George Lucas says laser too much like lightsaber

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas wants to force a laser company to stop making a new, high-powered product he says looks too much like the famous lightsaber from his classic sci-fi series.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/...?d=7Q72WNTAKBA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/...uE:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/rss/...uE:gIN9vFwOqvQ

WOW. It seems like Lucas is getting desperate... Nobody gives a crap about Star Wars anymore, it's all Harry Potter and Twilight now.... That's just pathetic though. Seriously? The laser's handle isn't silver, and it doesn't have a grip like lightsabers do.... so basically the only thing that is similar is the fact it's futuristic looking.. which is bull. According to that theory, they could basically sue anyone who made a laser with more than just a flat cylinder as a handle :/

My brother and I were talking about this last night... Well, not only light sabers, but how he was just going to remake all of the movies in 3D.
