Darth Vader's lightsaber replica as seen in Return of the Jedi. Whilst our Empire Strikes Back version is generally more sought after, a lot of collectors look for the specific Episode 6 replica.
This version is based on the Graflex format, thus being more compact than the Episode 5 version. This saber features 2 D-Rings : one at the emitter and one at the pommel. Perfect to attach your saber with one of our Belt Clips.
The blade retention screw is not needed, you can use the chrome knob below the emitter to lock your blade in place. The emitter is very deep allowing for a comfortable use of the neopixel to baselit adapter accessory if you wish.
Darth Vader's lightsaber was originally designed using a MPP flashgun for photography, just as Luke/Anakin's original saber was built using a Graflex flashgun. The design evolved along the original trilogy and different parts were used in different movies. This is a replica of how Vader's saber looks like in Return of the Jedi.
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.

SABER CONFIGURATIONS
Here's a simple breakdown of our available configurations. See our "Which version to choose ?" info box above for more details.

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 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.
- 🥇Deluxe : for the coders amongst you, completely customizable effects and styles thanks to the Proffie v2.2 board, here with one function button. There's no better neopixel lightsaber than this. If you like getting your hands dirty (mostly your keyboard) and mod the things around you to suit your needs, you'll love this !

- 📏 Recommended length of your lightsaber : a lot of academies and fencing federations request that the total length of your dueling saber stays between 100 and 110cm (39.4 to 43.4 inches).
