He never flew a ship like this in the movies, but how do you know what he did in
his off hours? We never see him go to the bathroom either, but I wouldn't
object to the assertion that he must have had one somewhere.
I find it interesting that nobody's commenting on the light-up lightsaber.
That's pretty cool, something only previously available in custom mods as far as
I know. The last light-up lightsaber I saw for sale went for almost $100 on
eBay, and this is just one component of a $20 set.
Does anyone know more about how it works? Do you really have to hold his head
down to make it light up, or is it a toggle switch? And to what extent can you
take it apart (e.g., substitute a different color blade)?
Seems to me that there will have to be a light-up Luke or Obiwan in the pipeline
now...
Best,
- Joe
