Could be both =o

The only real thing stopping people from making a lightsaber is probably a power source. You need a LOT of power for a mother fucking blade of light that can cut a man's arm off like butter and go through steel in a quick hit, Duracel ain't got shit on what they use.

Imagine though, if they started mass producing lightsabers. A lot of fights would end REAL quick. I'd imagine you'd have to have permits after permits to own and use one, sorta like a high grade military gun, one that is technically allowed to be used by civillians, but you need to have a CLEAN as A WHISTLE record to buy one.

Hell, years from now, if they made one, they could make a lot of money auctioning the first ones off:

"Now ladies and gentlemen for our main bid of the night: The creator of Star Wars and appropriatley the first owner of our bid: George Lucas's Personal Lightsaber. The lightsaber was of course inspired by his movies and were used by Jedi and Sith alike. This one of a kind blade features a custom hilt fashioned after the character Ayala Secura, and in addition uses a unique 'Orange' color crystal. The bidding will start tonight at Half a Million dollars."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cloudkiller, Y U KILL CLOUDS?

Majin yami: Because if they made REAL lightsabers, the amount of cool and awesome now in the world (Freakin Lightsabers!) would cause a blackhole of "lol internet" that would kill us all in a very cool and awesome way

There's nowhere I can't reach.
