      What an awesome question! Its a definite no I’m afraid. The hardest part would be to make the laser beam “stop” because lasers don’t normally stop until they hit something. A laser that strong would need to be liquid cooled so the power pack would have to be HUGE. Also clashing lightsaber blades would be impossible – the beams would just pass straight through each other and make for a very boring duel without the cool sound effects!

      I think that is a very good answer by Jim….5/5 🙂
