After damaging his lightsaber while running away from a massacre back when he was a child—before the events of Studio Colorido’s Tatooine Rhapsody—former Padawan Jay is never able to get the weapon to function properly, which always reminds him of his traumatic past. While the broken saber brings him some grief, it also ends up becoming a reminder that there are multiple paths in life that the Force guides people along. For Jay and his fellow bandmates, that path involves becoming the latest sensation in the galaxy after putting on the performance of their lives for Jabba the Hutt.

Conceptually, the idea of a would-be Jedi deciding to become the lead singer of a rock band who sings into a lightsaber is cool as hell, and Jay’s micsaber is, to be fair, pretty snazzy. But every time he holds it up to his face, you can’t help but worry that the thing’s finally going to start functioning as it was made to, and lead to a terrible, terrible accident.
