While Kotobukiya claims these are suitable for eating sushi and defending the universe, I find myself doubting it. Don't get me wrong, you could probably eat sushi with them, though somehow I just don't see you taking down a Sith with a pair of chop sticks. Unless, of course, you're a Jedi Jackie Chan. Then again, if the latest Star Wars movies are to be believed, every Jedi is Jackie Chan. 

With two different sizes and three colors to choose from, the full sized Chop Sabers are 9", while the smaller children's size is only 7" long, and should be on sale at San Diego Comic-Con International later this month. No word yet on price, or if they actually slice through anything, though I can't imagine it'd be useful if they did-- maybe for Tonkatsu or something... or murder. They're also apparently translucent, as if that'd make them any less tacky. If you're planning on picking up a pair of these, you might also like a copy of the Japanese Star Wars manga, which might be a better choice if you have to choose between the two. As for the Chop Sabers, you can see more of those at the official website here.
