Sol's lightsaber looks like a cross between QuiGon Jin and Asoka's

[@rothgamez]

I'm glad it's not a foot in diameter like in the show. Those hilts are thicc

[@Pedicine]

Disney dudes think that "thicker is better" rule works not only on thighs

[@StillSaber]

Just like the Galaxy's Edge sabers, but I prefer mine to be a rod not club or a bludger.

[@TheBrodalorian]

Totally starting to dig on this design

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Yeah it’s very much inspired by the young Ahsoka hilt. I like it.

[@_TheCreativeTurtle_]

Finally someone that also noticed that the lightsaber hilts in The Acolyte are THICK af, they really looks like a Savi’s Workshop lightsaber and that’s horrible Small edit: I can’t believe that Master Sol’s lightsaber has 2 belt clips, that’s crazy

[@MasterKure]

Well just like anything, as the technology improves the smaller and better things get, after all it’s 100 years before the empire! Just a thought 👍😂

[@jordancrossgrove8827]

They’re bigger because they’re using self contained battery packs. I guess for Ashoka they hid them mostly under her robe with the wires running up her arm.

[@piplup10203854]

Thank you! Like you said around the 1:36 minute ish mark Jedi using martial arts is so great! It makes so much more sense too because before the modern conception of the lightsaber right they used swords! So before that naturally would be some form of hand to hand combat. But, I loved seeing Indara and Sol Jecki etc using more martial arts and incorporating those styles in. Like seeing Cal Kestis using his elbows and force attacks is just awesome! I want our Jedi to be well versed fighters! The universe is supposed to know them and immediately be either on their best behavior or hope they're not the ones the Jedi are investigating lol but those fight scenes with Sol were awesome!! Him grappling with the stranger was crazy! when he gave him the hands! Bro lost his lightsaber and didn't even flinch at continuing the throws!

[@IvanKinkle]

To be fair, Luke's original light-saber in ANH was pretty thick and it was also thick in ESB. While I don't necessarily believe it, a rumor going around is that these hilts are deliberately thicker because it's 100 years in the past and the tech hasn't advanced to the prequel era yet. But I don't think that is true, I actually think it's due to the props, but then if we looks at the sabers in "Kenobi", those hilts match the prequels while also using the modern method with a led tube. So maybe there is something to that rumor of the sabers being older, but I don't think we'll know until we get some more interviews or bts info.

[@drewby618]

The Graflex and MPP camera flashguns can be thicker than some other lightsabers (especially compared to prequel lightsabers), but they’re not that bad in all honesty. They’re nothing like the Savi’s/legacy sabers though. Those are WIDE. As for the theory that they’re thicker because in canon they’re older, I just don’t buy it. This show is set 100 years before The Phantom Menace (32 BBY). Santari Khri (who died 209 BBY) and Dagan Gera had much more standard sized sabers. Acolyte sabers are most likely thick so that they can add the pieces to Savi’s or make “screen accurate” legacy sabers. I don’t blame Disney for making them this way, but I’m much more interested in these hobbyist sabers.

[@jeremydrew1227]

Tell me you never held a Graflex without telling me you never held a Graflex.

[@drewby618]

@@jeremydrew1227 ummmm I have an ANH Graflex? The thickest part is the bottom half because of the grips, which are wide yes. But the top half isn’t that bad if you avoid the red button and bunny ears. The worst part about the Graflex are the greebles, but that’s the charm of that hilt as well.

[@louismcmahon88]

Amazing review I'm glad art sabers made it to size to fit the hand better

[@keeganhollis3301]

They wanted to try to accommodate the batteries of the sabers in the hilts themselves. In shows like ahsoka, and obi wan, they hid the battery and wire on the actors themselves.

[@scottbradley6668]

Definitely love the changes they made to the saber so it’s not so Thick! I’m also loving Master Sol, very cool character.

[@CrimsonFlagg]

That's a pretty cool looking hilt. I like the changes they made to it for sure.

[@Necroscat]

Yeah when I saw that lightsaber I immediately thought of Padawan Ashoka. Love that heat-staining look on any lightsaber! Really wish that some sabers offered it as an option like they do with weathering!!!

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Agreed. Heat staining looks great on some hilts for sure.

[@NebLleb]

Hey, thanks for reminding me that four years after its final season, The Clone Wars is STILL the best Star Wars show. Certainly better than The Acolyte!

