Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: Obi-Wan Kenobi Legacy Lightsaber Review 

Not true. Custom thin neck blades are battle tested.

@@ralphbrewster3241 They still are known to give out over time, especially during saberlocks. Dueling with thin neck sabers has never been recommended. Thin necks have always been more about display.

@Ralph Brewster tis true. Every "battle tested" video I've seen is extremely light hitting. My friends and I go hard-core when Dueling.

No one should be dueling with Hasbro/Disney Park sabers in general. Any saber with the LED’s in the blade should never be dueled with for the sake of reliability. There are much better 3rd party options out there that are hilt illuminated and can hold up to dueling. The reason these sabers have a thick neck is because Disney/Hasbro can’t be bothered to engineer a new interlocking blade system. It saves them money at the expense of quality and accuracy. Its the unfortunate reality of being greedy and lazy.

I think it's still just available in the bundle

general kenobi

I was expecting you

@@Mrfroyo-zf6wp you’re move

General Kenobi!

@@espressoman2544 ahhh!!!!

That's why I love my old Texas Custom Sabers Luke. It's very primitive compared to the Custom Saber options nowadays, but the thin neck is one solid piece and ever so slightly thicker than other Luke sabers and I speak from experience when I say that it holds up very well in a duel.

It does not I have both. Obi wans is bigger than Luke's. Already tried it haha.

I got it because the weathering is great it's better than the new black series one

@@CaseyPriceForsakenhero I managed to get one as well, but the weathering looked different on the box. Still pretty cool

@Night-Hawk hmm I feel like mine looks pretty close to the box and like what he has here in the video. Disney released the 3 Saber box set. That comes with the episode 1 and 2 Saber. The episode 3 and obiwan series style Saber. And then a much more Grey and scratched up episode 4 version that is only available in that box set.

@@CaseyPriceForsakenhero I’ll have to look at mine. I managed to get the box set that has all 3 lightsabers. I recall the episode 3 lightsaber looking a little different then the one pictured on the box? I’ll have to look at in the light tomorrow to refresh my memory.

@Night-Hawk the middle one should look exactly like the one I got and is featured here. But the episode 4 one looks different. Me I would have preferred if I got the box set. That one of the sabers look brand new. It's kinda weird that one is weathered and the other is extra weathered.

I looked at both when I went, the Kylo saber honestly feels & looks the most accurate imo. Plus it has the dual phase activation for the side blades which I thought was super cool. Definitely feels heavier/more durable than either Anakin’s or Luke’s

I wouldn’t want to pay 50 more dollars for smooth swing most people buy these for display not play

It be way more than 50 bucks lol

It's to keep all legacy sabers universally compatible with the blades and having them sit as far as they do in the the hilt makes it sturdier.

Only thing on my mind was thinking of something cold to ignore the heat lol

@@SirJamesIGamerfuzion yea, I know it’s really hot where you are!

It's heavier. I have both

Got it at Star Wars Galaxy’s edge and no other colors except for a Sith option that is a little different in design

Oh yea I forgot they had her sabers been a long time

Separate blades cost from $40-$50. The 36 inch blade which is the longest one, is $49.99. I think the 31 inch blade may be $39.99. The $49.99 price Is on the 36 inch box.

@@chrismroz1513 awesome thanks! I hope it's worth it lol

It’s a legacy saber so it works like any other blade except for the Darksaber one

Cali

If they only have the thick one literally no one would buy it. So this should be expected. Also other companies use better tech than disney sadly where theres smooth swing and you can insert the blade on obi wand and Luke’s when it’s thin.

Idk

At Star Wars Galaxy’s edge

Star Wars Galaxy’s edge

There there now I just got back and they where everywhere I ended up getting the Luke legacy lightsaber

Figured it out. Piece comes out

I think it’s too much money. I’d rather have a RGB w/smooth swing than disneys crap led blades with no smooth swing. No reason at this point they are still milking old tech.

@@ralphbrewster3241 I’m inclined to agree with you.

There's the force fx elite version available at standard retailers. Doesn't appear to be any differences aside from the legacy saber box.

@@borafett3005 I know but Because Obi-Wan is my favourite character I want both.

Not sure I’d be battling with these Disney sabers

@@ralphbrewster3241 true not ideal for lightsaber dueling

All movie lightsabers are very poor for combat, in movie, they don't count with blade weight, but in reality, you need somehow acceptable point of balance and hold it as close as it's possible to plade and your other hand put on pommel as if it was actual sword, not a toy like most of lightsabers are. Unfortunately saber cores all have very badly placed activation button, so it's hard to make ergonomy of the saber good. Also, most of saber cores are 1" in diametr which makes handle diameter like 32mm and that's too much for a smaller person or woman, it's not that bad, but smaller diameter would be more comfortable. I really wish someone finally made lightsaber where ergonomy and point of balance really makes sense, people who design that have no clue about sword fighting, how to hold and and how sword should look, when you want to fight with that, you have to think about that as it was really sword, which manufacturers don't do, they still think about that as if it was just toy or something on shelf.
