These are magnificent wonders of modern technology - not "action toy" light sabers that you might purchase for your twelve-year-old kid!

Master Replicas' Force FX lightsabers are official reproductions - authorized by Lucasfilm - complete with realistic power-up and power-down light and sound effects.

The Luke Skywalker version boasts a glowing green blade over three feet long with a heavy metal handle and ignites with real lightsaber power up and power down effects digitally recorded from the movies, further increasing its authentic feel. It has motion sensors so the blade makes whooshing sounds when it is swung and clashing sound when it makes contact.

And if the "man who has everything" swings toward the Dark Side, he'll appreciate the red-bladed Darth Vader version featuring a bright red blade with similar light and motion sensitive sound effects.

This is a gift that is sure to bring out the "Force" in any guy.

The durable metal hilt looks and feels like a real lightsaber.

• The light saber blade is permanently attached and made of polycarbonate
• Approximately 110cm long
• Uses 3 AA batteries, not included.
• Includes display stand.
  

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do the light and sound effects work in the Force FX lightsaber?

A: The Force FX lightsaber incorporates two motion sensors which sense both the motion of the blade as well as when it comes in contact with something. An on-board, multi-channel chip is programmed with digital sound effects originally created for the movie by Skywalker Sound. The Force FX lightsaber replicates the following sound effects: Power-up, Idle hum, Swing (with pitch change), Clash, Power-down.

Q: How long will the light in the Force FX lightsaber last?

A: It should run for several hours on a fresh set of batteries. The electronics, if cared for properly, should last for several thousand hours of use. Replace the batteries whenever the performance begins to change, such as reduced brightness or volume.

Q: Can I use my Force FX lightsaber for dueling?

A: This product should not be used to strike others. Although the blade is very durable, it should never be used for fighting or dueling. The Force FX lightsaber was produced by Master Replicas as a collectible; it was not intended for dueling.
