James Hobson’s lightsaber is not a toy.

The YouTuber and his team at Hacksmith Industries in Kitchener, Ont., have created a hyper-realistic, retractable plasma lightsaber that reaches a scorching heat of 2,200 C.

“That’s above the melting point of most metals,” Hobson told As It Happens host Carol Off. “It’s pretty dangerous.”
