Pretty awesome parents

Darth Maul Lightsaber

Not that I need any more dust collectors in my house. But really – if you are going to have one, it should be as cool as this.

My dad’s company makes packaging for all kinds of stuff, and this time it really got us some nice schwag.  To the left here you can see a bit of  the base of Darth Maul Lightsaber that he gave us.  Including the wrench and connector so it can be connected up to another one to make a full Lightsaber quaterstaff thingie.  I don’t know if it from the Master Replica line or the Force FX line which are duplicates of the Master Replicas.  But they are pretty cool either way:

• The blade lights up from the base to the tip, and powers down from the tip to the base
• Four different motion sensor controlled sound effects, power-up, idle hum, clash, and power-down.
• Sound affects are all duplicate the sounds in the movies.
• Includes a nifty display stand.

We currently have it displayed like a sword – right over the tv set – which I think is wholly appropriate .

P.s. the reason we got this one is that my Dad already has 3 different models, (Luke’s, Vader’s and Obi-Wan’s I think) on display at his house.
