Check out these great lightsaber pics:

I didn't think this was possible with a digital camera!

Wow, Obi-Wan really let himself go.

What are the lightsabers? Are they sticks of neon?

No, they are light-up replicas. Some are the "Master Replica FX" sabers, others are custom made.

One of the guys in the background of the first picture has a hilt on his lightsaber with a "T" crossgard. It' looks cool but unless it's lightsaber resistant it isn't going to be of much use.

Damn the caps, Fanboy!
Check out Master Replica and don't be fooled when they say, available in whenever under them. That from what I heard is from last year and they should have it now.

Is that a Jedi Crusader in the back there? Just change the costume a little and make that red band into a cross and he'd look like the crusaders of old (almost). Though, I don't think they used two-handed swords that much...

From the ROTS line, of course. This is the Orange County SW club entertaining the crowd, along with a few other Southern CA clubs.

Set exposure times to 1/2 or 1/4 second... longer, even, if you want to get some REALLY crazy effects.

Here's what you do: Set the camera on a tripod in near-dark room. Set the exposure time to 3 seconds. Turn on the flash. Have the dude with a lightsaber start twirling the thing around, and take a picture in mid-sequence. The flash will create a sharp image of your model, but the light of the saber will fill the place with some psychedelic imagery.

Yeah, it looks idiotic.
