Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers

Juniper Foo  |  May 20, 2005

In a galaxy not so far away (try earth), where crazy fan boys are willing to cough out hard-earned lucre to own a piece of Star Wars or parade amidst saner fellowmen as Sith Lords or Storm Troopers, the Force FX Lightsaber is one collectible that's guaranteed to bring out the Jedi in anyone. That said, this isn't for dueling purposes. Nor is it a toy. The sticker price alone should cue you in to that. Having said that, these licensed replicas need more than the Force to activate them, like a fresh set of batteries.

On the Light Side, Anakin Skywalker's saber is a Blue Blade from Revenge of the Sith. For those who've turned to the Dark Side, check out Darth Vader's Red Blade from Empire Strikes Back. Or see both blades lighted up

Price: S$235 (US$119)
Availability: Hobby shops, including one at Suntec City; or check out ThinkGeek
Device: Star Wars collectible
Basic specs: Glowing blades with realistic power-up/down effects, authentic sound effects digitally recorded from movie, motion sensor-controlled sound effects, power-up, idle hum, clash, and power-down, durable metal hilt, sturdy polycarbonate blade attached to hilt, custom-designed display stand

IT WOULD BE SO KOOL TO TAKE THE BLADE OFF OF THE LIGHTSABER SO I CAN CLIP IT ON MY BELT BUT IF IT CANT I DONT CARE ITS SO KOOL AND IM GUNNA BUY ONE I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF THE BLADE CAN COME OFF THE LIGHTSABER

 
quiwanvader says...
in response to your question of the blade removal. no they are not designed to be removed. however i have recently figured out how to safely remove all of the electronics, which the blade is also attached, leaving only the handle. this procedure is reversable too, bringing your force fx lightsaber back to perfect operating condition.

Hi Quiwanvader,
I have a Master Replica Anakin Light Saber (old EL model I think, 2002?) and I'm trying to diassemble it to remove the blade but I'm afraid of damaging it. So far I removed the handle tube to access the battery(x6)compartment + the black PCV coupler + the small screw usually covered by this black coupler,and the big torx screw of the top chrome ring that partly envelop the power switch. Now I"m a bit stumped. Would you be so kind as to let me know how you did it. ouellette.d@videotron.ca

I wish they would lower the price

can you actually fight with them or are they too fragile

 
Supremium says...
Absolutely. But be careful. Striking it very hard in the middle of the blade could snap it directly in half. (not a pretty site, with the sparking and flashing)
My employer at GameStop had a difficult time snapping one. He had to strike a beam with all his strength to shatter it.
Also, dueling will cause some miner white marks on the blade.


 
Supremium says...
Also, there's some awesome video of an on-stage duel at master replicas.com (M.R. is the manufacturer.)
Just click the Force Fx link, then go to the "See it in action" link

I just got one today from the states
It rock's (Anakin ep3)

The saber is a little bit bigger than your average due to the 3 AA batteries that need to be inserted at the bottom of the hilt

The sounds are great and the lightshow is good as well

e-mail if ya have anymore questions

Mace Windu's requires 6 aa's. If you would like any pictures of my two sabers, Vader and Windu, email me.

Ok, i know alot about these so listen up anyone with questions. First of all, the blade is made of glass and it cannot be dueled with or banged against anything. However, they are strong enough for light Jedi-style swinging, twirling, and slashing. The blade is similar to "bar" signs which use neon gas and electrical currents. AS FOR PRICE!: This piece is less expensive than this site shows. It is actually sold for $110 to $130. The handle of this piece is high-quality polished metal, almost exactly like that of a real lightsaber. It comes with a stand so you can display it on a mantle or table. The closest thing to a real lightsaber this side of the galaxy. I hoped this info helped, your father, Darth Vader.

