We knew it had to happen sooner or later, but a bunch of guys in Kitchener, Ontario had been working on making a real lighsaber for years now.

Their second attempt was a metal rod that would glow yellow-hot:
Their third attempt uses a real, retractable plasma beam that can change colour. Here's the build video:

Tell me that's not one of the coolest things that you've ever seen and I'll call you a liar straight to your face! :p
