Interactive Jedi Lightsaber Price: £49.95

There are 390,000 of them in the UK (according to the 2001 census) and they're the guardians of peace and order throughout the galaxy. Want to be a Jedi Knight, too?

If so, you'll need one of these. Just ignore those who say hokey weapons and ancient religions are no match for a good blaster at your side.

The lightsaber's not as clumsy or random as a blaster - it is an elegant weapon from a more civilised age. And this model is loads better than the 1980s version: the torch with a white tube attached.

It's blue (a good start), makes whooshing noises and allows Obi Wan (now there's a name I've not heard for a long time) to talk through it. It even extends and retracts. So forget whingeing about wanting to go to Tashi to pick up some power converters.
