MFEO: The Force Unleashed and Dual Glow Sabers

GeekSugar — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:30:25 -0700

There are very few things that were made for each other. Peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, bananas and chocolate. But now, I think I've found a new pair. It's the newly released Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and the soon-to-be-released dreamGEAR Dual Glow Sabers. Let's be honest, how many hours did you spend as a kid battling it out Jedi style with your little bro? I personally preferred wrapping paper tubes as the light saber stand-in, but these are a Star Wars fan's dream come true. The best part? They're only $20 bucks.

And you don't have to use the sabers just on your Star Wars titles either. You can utilize them in any game that uses a slashing motion. But who has time for "other" games when we're only a month and a half away from Halloween? Although I could pick up the sassy Amidala costume, my hand made Leia costume is calling - and somehow, these will need to be incorporated. I'd better get to sewing.
