This one was texted to me by a coworker. I wasn’t going to answer it, because it’s a very easy answer, but since I couldn’t think of a better question to post about, this is what I’m going with.

What is your favorite sci-fi weapon?

I’m pretty sure that everyone my age (that’s a sci-fi fan, at least) has the same answer: the lightsaber.

Sure, there’s blasters, phasers, and even the Death Star planet blower-upper, but the lightsaber has always been the height of badassery to me. As far as I’m concerned, nothing else even comes close.

What about you? Do you have a favorite sci-fi weapon?
