Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber Heading Into Space

Boston (dbTechno) - The 30th anniversary celebration of Star Wars is being given the golden treatment as the original lightsaber used by Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi will be aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery when it launches in October.

Many Star Wars characters arrived on scene today to deliver the famous lightsaber which Luke used to save the galaxy from the Empire.

The lightsaber is going to be on display at the Space Center Houston through Labor Day as well for those who want to check it out.

This is a very interesting and unique move by NASA as it is also very exciting. It may not be the most scientific thing they have ever done, but I will be watching as will every other Star Wars fan when that shuttle takes off.
