Features

Lightsaber Customisation

Choose your weapon, from a set of four iconic options:

• Luke’s Training Lightsaber
• Luke’s Jedi Lightsaber
• Darth Maul’s Lightsaber
• Mace Windu’s Lightsaber

Attack Training

The Jedi Master first records three lightsaber moves and saves the waveforms using the UI buttons. Then, when the young padawan successfully replays any of these moves, SmartSaber will let them know through the relevant indicator and play a cool sound effect

An example “triple-threat” of moves that can be loaded to the program are:

Downward Slash	Overhead Block	Reflector Spin
