I was obsessed with those foam sword toys when I was a kid. Any sword toy was enough to get me excited. I don't think I owned a lightsaber or a medieval knight foam sword, but boy howdy, was I fixated on them at the toy store and my friend's houses. The best thing about sword toys was that they gave you a socially acceptable tool to fight your friends. It's generally frowned upon to get into a fistfight with your friends, even if it is just for play. Swords give you the opportunity to swing a giant stick at your friend, and it allows your friend to wack the big stick back. It's every kid's dream until someone inevitably gets whacked in the face by a lightsaber.
Of course, there are more sophisticated, modern, adult ways to look at sword fighting. Take fencing, for instance. Only the fanciest children and adults swordfight with those skinny sticks. If you love swords in any form, these sword memes might take you back to more swashbuckling times in history.
