This video is an awesome introduction for any Star Wars fan who is looking to buy their first lightsaber! I cover topics like the history of retail lightsabers, Basic lightsaber terms, comparing retail lightsabers from Disney's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and Hasbro Force FX, and comparing the different sound boards in the more expensive neopixel lightsabers.
Did I leave anything out in my video?

    I still think the best ones are the 1999 Hasbro lightsabers. The retract all the way into the hilt. No lights and no sound but the blade disappearing completely is awesome.
  • @elijahcunningham
    I love what seems like just a cool dad nerding out over his passions, it's stuff like this youtube should be for!

    On my 11th birthday, we went to Disneyland, and I built one of those plastic telescoping lightsabers at Star Tours. I took it apart after that, because we weren't going to buy it yet, but later my dad and brother went back there and bought me one with decorations that I wanted. I liked it a lot, but then one time when I was dueling with my brother, the emitter snapped off. It was fun while it lasted, though.
  • This video is amazing (except for the fact that I already bought a lot of sabers 😐)
  • @mikey_jr93
    Killer video! Not only was this educational, but you made newbies like myself feel more confident in what we want to get. Major thanks my guy 🙏
  • @lajoyalobos2009
    I remember when my cousin had that exact 1995 Luke lightsaber. I asked my parents incessantly for my own but they kept telling me "if you do this or that, then we'll think about it" and then they didn't deliver on it or give me a straight answer. I guess as an adult I have ebay now.
  • I recognise that this video took time to make. And hard work was evidently put into producing such a meticulous, profoundly thought-provoking video. My friend, a huge credit to you for enlightening us… us in this esoteric Star Wars/lightsabre community. Bloody brilliant!👏 Thank you for sharing,👍 Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧
  • The first lightsaber I ever got was the 2013 or 14 Obi-wan Kenobi collapsible blade. I got it from my dad when I was only 5 or 6. I still remember opening it up on Christmas morning, and I have it to this day!
  • @senor_potter
    This is the only channel I'm coming to for anything starwars 🥴 very informative and you don't seem to hide anything when it involves buying the Neopixle sabers (and the better ones too)
  • @desmondross8395
    Love this video, showcasing the different levels of sabers is something i never knew I wanted
  • @CrimsonFlagg
    I wish there was a video like this when I was first getting into lightsabers. It would have made it a lot easier to understand what everyone was talking about.
  • @Johnny-xv3kt
    Thank you for the quality video and the comprehensive walkthrough of lightsaber's retail history!
  • @JayeL216
    I've had this custom baselit rgb for about a year (got it from a comic book store) and I could never get it to work. It would register and respond when it was being charged but that was all it could do. After watching this video I began to wonder if it had a kill - switch that I just didn't know about. So at almost 2 o'clock this morning, I removed the chassis from the hilt for the first time. It's a baselit chassis but the software is labeled as a xeno. Here's the kicker. Whoever had this saber last, the smartass didn't even put an SD card in the socket, which is why it doesn't do anything. So thank you Obi-dad for giving me an idea of what I might be up against.
  • @finna6415
    Thanks man! I’m about to buy my first dueling Saber and this video had so much information that I couldn’t really get out of other videos.
  • @ryanakers1372
    Thank you for all the info! Definitely some play sabers you mentioned I'm gonna have to look into.
  • @catface9535
    Didn't know lightsabers were real now beyond the telescopic ones released around the Episode 2 as a kid. This video told me everything I wanted to know. Thanks so much!
  • @austinnegron1484
    it is super cool to see how much the lightsabers have evolved, i forget when i got it but i have a force fx kylo ren saber and compared to my imperial workshop neopixel it makes you appreciate it so much more. love the vids!
  • I remember my trip to savi’s a few years ago. Made me fall in love with sabers, but never pursued collecting because of price and storage reasons. I live vicariously through these videos for the most part, but this is a great guide if I ever take the plunge again!
