Darth Vader's lightsaber symbolizes cinematic and cultural significance and invites you to embrace the Dark Side. Its iconic status makes it a highly coveted item among movie memorabilia collectors and Star Wars enthusiasts.

The latest iteration, unveiled on September 23, boasts a design meticulously aligned with its appearance in "The Empire Strikes Back." This includes a refined emitter, strategically placed vent holes beneath it, and the removal of the clamp wing on the control box. Additionally, the crystal chamber has been omitted, and there's a notable alteration in the wiring color, enhancing its screen accuracy.

As with all our premier sabers, this hilt is crafted from aluminum 6063, ensuring durability and elegance. Each saber blends stunning finishes, robust construction, and a faithful representation of an iconic design or a stylish yet functional dueling weapon.
