Along with the news that there will be another Star Wars film, fans of the cult classic can now get excited about a DIY Star Wars Lightsaber.
This infographic gives you a step by step guide to building your own laser-beaming, intergalactic space weapon (minus the actual laser). You'll need a hacksaw, polycarbonate tubes, spray paint, wires, a measuring tape, tape, tin foil and a set of LED lights.
Another thing you'll need is patience and some time on your hands as this instruction guide includes 23 steps. However, if you're truly looking for Jedi fighting powers, patience should already be part of your training.
"This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight," said Obi-Wan Kenobi. "Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age."
