This all happens by hand, and once the insides of the flash are gone, that's when Michael can drill holes for grips and put his own chassis inside.

這一切都是手工完成的，一旦閃光燈的內側消失，邁克爾就可以鑽孔安裝手柄，並在裡面裝上自己的底盤。

When you get a lightsaber, you swing it around and stuff, and to make sure everything didn't break, he took a design cue from RC cars and built a custom chassis.

The nice thing about this is that the combination of ABS and aluminum piping and the way it's hooked together and the plates that I've created allow it to flex a little bit in various places, but the electronic components aren't completely absorbing that.

So obviously making a lightsaber is super easy.

這聽起來可能有些誇張，是的，世界上有比複製電影道具更重要的事情，但創造這樣的東西所需要的激情卻很美好。

It's a reminder of the power storytelling has to encourage and inspire, to bring people across the world together in pursuit of a common goal, and that's a gift that artists like Michael get to pass along, too.

它提醒人們，講故事具有鼓勵和啟發的力量，能讓世界各地的人們團結起來，追求共同的目標，而這也是邁克爾這樣的藝術家能夠傳遞的禮物。
