Star Wars: lightsabers

Star Wars: lightsabers by ric gustafson


Lightsabers is the traditional weapon of the Jedi. It is a deadly weapon using a Jedi's meditation and sense of the Force. The components of a lightsaber are simple. It consists basically of simple power cells, controls, conductors and a reflector cup.
Energy from a power cell in the hilt gives the lightsaber it's energy. The energy is fed into a chamber and the crystals move it along the hilt. This produces a blade shaped energy field that is a about a meter in length.
The first Jedi weapons were swords that were sharpened by the Force. These weapons had Force blades that contained crystals in their blades.
The earliest lightsabers used frozen blaster technology and were used as siege weapons. Over time, the power packs grew smaller and eventually contained in the modern lightsaber.
