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.
