My team is about to launch a KickStarter campaign for a new interactive foam toy sword, which is shown in detail at http://sabertron.com

We already have approval from KickStarter. We would appreciate any feedback on what you think about it before it goes live. It looks very much like a lightsaber and we eventually want to use this toy for mass multiplayer LARPing and add additional accessories into the Sabertron environment, which makes it a cool interactive toy for all ages. Here is a link to our KickStarter campaign video preview

If you plan to buy, signup on our website to make sure you can get in before anyone else and get the Early Bird specials, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook, and get the same announcement that way.

Shut up, Bingo- you signed the NDA!

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Rewrite the Prequels!

That's actually pretty cool. Shame you guys weren't around, I dunno, 20 years ago. That would've been at the top of my Christmas list.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Some of me did but if you wish to make it a legal matter I have a Kosher butcher who will back up the rest of me on this.

There's no better foam than interactive foam.

I do like saying Sabertron. Especially with a robot voice. "Sayb-err-trahn!"

"be-de-dee-dee-deet. Sayb-err-trahn has day off and no plans. Sayb-err-trahn will spend time watching first season of M*A*S*H while cleaning his gears. Beep. Boop. Bort."
