This isn't a bad product, considering all the Star Wars junk out there right now. It's not actually full sized from what I can gather even from observation from the movie, keeping in mind how tall David Prowse is. It has the cool start up and shut down lightsabre noises, but It could also use the hum. The illumination provided isn't as powerful as other LED torches you can get, but it is red so it's less harmful to your night vision, if that is a concern. Neat gimmick, not as good as a ‘real’ torch. I wish there was a way of disabling the Try Me button without taking it apart, it has a habit of nudging on with light touches. If you can't get one of those light n sound Darth Vader lightsabres they used to sell, then this isn't bad.
