The Evil Genius Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Fess up buddy...we are closing in on you! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050525/ap_en_mo/star_wars_sabers 'Star Wars' Fans Hurt Replicating Sabers 29 minutes ago LONDON - Two "Star Wars" fans were critically injured when they tried to replicate the light sabers used in the movie by filling glass fluorescent light tubes with fuel, police and a news report said Tuesday. The pair, Mark Webb, 20, and an unidentified 17-year-old girl, were planning to make a video recording of a duel like those in the just-released blockbuster film "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith," Britain's Press Association news agency said. They were injured when one of the makeshift sabers exploded Sunday evening in the woods in Hemel Hempstead, north of London. Hertfordshire Police said a third person present when the explosion happened had been questioned. The department said the two who were injured were in critical condition at a burns unit in Chelmsford, Essex. "At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene," police said.

bearrock Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 From the game manual of Star Wars: KOTOR I "Lightsabers: Only Jedi have the skill to use these weapons. Any other users would be more likely to injure themselves than their opponents." :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
