My $5000 OBI-WAN KENOBI Lightsaber UNBOXING Master Replicas ULTRA RARE 

A elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

Master Replicas was the best, hands down. I still use my Luke Skywalker's Force FX lightsaber, which I bought back in 2004. The quality is still amazing to this day. I really hope to get my hands on Obi-Wan's new Force FX lightsaber, but I think Master Replicas version would be much better.

An elegant replica, for a more civilized age.

We’ve now learned that the weathering on Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber was from it sitting in the desert for 10 years.

Kenobi’s lightsaber is probably one of my all time favorites, this is awesome!🤙🏼

Nice. I highly recommend ’Roman Props’ for the most accurate version of the hilt.

Dude, I’m genuinely happy for you. That is an absolutely gorgeous piece of SW lore. You deserve it

The "finned" piece in front of the pommel, before the graflex band is the rear portion of a aircraft machine gun from WW2. The emitter is from a Rolls-Royce jet engine. The IG-88 head is part of the same aircraft engine.

I would love to have Mace Windu's battle damaged LS. That Obi Wan is absolutely SICK.

The synopsis was interesting. Obi-Wan as I understand it wasn’t a master in episode 2, he was given the rank when Anakin reached Jedi Knight between 2 and 3. So in 2003, this was right for prequel Kenobi to that point. But incorrect against what we know of OT Kenobi in 4-6. I can kind of forgive it, but you do expect the attention to detail to extend to the synopsis.

Before reading the video title, I actually thought you were unboxing Luke’s ROTJ saber-the resemblance between his and OWK’s is uncanny. Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing some of your other collectibles with us too!

17:55 "That's where i will build my massive collection" Achilles: "That is why they'll remember your name"

I used to check these out at a prop store in SF on Pier 39. As I too was a child in the early 2000’s these were a bit out of my price range. I really wish I had just saved up and bought one.

10:24 I choked up, my childhood flashed before my eyes, the memories I have with this franchise.

You’re becoming an American!? That’s great! We welcome you with open arms. Love the hats btw

You give me so much joy at your own expense with these videos😂. I wish you made more of them but it does make it very special when you do release a new one. It will make a fine addition to your collection! Thank you!

That's an incredible find. Hopefully you can get a ROTS version. Jedi Knight is a rank in the Order, yes. But Jedi Knight is also just a generic term for Jedi throughout the Galaxy. Note TPM Anakin asks Qui-Gon "You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?" Qui-Gon doesn't go "No, I'm a Jedi Master"

It’s great. Obi-Wan’s weathered lightsaber hilt is like a perfect parallel to what he personally goes through as one of the greatest Jedi to live!!

Damn I want a lightsaber collection so bad but they are so PRICEY. I don't even know where to start either. Would I get Anakin's saber first, or Ahsoka Tano's sabers, and if so would I get her Clone Wars sabers the shota and regular saber, which are both so cool with the green and almost yellow color scheme, or the cool asf white blades, there's of course Obi-Wan's saber...Rey's saber is pretty sweet too ngl. Being a nerd is an expensive endeavor lol.

I’ve always wanted obi’s, but my little child brain couldn’t resist all that chrome on anakins saber. Anyone ever got there lightsaber from a RadioShack too? XD

Wow! That saber is gorgeous! The detailing on it is amazing.

I remember just drooling over over the 3 lightsabers they released in this batch. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader - The Empire Strikes Back AND Obi-Wan Kenobi - A New Hope AND an extremely limited "As First Built" Obi-Wan which if I remember sold out immediately. It was a Collectors Society thing. Members had first dibs on the As First Built and they snagged them up in hours.

THATS SO COOL THEORY

You being so humble and grateful from your fans makes me love you even more. Thank you for the content bro

Qui-Gon's saber is my favorite however I've always had a thing for obi-wan and lukes design

@1:57, I'm glad you clarified it was $500 instead of $5000, that makes the price a lot more understandable

Oh man, I Loved QuiGons saber. It totally captured that thrill of being the golden age of Jedi refinement.

The part between the pommel and the clamp is from an old aircraft Browning machine gun. The emitter is a balance pipe from a Rolls Royce jet engine. The bubble strip on the clamp is from a TI Exactra calculator.

Master Replicas made the best lightsabers ever. The Kenobi weathered from ANH has always been my most wanted. I have Kenobi's from Episodes I and III.

Ah yes a Jedi’s weapon. A fine addition to your collection.

Hey Theory, I want to personally thank you for these videos. I have wanted a Saber of any kind for all my life ,but I simply can't afford one in all honesty ,so your videos give an experience of getting one. Also you care about S.W. like I do so I can enjoy watching you add to an awesome collection without feeling envy bc I know you appreciate every single piece. I'm truly happy for your success bc you're kind enough to share the experience with us. May the force be with you bud.

I respect the fact that you are building up on your MR collection, which started with your Sidious hilt if I am not mistaken. For other people though, these are rare and very expensive (MR shut down over a decade ago). You can buy a screen accurate replica of any saber from either Korbanth, KR Sabers, the Pach Store or SP Sabers.

