Poor Design

I like everything about this Darth Revan Lightsaber except the grip part of the hilt. I don't know what genius designed this Lightsaber & decided to make the handle grip have rails on it. It makes it completely uncomfortable to hold. That's too bad, because Darth Revan is one of my favorites.

First let me start off by saying the five stars was well deserved. The ignition effect and color transition are so smooth, it's honestly very satisfying to just sit there and turn the saber on and off. The removable blade and being able to put in the color changing crystal really takes the cake for me. It's a subtle way to showcase Darth Revan’s descent to the Dark Side and is overall just ingenious! The craftsmanship on the hilt is relatively rough, it's not overly polished or smoothed down too much, so it truly does feel like you’re holding something sinister. The saber is fairly light as well which in my opinion really shows the elegance and efficiency of its wielder. The sound effects are on the quieter side however if you don’t cover the bottom, there shouldn’t be any issues. Overall fantastic saber, highly recommended especially for first time buyers!

Most Unique Black Series Lightsaber Yet!

This is by far one of the most unique lightsabers to come from the black series yet! Love that the blade is removable and there are so many amazing effects! The color changes from purple to red with the press of a button! There’s also effects for deflecting blasters! You also get a kyper crystal that you can put in the blade chamber and change it’s clear color from purple to red using the hilt! So awesome! Definitely one of the coolest lightsabers to come out ever!

First let me say I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the horrible sound which is very tiny. I've have about 14 various sabers likes these from the Black and Fx series and this is by far the worse sounding of them all.
It also doesn't the sound doesn't responds well with the movement of the blade, sometimes it works and sometimes nothing . If you start swinging the blade around with a little force you can feel the blade starts to move out and will disconnects which is a huge problem.
I do like the craftsmanship of Revan hilt and they way it feels. Love the way it changes colors.
But that sound is just to small and can barely be heard and delayed or not at all with the swinging motion. I know its not a defect cause others had said the same so hence, 4 stars.

Best EU Character Lightsaber

I was very impressed with the quality of the Lightsaber (it is well made and has a realistic weight). I like the fact that it can either be for the Light Side (purple blade) or Sith (red blade). The effects are cool, also. The only drawback is the lack of a way to carry the hilt when the blade is detached. I "fixed" this by attaching a "cell phone" ring holder stand to the base of the hilt and drilled out the sound holes in the stand. Overall, a very good buy for the money.

Darth Revan is my favorite SW character. Lightsaber is kind of unresponsive at times. Wish it was better designed for how much it is. Really light, I don't like that. The stand is cool though.

Nice color changing saber with removable blade. I like the enhanced flash response and sounds when clashing. Test all functions immediately. Had to return mine because it lost power on a light clashing motion.

After being delayed 2+ weeks thanks to UPS, I finally received this item. The instructions are so small, and don't explain much at all. It is very simple to put in the batteries and the blade portion. The kyber crystal it comes with doesn't look like pictures I've seen. Mine is clear in a gray casing, whereas I have seen it as red with a black casing. Not a big deal. The blade pushes in and then turns to lock. The color switching is easy, and the sounds are spot on. It looks and feels great.

It is super light compared to the Kylo Ren blade, and way more detail to it. I do wish the speaker was louder than it is. It is just lower than other FX sabers.

An Elegant Weapon For A More Civilized Age

There is no power a Sith holds that a Jedi cannot choose to wield. Such an amazing lightsaber to wield and show off. Metallic hilt and removable blade? Obvious bonuses! The fact you can also change the blade color from purple to red, and vice versa, it’s really neat!
One drawback though is that the hilt is hard to hold, but if it is used for a display more than an actual dueling saber, it’s amazing. I have no problems with the saber, and I will continue to use this until it dies out on me.

I preordered this and I’m so glad I did. There are some cool options that comes with this lightsaber. Hit the second button and the blade acts like it has been hit by a blaster, hold the button and red, yellow and orange lights move up and down the blade. I wish it had the ability to make sounds when the blade hits something. Otherwise this is a great buy.

I've owned master fx lightsabers before and this one is way cooler. Changes colors from purple to red. Handle is well built, just keep in mind blade has to be installed and is not designed for dueling. Not for kids

Darth Revan Lightsaber is Everything I Wanted!!!

I was hesitant to buy this based on some of the other reviews where people said they had trouble making this lightsaber work properly. I decided to just go for it because I wanted it so badly, and I am SO glad that I did!! This lightsaber is absolutely AMAZING - the purple and red colors are so cool, and the crystal and stand it comes with are also pretty legit. I think a lot of people were having trouble with it because they just didn't know how to actually put it together, but it is pretty simple if you just follow the directions. 100% recommend this lightsaber to anyone that is a fan of KOTOR or Darth Revan.

Bought this lightsaber because I'm an Old Republic and Revan fan and love it. I love the new features (color changing and blaster bolt blocking). I have lightsabers from other sites and Disney but really like this one the best

Excellent prop for decoration and easy to use. It's not quite perfect, however it's better than most of the black series sabers. A bit overpriced, however it is Disney/Star Wars so that's nothing new.

The product itself works beautifully! So much fun!
Many of the components are plastic so be careful if you intend combat. I will also note that this has an excellent metal “hilt” assembly.
Unfortunately, on the down side, the stand (Which looks pretty awesome) is made of a very.... fragile and brittle material. The stand was broken when I received the shipped package. This however, will NOT deter me from exchanging the item! Worth it!
