I was just worried that I might accidentally break something in taking the guts out, and I’d feel better not having to run that risk. It’s not a deal-breaker, and getting the batteries out certainly wasn’t hard. The tricky part is doing so around the sound board and without pulling too hard on the whole assembly, as it doesn’t come out very far. You have to remove the pommel and get the speaker/battery/soundboard assembly to slide out and then remove the batteries.
The premium sound sabers run on rechargeable Li-ion batteries (charger included), but if you don’t have a charging port, getting them out can be tense business. If I had one recommendation for anyone interested in ordering, it would be to put the extra cash in for a charging port if it’s compatible with your other options. It’s a good thing it’s not actually real, or I’d have cut my own leg off within the first 30 seconds of spinning it around-though the clashing sound it made when the blade bounced off my shin made me laugh. The saber crackled to life with a familiar sound, and I was hooked. From the second I took the saber out of the box and pressed the “on” button (which is easy to push but well protected from accidental presses), it felt about as real as I could expect from a lightsaber. Anyway, our saber is every bit as satisfying as I could have hoped without going for the pricier “emerald” options, which sport extra blade lighting effects. If you were feeling pessimistic about the world we live in, just keep that encouraging fact in mind. Yes, for those who were unaware-I’m sure you saber veterans are well beyond needing this review anyway-there are enough custom lightsaber makers out there to warrant a standards system. Our saber is a standard saber with premium sound, and the blade emitter and pommel are also interchangeable through the Modular Hilt System for custom lightsabers. There’s a mind-boggling amount of potential customization, but these are your main options: You’ll notice designs similar to those from the movies, like the “Archon v2.1” we got (there’s actually one with a thinner neck to look even more like Luke’s), but putting down the money for one of these means you want to establish your own Jedi identity.Īfter a few days with ours, I’ve come away impressed. However, if you’re looking for exact replicas, this is not necessarily the place for you (though they will convert replicas to their own technology if you’d like). Ours, which you may have seen on Instagram or pictured above, is roughly similar to Luke’s in Return of the Jedi, though with a bright orange blade. Ultra Sabers specializes in customized sabers with a ton of options for the metal hilt, polycarbonate/LED blade type and color, sound, and more. Sure, you’re supposed to build your own lightsaber to truly complete your Jedi training, but having someone else do it for you is so much more practical in the modern world.
