As an ex owner of the master replica this is a level down minus the newer led lights and effects in this one.. I don't like the last grip grid that stabs the hand vs the master replica has hard rubber fins compared to the plastic one on these.. The sound is also not as loud as the master replica.. But all and all,I do love this new one, I sold my replica when it was valued at 1,700.00 and I got this one for a steal at 165$. Which is why I still give it a 4 star. Mit will make most people happy.. And wear a glove like Darth vader when handling and your hand won't hurt

Better than expected. Preferred over the Legacy series.

This is one of the most fascinating lightsabers I have ever encountered, and I have a collection of them. The feel and weight, lights, and responsiveness are out of this world. The background sounds are intuitive with the lights. Overall, the features and aesthetic feel of the elite lightsaber blew my mind and imagination. And when you are not playing with it, it also comes with a stand to display it. It is worth every penny, especially if you are a Star Wars fan.

Awesome lightsaber. Looks great in any collection. Like other Black Series sabers, this is definitely more of a display piece. Grips are not the most comfortable if you actually plan to swing it around

If you love star wars this is a must have. I purchased it on sale which was so awesome. It works very well, I am very pleased. Looks so cool in the dark. I’ve switched to the dark side now.
