The Magnificient Yoda Lightsaber

yodaOne of the most endearing characters from the Star Wars movies is of course Yoda. And, since 1977 when the first film came out, lightsaber toys have been a big hit. I have been a big fan of the Star Wars films for a long time and even though the newer movies, the 3 prequels were made with new film technology, the first 3 films, episodes 4 through 6 have stood the test of time.

I clearly remember my mother taking a friend and me to the movie theatre to see the first Star Wars film in 1977. I had no idea what the movie was about and It is my opinion my mom heard it had been a fantastic movie for teenagers and decided on it just as one outing one Saturday afternoon. I used to be completely blown away by special effects plus the adventurous story line making sure that as each new movie came out I visited see them right away. Even though I never collected any of the toys while growing up, my family has begun to in the previous few years.

The Yoda Ligthtsaber FX from Hasbro was released a few years ago and both young and old have enjoyed them. My husband (who is also a fan of the films) has 3 of the characters lightsabers mounted on our family room wall. He has Darth Vader's lightsaber, Luke Skywalker's lightsaber and of course Yoda's.

As we have a young son, my husband has conveniently used this an excuse each time he wanted to purchase one of these FX toy lighsabers. I recall that when we bought the first one at the store a few years ago, there were many dads and sons checking them out on the display, with the dads being the most intrigued by them. These toys are not the cheap plastic lightsabers that came out in 1977 however. With these new ones the handles are made from die-cast metal that replicate the ones used in each of the movies. In addition they feature digital effects in order that it sounds simillar to the movie when you turn it on and wave it around.

Since we purchased the first two of our lightsabers as well (Luke Skywalker's and Darth Vader's), my son and my husband were able to experiment with with them immediately. One night, both of them went out in the park with the sabers to own a dual and it had been the good thing paying attention to the real looking sounds and watching the colorful lighted blades wave around at midnight. In fact, a car stopped at the side of the road to watch as my husband and son dueled it out in the park. A few months afterwards, we purchased the Yoda Ligthtsaber FX so that I could join in the fun too.
