Star Wars fans rejoice: someone has finally succeeded in creating a working lightsaber. And it can be yours for only US$197.97.

Hong Kong company Wicked Lasers has manufactured “the most dangerous laser ever created,” a lightsaber with a blue beam that can burn retinas and set skin on fire.

The Spyder III Pro Arctic features a 1 watt laser the company warns is the most powerful portable laser available. The beam is a thousand times more powerful than sunlight on skin and the manufacturer warns it could cause cancer.

It’s definitely not something you want to give to your seven-year-old Star Wars fanatic.

Cautions Wicked Lasers:

Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to 1W of laser power. At close range, this Class 4 beam will cause immediate and irreversable retinal damage. Use with extreme caution and use only when wearing proper safety goggles with an O.D. of 3+ is required and 4.4+ for longer exposures.

For your convenience, the Arctic comes packaged with free safety glasses.

World Lasers says it ships the lightsaber to over 70 countries, Canada included.

I can't wait for a major western government to ban this or place restrictions on it's sale so Paul can post a thread expressing his outrage!

But they would belong to the Dark Side of the Force.

Great. More terrorists on the loose. If someone gets their hands on the design, everyone can build one from parts bought from RadioShack.

Kinda give a new meaning to the words, "you'll put your eye out!"

Some idiot will give this to some kid, with predictable results.

So what is the point? Like, other than looking more 'realistic', what purpose would it serve?

It's a 1 watt laser pointer you maroons.

Good thinking. I was up late too late.

Wouldn't it just be a big laser pointer that would burn holes in your wallpaper?

Gives a new meaning to "cancer sticks"

This is not a lightsaver. It's just a LASAR device encapulated in a shaft -hehe- that resembles a lightsaver. NEXT.
