This lightsaber is a more basic take on Obi-Wan's lightsaber. Lighter and simpler in design, it will be better for dueling and training and is a perfect compromise for cosplayers on a budget.
DESIGN UPDATE: as of November 2024 the core and button design have changed as reflected in the new pictures. The button is now more discreet and integrated on the 'grenade' section. The core is now a slide-out core.
The saber has a covertec wheel for belt attachement. The emitter is made a bit deeper to allow for better blade retention. Where it mostly diverges from our Obi-Wan replica is the missing control box, which allows for more comfortable grip. Simpler aluminium CNC machining and less variety of parts and finish processes make it a less screen accurate but a very affordable version of Obi Wan's lightsaber.
Like all of our amazing sabers, this hilt is made of aluminium 6063. Every saber boasts stunning finishes on a great build with strong materials to offer either the best reproduction of a legendary design or a very comfortable and yet stylish dueling weapon.

SABER CONFIGURATIONS
Here's a simple breakdown of our available configurations. See our "Which version to choose ?" info box above for more details.
🥉Standard : the base model with a Xeno 3 board, featuring rich sounds, lots of effects and customizable through a mobile app or via SD card. Standard sabers are baselit sabers with a lighter blade made for heavy dueling. Perfect if you plan on doing cosplay or stunt/duel performances or if you simply don't need the neopixel blade.
🥈Premium : it's our most wanted option! The same Xeno 3 board but with a neopixel blade. The high density LED strip in the blade allows for an amazing look and tons of visual effects. Now customizable through a mobile app and, as usual, via the SD card.
DIMENSIONS
📐 Dimensions of the hilt : 30,5 cm / 12 inches in length, weighs approx. 510g / 0.77 lbs
📐 Dimensions of the blade : it's our 1 inch diameter standard, then you choose between 72, 82, 92 cm (28, 32 or 36 inches) for the length. Polycarbonate thickness is 2mm for Standard sabers and 3mm for Premium and Deluxe sabers.
📏 Recommended length of your lightsaber : a lot of academies and fencing federations request that the total length of your dueling saber stays between 100 and 110cm (39.4 to 43.4 inches). The blade usually sits inside the hilt for about 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 inches). If you mean to use your saber in an official setting, be careful and choose the appropriate size, if you don't care for this, go for the longer blade length : 36 inches / 92 cm.
