This Special Edition lightsaber is based off Darth Maul's first lightsaber design with nods to the one seen in The Clone Wars season 7. Compared to the Episode I model, this one has more screen accurate proportions (much thinner), the controls are hidden beneath the actual hilt buttons and the charging ports are not visible on the hilt. It also features the same saber coupler as the one used on the Clone Wars s7 version and features a heavy weathering process. It's built as two unique lightsabers that connect together with a specific coupler, included in your box. They'll always work independently in terms of electronics so you can even choose different colors or different sound fonts for each side of the staff. ADDITIONAL 1-2 WEEKS PRODUCTION TIME : Note that the weathered look is achieved through manual process and no saber will look alike. It may end up looking different from the pictures. An additional week or two of work may be required for this specific 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.   SEE IT IN VIDEO   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 now with a Xeno 3 board, featuring rich sounds, lots of effects and customizable through a mobile app or via SD card.
