Vader EX

The Vader EX — layered with switches, banding, and greebled detail, this hilt has the busy, lived-in look of a screen-used prop.

This lightsaber takes its design cues from Darth Vader, built as an unofficial fan piece for collectors and display rather than an authorized replica. Multiple diameters, inset switches, and layered banding give the barrel real depth up close, the kind of detail that rewards a second look.

The hilt body is CNC-machined metal, sized to feel balanced in hand rather than tip- or grip-heavy. It's paired with a durable polycarbonate lightsaber blade at 1" outer diameter, built to hold up to display, choreography, and light dueling alike.

This hilt comes in a single steel gray finish.

Choose from 3 core types:

• Baselit: a smooth, bright LED blade that can be cycled through a range of colors, paired with onboard sound.
• XenoPixel: individually addressable pixel LEDs for realistic flicker, fade, and blade-lock effects, plus app and Bluetooth control.
• Proffie: an open-source soundboard core for the deepest level of custom sound fonts and blade effects.

No matter which core type you choose, you'll have a lightsaber that's both impressive and functional.
