Will it ever be possible to make a lightsaber?

I know that you can make a lightsaber with a high power laser beam and a block at the end, but is it possible to have a concentrated beam of laser that can only go so far and all that jazz!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer:
With today's technology, or even the technologies that are on the horizon, definitely not. But 100 or 200 years from now, we can only imagine what new discoveries will be made that might make something like a light saber possible.

.
doubt it, how would you get the beam to stop? It's light after all...
not really
yeah, quite impossible, since laser beams are light and u cant get them to stop travelling can u?
Not in the way the movies show them. You'd have to have something on the end to stop the laser, otherwise the beam would go on forever. Its cutting strength would diminish over distance, but i don't think that uncertainty would be desirable. I think the most realistic version of a light saber would look like those long fluorescent lamps that you can hold, where the bulb would be the beam. Also, since we have projectile weapons a glorified sword won't really help much. I bet it'd be used more as a fancy cutting torch than an actual weapon.
its possible. but instead of using a lasser it would be a force field. consentrated energy in a controled enviroment.
Depends on what you mean by a lightsaber. The toys used in the Star Wars movie seem to be remarkably ineffective as weapons. It is possible to build a weapon that can throw enough energy to cause damage, but it would not be portable.
contain a plasma beam in an electromagnetic containment field. Similar to how fusion reactors work.
Who needs a light saber...give me a 357 Magnum any day.
