If you're siding with the Jedi then the Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX Elite Lightsaber (opens in new tab) is our favorite of the bunch.
#Rebaslight making a dark saber series
The Black Series has you covered there, with sabers to represent almost all of the major characters in Star Wars. While the Darksaber is undoubtedly cool, most people will probably want a normal lightsaber like those wielded by the Jedi and Sith. If this isn't the lightsaber you're looking for? We doubt even the Armorer could have done a better job. Still, it’s a minor flaw in an otherwise stellar replica. The LEDs that make up the blade are visible when you look closely are the main issue, and not one we’ve seen in other Black Series lightsabers, but it’s probably a consequence of the unique design of the Darksaber.

It’s also a great choice for lightsaber collectors who want something a bit different, as it looks unique when compared to the usual sabers. It’s a faithful replication of one of the most iconic weapons from the series. If you’re a Mando fan then The Black Series Mandalorian Darksaber Force FX Elite Lightsaber is a no-brainer.

Mandalorian Darksaber Force FX Elite Lightsaber: Battery life If you smack two of these against each other repeatedly, and with force, there is a very good chance that you’ll break the LEDs inside. It should be noted that while it has clashing effects and you can do some light play dueling with it, this is not a toy or a dueling saber. We did also find that the clash detection was a tiny bit too sensitive – if you swing the saber with some force and then stop before hitting anything, the motion can still be enough to trigger the sound sometimes. Our only real complaint is that you can see the individual LEDs in the blade as brighter spots along its surface, which does slightly ruin the illusion of it being a single glowing piece. Overall, the lights and sound effects do a great job of replicating what we see from the Darksaber on screen. Holding this button down will trigger a molten tip effect to represent the blade cutting through a solid material (like Qui-Gon Jinn cutting the door in Phantom Menace). Pressing the small button above the ignition button will make a blaster deflection sound, with the blade flashing to signal the blow. There are also some special effects that you can trigger for cinematic shots and poses. The control buttons for the Mandalorian Darksaber - the rectangular ridged button is the on/off switch, while the circular button above controls the blaster and molten tip effects. Swinging the blade gives off a suitable swooshing sound, while smacking the Darksaber against something will trigger those unmistakable loud clashing noises. Once the blade is ignited, there is an ambient humming. You get a suite of situational light and sound effects. This effect looks great and helps to sell the illusion, especially when accompanied by the ignition sound effect. Likewise, you also get a progressive de-ignition when you turn it off. This means that when you hit the ignition button, the lights move up the blade to simulate a lightsaber’s iconic ignition effect. Like some of the more recent Black Series models like the Obi-Wan and Darth Vader Force FX Lightsabers, the Darksaber has progressive ignition lighting. The Darksaber has an impressive set of lighting and sound effects that it can perform, making it ideal for cosplays and staged shots.
