I have an invention which would have ensured many, many more fight victories for the Jedi Knights and for the wizards in Harry Potter's world:
A wrist-strap for their light sabres and their wands.
I can believe that a guy can fly on a broom, teleport, and lift objects with his mind. But it really pushes my suspense of disbelief to the breaking point that nobody ever thought to put wrist-straps on those things. They drop them in every dang battle they are in!

Well, yes. But maybe they're like chainsaws: when you no longer have a firm grip on them, you don't want them to be close to your body.
Jan does have a point. If you dropped a light saber and it was attached to you, you might cut a limb off.

I thought of that when I first played a Wii. Of course for a lightsaber that would mean having it in your hand all the time.

Only if you kept it switched on all the time, or if the button to switch it on was really sensitive.
They seem to have a "dead man switch", they shut off when they are not gripped, judging from the handle only rolling over the floor.
By the way, it should have some edges so it doesn't roll so far. :-)
As far as that goes, why not also carry two? ;-)
I dunno, man, I could swear I've seen at least one scene where it stayed on like a second after they dropped it. I feel like there was a scene where someone even threw one at somebody, but maybe I just imagined that one.
By the way, that double-pointed one the Sif guy has, has to be more dangerous to the user than the enemy!

It was prepared that way specially for that one fight because he thought it would be really cool. If nothing else, Vader was a showman.
w.v.: squif

Agreed. But then it just looked so boss.
Can't argue with that. We have to face that the Bad Guys were much better showmen than the boring Jedi in their muted robes.
The Dark Side had way better parties too.
I'm not sure the Emperor or Vader would be that great at a party, but maybe when they're not on the job they're a lot more fun.