[@Chaz-hd4ng]

The heat staining on mine is even all the way around. And this thing is deceptively heavy and small-ish at 9.8"L with a 1.3" diameter. I don't think it's made out of normal saber aluminum. Which may indicate real heat staining and not painted on. But it's a beauty! Thanks for more great content and look forward to more! Keep up the good work.

[@TheWasteOfTime]

It's funny, on twitter or something I saw someone complain about the fighting. Like "what is this Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon nonsense?" and someone rightfully pointed out that if anyone is gonna have that style of fighting, it'd be the Jedi. I wish they'd hire Hong Kong stunt coordinators for the Jedi more often! But in any event, I also really liked the character of Sol and dug how his Lightsaber seemed at once chunky and elegent. I thought I was kinda done buying lightsabers, but I might have to actually pick this one up.

[@goyitoa2332]

Love that design at the top of the Saber, I think Sol's saber would work great as a shoto saber for double saber combo

[@rdx4542]

The photon ignition I think makes more sense coming from the hilt not the tip. The Hilt is the source of ignition so the flashes should be coming from that end and moving towards the tip. I wonder if you can change that in the code.

[@kingsgambit9786]

Can I know where I can buy the workbench mat you're using?

[@bl3343]

I'm impressed that they already have that design out. The show is only what, three weeks old?

[@benslooking4coolstuff]

I noticed on my neopixel, that annoying beep has gone away and you just have to "feel" the wait, or look @ the button flash for the counts. It almost trains you and then the beeps go away. I love it. Maybe theres a setting for it that Im obviously missing?

[@killianadams4779]

I wish they used this kind of lightsaber because it just doesn't make sense to use that big thing. I have the same thoughts about the show that you do, but a little more harsh.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Oh I can be harsh but there’s no place on this channel for that. I don’t enjoy talking about or even making long videos about things I don’t like. Just seems like a waist of my time and I want this channel to be a place that everyone came just enjoy something together.

[@noddystv8861]

That’s a good looking hilt, I like the simplicity of it too,great review mate 🤙🏻

[@Gofr5]

I appreciate that the saber is not big and thick like on the show. Slimmer tube makes it actually practical for actual use. The bigger thicker show tubes are just not practical at all. I would pick the slimmer tube every single time over show/movie accurate thicker tubes.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

A greed. I have I bunch of Disney holts and they are 1: way to dam heavy 2: so thick you can get a good grip around

[@srujanprabhunadella2888]

Is it single button or double button system? 😅

[@runningcoyoteflynn]

I 100% agree with the opinion. Way too much padding on the show. I think once the inevitable movie edit comes out that will be much better

[@MasterKydis]

How do you fix app connected, app disconnected? It happens all the time

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

That’s up to the app/xeno makers. Nothing we can really do to “fix” The bugs. They need to put out a xeno v4 with strong connection.

[@newhappiness4410]

Another great and beautiful video, love this saber yep agree needs weathering. After comparing the Xeno3 and SNV4 Pro I still think the Xeno3 is still more polished although the SNV4 Pro was potential IF it’s updated more frequently

[@idiot_city5444]

The burned chrome area is dope

[@Sick_Sara]

It does look a lot nicer once it's not the size of a beer can.

[@jordancrossgrove8827]

They reason the hilts are bigger because they’re using self contained battery packs. I guess for the Ashoka show they hid them mostly under her robe with the wires running up her arm. Which still doesn’t make sense because other characters didn’t have hilts that thick and clearly didn’t need battery packs. Which still STILL doesn’t make sense considering people have been making high quality, screen accurate style lightsabers for a long time. I can understand why in Galaxy’s Edge the sabers aren’t as high quality and are bigger than a higher priced, higher quality saber. But Disney definitely has enough money to afford to have sabers made that will look good on screen that aren’t so damn thicc with “battery packs.” 🙄

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

We live in a world filled with thinner lightsabers with internal batteries and speakers. There’s no reasons for them to be that big beside to put right in to the park with out needing to redesign.

[@Warrior_Saint88]

I so want that now.

