Star Wars Severed Luke Skywalker and Wampa Hand Magnets

Adding to Regal Robot’s Separation Collection, the company has introduced two new magnets: a severed Luke Skywalker hand holding a lightsaber and a severed wampa hand. These are joining the previously posted tauntaun head magnet that was the first in the collection. Am I gonna catch ’em all like Pokémon? I’m pretty sure my fridge would hate me if I didn’t.

Each magnet costs $30, is cast from solid resin, and hand-painted by Regal Robot’s artists. Can you make a special request for some blood splatter on the wampa arm? No, unfortunately, you’ll have to add those finishing touches yourself once the magnets arrive.

In the coming months, the hands will soon be joined by yet another addition to the collection, which from the image above is very clearly a severed C-3P0 arm, and not Jar Jar Binks’ severed head like you might have guessed if you’re a terrible, but wishful guesser.

Someone built the most realistic lightsaber, and you can buy one for $199

The most fun part of my job is getting to cover designs and products that really grab my attention. The sad reality is that a lot of these designs are either concepts or too expensive for my broke-ass to afford. It also gives me great pleasure to announce that the STARGLOW is neither.

Designed to be perhaps the most realistic working prototype of a lightsaber from Star Wars, the STARGLOW is best described as a vertical flamethrower. Just like the sabers from the hit sci-fi franchise, the STARGLOW comes as just a handle, featuring a button that turns its blade on. Press the button and a fiery beam emits from one end in either blue or green hues. Just the video above should show you how remarkably close the STARGLOW comes to being the real deal!

Before we go further into this article, it’s also a part of my job to tell you that the STARGLOW is literally a flamethrower. That beam coming out of the handle (or the hilt, in swordsman parlance) is a vertically guided inferno, and while in the real Star Wars, lightsabers could hit objects and collide with each other, the STARGLOW’s blade can’t really recreate that experience, because fire, in fact, isn’t solid. That being said, the STARGLOW can inflict some serious damage, so it’s best kept out of the hands of children.

The STARGLOW sabers come with a choice between blue and green flames – colors used by the Jedi, sort of also hinting at the fact that this device should be used for recreation and for good, not as a weapon. The hilts are styled to look very similar to the steampunk metal handles found in the Star Wars franchise, and come machined from high-strength aircraft aluminum, with two visual options – a polished metal finish, and an anodized gloss black finish.

You’re probably wondering how this magical cosplay replica works. It’s all in the way the STARGLOW deploys its fuel. The saber’s proprietary nozzle injects lighter-fuel under pressure, causing it to travel in a vertical stream that’s 1mm thin. A coil right near the nozzle lights the fuel up, and a unique spiral path for the lighter fuel helps the fire flare up, to create that perfect light-beam flare-up. The length of the ‘plasma’ blade varies between 2.5 and 3 feet, and additives in the methanol fuel help it burn either blue or green. Every STARGLOW kit comes with two 0.1 gallon bottles of liquid fuel. A single bottle is enough for 8 refuels or approximately 20 minutes of uninterrupted burning.

The STARGLOW sabers even come with their own bespoke metal-and-wood stands that allow you to display the handle in all its pop-culture glory… although there’s nothing more deeply satisfying than looking at the faces of people as you press the trigger button and have that beautiful plasma blade ignite and come to life!

The Boring Company’s commercially available flamethrower finally has a VERY worthy competitor.

STARGLOW – The Most Realistic Lightsaber

STARGLOW is not just a toy. It is a device that can realistically reproduce the energy blade with the laminar flame flow. In its essence, fire can create the “power blade” in the sword of a Jedi like anything else. Activating STARGLOW puts streaming fire energy in your hands. It can ignite things, leaving a particular trail in its wake.

STARGLOW Design

The body of the STARGLOW saber is molded in high-strength aircraft aluminum, processed on high-precision equipment to ensure its complicated shape. The hilt is ergonomic and easy to hold either in one hand or both. STARGLOW can be manufactured in two options: polished aluminum (White) and anode aluminum (Dark).

How it Works

The STARGLOW blade is achieved by a directed current of flaming liquid. The fuel creates a trail of fire in the air as it comes out of the sword, burning out instantly.

The main accomplishment of the STARGLOW creators is its unique nozzle. It injects fuel under pressure, forming an intimately thin (around 1 mm) jet. The fuel passes through a special spiral causing it to flare up thus forming the blade of the light sword. STARGLOW can produce a fire sword up to 2.5 feet long with uninterrupted burning time up to 3 minutes.

Flame STARGLOW

Each STARGLOW kit is shipped with fuel. The fuel is methanol-based and includes special components that tint the sword blade to be either blue or green. Each color mesmerizing in its own way.

The blue blade is mysterious and produces deep semitones.

The green blade gives a saturated green color and lights up the area nearby as well as the blade.

Sword Control

STARGLOW is activated with a control button. The sword functions in a semi-automatic mode, independently estimating the spiral temperature and the liquid pressure.

The delay of fuel supply during the first combustion lasts around 2 seconds. This is necessary for the spiral to heat up to the required temperature. Further combustion is instant. With no activation after 10 seconds, the spiral switches to the waiting mode.

Sword Stand

The STARGLOW stand is manufactured from polished aluminum and solid wood. These two elements perfectly match the materials of the sword properly.

Subtle home decor for the Star Wars fanatic

If the Alhazen lamp reminds you of an iconic object from a sci-fi pop-culture phenomenon, you’re not alone. The lamp is a play on the Lightsaber and uses acrylic optics to disperse light, much like most lightsaber toys and prototypes do. Designed by Saif Faisal who wanted a lamp that was both cool and practical at the same time, the Alhazen takes the lightsaber and changes a few key details to make it look like a prop from Star Wars, but also have a character of its own. The lamp is made from a wooden base that holds the lighting element, and the lighting element itself, comprising a handle, a hollow acrylic tube with an LED-strip, and an acrylic plug that sits on the top. Switch the LEDs on and the frosted acrylic diffuses them, while its edge-lighting properties allow it to glow from top to bottom like a lightsaber does. Oh what I’d give for a Kylo Ren version of this lamp!

The World’s Longest Lightsaber (Don’t Try This at Home)

One of the things that nerds complain about is how lightsabers work in the Star Wars movies. Because as we all know, lasers don’t go to a certain length and then just stop. I mean, theoretically a lightsaber should go one forever, cutting through everything in its path.

This video from Corridor has some fun playing with that very idea. Sure, Star Wars is a fictional world and in that world, there are very good reasons to have them work the way they do.It’s just a cool light sword okay? But in the real world, a laser with an unlimited length would present many problems. It could carve open your ceiling, hit planes in the sky above you, and if you swung downward, it would probably cut into the Earth’s crust – and if you kept cutting, you could possibly split the planet in two.

So basically, lightsabers are not a good idea in the real world. If you build one, don’t aim it downward and cut Earth in half. I live here.
