Just for comparison this is a 50mw in the same wavelength range, the one for sale is about 20 times stronger. http://img532.imageshack.us/i/auction001am9.flv/
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/gaming.gadgets/07/06/light.saber.lucas/index.html?hpt=C2 Lucasfilm is none too happy about this product. Ridiculous?
For once I think this is to prevent bad publicity from idiots hurting people rather than them being annoyed at not getting royalties
That's what I was thinking. They should've called it a Phaser and change the handle to look like this: To market to Trekkies instead of Star Wars nerds. Of course then they might be facing a lawsuit from Paramount instead of Lucasfilm.
