'Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens' is looking to be the largest movie release of 2015—and possibly of all time. Before we get there though, there's have another monumental day in Star Wars history to look forward to.

In celebration of this day, and looking back into Star Wars' storied past, HalloweenCostumes.com wanted to take a look at that most iconic weapon of the Star Wars Universe, the lightsaber.
Obi-Wan Kenobi famously calls the lightsaber, "An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age."
