To mark the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars series, NASA will be taking the lightsaber prop used in"Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" into space! On October 23, 2007, Luke's lightsaber will be launching with the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. I think this is so cool. Now, if only NASA can make a real lightsaber, that would be totally awesome! Click here for more photos of the hand-off.