 
Supremium says...
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!
Where'd you get this info.
The blade is made of a polycarbonate, similar to the plastic used as shields by the SWAT team.
In fact, My manager backed his pickup onto one, and it was only dingged.
As for the lights, it is not neon.
It uses an array of 64 led's.
The hilt is 1 1/3 the size of the studio prop.
If anyone would like reliable updates, email me, kerrim@cox.net.

the blade is made of a sturdy polycarbonate, not glass, that is totally wrong. i have the luke esb and my lil bro has the vader esb. they say not to be dueled with but me and my bro play a round with them. not hitting that hard but the blad is strong

 
Anonymous says...
Darth Vader is a fool. Not the real one, the guy posting here. As was previously states, the blade is made of polycarbonate with a string of 62 LED lights that sequentially light up, giving the growing and retracting effect. Just so you guys know, polycarbonate is the same stuff they make bulletproof glass out of. Ive dueled a few times with the force fx, and whacked as hard as I could. No dents, dings, or scrapes. In the US, you can buy them for under $100 at Borders Books and for $100 at Best Buy. Final comment: While they are pretty cool, I made my own lightsaber because it cost about $40 less, looks cooler, and I can do whatever I want with it, as I have already specialized the blade to be removable, opposed to the bad feature of the force fx where it is "permanently" attached to the hilt. May The Force Be With You.

 
MonkeyistheUFO says...
Cool, I have made my own lightsaber hilt, and I am wondering what you used for the lights?

man its off da chain! the noise and the cool look. i just got my sexy darth vader fx and man, all of ya need one. the price is worth it and its realy stylish forget about the not being able ta duel. itd be a waste of mony to just swing lightly and gracefully like a ballarina, i duel with my bro a million times a day(who has an anakin skywalker fx) and we can hit really really really really really hard sometimes and we get no scratches, dents, or cracks. this is a must-have collectible for playa hata star wars peeps, regular fans, and of coarse ya can't forget the die hard fans.

Surprise surprise, you might just be in luck.
In America, Master Replicas (manufacturer)is releasing a few new sabers, and rereleasing another.
Yoda, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and re-releasing Luke's ep. VI.
Darth Maul's is sold as two, and is connected by a study plastic ring.

Hey yoda's brother

im curious as to how you made your saber


 
Anonymous says...
I just got the Vader EPV saber and I'm extremely impressed. It feels so cool in your hands and the sounds are great. The blade seems pretty tough, and I've heard of lots of people dueling with them with no problems. I'm not going to fight with mine. I'll use the cheap hasbro electronic sabers for that. Anyway, if you're a fan and you want a realistic lightsaber, this is what you've been looking for.

i am a record producer.i made the head of a record company buy me anakin and darth sabers in order for me to finish a record i was workin on.they are the best thing that has ever happened to me.very durable for dueling,just don't hit any hard objects around you.mine are getting a little broken in,but that just makes me less scared to really play w/ them!

Just recieved luke skywalker fx and the clash does not work has anybody had this problem.

Some lightsabers have defective sound boards.
If you put fresh batteries in it, and you don't get better results, return it to the retailer you purchased it from.

I heard the blade was actually made from reinforced glass, as in bullet proof. And I've infact seen a video of two guys fighting with them. It was pretty sweet. Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

 
Supremium says...
The blade itself does not include ANY glass, however is made of bullet-proof polycarbonate.

I got to use the Luke and Vader lightsabers for the first time at my friends house last weekend and they rock! The "Fun Factor" was so high I bought the Vader and the Windu sabers today and I plan on taking my friend on in a two-saber-per-person duel. Taking these bad boys outside at night is the only to go. One more thing, has anyone seen the Windu sabers work? Are they as cool as the other two? I'm just throwing that out because I already bought it of course.

