The subject I picked for this issue before we go to the 
trivia, is Jedi Lightsabers.  I hope this clears up most 
of your confusion about them.  Next Issue, I'll feature 
some info on the ships in the STAR WARS UNIVERSE. 
In this Issue, I focused mainly on the Star Wars Trilogy 
and not the all the other books (Jedi Search, Truce at 
Bakura Etc.) Anyways here it is:

JEDI

  
LIGHTSABERS

For more than a thousand generations, during the 
reign of the Old Republic, a masterfully-trained and 
dedicated order known as the Jedi served as the guardians
 of peace and justice.  Spread across a thousand worlds, they 
brought calm and confidence to the centenzry, who knew 
that few dared to cross the knights of that revered and 
ancient group.  A prime reason for the intense respect the
Jedi had earned was their masterful use of a weapon they 
themselves had created - the Lightsaber.

The Lightsaber is a product of an ancient, once 
forgotten technology.  It is an exquisite weapon, one that 
flows and moves as its master moves.  The skillful 
wielding of its legendary blade was considered the true 
mark of a Jedi, right up until the reign of Emperor 
Palpatine and his Empire began--at which time, the Jedi 
were hunted down and elimated.

While the order of the Jedi is all but extinct, a few of 
their elegant weapons remain.  One Lightsaber, 
constructed by Anakin Skywalker,  belonged to the last of 
the Jedi, Luke Skywalker.  Anakin Skywalker's 'saber was 
roughly 34-30 centimeters long and featured a handle 
body of polished durasteel. An inner shell contained the 
incredible energies generated within, without 
transmitting their heat to the device's outer surfaces. 
(Luke Skywalker lost his father's Lightsaber during 
combat on Bespin, at the expense of his right hand--lost 
to the blade of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.)

Using what he had learned from the detailed 
examination (and skilled use) of his father's Lightsaber, 
Luke Skywalker, like all Jedi before him, built his 
replacement Lightsaber himself.  This new, self-built unit
shares those elements common to all 'sabers:  It houses a 
power cell within the handgrip; crystallite lenses are 
faceted to perfection; focusing core channels the intense 
energy of the cell into a coherent beam that bends 
circumferentally back upon itself to create a cutting 
"blade."

A Lightsaber can be wielded properly only after years 
of extensive training and disciplined use. The Jedi, it is 
told, could deflect blaster bolts and particle beams by the 
skilled use of their blades. Often the mere sight of the 
intensely-luminous blade and the unique, indescribable 
hum of that same blade slicing the air served to scatter 
most opposition.

 STAR WARS 

    TRIVIA 2.0

Sorry about what I'm about to say , but I'm not going to 
release a answer sheet to SWT 1.0 because it would just 
simply take to long. You can however just reply to me 
at : Kyp Durron, Jedi Night, or BJGP33C on Prodigy. As 
I said before, I'm focusing on the actual SW Movies this 
time. Because I thought that the first issue(edition) had to
many sources to pick from.  

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, 
far away............

I'm not telling you what it is, when it will come out or 
anything. I just know that everyone will love it!! (It will 
be on the Comp. of course).
