Star Wars - The Black Series Darth Revan

I ended up snagging this at half price (paid $130). At that price point i would say it is a no brainer. However, at full price i would say that it depends. If you are looking for a revan lightsaber, this is the one to get. But if you are looking at various sabers, the Disney ones have a bit more polish. The blades are much better fits on the disney ones and the literal polish of the metal is nicer. That being said, this FX saber does react to contact better and has the button you can press to enact sounds and effects on the blade (piercing a door, deflecting blaster bolts). Also the ability to be red or purple is nice. The stand i also think is nicer than the disney ones. If i could give half stars i would put it at 4.5, but its more 4 than 5 for sure.

This was a daily deal that I happened to come across just before my daughter’s graduation party. She is a huge Star Wars fan and although I had no idea who Darth Revan was, I asked my son’s opinion (he is a huge Star Wars fan as well - they both knew who this character was) and he said this lightsaber is kind of rare and she would love it. When I went to pick it up the Best Buy guys couldn’t stop commenting on it being one of the coolest lightsabers and they didn’t even know Best Buy carried it. Needless to say she loved it and looked pretty cool in her graduation dress lifting this baby up!!

Not as good of quality as the higher end brands. However, as an aesthetic piece this is perfect. Pictured on far left. It changes between purple and red color.

Looks awesome. Sounds awesome. Full stainless construction looks awesome on display.

It's nice but I feel like it's a step backwards compared to older black series lightsabers. I have owned. For being all metal it is lighter than I expected it to be. The removable kyber crystal is nice but honestly switching between it and the blade is such a pain I don't see it as being something I will do often enough to make the inclusion of it worth it.
