Surprisingly …

… those Master Replica light-up lightsabers are pretty sturdy in a duel.

There’s a whole bunch of them down in the Media section at my part-time job. They just sit in a corner and collect dust because the idiots at corporate don’t understand that if they’d just bargain-table them they might actually bring in some green. There’s a Darth Vader saber that’s been opened and just sits against the wall. In the back of the store, there’s a Luke Skywalker saber that was supposed to have been returned to the manufacturer as “defective”, but never actually got returned.

I’ve been talking with this guy at work, B., about how we should have a lightsaber duel sometime. I worked at the Media Info desk my last couple hours yesterday, and while he was doing recovery near that section, he ran to the back, grabbed the Skywalker saber, and we dueled it out for about ten minutes.

There was only one customer in the section: he was wearing a Federal cavalry cap and kept complaining that we didn’t segregate our Emo music books from our hard rock music books and seemed not to understand that I don’t make filing decisions for the company, but I think of all of our patrons, he probably was the one to mind the least our saber-fighting.
