December 13th, 20170125An elegant weapon for a more civilised age? Or so says Obi-Wan as Luke opens a lightsaber for the first time and wields it with somewhat haphazard skill. You know the scene. You’re kind of relieved that Luke’s holding the sabre the right way up as he schvrmmmmmms the blade through the darkness of Obi Wan’s hut on Tattoine. You...
