    Next week, 10pm EST on the Science Channel there is a How To Build A Lightsaber program called 'Sci Fi Science' Just thought that might be of interest incase you haven't heard.

    Bleh, I watched the clip. Hopefully, thats not the only approach that they'll go into in the show. The whole "it's gotta be made of plasma" approach is just overdone and convenient for carnival science to sell to a TV program.

    If you're new, please take the time we all consider just as precious as you and READ!

    GET LATHED!

    Michio Kaku, in his book Physics of the Impossible says that light wouldn't work, because two beams of light would pass through each other and light goes on forever (can't have a 36in blade). And since he is basically the authority on sci-fi science that's what people (TV) goes with these days.

    I don't think plasma would be the way to make lightsabers. I am not sure what they would be made of but I don't think it would be plasma.
