Difficult to wield effectively though
This reminds me of a discussion I had with Ms Foxtrot's little brother last night. He's gone off Star Wars because it's "unrealistic" and was enthusing about Hellboy. Unable to let it go, I opined that possibly lightsabres were no less realistic than a massive red demon with a giant stone hand, he told me in no uncertain terms that said giant stone hand would be easier to make and operate IN REAL LIFE than a lightsabre.

How old is he?

Eleven
I taught him about Star Wars when he was five and enjoyed it enormously. Now it's "childish", apparently. And, since he discovered LOTR, not violent enough. He's on the cusp of becoming that annoying breed of child who knows they're right at all times in the face of every conceivable form of evidence to the contrary.

Or "FreeFair", as once we knew him.

He mysteriously disappeared at about the same time as The Luggage published an extensive and worryingly-detailed account of Monty sodomising him
