After posting about my broken light saber blade it seemed the trolls all came out to comment. For those of you who obviously have no idea about the Star Wars collectors market, I offer you a few items to educate you. The first of which are three YT links that show Ray Park, the actor who played Darth Maul, doing a demo and some choreography during a show. Ray is a martial arts and sword master and was chosen by George Lucas to not only star but to choreograph the fight in the movie. Please take a minute to watch all 3 parts.

Secondly, for those of you who think these are "kids toys", they're not. No more than a $600 airsoft rifle or a $900 paintball gun is. Do a google search for "Ultrasabers" and see what this guy makes and now much they cost, then come back and post about how the average 12-16 year old can plunk down $150 to $300 for a fighting saber. And seriously, Google some Comicon videos for Christ's sake and see the fun that goes on at those, even for an old guy like me.

I got into "playing" with light sabers as a way of getting back into an exercise program, lose weight and to have a little fun. In the 4 months I've been actively sparring I've lost 28 lbs, gotten a lot of mobility back and made surprisingly a lot of friends on the central California coast. For you trolls that think this is a nerds only deal, we have one person who is a double black belt who helps choreograph out fights, if you like I can arrange a meeting where you may all him a nerd in person, that is unless you're happy just being an online tough guy. We have people from 60 to around 10 years old, men and women, all races and body types. Not all are Jedi's, we have storm troopers and smugglers too.

Lastly, I know this is Live Leaks, I'm not new to the site. My old profile was active from 2006 until earlier this summer when I closed it and moved from Fresno to the coast. I know there are trolls here, that don't bother me. But please, don't show how ignorant you really are by commenting like you know something Star Wars and the collectibles market if you have no idea. It don't make me look like a child, it makes you look like an idiot.

And the John Goodman comments...I know John Goodman, John Goodman is a friend of mine...and I am no John Goodman.
