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."'"

    Always carries his Lightsaber with him.

    God knows he's not gonna spend it on his website. I thought sites like that died with Netscape!

    Even better, he's using a Star Trek TNG font for his header and logo!

    I watched one of the videos on the linked site, and he doesn't seem to be making any pretense to be teaching anything other than stage combat. So I don't think that this guy is some deluded sap who thinks that lightsaber fighting is a real skill or anything.
