Well, he didn’t get to use a real one, but one man used a toy lightsaber to defend himself from a knife-wielding attacker and it actually worked.
I’m going to take a guess and assume that he was way too busy defending himself to make any lightsaber noises at the time.
It’s safe to say that if you are a Star Wars fan then at some point in your life you’ve wanted to be in a real lightsaber fight.
Re-enacting famous duels from the movies can only get you so far and you dream of the day when you don’t have to make the signature noises from your mouth.
