"I got caught on camera using this. Lucas sent me a letter amounting to 'look, Dr. Stantz, even if you built it yourself it's still my copyright we're talking here and I have to defend it, so how about you build me a working one too and I won't sue your pants off'. So I did- training strength, naturally, a real 'saber would've left Lucasparts all over the floor- and he was so happy with the results that he recommended the lawyers in a fit of pure gratitude."