 
Anonymous says...
When my friend and I Dueled each other, we didn't really swing that hard (most of the time anyway) and we didn't have any problems with them, but we both are not sure about hitting too hard even though the blade is pretty darn sturdy, last thing you want is to crack them or break them off somehow and end up throwing $100 down the garbage, am I right? But I honestly think that if you are careful, you can duel all you want.

ok i dont have any money what so ever like i had 50 bucks once but i caught it on fire .......i want one of these things for like 50- 85 dollars if any one knows a cheap place e-mail them to me

 
Anonymous says...
first of all, anyone who wants to know anything about these lightsabers listen up. The blade is made of reinforced polycarbonate, a fairly strong plastic, much like glass only stronger. Dueling is ok, but you shouldnt hit to hard or they will break. The blade is nothing like a neon sign, is has 64 LED lights inside the blade, 5 ultra sensitive motion sensors, and 6 different sound effects. It costs $120 (in us currency). The saber itself is aluminum plated with chrome, that is why it costs so much.and, it takes 6 aa batteries, not three. That is it. Its awsome.

 
Supremium says...
not ALL sabers require 6 aa's. only some. The number is specified on the box.

Hey JediMaster, they both are extremely cool and worth the money, TRUST ME, but in the end it depends on the one you're really into. I knew I wanted two from the beginning but I didn't know which two I wanted, so I did some research and eventually decided which two were my favorite and had better ratings. With the two you are choosing from, I have heard from alot of people that the Darth saber is the most sturdy and seems to not have any problems with the LEDs in the blade when you duel and also has that cool idle sound like in the movies. But, the Anakin saber is brighter and stands out more. I was in the same situation with the same two, but after using both, I think the Darth saber is the best if you want to duel, and the Anakin saber is the best if you just want to show it off. (But the Darth saber can do that too). But if you want to know my personal choice, I went with the Darth saber.

 
Anonymous says...
Oh yeah, earlier I said that I used the Luke and Darth sabers, but it was actually the Anakin and Darth sabers, so I got to duel with each in person, and like I said about the LEDs in the Anakin saber- they blink sometimes while you are dueling, and that was possibly one of the main reasons I didn't get the Anakin saber. But still, I have always been a big fan of Darth Vader. I hope my info has helped you in your decision, and if not, you can always flip a coin. lol.

 
Anonymous says...
So the Red is better than Blue for dueling? But I heard that the Red is less realistic than the blue and there is no white in the middle of the saber. So which is better fo r dueling?

Obi Wan Kenobi's handle from Episode 3 is AWESOME. Is it coming OUT? IT is the BEST HANDLE EVER! Also, Qui Gon Jinn. When is that one coming out?

 
Supremium says...
one much like obi-wan's ep. 3 is coming out soon. The luke skywalker ep. 6

I know ah. Qui-Gon-Jinn Is a mad jedi! Why did he have to die in ep1. I have obi wans sabre and it is fully sick!! I want Qui Gons More thogh! Can we trade it in for Qui Gons if and when it comes out!!

 
 
Anonymous says...
Alright, I and many others feel that the Darth saber is better for dueling. Many have noticed that the Anakin saber makes a "creaking" noise when you swing it, and many, including me, have noticed that the LEDs in the Anakin saber blink sometimes when you make contact and a couple guys have posted that they have already blown out a few LEDs in the saber. The Darth saber hasn't had these problems. Also, the only saber I have heard of breaking the blade off was also the Anakin saber. Now don't think I am attacking the Anakin saber, this is just what I read. Next, what do you mean by "less realistic", they both look pretty good to me, and of course the blue saber is brighter and seems to glow around more, it does this for the same reason the sky is blue, red is just a "gloomier" color than blue, and because of this, the red saber actually looks scary when you turn it on in the darkness. And from what I heard, the Obi Wan saber has been pushed back to 2006, and I am not sure about Qui Gon.

