So, George Lucas is suing a company that makes handheld lasers because they look too much like jedi lightsabers, which they claim to have the copyright on.

This fails to really convey the complete out-of-controlness about this particular model. The video demonstrates what could be considered a more or less average handheld blue laser... and then... well, you just have to see it.

Look directly into it and your children will probably be born blind.

I think George Lucas is actually just jealous

This is the highest order of bullshit.

There is an irony to this. I was looking at the video Dagmar linked just this past weekend and thought to myself how if I had disposable income I'd totally be buying one. At no point during that was I thinking of Star Wars.

It's about time that Lucas loose a legal battle. This sounds like a good one to me. After all, do they have an intention of bringing anything like this to market? Obviously not. I'd like to see Lucas sell something that can blind people. I'd support that.
