With such a broad range of topics related to the saber community, there are still some common questions that keep coming up. We'll try to address just the main ones here.
Q: Are these REAL lightsabers?
A: No
Q: What are the blades made of?
A: The blades of most of the sabers are constructed from 64 individually sequenced LED lights inside a polycarbonate tube. The early sabers (Original Luke ROTJ and Anakin AOTC) are the only ones that do not use the LED blades. These two sabers use an EL or Electro-Luminescent blade.
