lightsaber

Humming energy blade

A lightsaber is a fictional weapon from the Star Wars universe—a sword with a blade made of concentrated energy or plasma, typically wielded by Jedi and Sith.

The blade extends from a metal hilt and can cut through almost anything.

Lightsabers have become iconic in popular culture, referenced whenever futuristic or elegant weaponry is discussed: They were swinging toy lightsabers in the backyard.
