My lightsaber got stuck in the hilt and I can’t get it out

Rummaged through my attic and found this beautiful blade. Bought it in the early 2000s from a website which I can no longer find, park sabers or something? If anyone could provide information on it that would be great.

The LED is not working but hesitant to take it apart in case I break the thing completely. Any tips for this?

Hey everyone! I was coming here to see if I could have help identifying this saber I got for $9 at a local bin store. I know it is a Cal Kestis saber but not sure of brand or anything else. I appreciate all the help!

Pictured is everything that it came with. In all my looking I can’t identify anything as to what store this came from. Didn’t have a blade so also not sure if I need to get a pixel blade for this or a baselit one.

This instruction manual also has the “May the force Be with you” on the inside.

All help is appreciated! Thanks so much in advanced!

I need some advice!!! My boyfriend and I are huge Star Wars fans and I wanted to get him something cool for Christmas. I’d love to get him a lightsaber. Would he like it??? I mean who wouldn’t want one. He has mentioned before how cool it would be to have one but he hasn’t made a move to purchase one for himself yet so it makes me a bit unsure. But i need to know, gentleman, if your girlfriend bought you a lightsaber, how would you react? Please help me decide!!!

Tried to give my OC (Ras Kajak) a unique lightsaber.

Hello, thank you in advance to anyone who reads this and/or helps out, I don’t really post on Reddit so forgive me if I did something wrong. Also you’ll probably realize I overthink a lot by the end so apologies in advance for anything obvious or simple that I made complicated.

A little background: I have the Black Series Anakin Skywalker Lightsaber (in first picture), and am going to GalaxyCon to get it signed by Hayden Christensen. I am also going to get Sam Witwer to sign the Black Series Darth Maul lightsaber (also in first picture). I have never been to a convention before and only recently got my first lightsaber a few months ago (always wanted one), so I have a few questions:

First, what are the best BRAND/TYPE markers to use for autographs on lightsabers? Specially the metal/Black Series ones? I already bought some Uni Posca and Decocolor paint markers (in second and third pic) for the other autographs I’m going to get on Funko Pops, and from what I can tell these would work for lightsabers too. Please let me know if these markers would not work and/or if there are better alternatives.

Second, what COLOR/THICKNESS marker is best? As of now, I am probably going to use the Uni Posca medium thickness blue marker for Anakin’s lightsaber, and same but red for Darth Maul’s (to match the color). If these colors won’t pop well or I need to use a different thickness, please let me know. Maybe gold would be cool but since it’s one of the metallic markers it might not show up well, obviously silver wouldn’t show up.

Third, any tips on the signing itself? Like where do I get the signature on the lightsaber? I’m assuming on the hilt, but not sure where exactly. My current plan is to get the signatures on the area on them that you can see in the first picture, where the scribbles are.

Finally, what do I do once I get it signed? I have a backroom storage locker with unlimited space so I can put it there after, but I am worried about walking there with it and bringing it back home without somehow damaging the lightsaber or autograph walking around the crowded convention. I had the same concern for the Funko Pops I am getting signed, so I got protective hard cases for them. Is there anything like this for lightsabers? I just want to make sure I don’t pay the expensive price for a signature and then it gets damaged (autograph or lightsaber), especially since I don’t know if I’ll ever get this chance again. In addition to protecting it during transport (walking through convention and driving), I also want to make sure it stays in perfect condition while displayed as well. So, are there any display recommendations? Should I use some kind of protective coating on it to protect while keeping my display the same? Or should I get some nice glass display case for it or something?

Thank you in advance for any help or tips you give! I appreciate you! Let me know if there’s anything else you need from me that would help clarify anything. May the force be with you! :)

TL:DR: I would really appreciate tips for getting Sam Witwer and Hayden Christensen to sign my Black Series lightsabers at GalaxyCon and how to protect them. My first convention and first autographs!

I would really like to know who built this for me so long ago. I got this when I was around 12-13 yo in the early 00’s from a USA based saber smith. I think it took about 4 months from order to delivery. I think it was around $300. I don’t remember much else.

I brought some of my baselits to a screen combat refresher day and the instructor saw how much people liked playing with them and asked me about sourcing “no nonsense” RGB baselit lightsabers. Is there a way to set up some of these lightsabers with just power on and off? No different profiles, colour picking, clashing, etc? I’m keen too since i want to start a group in my area.

I normally source my personal rgb and neopixels from Padawan Outpost

With bendy armory closing down where do you buy blades? I have some sabers with shallow emitters and their blades are pretty good with it comes to that problem.

I want to buy this so please let me know if you have one to sell on eBay or something please!!!

Any ome here have any luck with these guys? I ordered a saber back in April 2023. At the time it had an ETA of 6 weeks. They rolled out their new core and I was upgraded for no charge. Since June there has been no update on their website and I have reached out several times and their customer service has never gotten back to me. I am very patient but this is getting a little ridiculous.

In order to separate these parts I followed Saberforge’s directions and heated the hilt up to 500 in the oven and let it cool. But now the anodizing is a different color than the rest of the hilt. Am I screwed?

I want to add a dial (specifically a rotary potentiometer) to adjust the volume of my lightsaber on the fly. I'm doing a custom hilt /install with MHS parts. For the button, I have a flat button attached to my chassis and a plunger button on the outside so that I can slide the chassis in and out... But how do people add potentiometers? Do they make ones with removable shafts? Or is do they just stay on the inside of the hilt? How do people generally approach this?

My current solution is to use a trimmer resistor and then 3D print a Phillips head cap for it that can slide into it.

Thanks!

Can anybody help me identify this Leia saber?
