We’re getting closer to actually living in Star Wars. YouTuber Alex Burkan recently received a Guinness World Record for creating the world’s first retractable lightsaber! The 3ft plasma blade can reach up to 5,072 Fahrenheit.

Although the lightsaber can only function for 30 seconds, it can cut through steel just like in the movies.

Alex plans on making a real-life functioning Ironman suit next!
