All of it

Sound, blade, aura...etc...

We went from using a pool stick to buying those cheapie light sabers at WalMart that have a flashlight in them.  Tho not very bright thru the shaft, the end lights up easily so I can find the base of the saber, and the tip, then draw accordingly so the length of the blade stays consistent (no pulsing).

Here's where to find out how to do all this stuff!

Not bad. Not bad at all.

So when do we get a half-naked Princess Leia slave girl clip?

Well, it was certainly better than watching some fat kid dancing around with a microphone stand pretending to be Darth Maul in front of a camera.

Oh man, my 7 yr. old would kick your butt...he's been using his Starwars Light Saber for 3 years, primarily on his little brothers head.  Hey, talk to Ghosth, he made a homemade light saber and its pretty cool!

Rip, record some on video and beam it to me.  I've got it down to a fine art.  The small clip you saw there took me about 3 hours to do (blades, aura, color, sound effects...)
