The lightsaber is the super-powered high frequency laser beam weapon of the Star Wars universe. It first appeared it Star Wars: A New Hope when Obi-Wan gave Luke Anakin's old lightsaber. It is possibly the most famous weapon in movies of the past century. Frequently children are spotted with rulers or sticks playing a lightsaber duel. Don't we all wish that we could instantaneously hack someone's limbs off, cut through any material, or threaten somebody's life? The amazing futuristic tool of the lightsaber has changed everybody's life, dreams, or imagination in some way.
Yoda had a furious lightsaber duel full of flips and twists with Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
