The Star Wars Item I Wish They Would Make
There is one Star Wars item (or series of items) that I wish would be made. It has always seemed obvious to me that it would be produced and every time a movie, game, TV show came out I was hoping this would be the time.

But it hasn't. So I'm using my limited role as a SW blogger to put the idea out there and hope the powers that be say, "Wow, that is a good idea. Let's make that happen."

Yes, I know that I will have no rights to this idea but I don't really care. I don't know how I would get anything out of it anyway seeing as I'm just a lowly fan and don't have money or resources to develop this item.

If it happens though, maybe those powers that be will makes sure I get one of the items (hopefully for free).

And maybe this is all for nothing. Maybe those powers that be already considered this item and rejected it for reasons I can't fathom.

I want a real-sized, metal, weighted flashlights that are famous Jedis' light saber handles. A good quality flashlight (like a Maglite) that takes a few C or D batteries. It would look and feel like a "real" light saber and have a belt clip.

This flashlight would work like any other good flashlight. It can be used to see in the dark AND be an accessory to a costume.

As a SW fan and geeky-wannabe Jedi, I would really like to have my flashlight light saber on my belt when I go to work in the crawl space of the basement, or on the car. The best time would be going trick-or-treating with the kids and be able to have a practical flashlight that also matches my costume.

There can also be smaller plastic ones for younger children. But I think the older (adult) SW fans would be willing to pay the $20-$50 for a good quality flashlight that looks like their favorite light saber.

If you like this idea, and would probably buy one, throw a comment on here. Maybe if there are enough, those powers that be will say, "Maybe we should look into that."
