Jedi Master's Hand-Made Lightsaber Stolen

Posted by samzenpus on from the lost-your-weapon-you-have dept.

First time accepted submitter psiogen writes "Flynn Michael, an instructor at New York Jedi, an organization that teaches 'practical knowledge of how to use a lightsaber, left his custom-crafted blade for only a few imperial minutes, but when he returned, it was gone. From the article:'“Who steals somebody’s lightsaber? It’s like stealing someone’s toy out of the sandbox,” said Michael, the founder of New York Jedi, a stage combat performance group. “I finally got my uber custom saber, and then some jerk walks out with it."'"

    It was probably a Jawa. They'll take just about anything that isn't nailed down.

      Where's your evidence? Do you have photos, video, errant droids with holograms or have they tried to sell you the lightsaber? No!?

    His mom took it.

    She said it was time to grow up, if you were old enough to drink in a bar, you are old enough to take care of your toys.

    She sold it at a yard sale for $3. The guy who bought it said he was going to take the batteries out and throw the rest away.

    I've also lost a lightsaber in the past.

    I had a fight with my dad, and it got pretty heated. He ended up cutting off my hand, and I dropped it. I felt really shafted. It was a traumatic experience for me. It worked out in the end, as it turned out it was his lightsaber anyway, and I built my own shortly thereafter. I also got a new hand (you can't really build a lightsaber with just one hand -- I should know!)
