I saw this elsewhere and commented that all the disclaimers made it sound like Happy Fun Ball

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

Ah, for the days when a lightsaber was just your flashlight...

I'm confused... so basically they stuck a laser in a tube and they're calling it a thing?

Re: Possibly catastrophic, but cool never the less

They're just brighter and lasery versions of what already exists (Parks Sabers, Master Replicas, etc.). They obviously added a (mediocre) lightsaber effect on top of the fight parts. The actual blade glow shown in the same ad looks quite different.

Which just goes to show that fictional lightsabers are ridiculously and impractically bright, and that the effect generally used, even when done well, is bunk (but looks good).
