August 27, 2007 â€” When the space shuttle Discovery launches the STS-120 crew in October, the force will be with them.

Stowed on-board the orbiter, in addition to a new module for the international space station, will be the original prop lightsaber used by actor Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in the 1977 film "Star Wars". The laser-like Jedi weapon is being flown to the orbiting outpost and back in honor of the 30th anniversary of director George Lucas' franchise

Yeah...one of the astronauts will accidentally turn it on and singlehandedly take out the entire international space station by swinging it into a fuel line!

What, you didn't know? The one Mark Hamill used was REAL! Oops, cya later space station.
