    Great saber for Emperor fans

    I bought this lightsaber to go with my Emperor Palpatine costume for Halloween 2021. It's pricy, but it qualified for a "30% off one toy" discount, and I had some rewards saved up, so I saved a bit of money on it. It has a few different light and sound functions, all accessible via two buttons. The hilt itself is metal and feels very solid in hand. And it made a wonderful glow stick while trick or treating so the kids could keep track of the grown ups in the dark. If you're a fan of the Emperor, or just cool lightsabers, this is the one for you.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Feels perfect in the hand, weight is out of this world. Sounds and lights are on par with the Revan Saber.

    This is a nice saber. I'm glad Hasbro went back to removable blade sabers. The hilt is excellent but could be a bit more secure when inserted. Nice sound a light effects. It's a great value especially on sale.

    This is a great looking lightsaber and feels quite heavy ,but like most of this series the volume is very low for the sound effects. Still a worthy buy.

    Love my Emperor Palpatine Black Series Lightsaber! The chrome finish on the hilt is beautiful! I also love that the blade has several features like a blaster deflector and wall drag. The funnest part is the lightening! Definitely needed for any Star Wars collectors.

    This thing is really cool. Aside from the normal "saber blade" functionality it includes a force lightening effect and a "cutting" effect. The handle looks and feels nice and I love that the blade is removable. I do wish the price was a little lower. It seems high considering what they used to go for.
