Everyone has heard of a lightsaber, if you haven't then maybe living under a rock isn't the best place to live. The lightsaber is a "Technological Wonder", it is a handle or "hilt" made of metal that appears useless, yet with the push of a button a fiery laser blade emerges. Able to cut through almost anything this is one of the most feared weapons in the universe. The origins are very interesting, starting at a time when the Jedi Order used long swords, a single jedi learned how to freeze a laser. From this other jedi learned to take the laser and have it return to the power source and complete a circuit. Thus creating a sustained powerful laser blade that could be adjusted as seen fit. However, the power source was very limited and ran out fast, so a battery had to be worn on the belt to sustain it. Later on some jedi found a way to lower the power usage and make it more stable with a focusing crystal, and later color crystals were added. I will go through the different types of lightsaber in my upcoming posts, So stay tuned, and may the force be with you!!!
