The Skywalker's lightsaber is probably the most iconic of them all ! This is the original lightsaber, the first we ever see in the hands of Luke in A New Hope.
This lightsaber is a new 2025 hilt from Nexus Sabers. Nexus has completely redesigned their Graflex replica for Ep. IV and V, and we are bringing it to you with NO PRICE CHANGE. The screen accuracy and level of fidelity is through the roof at such price point.
After belonging to Anakin Skywalker, the lightsaber was passed on to his son Luke. This design is inspired from the hilt as we first see it in A New Hope.
It is based off the Graflex flashgun used in 1976 by Roger Christian, set decorator on A New Hope. Prior to this version we only had the Ep. V version but a dedicated model now exists.
The classic Graflex design elements you can find on both Ep.4 and 5 version are :
The aluminium is finely brushed, the details and finishes in the replica of the Graflex main parts and greeblies is just stunning and far above the previous version.
The top and bottom parts are attached with the control box camera clamp via a vintage j-lock twisting mechanism, and not via threads. The blade holder is the actual bunny ears bulb clamp on top of the retention screw for the blade. The smallest details like the sync pins and the aluminium brushing are far more screen accurate.
The Skywalker Saber being originally built around a Graflex flashtube, is a bit bulky for those accustomed to prequels lightsabers. But they can accomodate 1" blades and the screen accuracy is amazing.
The differences with our EpV version of the lightsaber are:
The black grips are specific to Ep.4, the clamp card with the bubble strip and the Graflex engraving being visible on this version of the clamp. The clamp box being on the side of the hilt that is accurate to when Luke first takes the saber.
Like all of our amazing sabers, this hilt is made of aluminium 6063. Every saber boasts stunning finishes on a great build with strong materials to offer either the best reproduction of a legendary design or a very comfortable and yet stylish dueling weapon.

Standard sabers are baselit sabers with a lighter blade made for heavy dueling. Perfect if you plan on doing cosplay or stunt/duel performances or if you simply don't need the neopixel blade.
- 🥈Premium : it's our most wanted option! The same Xeno 3 board but with a neopixel blade. The high density LED strip in the blade allows for an amazing look and tons of visual effects. Now customizable through a mobile app and, as usual, via the SD card.
