For years, kids of all ages have dreamed about what they would do with a real lightsaber, played the Jedi Knight, and made and bought all kinds of replicas.<br />Today, there are many choices of replicas, ranging from five dollars to five hundred. There are officially licensed replicas, people that have their own online companies to sell there own custom versions, and countless fans who make their own. One can often find on ebay people claiming to sell an ebook with instructions for such fan-made props - usually it is a list of links to helpful websites. My purpose for this blog is to keep an updated list of links for the lightsaber enthusiast.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1717304080290553161-6074653202941288301?l=lightsaber-information.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Luke Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02413964580839245039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717304080290553161.post-30288985169003168232007-08-23T13:03:00.000-07:002007-09-01T18:34:50.241-07:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">Information and Tutorials</span><br />DIY Saber Making<br /><a href="http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=30">An Introduction to DIY saber making</a><br /><a href="http://bigyellowbox.tripod.com/">Lightsabers at the Big Yellow Box - Custom Hardware Saber making </a><br /><a href="http://www.apocprod.com/Pages/tutorials/lightsaber1.htm">Making a Hardware Hero Saber</a><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://www.apocprod.com/Pages/tutorials/lightsaber2.htm">Making a Hardware Stunt Saber</a><br /><br />Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber<br /><a href="http://www.jedi-academy.com/sabers/luke_anh_saber_tutorial.html">Luke Skywalker </a><a href="http://members.aol.com/yodashous2/building.htm">Ep.IV: A New Hope saber (link 1)</a><br /><a href="http://members.aol.com/yodashous2/building.htm">Luke Skywalker Ep.IV: A New Hope saber (link 2)</a><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://members.aol.com/yodashous2/building1.htm">Luke Skywalker Ep.V: Empire Strikes Back saber (link 1)</a><br /><a href="http://members.aol.com/yodashous2/building1.htm">Luke Skywalker Ep.V: Empire Strikes Back saber (link 2)</a><a href="http://members.aol.com/yodashous2/building.htm"></a><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://members.aol.com/ctlawmore/g2/g2.htm">Luke Skywalker: The Hardware Saber (how to build a DIY version)</a><br /><a href="http://www.jedi-academy.com/sabers/luke_rotj_tutorial.html">Luke Skywalker Ep.
