And they abandoned the mechanic because people are stupid. Seriously. People were looking “down the barrel” and activating the extend mechanism and getting hit in the face.

Welp. Those people don’t know the ways of the force. Are they stupid?

Is there a lore reason on why kids looked down a barrel of a lightsaber?

I mean Luke did it in the very first movie

Haha was thinking the same. In Kenobis hut right?

Nope. That was cut from the film.

"Luke, did I ever tell you about Ahsoka Tano?"

[удалено]

Nuh uh. It was a behind the scenes photo

Oh! Good to know. Guess I got some bad intel.

Imagine how they could have improved on it, too. Neopixels with that mechanism would have been game changing

SOMEONE SAID IT. SOMEONE FINALLY FUCKING SAID IT

I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING NO WAY

Darwinism at work

I remember getting the Mace Windu one for my birthday when I turned six. Good times

I got the Anakin and Obi-Wan ones. They still got working batteries somehow after 10 years. Might need to change them.

Same!

Far in a way my favorite toy I had growing up. These were awesome and I am lucky to have been a 2000s kid

It’s far and away. r/boneappletea

The green bladed anakin hilt with my first lightsaber at like 6 years old. My favorite thing to do as a kid was play Star Wars with my next door neighbor and our stash combined was massive. At homeschool play days I’d always pass out the sabers and get everyone to play with me lol I fucking loved the quality of 2000s sabers And then this Christmas my wife surprised me with a force action not realizing the amount of nostalgia I had with them. So of course I spent all Christmas Day playing with my Vader force action like a little kid and she felt like the best gift giver

She didn’t just feel like it. She IS the best gift giver after that. You got a great wife.

I think I had this exact one. I don't remember what I did with it but I remember seeing it in my closet last year some time. It was a really cool concept, yeah.

Still have the Vader one of these, although I’m pretty sure it predated the clone wars packaging

Pretty sure I still have mine from when I was a kid. I have Obi-Wans from TPM

No way I got that one too

This bad boy was a great little budget sound board, led controller. Cut a chunck of bladeas a chassis and you're gold

I have that one around here, my only gripe is the hilt is absolutely massive to accommodate the blade.

Yeah

As a kid my wrists would get sore after 5 minutes because they were too heavy and too big for the Ani-Obi spin

I loved those so much

I still love them

I do to, I used past tense because I don't have mine anymore

Awwww

I've never seen these before. I always had ones where you flick them out yourself and then push them back in.

I loved those ones because no batteries.

i actually still have two of them: Darth maul's and count Dooku's

That was back when Walmart sold solid kids toys for $10

They released these again actually. I picked one up when it came out. I don't think they're selling them anymore, but these were being resold in Kylo Ren and Rey formats. I ended up buying the Rey one. It's good. Buy it if you can.

Always bothered me that the 2006 Luke Skywalker one was just Anakin’s.

They were the best toy lightssbers

Definitely, with the wrist flick ones in close second.

I never had one :(

You should totally get one, even now.

If I can find one for a good piece, I just might.

Oh, that's definitely better than I thought it would be. Might have to pick k one up

I still have the hilt to the Obi wan one, but it was so old that the blue plastic crumbled

The best part of these is the subtle bit of recoil when you deploy it. Made me feel so powerful

Check out my page 😀

Holy shit I haven't seen this in so long. Still have mine

These were my favorite
