Everyone has their own take on Star Wars, but there's one thing that everybody from casual viewers to die-hard fans can agree on: we all want our chance to swing a lightsaber! If you've got plans to suit up as Lord Vader, you're going to want a red lightsaber to accentuate your costume effect perfectly. But those plastic lightsabers might not be quite up to snuff! Worry not, because we've got the Force FX Darth Vader Lightsaber from our friends at Hasbro. This saber is a Black Series collector's item. It's the perfect item for displaying in an office or fan display, but it works great for the ultimate Darth Vader cosplay experience as well. It features a plexiglass tube that lights up in Vader's red saber color, along with the immaculately-detailed hilt constructed with metal. Just one big word of advice, this saber is definitely not for battling your fellow Force FX Lightsaber wielding friends, as the tube is breakable. But for great photos, social posts, and looking incredibly cool at the Star Wars convention, this Force FX Lightsaber is the top choice!

But we want to make sure you're fully aware of all the optional accessories we have to help you get the most out of your experience!
