They used a wooden dowel wrapped with reflective tape. You'll notice that
almost every time it "extends" in the original Episode IV movie, they're
lifting it up, or turning it to the side, or doing something else that lets
the perspective work out such that it looks like it's getting longer.
Then, you sit down and have someone with an xacto knife scratch the film on
each frame where the blade is and then paint over it.

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?