One more thing, the best handle ever for an fx lightsaber (if they would make one) would have to be the Darth Sidious handle. I mean seriously, it freakin' rocks, if you haven't already seen it, go check it out right now. If they make on of those into an fx lightsaber I will be all over it for almost any price they ask. I just gotta keep my fingers crossed that they make one for now. But seriously, the Obi Wan handle is cool I will admit, but not like the Windu handle, if you see some close up pictures of it that really show off the detail and colors, you might agree too, if not, like I said, the Obi Wan saber is cool too and I just might get one.

 
Supremium says...
I know were you can get one. just email me, kerrim@cox.net

But still, if they made the Obi wan into an fx saber, it looks loke the handle might not be strong enough, or maybe it is just me.

Hey sewdi brajk, I'm glad my info has helped you out and you are one funny person! Maybe I have turned to the dark side! LOL! But seriously, I have no idea about where to buy them in Australia, and I already know about the crazy international shipping prices, it sucks! I guess I must really consider myself lucky that I am a Texan, and the place I ordered mine from over the internet is only four hours from my house (I found that out a couple days ago). But I still don't have mine and everyday that goes by is agony! I can't wait for them to arrive! Maybe If you check a whole bunch of sites that sell them, you can see if any of them don't charge a whole lot for international shipping, that is if you can't find them in Australia. Good luck with your search sewdi brajk!

Anonymous says...
I'm not exactly saying that the anakin saber will break, I am only saying what a bunch of anakin saber owners have said, and the one time where I read about an anakin saber breaking, the guy admitted to swinging the thing ridiculously hard. And to "the MAN", I have nothing against the blue saber, blue is actually my favorite color, but Vader is one of my all-time favorite movie charactors, and that surpasses my favorite color. And when I get a few more bucks I am thinking about getting one for my little brother for his birthday, so if I truly had anything against the anakin saber, I would forget about it.

 
Anonymous says...
Anyway, the color of the saber doesn't qualify it to be better than any other saber, that is where personal choices come in, so that means it is opinion, not fact. To me, the vader saber is better because it has the cool red glow and has the "evil-hum" to it, but you see, that is my opinion, and when it comes to the sound, I have used both and I wouldn't say either is better, both use the latest generation sounds, so they both are equal except for one is vader sounds and the other isn't.

One more thing, off the topic of vader and anakin, what does everyone think of the mace windu saber, I actually think that one will be my favorite. The hilt on it is just too-cool, and I heard that the glow is more purple than the pictures will show. What does everyone else think of it?

I havn't really found alot of owner info on the windu saber, not too many people have them or post much on them and most people are concentrating on the red and blue sabers. What I have heard is that the handle is very cool, the purple light is not even remotely close to the movie but is still "purple-ish", I read last night that it seems to be very sturdy and the sounds on it are alright. The worst things I heard about it is that the motion sensors aren't perfect and the blade isn't a good purple (but I already said that), everything else seems to be pretty good though. The only thing that might bug me is that the blade isn't really purple, but I really couldn't care less, I just hope it is still as cool as the non-critic people have said.

Yo, check it out! I think I may have found a way to get a "real" purple lightsaber. I have read that the reason the windu saber is not purple is that they combined red and blue LEDs into it because purple LEDs don't exist. Well they do exist! I found them on ebay and other sites! What I'm trying to say is, what if there is a safe way to disassemble the windu saber and put the purple LEDs in there. Well anyone think that would work? If anyone finds a safe way to do this, let me know! Because I will do it!

Yes, Peter Griffin is one of the funniest people in the world, but he is a cartoon character, he id fictional and he is useless in the real world, so lets stay on topic with star wars and the fx sabers, that is what this site is about, expressing your opinion on the fx sabers.

Man, ever since a girl in my class brought her Mace Windu lightsaber into class, i have really wanted to buy one of my own! They are so cool. The only problem is that I don't know which one to buy. I just don't have the kind of money to buy more than one, so i want to make sure I'm buying the best. I like the Anakin lightsaber because it seems to be brighter than Vader's and will attract more attention. Unfortunately, I have not seen them in person. I really would like to hear what you guys think so please write back, thanks.

