Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Put yourself in the middle of the Star Wars saga action with this amazingly-detailed official replica of the Obi-Wan Kenobi character’s lightsaber! Power-up your intergalactic “weapon” to see the first of the glowing blue blade’s light effects. Swing and slice your lightsaber through the air and you’ll hear four motion sensor-controlled sound effects — power-up, idle hum, clash and power-down — digitally recorded from the movie. As you power down “post-battle” you’ll see more light effects to add to the realistic action. With a durable metal hilt that looks and feels real, you’ll never want to have your lightsaber far from your side! Lightsaber comes with a base for display.

This review is from: Star Wars FX Lightsaber - OBI-WAN EPISODE 1 (Toy)

+This is much thinner than the other Force FX sabers out there. Much closer to 1:1 than in the past
+Almost as balanced as the vetted Second run Luke ROTJ saber.
+ takes 3AAA batteries as opposed to AA's, which make it much lighter.
+ blade and sound effects are basically the same as the Luke ANE released right before the end of MR's run of these.

-Sounds cut out when moving the saber around. Seems to be due to the battery pack not making complete contact with the pins in the battery compartment. Able to fix this with some craft foam placed between the pommel and the battery pack.
-the metal used in this handle feels much thinner, and a bit flimsier. This may be the trade off between weight / thickness.
-sucks down batteries like they're nothing
- the lip between the ribbed part of the handle and the smooth part of the wrap around it is a bit sharp. If there are any of you trick-loving collectors out there, beware!

This is an awesome lightsaber. The saber feels more "realistic" since it is not as thick as some of the other FX lightsaber. I enjoy holding this more than the rest.

Amazing look and feel. I have two other sabers like this and enjoy all of them.
