Star Wars Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker Extendable Lightsaber

Product Information

You’re getting 80 LEDs for bright lighting, a real metal hilt, and the ability to switch between Battle FX for combat sounds and Molten FX to simulate you melting the environment with the blade when you press it against a surface, as seen when wielded by Kylo in the franchise. While both Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ben) and Luke Skywalker (Luke) had DTLSs, Kenner created more figures with the DTLS because they were launched earlier in the year. As a fan of Star Wars and other science fiction franchises, I know how important it is to have a high-quality retractable lightsaber. The best retractable lightsaber is a matter of personal preference. Some prefer a more traditional design, while others like a more modern look. You’re getting a selection of light and sound effects, which do a pretty good job at emulating the original iconic design, and of course, the style more closely resembles that of an actual ninjatō, the weapon of choice for Ninjas during Japan’s feudal era.

It’s a good way of getting started without too much complexity, though other brands will allow you to select individual hilt and blade components to create a product that exactly suits your requirements. If you’re not too fussed about that then Encalife’s Lightsabers are an easy off-the-shelf alternative. It’s still on the expensive side for a kids’ toy, and those small parts could go missing if they’re not looked after, but this is a breath of fresh air from the pop-up toys or solid blades often seen on the shelves. You can also use them with other lightsabers in the Bladebuilders range, giving you a spectrum of customization. You can use this “Buying Guide” to locate the best retractable lightsaber if you’re having difficulties selecting which choice is best.

The fact that a lightsaber is unique to its wielder is something that runs deep in Star Wars lore, and while the experience of making your very own at Disney World sounds fantastic, it’s also a pricey affair. A much cheaper alternative is the Jedi Master Bladebuilders Lightsaber from Hasbro, a kit that lets you switch between several styles of hilt, blade, and angles to create a fully playable toy. In 2019 Disney opened Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, a 14-acre expansion that allows guests to ride the Millennium Falcon and dine on galactic delicacies such as Blue Milk. It’s Disney’s largest-ever park expansion. The original design of this recognized weapon has been remade numerous times throughout the years, but it is still the most identifiable and well-liked.

Blade:The blade of a retractable lightsaber should be made of solid and durable materials such as metal or plastic. Look for blades designed to withstand heavy use and won’t break or bend easily. Lightsaber Color:The color of a retractable lightsaber can affect how you feel about it. Choose a color that you like or that matches the overall theme of your costume. I’ll discuss the features and benefits of different models and the best place to buy them. Without further ado, let’s get started! List of Best Retractable LightsaberWe’ll discuss the top retractable lightsabers, their features, designs, advantages, and disadvantages. 1. Star Wars Lead Villain Extendable Lightsaber The blade obviously isn’t as fancy as the hilt, but this is a necessary pain to accommodate another cool feature - this lightsaber can be customized using other blades from the Bladebuilders series of toys from Hasbro, which means you’re not limited to this just being Skywalkers replica. The lightsaber is both a potent representation of the Sith Lord Darth Vader and the might of the Dark Side of the Force.

Rather, the company’s Imagineers — designers of Disney’s parks, rides, gadgets and hotels — created the device to function like a real lightsaber in that the “blade” of light extends from the base of the sword.

The 1978 Telescopic Light Saber Darth Vader was a watershed moment in Star Wars collecting. He was a villain with a dark past. Even though he had escaped the Death Star conflict, his true origins were unknown at the moment. His exact origins were not known until years later, making this figure even more popular and sought after as a collection. There's plenty of options on the market, regardless of budget and needs, whether it be for cosplay, display or recreating your favorite battle scenes from the franchise. This guide focuses on official Disney products but it's worth noting that there's some quality "unofficial" models out there too. Meanwhile, the Marvel-themed “ Avengers Campus” will open at Disney’s California Adventure on June 4. Of course, Disney didn’t actually create a laser sword that’s capable of cutting off your son’s hand because he refuses to join you in ruling the galaxy.
