LOLWHUUUT?

The first lightsaber I had was a 1999 Hasbro Qui-Gon Jinn.
I'm a prequel kid, sue me

[stegasp]

Haha... Yeah, The first saber I had was 1996 Luke ROTJ. My brother had the 1996 Vader.

And we fought & fought & fought.

Same here, had the luke saber. It ended up wedged between the old bunk beds and the heater, it ended up melting the green plastic blade. Good times.

I remember some official sabers that I saw as a kid that had black hilts, did not light up, and the colored blades were fluted on the ends to make an interesting (but not particularly lightsaber-ish) sound when swung through the air.

Yes! I had two of them a yellow and a green.

That is the same as the pic in my post, made by Kenner

HOLY CRAP! I'd forgotten about those. When the neighbor kid and I did our 8mm SW attempt, we'd used painted PVC & bicycle grips for sabers. These would've been slightly better....

Same here! Got mine when I was 8 or 9 and I still have it except the blade snapped when I fought my little brother with it. Electronics still work though. Hmm saber idea...
