[/li][li]Is that a real lightsaber? Yes. [/li][li]Can you turn it on? If it's just a hilt, then no, it's low on batteries.  [/li][li]or other such questions I've had people ask me: what is that light stick thing called? Thought that was funny. |

If it's a kid, I say it's a training or practice saber, and then I turn it on so they can see the light and hear the sound effects. If I have to, I'll tell them I'm not allowed to use the real one around kids, or unless there's a war on or some such nonsense since it's so dangerous...
If it's an adult, I just flick it on and they almost always say, "That's cool!"
If they don't know it's called a lightsaber, then tell them! You are a spokesperson for the Jedi! A few days ago I had to explain that I was Jedi to someone who'd never seen the PT...

Is that a real lightsaber?
- "Why yes it is"
Can you turn it on?
-"Yes I can, but it's against the code to turn it on in a muesum/bday party etc"
-"Yes, but the safety's on"
-"No, the battery ran out, I could turn it on if you had a CR125THX1138 power cell on you"
or other such questions
-Be creative?
I had a stock MR saber hanging on my belt under my cloak. I had a converted saber without the blade hanging visibly. A kid asked to see the saber and how to turn it on. I handed him the one without the blade, he turned it on, it was just a flashlight. I told him he was doing it wrong, then put it back under my cloak. He asked me to show him how to do it and I pulled out the FX sabers and swung it around a bit. The kid was amazed.
If kids ask to see my saber, I may ask them if they have their lightsaber learners permit on them. If they say yes, I ask to verify it....and it usually ends there.
