Star Wars FX Lightsaber

This isn't a toy for your six year old cousin (he probably doesn't even know what planet Wookies live on). This is an official reproduction of real Lightsabers from Star Wars.

"Real lightsabers?", you might be thinking, "Star Wars isn't real!". Tell that to the masses who dress up every day as Darth Vader and Princess Leia across the globe, tell that to the folks who build droid replicas in their garages, study Sith history, and practice their Huttese. Star Wars is very real.

And these working lightsabers make that extremely apparent. Featuring realistic lighting and sound effects, these close combat weapons of the Jedi and Sith from the Star Wars saga are absolutely amazing

The color of a lightsaber blade was defined by the focusing crystal used in its construction. The Jedi collected crystals of varying types and hues from natural deposits, whereas the Sith made use of fabricated synth-crystals usually designed to emanate shades of red.

After the purges of the Old Republic's Jedi order, synth-crystals were also shaped and used by Jedi on occasion. Luke Skywalker's green blade and Jaina Solo's violet blade both sprang from synth-crystals.

Prior to the final battle of Ruusan, ancient Jedi wielded blades of every color and hue. Some of the more common colors were orange, yellow, cyan, blue, green, viridian, violet, silver, and gold. Some ancient Jedi, such as Sylvar, even wielded blades of red hues, although the order typically avoided any colors that might associate them with the Sith.

Red was also avoided since it was the most common representation of blood and violence. After the terrifying end of the Ruusan conflict, however, Jedi turned to more common Adegan crystals of blue or green coloration. Other colors, like bronze and brown, did still exist, but were extremely rare.

Mace Windu, for example, braved the terrors of Hurikane to find his violet crystal. Black lightsaber crystals were also known to exist, but were almost non-existent.

In the era of the Jedi Civil War, the color of a Jedi's blade was a traditional symbol for the path the Jedi chose in his duties within the order, although a Jedi was not required to use a color that corresponded with his or her Jedi class.

A green blade was the sign of the Jedi Consulars, scholarly diplomats and negotiators. Blue was the color associated with Jedi Guardians, the physically vigorous defenders of the galaxy.

The third color, yellow, was held for those among the Jedi Sentinels, Jedi who found their skills balanced between physical prowess and scholarly awareness of the Force.

For the purposes of the lightsaber's strength, these crystals functioned identically; color was the only variation.

I received my fx lightsaber and from what i can tell from videos of master replicas, these are the same quality, construction and appearance. It's like hasbro just took over the designs of them and squarely kept to them. The battery hatch is a bit difficult to slide open on first try, but if you remove the arrow sticker it will easily slide off.

You can feel the quality of the materials when you hold it. It feels heavy, and solid, and the metal is usually a little cold.

It's durable and the sounds are nice. The hilt is made mostly of metal. Comes with a sturdy display stand. If you had been waiting on these, curious if they matched up to the older master replica ones as I had been, I'd say your wait is over. Go buy one.

Although the description doesn't mention it, this lightsaber comes with an adapter to attach two of these together. I researched this toy before buying it and found this out.
I am also an owner of the Master Replica's Anakin Skywalker ForceFX Lightsaber. I missed out on the opportunity earlier to get the Darth Maul one until now. Hasbro bought them out so they are available again under the Hasbro brand but now you have to buy two to get the double-bladed lightsaber.

The blade makes only one sound when clashing whereas my Anakin blade makes several. It still has power-up, power-down and swing noises too, and the light shoots out from the handle when powering up and goes back in when powering down (looks perfect in the dark). When the two blades are attached together, it is quite long at about 7 ft. 4 in. so don't expect a child to be able to spin it around unless they are pretty tall. The adapter is threaded and the two blades screw onto it.

When they are removed from the adapter, the battery will fall out unless you put the end caps on the single blades. You can use the adapter as one of the endcaps if you want.

The blades are very vibrant in color and look spectacular - better than my blue Anakin blade in my opinion.

Bottom line, if you are on the fence about this, go for two of them!