Anyway, hey josh, I am going to try and answer some of your questions. The LEDs can blow or become disconnected, but this doesn't happen to all of them. But if they blow, they are gone, if they become disconnected, they can be reconnected but this might require some surgery. Now when it comes to dueling, you are taking a gamble, some just turn out better than other. And I just read from some people who have dismantled the sabers and learned of their weakness. The blades are being held in by small pins down in the base, and when you hit objects, the blade viabrates and can weaken or even break off. Now I am not saying they WILL break, but seriously- duel at your own risk. I have only heard of two sabers breaking, but those two people were swinging really hard. If you want to duel, try to take it easy. And about the Darth sabers, it depends on the generation type of the saber, the darth EP IV is a GEN II, while darth EP V is a GEN III, so the GEN III is better. Remember, the best FX lightsabers are GEN III.

 
Anonymous says...
I think they are working on GEN IV sabers for later (being next year). If you want a really good lightsaber strictly for dueling, go with a Parks Saber, they are much stronger. But... they don't have the sounds, motion sensors, or the LEDs for sequential lighting-up, and they are much more expensive. And the main reason I WILL not get one, they are custom made, they are not real Star Wars lightsabers, they are made up designs. That is why I went with master replicas, because their lightsabers are replicas of those from the movies. So you will never see a Parks Saber Darth Vader or Mace Windu saber, they are completely different, and kinda ugly in my opinion.

Hey, if anyone wants to see some "more accurate" pics of the mace saber, check this out. fx-sabers.com... If the Mace saber is half as cool as these pics make it to be, I will love it to death when it arrives! I'm starting to think I will not duel with my mace saber, but maybe with my Darth saber. But seriously, these pics are cool. everyone CHECK IT OUT, this might persuade some of you to forget red and blue, and go purple! You will notice that these pics were submitted by Darth Phineas, listen to this guy whenever you can, I have read many things he has submitted over the past couple weeks, he wise in the ways of the force.

I have done nothing but stare at those pics for the last 10 minutes, so everyone- say what you want, I declare the mace saber as the best when it comes to looks. (and another thing, these are not a waste of money, if anything, we should be so lucky that they are as cheap as they are)

Does anyone know the difference between the luke and the anakin sabers? is one better than the other??

 
Anonymous says...
Hey Quayle, the luke saber is a GEN II saber while the anakin EP III is a GEN III saber, so overall, the anakin will probably be a better choice.
One more thing, purple is not strictly a "feminine" color... on a lightsaber it is cool, on shoes- now that is feminine. But do what you like. I'm gonna go crazy with my mace saber and beat everyone over the head with it when they call it feminine! LOL!! Welcome to the dark side!!

About dueling with them, MR says they are not to duel with... but the sabers are made very durable, have clash sounds, and MR made a "saber dueling video" as an advertisement. Now, I am confused... Everyone must remember that MR will never fix your saber if it breaks and will void the warranty if dueling was a factor in the damaging of the saber... so once again, Duel At Your Own Risk, and be prepared to be a grown-up about it if they do break. But maybe everyone here won't have this problem, but seriously, do be careful with these things.

I didn't know what my name was gonna be so I picked Shlick because my two older brothers have been calling me that since I can remember, so I guess it's my official nick-name... whatever (maybe I can think up a better name later). Anyway, welcome to the boards Darth Thunder.

OK, The GEN II were the first to use LEDs in the blade whereas the GEN I used EL blades. The GEN II uses 6 batteries and has speakers, the GEN III uses slightly better technology for better sounds and uses 3 batteries for a smaller, lighter handle. So in your case, the anakin EP3 saber is the same as like EP5, except better when it comes to sound and is lighter. But me, I like the heavy feel, like the mace saber, it just feels powerful.

