Perhaps the most famous prop weapon in the history of movies is the lightsaber, used by both the brave Jedi Knights and the evil Sith Lords, in George Lucas's Star Wars film series. This iconic movie weapon is one of the most coveted movie memorabilia, and not surprisingly, the originals props used in the movies are almost never for sale. Despite this, given the appeal of the lightsaber, it's not surprising that a wide range of replica versions are available to collectors.
The origin of the lightsaber is variously attributed to classic science fiction stories that describe force-field weapons, and to certain episodes of sci-fi TV shows, but Lucas is on record as stating that he simply wanted a weapon that allowed for swordfights like those in period adventure films, such as The Adventures of Robin Hood, and since simple metal swords would seem out of place, and the film already contained laser guns, the obvious solution was for "laser swords".
The original props seen in A New Hope were scratch built from old camera-flash battery packs and miscellaneous hardware. Perhaps not surprisingly, the exact battery packs used are now invariably difficult to find, due to collectors wishing to "remake" the original props. Later films used custom machined designs, although in some cases components from earlier models were re-used, such as part of Obi-Wan's lightsaber being used as the basis for Luke's lightsaber seen in the final film.
The lightsaber effect seen in the movies is entirely done in post-production, even on the original films, with the film frames individually painted over to produce the pulsing glow. This was not the original intention however, as the initial plan was to use spinning blades coated with alternating patches of reflective material, and mount a directional light beside the camera, so that the blades would physically reflect back the light. In practice the end result wasn't particularly effective, so the post-production option was taken instead.
