Kids Play Star Wars Music w/ Lightsabers

Posted on by

This is music school done right. How do you do music school right? Well, the answer is simple. Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars. You have to check out these videos of children from Quebec’s Ecole de l’Harmonie (School of Harmony) and École secondaire de La Seigneurie playing a bunch of Star Wars music on their violins… with lightsaber bows no less. So, does a lightsaber fight break out after the song? Read on and find out.

No, no lightsaber fights break out. I just said that because I’m mean. Anyway, these videos from the Canadian premiere of The Force Awakens last winter are proof that lightsabers can be used for more than just killing other people. This is the true Jedi way. Make music, not war.

The control and discipline they display as they try to not to slice their instruments in half is amazing.

Guy Makes Giant Lightsabers for His Christmas Display

Posted on by

In order to make his home Christmas light display truly epic this year, Bob Clagett of I Like to Make Stuff made a pair of comically giant lightsabers. I don’t think these could kill anyone since they are pretty hard to hold, but you can actually have a duel with them.

He made this crazy things out of materials that anyone can find at the Home Depot. The hilts are made of cardboard cylinders, painted silver and accented with duct tape, while the blades are made of clear plastic roofing material and attached inside the hilts with drywall screws and 2x4s. The lights are just Christmas lights mounted inside the hilts.

He did an awesome job with these and if you watch the video you will be surprised at all of the clever things he did to create them.

15 Fantastic Lightsaber Tattoos

Posted on by
Above & Under

The internet is still going crazy about the Lightsaber in the new Star Wars movie teaser trailer, so why not check out the people who think it’s an excellent idea to walk around with one on their body for their entire lives?

The popular way of doing it seems to be the fingers. It’s slim design makes it a perfect fit, and not everyone is about showing off their tattoo. Just having a small piece of colorfulness doesn’t piss of the parents too much, and doesn’t seem weird in a job interview.

But there are also those who go all out, and make it seem like there’s a huge lightsaber stuck in their neck, or coiled by a snake. There are also those who team up with someone else, if you’re into the whole Jedi-Sith roleplaying thing.

Darth Vader Lightsaber BBQ Fork

I find your lack of barbecue utensils disturbing. The Darth Vader Lightsaber BBQ Fork will have you grilling on the Dark Side. Even the dark Sith lord needs to flip his food over on the grill. Sure, he could just use the Force to do that but why waste such powers on something like cooking? Does Vader even eat? How?

This stainless steel bbq tool has a handle that looks just like the hilt on Darth Vader’s lightsaber. Grill like a Jedi master.

Lightsaber Lava Lamps

The Force is strong with these- the force of fluid dynamics that is. Combining an iconic 60′s design (the lava lamp) with an iconic 70′s design (the Star Wars lightsaber) you get these Star Wars Motion Lamps. Lightsaber Lava Lamps Apparently the term “lava lamp” is actually a trademark so these are “motion lamps”. Who knew? We’re calling Xerox Kleenox Band-Aid on the term right here and now, come on. Anywho, you can get these in your choice of Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker lightsaber.

The 18″ tall lamp has a tube made of glass and sits atop a base with a 4.75″ diameter. For fun you can calculate the total volume of the cylinder. While you do that, I’ll imagine the light in the base turning on and heating up the “lava” (actually it’s wax) inside and causing all sorts of geeky psychedelic shapes inside the tube. They actually have a very clean modern design and the Star Wars nod is fairly subtle so you can stealth geek it a bit in the office or wherever you end up putting these.

Giant Lightsaber Pocky: Snack Like a Jedi

giant lightsaber pocky Giant Lightsaber Pocky: Snack Like a Jedi
Pocky is the greatest Japanese snack food ever. And now, they’ve somehow managed to make it even more awesome. Not only are these Pocky giant-sized, they are also Star Wars themed. These 8″ long Pocky come in three flavor/characters. Yoda (not pictured) is green tea flavor, obviously. Luke Skywalker is grape?! and Darth Vader is strawberry. Yes the colors make no sense in relation to the movies but just go with it I guess. Besides, grape is delicious.

These definitely make a better fighting sword than pretzel sticks (probably not pretzel rods, though- those things are tough as nails as far as snack food battling goes). Now since they probably don’t sell Giant Pocky in your local supermarket, and less likely Star Wars Giant Pocky unless you live in Japan or Naboo, you can buy a box here on eBay Giant Lightsaber Pocky: Snack Like a Jedi. May the Force be with you. (via foodbeast)