“I can’t wait to inspect this with my own eyes” Theory’s inner Vader talking.

Theory’s coming to America!!! 🇺🇸😊🎉 We need to have a meet up sometime whenever you move to the States… Fan Meetup? Also I love your content, you have been such an inspiration for me! You have always given me something to look forward to when I am having a bad day, and I greatly appreciate you and all that you do! Congratulations on your success! Thank You!

**General Grievous heavy coughing**

Yes! It’s a WW1 British Rifle Grenade. The squares separated on detonation once the rifle launched it I believe it had a standard 5 second fuse the started as soon as it left the barrel. They fired a blank cartridge to propel it forward. It was a devastating design. It was the only lightsaber that utilized an actual weapon of war to make a weapon of a distinguished Jedi Master

Man, I so wish MR was still in production today. I was so young at the time, like you said, that any of their MR products were just crazy expensive, in perspective

I wish people like STW could be apart of the filmmaking for new star wars properties. Man is a fan and is for the fans through and through

I love how they weathered it! Disney should take notes!

Unsure If anyone has answered your question in regards to the clear acrylic stand but I will,Master replicas officially comes with the black stand that you currently have. from what I have learned from being in the Star Wars master replicas Facebook group is that if someone lost the black stand or it came damaged people typically end up sticking their metal plaques to the acrylic stand. Of course I could be wrong. My Sidious LE has the two black MR plaques but my maul saber only has the clear acrylic stand and both look equally as nice. Hope this helps :)

Love these types of videos and love seeing inside your beautiful home! Would love to do a Star Wars watch party in that basement theater!

How could Luke's saber be battle damaged by electrocution if he tossed the saber aside before the Emperor started electrocuting him?

congrats on the saber and over a billion views, proud to be part of this and a few of those views, congrats man!

Bro that saber is gorgeous. Have you ever done a room/collection/office/studio tour theory!?!?

I had one of these I had bought in 2005. Then I sold it along with my entire MR collection, I got pennies on the dollar. If I had any idea these would be thousands of dollars I would've weathered the storm!

*Waiter:* And what will you be having today, sir? *Palpatine:* Ooorder 66! *Waiter:* Very good, sir.

Congrats on the new addition ! I was lucky enough to be able to get all the MR sabers and blasters back when they were still in that 300-500 dollar range including a number of the signature ones. The NH version is by far the most distinctive one and just oozes character by virtual of being battered and showing the hard life of a jedi's weapon over the decades. It really mirrors it's owner at that point in his life. Luke's ROTJ V2 version is also a bit beaten but not to the same level of detailing. Mostly cosmetic. SPOILER : Yoda's clone saber is REALLY not wore . Just a few scrapes but I guess MR just wanted something from the movie for him. Maul's battle damaged piece is pretty cool because it has the crystal in the end of the hilt. If you're going for the really rare one look for the As First Built Kenobi saber. It had a production run of only 500 worldwide and is the holy grail of these MR props (hand weapons any ways). I managed to get my hands on # 466 (before anyone asks NO I'm never selling mine). It's just as the name says , all pretty shiny. So a great "before" piece for comparison. Lastly, I would recommend that if you are going to continue collecting these, as I suspect you are, invest in a dedicated glass shelving setup to display them properly side-by-side on multiple levels to show off these incredible works of craftsmanship. Make sure it's heavy tempered glass and four(or more!) screw shelf brackets to support the weight ! Only had to make that mistake once with the Gentle Giant busts... Best of luck in getting the rest of these works of art.

"DO IT!" OMG, I love Ian. I would die. I'm so jealous. That's such a great way for him to personalize it too!

Congratulations on your purchase. May it bring you fond memories in the days months and years to come. May the force be with you sir. Thanks for the video.

Original packaging is dope man, that guy was a legit collector... really cool..

I lost it when he said “ASMR ACTION”. 🤣

SWT talkin to that saber like “let me look on you with my own eyes..” that thing is a beauty!

That small acrylic stand was used when the plaques were just the metal ones so we would stick the plaque on there. I have several of those which were used on some of the earlier models then they transitioned Into that plastic stands. Probably with production they just included that acrylic stand. That hilt was produced in a transition phase.

I always wanted Luke's Green Lightsaber...and Count Dooku's/Darth Tyrannus's Sith Saber.... Now, I'd add The Skywalker Family blue Saber, The Inquisitor blades, and Yoda's.

the as "first built" model of this saber from MR is beautiful

Love seeing the younger folks getting master rep. I had every single one all versions. Unfortunately an illness in the family forced them to be sold. Now don’t quote me but years ago I heard the Master Rep pissed George off royally. Story was they did a Mara Jade and had Shannon Randall come and sign plaques. George did not authorize this and they thought it would be a nice surprise. He had and as i say rumor mill, he had all licenses pulled and all molds removed that day! He was Incened! The license and molds went to Hasbro. The older force fx Hasbro dare 100% identical to the master rep versions. The Star Trek license left shortly thereafter

$5000!!! I wish I had that laying around, that thing is a beauty. Probably my favourite lightsaber too, or at least top 5.

