Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.
A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.

The pair were rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded in woodland at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

A third person present at the incident had been questioned, police said.

Wow, those Star War fans were pretty mindless. They must've been too cheap to buy replicas or use computer editing.

Seriously, editing video to make a very nice looking light sabre is one of the easiest and most common film editing effects these days. i dont know what morons would actually try to do it without film editing...

Japanese manufacturer Happinet (we’re not making that up) is taking pre-orders for the “Rain Lightsaber.” Now you (for only $85US) can turn that idle umbrella into a lethal staff-of-doom! We’d drop the cash if only the screen opened into the shape of Lord Vader’s helmet allowing us to peer menacingly through his eyes while protecting our combovers. Hint: if you plan to video tape yourself shadow fighting with one of these then please, we beg you, do not share the tape with friends — they will upload it to BitTorrent. And for crissake, do NOT fill it with gasoline!
