Yoda Build, Part 9 - "Can You Hand Me That Flashlight?"

The 13th and final bag o' parts contains the elements necessary for building Yoda's green light saber, as well as the hands wielding it.


Yoda's fingers follow the same formula as his toes, with the use of hinged pieces that impart bendability so that he might grasp the hilt of the weapon.


The light saber energy beam is made up of stacked green trans-clear 2x2 round bricks.

So, a quick search on the Wonderful World Wide Web will reveal that there are some outfits out there that sell lighting kits for Yoda's light saber.

I will likely be retro-fitting such a feature into this build at a later date.  Since I have worked 40 plus years in the electronics industry, I have the means and know-how to go DIY on this at much less cost.

Lastly, the hand assemblies attach to Technics pins built into the robe sleeves earlier in the build.
