It's All In The Handle
A lightsaber is a unique device, created by hand. The controls will be slightly different on each individual lightsaber that you buy. But all lightsabers share the same general characteristics. If you were ever to pick up and examine a typical lightsaber, here are several things that you would immediately notice:
- A lightsaber is normally about 30 centimeters long, about the size of a large flashlight.
- At one end is the hand grip, belt ring and on/off switch (a.k.a., the Activation Matrix).
- At the other end there is the blade arc tip and stabilizing ring.
- Somewhere on the case (generally near the blade end of the lightsaber) you find one or two adjusting knobs for blade power and blade length.