I am pleased you got it.. some people only dream of owning something like that and if anyone has earned the right to own it.. it would be you.. arguably one of the greatest Star Wars fans out there!!

On first look it just looks old, until you realize that is was made to look that way and is in pristine condition, incredible work from master replicas

Dude! Awesome! I’m jealous! But very happy for you! Great addition to your ever growing lightsaber collection! Best of wishes to you theory. And I am excited for the upcoming Kenobi Watch Party! Peace, Bro!

Fun fact, the saber Obi-Wan is using in the show is a mash up of sorts between his ROTS and ANH saber. Everything but the emitter is ROTS and the emitter (which in real life was a balance pipe off a Rolls Royce derwent jet engine) is from his ANH version of the saber. On the ANH saber, the part after the sink knob (Armitage Shanks sinks) and before the graflex band was from a machine gun from a WW2 fighter. The activator is a bubble strip from a 1970s exacta calculator. And the thin neck part after the grenade section is part of a wind vane.

it’s funny i was just watching your old saber reviewed literally 2 days ago, but i thought those Kaber sabers seemed to be the best you can get, can’t wait to see how good this is tho

There isn’t many RU-vidrs that seem genuine. Thanks for being a real one brother.

It’s my goal to one day buy the version of this lightsaber they made for Revenge of The Sith.

I’m in the uk I remember Woolworths been full of master replicas for about £50 a pop, I got my collection then before they became daft money.

Hey Star Wars theory just wanted to say I love you videos all of them I’ve watched you for about 4 years now I always whatch you keep up the good work

Hey Theory. I just wanna say thank you. At the moment it feels like everyone has just blocked me out of their life, but star wars and YOU keep me going, so from the bottom of my heart thank you so much, your fans love you so much ❤️

That will make a fine addition to your collection, and keep all of the original wrapping it adds the value to it

Bro! That is beautiful... Especially with the old beaten up look.

Im glad I jumped on the MR items when they came out,theyre some of the nest ones

Idk why but i got like chills watching the saber and looking at it...

Most gigachad energy I’ve ever seen in a video

The Kenobi/Luke Design from the og films are just bonkers😍

Love kenobi’s lightsaber. The thin emitter and the pattern in the grip is just my type of lightsaber hilt

Lovely saber and congrats on the billion love this channel followed it for years 😎

Man you’re so lucky, obi wan is my favorite character. I’d die to have something like this

General grievous would be proud of this collection

I've been wanting an Obi-Wan lightsaber since the prequels! I couldn't afford them back then cuz I was a kid and I was disappointed to find that Master Replicas doesn't exist anymore when I finally could buy my own stuff.

Congratulations. Obi-Wan's lightsaber is, in my opinion the most beautifull lightsaber in Star Wars. Master Replica realy did an excellent job. I just got the .45 scale Episode IV model.

That looks incredible! Even though I haven’t been blown away by the Kenobi series yet, I’m still always looking forward to your watch parties man. You’ll always be my favorite Star Wars RU-vidr dude. Ignore all of the haters and Twitter SJW’s calling you toxic and all that bs. Unfortunately, having expectations and standards for Star Wars is apparently “toxic” these days. SMH Even though this series hasn’t really impressed me so far, I’m still hoping that these last 2 episodes are going to be bangers. Can’t wait for tomorrow night’s watch party!😁

Someday you should do a tour of all you Star Wars stuff

I think Knight in Jedi Knight was meant in the sense as a nod to the warrior caste it represents not the actual rank within the order.

Sabers often look like they belong inside a machine, like a power coupler or some such thing. Never understood how something so full of hard surfaces and pointed edges can be comfortable moving around in the hands in a fight. Nice piece though, definitely nailed the motif. Congrats!

This will make a fine addition to my collection - Star warsTheory

Now you need an Spsabers accurate hilt if you want 1:1 perfection of an on-screen saber 👌.

Living the dream! Super jealous man, congratulations. Only thing I have remotely close to rarity is a giant spyro the dragon statue at number 34 of 1500.

The amount of times he says "with my own eyes"

Thats a beautiful saber and box and.....that's a fine addition to your collection...general grievous voice lol

Bro, that saber review intro is absolutely fire

Man, that brings memories from watching A New Hope!

Can't wait for the next watch party. This time I'll be able to be there live...

I have a master replica stormtrooper helmet, I absolutely love it. It was pricey and for good reason … it’s the replica of all replicas of said helmet

That’s so sick bro!!! Congratulations

I got the “icons” (pre-master replicas) “newly built” version at Celebration 2. I love the “battle worn” look, a little jealous

*a fine addition to my collection*

Very cool piece. My favourite is still your Anakin Lightsaber though. The design is so sleek and utterly beautiful.

The krazy fresh the rust makes it stand out!🔥🔥🔥💯💯🤟🏾🤟🏾

Dude! That’s sick! Love the lightsaber man, great unboxing!

This is dope! I have a small collection of lightsabers, and my favorite is a staff that has one short orange blade, one long green blade, and a three foot hilt

I like these causal videos a lot, very badass collection
