![]() ![]() A lightsaber's hilt is built by its wielder and is, therefore, unique in design. The color of a lightsaber's blade is given by its power source, the kyber crystal, which is influenced by the wielder and the Force as they connect with and tune the crystal. The Jedi use different colored lightsabers (predominantly blue and green, though purple, white, and yellow have also appeared in canon media), while the Sith wield exclusively red-bladed sabers to distinguish themselves from the Jedi. However, the lightsaber can also be wielded by non- Force-sensitive characters as an ordinary weapon or tool. In the Star Wars universe, the lightsaber is the signature weapon of the light-side-wielding Jedi Order and the dark-side-wielding Sith Order. The lightsaber's distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original films, and with digital effects for the prequel and sequel trilogies. First introduced in the original Star Wars film, it has since appeared in most Star Wars films, with at least one lightsaber duel occurring in each installment of the " Skywalker saga". A typical lightsaber is depicted as a luminescent plasma blade about 3 feet (0.91 m) in length emitted from a metal hilt around 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length. We want to make your saber as unique to you as your own fingerprints, and something you’d be proud to pass on to a younger generation.A lightsaber is a fictional energy sword featured throughout the Star Wars franchise. A quote from Bugatti, one of our favorite car companies, is "The truest form of luxury, is individuality" and we hold to that. No other production saber company even comes close to being able to offer you the saber of YOUR dreams. Unmatched in areas of finish like mirror polishing, specialized powder coating schemes that can't be found or had anywhere else, acid etching, laser engraving, custom shrouds, lambskin leather, accent lighting, you name it. We make luxury items, and we make them awesomely luxurious. It also gave us a hefty repertoire of skills to aid in making truly unique pieces of art. That's where we come in.In the before times, Vader's Vault started off making bespoke, one off custom sabers, and many of the techniques and practices we developed over the years doing those helped us streamline our production sabers. Once we accept this truth, it frees us from the mundane. ![]() ![]() However, in the here in now, they are luxury items. Look, we get it, they are the coolest things ever conceived of by man and our childhood foundation is built on dreams of wielding them in battle. Lightsabers are not 'needs', or necessary items. Let's have an honest moment here for a second. This helps to reduce the chance for any pixel defects making it into the final product that you receive. Our strips are 'burned in' here at the shop for 2-4 hours before even being assembled into a blade, which then gets further burn in testing at each stage of assembly. Our Neopixel strips are sourced from a company that provides us strips to our specs, ensuring the proper color wavelengths of each die for superb color mixing, as well as a minimal strip joint to minimize that ugly dark spot seen in inferior blades. Our Suncrusher Tri-Cree stars are reflowed 'in-house' so we can get any combo of color we want, and are mounted on a solid copper substrate star with direct thermal pathway to aid in heat management while over driving the LEDs. We buy our LEDs and strips in smaller batches which enables us to hand pick the brightest BINs available, and ensure that the quality from the manufacturer is up to our standards. While buying in large bulk does help to bring pricing down, doing so with lighting tech can have the drawback of not being able to adapt and offer the latest and greatest. We have always been at the forefront of lighting tech in this industry, and are always looking at, and experimenting with, new LEDs, Pixel strips or blade enhancing technology to make sure our customers always have the best and brightest sabers on the market. ![]()
