A non-lethal weapon inspired by the lightsaber of Star Wars is being developed in the U.S. Unlike the one seen in the science-fiction movie series, it won't really have a laser blade that slices. Instead, it will be like a pulsing powerful flashlight that causes disorientation and nausea. It is thought to be useful for crowd control and other anti-personnel purposes. Human rights groups have expressed fear that it will be sold in the black market and used illicitly. In spite of this, research on the weapon continues.On the left is a diagram of the fictional lightsaber of the Star Wars universe. Jedis can make these themselves, just like what Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) did.