[@coledubois6669]

Saw that the hilts were so thick because of them putting the battery pack in them

[@crEEpyvEE]

I agree Sol was the best part of the show 😢

[@joeydunno]

Sol and the villain are rhe best things about the show in my opinion, also i really believe they just took galaxys edge sabers and just mix and matched them and let the actors figure it out 😂

[@SixerMason]

I couldn't help but notice how the Acolyte sabers are all so flashlight thick. It looked super odd.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

That’s how Disney makes them so they can just pop them in the parks without needing to redesign them.

[@Justin.Danford]

I dont know why they are thick AF but can only guess they mean to convey the technology isnt as honed yet, which is a nice idea, but totally doesnt understand how long lightsabers have been around

[@agentjtravel_walkthru4205]

Great video homie!!!! Bro I am not getting your notification! KZbin sucks!!

[@orlanskimer]

covertec wheel AND belt clip? Meh. If you remove the heat bloom, it looks mid af.

[@bensloan8830]

I think another reason for the thickness is to represent the technology advances that lightsabers take over the years. I don't agree with it because like you said, the main reason seems to be so they can directly translate it to the Galaxy's edge shops for people to purchase, but I still want to believe there is some hope left

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Well, if you watch the Ahsoka show, just take a look at the size of young Ahsoka lightsaber. It’s also HUGE. So I don’t think it has anything to do with tech advancement. I don’t understand the over sized designs beside the park.

[@_TheCreativeTurtle_]

I disagree because there’s other High Republic lightsaber hilts that are thinner and more stylish, just like the hilts presented in the 3 trilogies or series, the ones presented in The Acolyte are literally some Savi’s Workshop’s lightsabers

[@bensloan8830]

@@TheCollectorsOutpost completely true. Good point. This is why I love watching these!

[@bensloan8830]

@@_TheCreativeTurtle_ Such a valid point, this is why this community is great. Such a shame Disney is trying to divide us

[@_TheCreativeTurtle_]

@@bensloan8830 I don’t think is Disney the one that’s dividing the fandom, it’s that small group of “fans” that gets mad with things that they don’t like and start to being so noisy about that, Star Wars is a huge universe with lot of things for explore, but some people thinks that universe must be like it is in their heads There’s fans that can like or dislike stuff, but they also respect the opinion of each others without making drama about that, but there’s also the small “fans” group that loves to make drama if someone likes the things they hate or tag something as “woke” because is not molded to their thoughts, and prefer attack others instead being open for discussion

[@Haunted_Fish]

Thankfully the model doesn’t have obesity like in the show I mean embarrassment

[@bl3343]

The reason the grip doesn't have windows is because "you'll burn your hands off kid".

[@shinnasuka1005]

I like that hilt buddy. However, I am along with the whole community do not like where lucasfilm has been taking this series towards. I feel sorry for several actors and actresses who have no idea what kind of backlash that's coming to them even though its not their fault. Its the writers and directors who are doing it. They are not willing to learn the ways of the force.

[@StillSaber]

"An episode of Charmed" 🤣🤣🤣🤣, Yeah I enjoyed episodes 1, 2, and 4 of the Acolyte, episode 3 not so much because it confused me and felt a little cringy.

[@xXSCAR117Xx]

Personally I haven’t liked any of the saber hilts from this show. This one just looks too smooth and basic.

[@Alexander492-w5g]

It went from "app connected" to "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

[@PatriotJedi]

Getting a disney saber from the lowest rated and most divisive show that's actively attacking fans and killing what's left of Star Wars is insane to me.

[@JediMaster777]

All the lightsabers on the show look like exhaust tubes from sports cars. That’s not really a compliment.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Agreed. That’s why I’m glad these are not that size haha. But no fear cuz I’m sure Disney will put out huge ones! lol

[@poloralphfloweren]

Wow, master Sol….. 🤦‍♂️

[@NebLleb]

It's indicative of The Acolyte's quality when even the Saber Hilts are screwed up. What? I decided not to bother because the show looked like a shitty hatefiction written by pretentious fart-sniffing hippies.

[@markballard325]

Please tell me you don't actually like that hot garbage of a show. It's political trash that's trying to change the origin of the force.

[@jasxnuwu4539]

Starwars has always been political

Shut up

The prequels are all about politics, and the OT had a lot of inspiration on real world political events at the time

[@costco482]

I do not like it. I t looks like a pipe that was cut or trashed. the actor seems to be over emotional. I understand he's a Korean actor trained. The jury is still out on him.
