Let's all hope that thing hasn't yet become fully operational.
Farther from home, the Hubble Space Telescope has photographed what looks like a cosmic, double-bladed lightsaber in the Orion B molecular cloud complex, located 1,350 light-years away. That's just a short hop once you've fired up the hyperdrive.
