Yes folks, lightsabers do actually exist, just not the kind that can slice open a Tauntaun for warm shelter in a pinch. Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) has a line of Lightsaber motherboards, the newest of which is the Z370-Lightsaber supporting Intel's 8th generation Core Coffee Lake processors.

Talk about a blast from the past. For those who might be relatively new to PC building, ECS was very much an active player in the DIY scene back in the day. It was also usually associated with cheap hardware and perhaps did not have the greatest reputation among enthusiasts, though it did (and still does) dabble with higher-end product offerings on occasion. It was also active in the OEM scene.
