It’s not an exact replica but looks pretty good. This project shouldn’t take more than 3 minutes and about $20.00 to assemble. It will take longer to acquiring the supplies.

First I went to Target and found to 2 “Star Wars - Darth Vader. lightsaber”s for about $8.00. The ones I found had flat bottoms… that will help later.

cant guarantee a successful encounter with Qui-Gon, but you’ll impress most first graders. And that’s all I was trying to do.
