This week's geek girl is heavy on an an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Lightsabers have popped up in all kinds of places around the interwebs lately, but I guess that any weapon that's not as random or clumsy as a blaster is bound to be pretty popular!

Enjoy the links! This tired geek girl (who made a 61 page photo album in a marathon Photoshop session today) is sleepy and going to bed!
