Lightsabers

Brittney and I recently finished watching all six Star Wars movies in order. One very important question kept popping up in my sub-cranium as we were enjoying the inter-stellar escapades of the Skywalkers and friends: Is there a cooler fictional wepon than the lightsaber?

It has some strong competion from the gunblade, the Punjab Lasso (for name alone), and Mega Man’s arm-gun, among others.

I pretty much expected it, as the only efforts they ever put towards Arrested Development was to keep it off the air. Thanks, Fox, for keeping the internets as free of humor as your networks!