Actually, the mace saber is just flat out cool, that is why I got it, but if I were you, I would get the Anakin EP3 saber. anyway, has anyone checked out those pics of the mace saber I submitted about earlier, it is really cool, the best "real" pics you will find.

Well if it doesn't load, go check out the pics, I don't know about you, but it looks purple to me, I guess I was wrong about the color, "Don't judge a saber due to crappy pics taken by other people, judge by pics taken by Darth Phineas".

I have been spending alot of time on the fx-sabers forum. Chatting with those guys is the best way to learn things, just becareful what you say or ask, they get mad if they don't think it is important stuff. But I think there will be a yoda lightsaber, but for next year possibly.

Hey, if anyone wants to read a real review on the mace saber and learn what a true professional has to say about it, not some hungover critic who concentrates on one minor downfall and trashtalks the thing. If you want to read about how cool the saber is, check this out:

www.fx-sabers.com...

I'll be waiting to hear what people have to say.

my dad worked for pepsi and did some projects for starwars during the production of the first movies (4,5,6) so i showed him these lightsabers one night and he went nutz....he currently has all of the life size figures of starwars...and many scaled models of ships and machines...so you could imagine how excited he was....he bought 2 annikans...and a vader and a windu...i for one am psyched about the nwhole thing...and cant wait for them to come...and to clear one thing up....the blade is made out of a durable polycarbonate plastic....that WILL NOT BREAK....MKAY?!

 
Anonymous says...
Don't be so sure, there are cases of people breaking their sabers in half from dueling or hitting solid objects, there is also a fault in the sabers that make it easy for the blade to weaken at the hilt, and over time it will continue to weaken until the pins in the saber snap or the blade itself does. Don't jump to conclusions and say the blade won't break, because it can and will if you are not careful. But if you don't want to believe me, fine, it's your saber.

i hear ya....im just saying they arent easy to break...as long as ur not slamming ur saber as hard as u can on a led block...its not gonna break...as for wireing coming undone and all that crap...u have no control...

Is there a white core on the FX Lightsaber o is it just a photograph effect?

 
Anonymous says...
Hey john, yes the blade is hard to break at first, but give it some time and it will become easy. And with the parks sabers, that is old news to me, but thanks anyway, the parks sabers cost more because they are built by one guy instead of a business like MR, we don't know why he charges so much. Hey clash, if you write a review, put it on the fx-sabers forums, and make sure it is good, post some pics if you can. And none of the sabers have a white core, that is the camera.

 
Anonymous says...
The Luke ESB FX has an oversized hilt and poor sound quality . Uses 6 !!! batteries and is not brighter than the newer ones . Why does everybody think it's the best FX ? Who cares about a nice hilt design when it's too big and has poor sound !

what would happen if you hit someone in the leg with the saber pretty hard

 
Anonymous says...
I have the Mace and Vader EP5 on order, I have recently built a shelf to hold my sabers and any others I order. And if you hit someone in the leg really hard, what will happen is that they will hate you from now on, you might break the saber, or nothing will happen except for a clash sound.

Currently i have the mAce Windu fx Lightsaber on order off e-bay. I dont know when it will come becasue the shipping time keeps getting moved back. Overall, I cheched out that web-site about darth shlick's mace windu lightsaber review, and i thought it was most impressive. if u want to see how to make ur own lightsaber go to ebay and type in lightsaber, the most labor intensive saber takes 4 hours to biuld, and the most expensive one costs about 40 US dollars, i dont know how much that is in Britain. I hope that u aren't lieing about the mace windu lightsaber darth shlick, please write back and tell me if u really can duel with it even if u are hitting lightly,



