Connectivity

Hard Case & Display

Stand Included

The Darth Vader EP5 Lightsaber is a faithful recreation of the Sith Lord’s iconic weapon as seen in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. Its signature design features a polished silver and black hilt with bold T-tracks, a detailed control box, and an emitter shroud that exudes pure intimidation. This saber captures the menace and grandeur of Darth Vader’s presence, crafted with incredible precision for collectors and fans alike. The weight and balance are ideal for display or light duelling, offering a realistic feel to match its cinematic accuracy.

Equipped with Xenopixel V3 electronics, this lightsaber includes a Neopixel blade, making it perfect for showcase and light duelling but not for heavy duelling. The 144-LED strip within the blade delivers vibrant illumination, realistic ignition effects, and dynamic blade styles. Additional features include 34 pre-installed sound fonts, smooth swing motion detection, multiple ignition modes, gesture controls, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity for customisation via the “XenoConfigurator” app on iOS and Android.

History

The EP5 version of Darth Vader’s lightsaber represents a critical era in his reign as the enforcer of the Emperor’s will. This hilt design became widely recognised during Vader’s pursuit of Luke Skywalker, including their legendary confrontation on Cloud City. Unlike the more industrial look of his earlier designs, the Episode V hilt introduced sleeker lines and refined control detailing—features that reflected his fully evolved Sith identity.

Crafted with the expertise of a Dark Lord and the remnants of a Jedi past, this saber became a symbol of fear and dominance across the galaxy. It was wielded not just in battle, but as a constant reminder of Anakin Skywalker’s fall and Darth Vader’s rise. This replica pays tribute to the enduring legacy of one of cinema’s most powerful and tragic villains, offering fans the chance to hold a piece of galactic history in their hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the lightsaber versions?

There are 5 main types of lightsaber electronics:

  • RGB-X & S-RGB – These sabers illuminate the blade from the hilt and are built for durability, making them ideal for heavy-duelling. They come with a Baselit blade, which has no LEDs inside and looks best in dark environments.
  • Xenopixel V3 & SNV4 PRO – These lightsabers use Neopixel blades, which contain LEDs throughout the blade for brighter and more vibrant effects. They are not designed for heavy-duelling, but offer advanced visual effects and customisation.
  • Proffie 2.2 – A highly customisable lightsaber that also comes with a Neopixel blade. It allows advanced users to modify sound fonts, blade effects, ignition styles, and more through open-source software, making it ideal for those who want full control over their lightsaber’s performance.
Can you duel with the lightsabers?
  • RGB-X & S-RGB sabers with Baselit blades are designed for heavy-duelling.
  • Xenopixel, SNV4 PRO, and Proffie 2.2 sabers with Neopixel blades are best suited for showcase and light-duelling but should not be used for intense combat.

For heavy-duelling, we recommend going with a thick neck saber so the blade is better supported and less likely to become wobbly or snap.

Are Saber 66 Lightsabers and helmets replicas?

No – our lightsabers and helmets are in no way intended to be replicas. Size, materials, colours and design details are all inspired by officially licensed sabers, but they are not replicas.

Do the lightsabers support Bluetooth connectivity?
  • RGB-X and Xenopixel V3 support Bluetooth connectivity via the “XenoConfigurator” app on iOS and Android.
  • S-RGB and SNV4 PRO support Bluetooth connectivity via the “ForcePark V2” app on iOS and Android.
  • Proffie 2.2 does not have built-in Bluetooth functionality.
Do you offer a warranty on lightsabers?

Yes, all lightsabers come with a 1-year warranty, covering manufacturing defects and electronic malfunctions. If you encounter any issues within this period, please contact our support team for assistance. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, modifications, or improper charging.

Do you offer replacement parts?

Yes, replacement blades, chargers, and other accessories are available for purchase separately. If there is a more specific part that needs changing, please contact out support team for assistance.

How do I recharge my lightsaber?
