Earlier in the year, Alan from Vader's Vault had sent me a message through Facebook, jokingly saying that he knew a wicked sabersmith who could build an awesome saber to go with the armor I was making. Several months later, he showed me some CAD renders of the soon-to-be saber, and I knew that the final product would be a colossus.
A few weeks ago, Vader’s Vault had finally finished the saber, and sent one my way. After pulling it out of the box, I couldn’t put it down for hours! Not only is it an absolute work of art of the highest quality (I've examined it tip to tip, and I honestly cannot spot a single manufacturing flaw), it's hands down the most accurate Sith Acolyte saber reproduction out there. (Next photo: CG render of the screen saber vs Vader’s Vault replica below it). It requires no modification, no tweaking, and is ready for action right out of the box.
The specs on it are as follows:
- Tri-Cree XPE2 Suncrusher™ RRW LED.
- Plecter Labs Crystal Shard v2.5
- 3W 20mm Hi-Fidelity speaker
- 12mm Red AV switch.
- 18650 Li-Ion Battery Cell.
I won’t go into details and all the features here, since they are very nicely documented in Vader’s Vault’s YouTube video, so be sure to check it out here!
If you’ve been looking for an accurate Sith Acolyte lightsaber for your own costume, this is absolutely it!
And a comparison between the Holocron and Vader’s Vault hilts.
Thanks for looking!
