Any wannabe Jedi Masters who have been dreaming of owning the sword seen in the [popular Star Wars trilogy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set) will be using the force to commandeer a Wicked Lasers LaserSaber. Or, more realistically, they will just drop a hundred bucks and buy it from the Internet.

The [high-powered laser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matelaser-w1-regen) is an add on to the Syder 3 from the company that bolsters an impressive range of 85 miles and shines 8,000 times brighter than the sun. With this kind of blinding capability, it's probably a good thing that each product comes equipped with a pair of [safety goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualbarrel-edc) to protect those peepers from the highly concentrated light source.

While the company provides a disclaimer that this product is "not a toy," one would be hard-pressed to find a nerd out there who wouldn't invite all their friends over to have a duel with these bad boys.
