" A lightsaber is easier to repair than an iPhone 6, a Nikon DSLR, or an Amazon Kindle Fire. That&amp;#039;s what the team at iFixit found when they tore apart an elegant weapon to celebrate May the Fourth, or Star Wars Day. Using the same tweezers and meticulous step-by-step descriptions that they use to take apart Apple Watches and iPhones, the iFixit team dissembled a lightsaber made by Obi-Wan Kenobi (aka Bradley Lewis, lead visual-effects artist at Bioware, who lent his hand-made lightsaber to iFixit for the special occasion). The weapon, manufactured in 22 BBY, has a blue Adegan crystal\u2014which, iFixit notes, must be precisely positioned to prevent an explosion when the sword is turned on.  Old Ben&amp;#039;s light sword gets 10 out of 10 on iFixit&amp;#039;s repairability score thanks to its durable and easily removed parts, plus a power cell that lasts as long as the lightsaber itself. Yet somehow 10 out of 10 doesn&amp;#039;t mean perfect. The crystal would be hard to replace, iFixit notes, requiring &amp;quot;a trip to remote star systems, or paying a hefty fee to an enterprising smuggler.&amp;quot; And there&amp;#039;s no user manual, which would also probably remind you not to do this when you&amp;#039;re seeing whether your repairs were successful:  Source: iFixit "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
