Oh yeah, now light sabres are totally legit...and I want one.
I remember watching a TV show as a little kid in the mid-70's called The Rat Patrol (1966-1968). Man I loved that show...I thought their jeep was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Now, they were the type of blokes who'd pick up grenades and hurl them back.
I remember those mads you showed too, although never read any of them. But...now I want to watch The Rat Patrol.
enjoy!! I bet you can find it on you tube lol,
