Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

They built something super cool... but I also think the claim is kind of silly.

They built a super awesome handle and backpack, and did a great job syncing electronic sound effects with the operation and movement of the "blade."

The "blade" itself, however, is literally just the flame of an off-the-shelf propane glassblowing torch.

You can see the creator discussing and showing off the glassblowing torch here:

So, they didn't make the "blade projector" of their "lightsaber," and the "blade" of their lightsaber is fire, not light. I don't think it actually counts as a lightsaber, and if it does, I think the people who make the glass blowing torch should get the award.

I know, I know, I'm a pedantic party pooper.

It’s funny how every kid ever growing up wanted a light saber, yet even as a kid I thought to myself “they would have to call me Matt because I’d lose my limbs playing with it so fast it would boggle the mind.”
