==== Parodies ====
In the 1987 film ''[[Spaceballs]]'' by [[Mel Brooks]], "the Schwartz" is a play on "[[the Force]]", from ''Star Wars''. The lightsabers emanate from the Schwartz-rings, rather than a hilt.  The cartoon series ''[[Futurama]]'' features many lightsaber-style weapons, notably expanding batons used by police. The batons glow and "whoosh" with a lightsaber's distinctive hum, but are used to beat people. In Jim Butcher's ''[[Dresden Files]]'' novel series, medical examiner and ''Star Wars'' fan [[Waldo Butters]] wields one of the three holy Swords of the Cross, which re-fashions itself into a lightsaber upon accepting him as its owner. In [[Yuya Sato (novelist)|Yuya Sato]]'s ''[[Danganronpa: Togami]]'' [[light novel]] trilogy, main antagonist [[List of Danganronpa characters#Orvin Elevator|Orvin Elevator / Kazuya Togami]] wields a lightsaber built into their prosthetic arm, to which they are berated for copyright infringement by [[Toko Fukawa|Genocider Syo / Genocide Jack]]; in the [[anime]] ''[[Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School]]'', this same lightsaber is instead depicted as a flaming mechanical ''[[katana]]'' wielded by [[Kyosuke Munakata]].
