Lightsaber Club


Meghan McGrath

Lightsaber Club is dedicated not only to lightsabers, but to Star Wars as a whole. The club was started last year, when several members of Comic Book Club wanted to share their interest in Star Wars. Club members focus on the plot and characters of the popular movies. Mr. Wallace, the advisor, says that the club has started a book on the history of the lightsaber and plans to make a book on the art of handling lightsabers. The technique is based on samurai sword work and includes a mixture of other cultures, as well. Students in the club can make their own lightsaber out of sink parts. The club meets Tuesdays in Mr. Wallace’s room during ninth period.
