Might you get a lightsaber engagement ring?
At the time this post was written Etsy store DTEK Designs still had one Lightsaber engagement ring to see. It would only set you back a couple of thousand. Too expensive for you? Too soon? I recommend booking these 4 geeky Valentine’s Day cards so you can prepare for next year.

There would be many dramatic moments. You’d have to reach into some cinematic games in order to complete your impressive fan made trailer.
