Darth Vader's Lightsaber from Episode IV, A New Hope

It's the lightsaber that killed Obi Wan Kenobi; The first red lightsaber we ever saw in the Star Wars movies. Sleek and graceful, this saber was more elegant than the one used by Vader in the Empire Strikes back. It has cleaner lines and a more subdued style. With the 35th anniversary of "A New Hope" coming up, this is sure to be a popular item.

This lightsaber features Darth's trademark silver and black. It also features the long black rectangles circling the base that Vader was fond of. These rectangles get much more pronounced in his Empire Strikes Back saber, but in this model, they are a just a subtle, clean design element. The angled black cuff at the tip of the hilt is both aggressive and stylish, offering a simple but graceful termination from which the bright red blade can spring from.

The Darth Vader FX Lightsaber from "A New Hope" has all the geomerical symmetry, strength and style that defined Darth Vader. It is one of the most important lightsabers in the trilogy and a piece of movie history. Get yours now before they're lost forever.

Force Fx Lightsabers
These Force FX Lightsabers are quite possibly the coolest Star Wars paraphernalia ever created. Yes, They're a little more techy than what we normally feature, but they are still technically swords, and, as I mentioned, are quite cool. Besides, it's our website and we can put whatever we want on it. :P

These items are also alternately known as ligtsabers, ligtsaber, lifesavers, lifesaver, lightsabr and lightsabrs. Now, with that shameless search engine plug out of the way, onward! It's tough to get a gauge on how cool these are without swinging them around a bit. They're fun and quite addicting. When you first turn it on, a bright red glow shoots upward, traveling from the hilt to tip like a real lightsaber. A thoroughly satisfying 'WOOOOM' sound accompanies this 'power-up' sequence (all the sounds are digitally recorded from the actual movie, so you can imagine how authentic they are). When you turn the saber off, the bright blue glow fades away down the blade, traveling from tip to hilt before disappearing. An equally satisfying "SHHHIIIIUUUUWWW" sound accompanies the power-down.

Once you've had your fill of turning the thing on and off, you can start moving the lightsaber in your hand while it's on -- and suddenly, you're a Jedi. With each swing, the FX Lightsaber hums and whines with scary authenticity. A motion sensor embedded somewhere inside the thing can tell when you're moving it, and lets out the appropriate sound. So, when you get your fill of swinging the blade, tap it against something and listen for the "Clash" sound effect. So flippin' cool. In fact, the Force FX Lightsaber features 10 motion sensor controlled sound effects: power-up, power-down, idle, movement (3 sounds) and clash (4 sounds).

The Force FX Lightsabers are heavy enough to make it feel realistic, but light enough to allow vigorous and suitably dashing slashes. The polycarbonate blade is extremely light and astoundingly rugged.

Taking this lightsaber out at night and swinging it is one of the most exhilarating things you can do with a Star Wars prop (assuming you are fully clothed).

Comes with a display stand for those few times this Force FX Saber won't be in your hands.
