My little brother Scotty must have half a dozen of those things, and he agrees. He says the other handle design is based off of Qui Gon's from Episode 1

I recognized the idea for the hilt right away (tho as Jeff said, the big red button helps, lol!)....I got a green Qui-Gon for myself and a blue Obi-Wan for my nephew, and we "duel" on occasion... But if he uses it to break some of his mom's assorted 'stuff,' he and I might have to come to SoCal and lay low in your HQ for a while. (If we do, I'll have to bring my Connor MacLeod replica sword, and see what the GBWC engineers can do for IT! ;D )

If you do, you and I will have to have a talk.

I have a question about the N-Sabers, would they be particularly effective on spooks like vampires, werewolves, or gargoyles? If so, then I'd love too see Samurai Jeff go all Jet Li on an entire clans of each. And he could be all dressed like Neo from Matrix: Trilogies. That would be so friggin' cool!

That's an interesting question. At first guess, I would presume that they would at least do what I've heard referred to as "aggravated" damage--ie damage that would have to be healed at a more "normal" rate, falling out of the purview of vampires and werewolves legendary regenerative abilities. But that's only a guess.
It would probably hurt vampires even more if the blade harmonic is modified similarly to the modification Dr. Stantz made on the proton packs to simulate the frequencies in sunlight harmful to them.

I'm gonna agree with Fritz on this one. We haven't had the chance to see for ourselves, but I'd theorized much the same thing.

You know it's funny you should mention that. When the device was built, we'd theorized that smacking two N-saber blades together would have the same disasterous result as crossing the streams.
Thanks to a little goofing around on Holbrook and my parts about the time Episode 3 came out, however, it turns out we were wrong.
Apparently, the neutron count (neutrons being the blue arcs of neutral energy that force the orange protons into a beam shape instead of flying off every which way) is so high in an N-saber (and it needs to be to force the beam into a blade shape) that it coats the beam in a sort of force field that allows two proton blades to interact without blowing the weilders up, while the blade still carries more than enough positive charge to burn and cut and generally mess up ectoplasmic creatures and pretty much anything else.

hmm, i had read the initial report about the dangers of crossing blades, but this is interesting news indeed. Its a good thing too, probably from the way you mention it, otherwise it might have been, well, bad

Yes, well...like I've said before. Sometimes in science, we do things we probably shouldn't just to see if we can.

plus the best part of science is blowing stuff up, its just a bonus if you learn something along with it.
