Craftsmanship is excellent. Sound features are well done and add to the overall alignment with the films. Friends were impressed too - I encouraged them to look at the Ultra Saber website. I now have two sabers which will be the center pieces of the floating entertainment center I'm building. Need to find a way to remotely activate the sabers - it would be impressive. It would also be interesting for the sabers to activate and deactivate the blade with a graduated light effect - as in the films. This is NOT any form of criticism, again I'm impressed with everything - it is merely a suggestion for consideration. Cheers!
