5.0 out of 5 stars
Obi Wan's FX saber, June 3, 2007
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
I want to start by saying I have a couple of fx sabers (all of them except for Luke's and Yoda's) and I never thought I would buy this one. I felt the design looked too much like Luke's to spend a hundred dollars on both, but I ended up getting a very good deal on the Obi Wan saber this past weekend and I couldnt resist. Acutually I did resist, but I think the clerk used a Jedi mind trick on me. I ended up buying mine for $80. As soon as I put the batteries in it and lit it up, this saber instantly became my favorite. I was in a dim lit bedroom and the Obi saber lit up the entire room with its blue glow. I read alot of reviews about how the amount of batteries a fx saber takes determines the brightness of the blade and the volume of the effects. I did compare this saber with the vader, darth maul, and mace windu ones and the blades look like they're shinning with the same brightness... I think the color of the blades is making the difference. The blue ones light up the room better then the darker colors of red and purple, no different than a white light bulb that lights a room better than a red light bulb of the same voltage. Each hilt is designed differently, so the sound comes out differently in each one. This is a very satifsying collectors item or toy for any star wars fan. Again, the Obi Wan is my favorite so far, but I did just buy it so... just take my word that they are all worth the $90-$100 price tag.

The Force is with me, January 23, 2007
These new FX Lightsabers are so cool and worth the money!!! (Under $[...]) I play with the lightsaber all the time with my daughter and nephews who use my other FX Lightsaber, YES I own 2 of these GREAT ITEMS!!! The sounds, look, and feel of these Lighsabers are so real and authentic to the movies. When these "Lazer Swords" strike one another the make the exact sounds as they did in the BEST story of all times, The Star Wars Saga 1-6. When I took a picture of myself with my Lightsabers and sent them to my nephews, who are 6 and 11 years old they thought I had gotten them from The Star Wars movie itself, THAT'S HOW REAL THEY LOOK!!! To conlude this review, this item is a great gift for your favorite Star Wars fan and a great purchase for any Rabid Star Wars Fan and it only takes 3, YES count em THREE double A batteries, and you also get a stand that you can mount to the wall and put up and take down your Lightsaber at will!!! How cool is that?!!! If you buy this HAVE FUN BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN, I KNOW I CAN'T!!!!!!!!!

Not Bad, but not the Best., March 8, 2007
This is my fifth Force FX lightsaber. Its beautiful but a bit heavy. The sound is very muffled and the hilt it a bit too thick to be accurate. Although its my favorite design, the Luke Skywalker Green lightsaber is much better. Its the brightest and loudest I have out of the Ep.2 and Ep.3 Anakin, Darth Vader, and this Obi Wan. If your a huge Obi Wan fan like myself its great, but if your not on a Star Wars kick when you get it your likely to be a bit disappointed as I was.
