Hasbro Star Wars the Black Series Darth Vader Force FX Elite Lightsaber

Experience the full power of the dark side with the Darth Vader Force FX lightsaber replica, the latest addition to Hasbro's fan-favourite Black Series. Modelled after the crimson-bladed weapon wielded by the corrupted Anakin Skywalker during the era of the Galactic Empire, this officially licensed product features authentic details, including a black-ridged hilt and red crystal (which is removable).

Fans of the Star Wars universe can use the provided stand to display it amongst their collection. There is a detachable blade (complete with LEDs), so you can decide whether to display the Darth Vader lightsaber replica in its ignited or passive state. Conversely, this collectable can also mimic the sound effects of this ancient Sith weapon once you have pressed the button on the hilt, simulating the epic duels witnessed in George Lucas's critically acclaimed movie franchise.

Where Did Vader Get His Red Lightsaber?

Darth Vader's lightsaber made its first appearance in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), the movie in which he strikes down his old master, Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Alec Guinness). Throughout the course of the original trilogy, the Dark Lord (David Prowse / James Earl Jones) demonstrates his raw Force power and prowess with a lightsaber, which he wields using a style of combat known as Form V. This aggressive approach serves his objectives well, allowing him to win his first duel with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), whose hand is lost as a result of their altercation on Cloud City.

Fans who have watched the entirety of the prequel trilogy know that Darth Vader was once a Jedi Knight by the name of Anakin (Hayden Christensen) and that he fell to the dark side after being manipulated by Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid), who promised the secret to saving the life of his pregnant wife, Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman). However, few know where he got his red lightsaber, which replaced his original blue weapon. The answer can be found on the pages of the comic books, where it is revealed that he built a new hilt after bleeding the crystal of Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a, whom he had been tasked to kill.
