Whether inspired by “The Mandalorian and Grogu” or something else, my Instagram feed has recently been filled with videos of people making their own lightsabers out of nothing but parts they bought at their local hardware store.
As someone who loves both Star Wars and hardware stores, this proved too irresistible not to try myself. So, like the Millennium Falcon being pulled in by the Death Star’s tractor beam, I beelined to my local Lowe’s to find the parts I needed to make my own laser sword.
