Tor.com Anniversary Giveaway #15: Official Star Wars Jedi or Sith Dual Action Lightsaber

The Prize: Do you want to be a Jedi or a Sith? The winner will choose one completely official Star Wars electronic lightsaber to command the Force at will. Both lightsabers contains a second, smaller lightsaber hidden in their hilts. Seriously. So you can fight with two sabers, or combine them to create a double-bladed weapon. Try not to short-circuit your keyboard from drooling over this fine weapon.

The Rules: To get this giveaway, all you need to do is comment (once—duplicates won’t count) on this post. The winner will be selected at random. You have until 12pm EST on Tuesday, July 21st, to comment here. No geographic restrictions apply. You may enter yourself to win as many of these giveaways as you’d like, but if you are randomly selected as the winner you are ineligible to receive any others, so make sure to pick the ones you want!

Should that not be a dual-action light saber? I mean, they're all for dueling, but not all have two components.

If chosen, my son will just have to drool with envy and enjoy the few moments he's allowed to touch.

it *still* annoys me that the only difference between a "jedi" and a "sith" lightsaber is the COLOR. this is dumb - there have to have been many Jedi who wanted a red lightsaber. red is not bad! it is not evil! it does not make the weilder a sith!

i want a red jedi lightsaber!
