Anakin EP3 (Brass) Lightsaber Unboxing & Review

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Indeed, this Brass version is much nicer (in terms of quality, sound and performance) than the previous ROTS SkinnyFlex you reviewed. However, I am fairly certain that both will pale in comparison to the 89 Sabers version. I am looking forward to seeing that 89 Sabers review when you receive it in the post. Thank you for sending me the link to this (updated) video here so I can draw informative comparisons. Take care, mate. Cheers! 👋 Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧🇮🇹

07:45 You can simply remove the battery then push the board gently from the bottom upwards so the sd card can be easier removed. Works for all my SN-Pixel Sabers with this chassies design.

Just ordered the Dark Star from vaders sabers and you’re the only person I can find that has done reviews on their sabers, loving the videos so far!

[@Anarion_Undomiel117]

Been watching your videos for the past 2 months or so and they are by far my favorite reviews and inputs on Lightsabers, as well as your passion for the franchise. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@Yapftl]

I was literally looking at this lightsaber on the website for days

[@CrimsonFlagg]

Great review, dude. You've been getting better with each one you do. From the intro to the cameras and everything in between. I can tell you really like doing these.

I appreciate it thanks!

​@@TheCollectorsOutpostHey John, I wanted to ask you a question about Proffie boards. Do you know how to load sound fonts onto Proffie?? I watched absolutesabers video on it because he seems to be the primary source to go to. The issue is that I've never coded or did any kind of computer programming. There may be certain nuances about it that he doesn't discuss. Plus, and according to what I've read, you can ruin your computer and your saber if you don't know what your doing. If I may ask you, if you wanted to load sounds on a Proffie board, so you know of any good sources that would do it for a commission?? Of course, what I would like, is that someone create a STEP-BY-STEP guide on how to do it, then publish it! This way, I could buy it and essentially teach myself how to do it. Anyway, I was just curious about your experience with Proffie boards. Thanks man.

[@nicksouthwell9393]

Just received this saber from Vader’s Sabers with the GHv3 yesterday. I’m extremely impressed. You’re not lying this has some weight (er..I mean quality) to it. This is my first lightsaber. And it’s exactly how I imagined a lightsaber would feel in the hand. However It comes with very generic fonts. And I found after I ordered it that it will void the warranty to add more on a Golden harvest. It doesn’t appear to be an issue with the other sound boards though. Kinda bummed about that. I guess I’ll tolerate it until it lapses because everything else is just so fantastic. Also it shipped to my door from China in 6 days from the date of order. Only took a little over 24 hours shipping. Great job Vader’s sabers!

[@Necroscat]

You don't slide the SD Card out! The way you get the SD card out is that the metal panel on it slides up towards the top of the SD card just a little bit & then it folds open. Then you can just take the SD Card out without having to slide it. You only have to slide it about a millimeter or two to get the metal panel lock place or unlock. The SD Card just lays on the board, so it can be kinda hard to get the panel to slide back over it with everything so small. Hope this helps!

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

that’s not how this works. I have many of those. This is a slide in. But thanks for the info!

[@8BitJustice]

They have in fact upgraded their removable chassis design already since this video. I got a hilt with an removable SNv4 chassis about a month ago, and there's a nice little cutout big enough to fit a whole fingertip in if needed (although I just use tweezers). There was indeed also a firmware update in mid-October that fixed accent swings, as well as enabling some post-sounds (i.e. endlock, enddrag, etc.) if your font has them. They also released a new Force Park V2 on iOS, and a new app entirely on Android (just shows up as "Lightsaber" on my phone). I hear the new iOS version is a major downgrade, but I'm on Android, and the Android one definitely improved my connection issues compared to the original Force Park app. Not nearly as flexible as a Proffieboard, but I genuinely think that with the ability to blend and combine blade effects to emulate complex Proffie bladestyles (albeit, not as well as Proffie), it's definitely a really solid choice if you don't want to learn how to use Arduino and write a config and all that jazz.

Ngl I would love a heavy saber! Like in the clone wars Padme literally said "It's heavier than I expected." When Anakin gave Padme his lightsaber. I want to feel like I'm actually holding a lightsaber, not some toy.

[@jbckidd_dontmewitme3908]

Nice review Is this a skinny flex? Also does the core you choose effect the brightness? I really would like my first saber to be a good bright one.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Brightness mostly comes down the the type of blade not the core. Show blades are thin walls so they are brighter. 7/8 blades are thinner so they are brighter. KR blade have brighter LEDS over all and then you have much higher end blades like tri star and quad star blade that have more stripes of LEDS inside but come with a have price tag.

I always hate how to covertec never seems to line up correctly. You would think with as much as we are spending on these sabers empty or not, they would put more attention to that...

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

You need timing shims. Threading, if just a hair off can throw everything off. I have Lightsabers that cost two or three times this price that you have to put timing shims in. Really not a big deal but I totally get it. Kind of crappy when you pay so much for something and it’s just a little off but many items with Threads besides light sabers have to use timing shims. It’s a bummer.
