique called "rotoscoping," where animators draw over frames of film to achieve the desired effect. In the prequel trilogy (Episodes I-III), the effects were achieved through computer animation.

However, there are lots of very realistic-looking replicas available. Here are three sites to check out:

Answer 6

They're as real as Santa Claus

Answer 7

No, sorry.

Closest you'll get is a plastic light-up toy.  Better yet, play Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Best game ever, and you can make your own saber in the color of your choice!

Answer 8

haha i wish.

Answer 9

as the others said b4 me - no. but just think off all the possiblities! w/ lightsabers around, u can kiss those whimpy laser pointers goodbye! handy jobs could get done, it'd make chopping lumber a breeze and no more naggy teachers! yeah!!

Answer 10

No they aren't. They can't stop the laser in mid air like they do in StarWars. If they were to create one it'd go on forever. Basically it'd be a strong laser pointer.
