Star Wars - or 'the franchise' as it's known among the aficionado - is one heck of a machine, even for those of us who think we know a thing or two about tie-ins, merchandising and gadgetry. It's a full thirty years since the childhood-defining movie went into hyperspace (you may count the years if you wish, but I wouldn't recommend it) and, let me tell you, we're still amazed by the ingenuity and quality of the industry that's grown up alongside it.

Take for example this full size replica of Anakin's Lightsaber. This nifty torch features realistic Lightsaber sound effects when turned on and off. LEDs crown the torch head and illuminate to light the way in complete Lightsaber-style blueness.

So go forth, brandish your Lightsaber while you bond with Queen Padmé Amidala and pledge yourself to the Sith. May the torch be with you.