Thank you, Jedi Henry

hi guys...female wannabee jedi who just go her Anakin FX saber ordered directly from Master Replicas about a month ago...uses 3 batteries and is the newsest one...the blue blade glows brilliant in dim light and super bright in the darkness of night outside and of course inside a dark house on fresh batteries...add to the even on good batteries...please dont reply by asking me how many hours of fun do you get from batteries...come on...its just a toy and i dont believe it garners that much scientific research...if you cant afford $120 dollars plus shipping if it breaks on you that get the Hasbro version...i have read everyones post back and forth and find it amusing but really dumb to even debate...it is what it is...and what it is, is a very very nice adult toy...but again its $120 bucks and for that cost i wouldnt and shouldnt expect it to last a life time...is it worth it...every penny...even many of my friends who dont get into Star Wars like i do still cant resist picking it up and playing with it...it has a 10 KEWL FACTOR RATING...I like Jedi's not Sith so thats why i got Anakins and not Vaders...kinda sentimental in the sense that it was the last thing good that represented Anakin before he picked up a red saber...so lets recap...its worth every penny...its super bright glowing blue...its sound effects are nice and loud...and durable but dont expect a lifetime investment if you plan on banging it against every object to make it sound off...which by the way leaves me with one critque...if it wasnt meant to duel with at least M.R. should have made the blade super sensitive that way to show off the sound effects all you'd have to do is tap the blade lightly to sound it off..but you acutally kinda half to tap it harder then lighter...anyway hope Yoda's comes out cause he is my favorite one of them all...hope this was a good review...and remember guys...it is just a Replica and not a real LightSaber......

YOU DON'T LIKE SITH!?!!? I am neutral. In fact, I can't decide what to get the red or the blue. The Red's handle looks better and I heard the red's glow is "Stronger" or something. So yeah I think the Sith and the Jedi are both awesome!

I have a quick question. I have the Anakin Lightsaber from EPIII, as well as Darth's FX from A New Hope. I noticed the sound on the Darth's is not smooth. It sounds like it is skipping a beat like that of a skipping CD. Now I was watching A New Hope, and his lightsaber did make the same skipping sound when he swings it, but I was just wondering if the Empire Strikes Back sounds like that as well?

I just bought the new anakin for ep. 3 and it is very good. I think you should go with that one if you are planning on buying just one. I hope to purchase all of them as they get released. I read somewhere that master replicas has confirmed a darth maul and new luke green ROTJ. I saw a video of the new luke green ROTJ vs the old one and the new one was alot brighter and louder.

I have 4 FX Lightsabers. 2, Luke and Vader, I got it in 2003 and Mace and Anakin I got it in 2005. I think Vader is the best in color. Mace purple looks more pink than purple and Luke green have some problems at the tip.
The 2005s Mace Anakin clashing sounds needs to be activated by more force than just tapping your hand with the blade.
Overall Vader is the best. Looking forward to Maul Force FX. Heard it is coming.

Man O man are these lightsabers sweet! I got Mace Windu's lightsaber and is brilliant. First of all the hilt is beautiful- gold and silver- and the blade is the most sexy purple you ever done seen- like a neon light!

hi I just joined I been reading some of the comment on anakin lightsabers lights flickering. I got mine from ebay for $30 because portions of the blade did not light up at all and others intermittantly went from bright to dim. So I disassembled the entire unit and found that the led string that runs up the blade has very poor soldering connections on front and back on the surface mount resistors. None of the leds are actually dead, just had to resolder all of the connections to the resistors. Now all of the leds are on and brighter and when dueling with my son with his lightsaber and we have smacked them a couple of times hard there is no longer any flickering anywhere on the blade and the brightness I would say is 20% brighter than it originally was brand new compared to a new one at the store. I think it is just a situation that FX might have had some bad solder or the soldering process needs to be corrected. Just thought I would let you guys know that are concerned about the Anakin lightsabers having that flickering problem. If you know someone that can disassemble and solder you can fix the problem and then you will have another excellent lightsaber for your collection.

This is awesome! I got an anakin lightsaber with clash sound that doesn't work. I've decided to make this a costume prop which I can wear on my belt. Please help me disassemble it without damaging it. Thanks so much in advance! May the Force be with you!
