Lightsaber Symbolism
The lightsaber is one of the most famous weapons in the world, and the Star Wars movies have captured the hearts of an entire generation. In the Star Wars universe, future Jedi and Sith apprentices are required to craft their own lightsabers in order to properly complete their training in using the Force. Now you can do the same and build your own custom ultimate lightsaber on CXSABER!
Parts needed to build a lightsaber
To build your own lightsaber, start by selecting from our extensive inventory of lightsaber components and accessories. Here are the main parts you'll need:
Lightsaber Body: The lightsaber body, also known as the grip or handle, is the main housing of the lightsaber electronics and is also the part held during close combat. Lightsaber bodies come in a variety of styles, colors, and button configurations, so be sure to choose one that provides a comfortable grip for your fingers!
Lightsaber Launcher: In the Star Wars universe, the launcher is the part that creates the plasma sword we know and love. The lightsaber launcher protects the fingers from the opponent, and some lightsaber models require an additional claw assembly on the launcher.
Lightsaber hilt: The hilt, also known as the end cap or butt, is located at the bottom of the housing and is used to secure electronic components and batteries. Most sword hilts unscrew to allow for easy battery replacement after a long battle.
Lightsaber Coupler: Some lightsaber models can be fused together to create a lightsaber staff or double-bladed lightsaber. The lightsaber coupler holds two separate lightsabers together and can be easily removed, allowing you to continue dual-wielding your lightsabers.
Lightsaber Electronics: This line of lightsaber electronics allows you to choose specific types of battery housing modules, activation buttons, momentary switches, and LED units. You'll also find several types of battery chargers to keep your lightsaber ready for action.
Lightsaber Sound Accessories: Designed for use with our neopixel lightsabers, here you'll find lightsaber sound accessories including battery holders and speaker options as well as a USB cable to upload sound profiles to your lightsaber sound effects.
