Master & Apprentice: Star Wars - Custom Lightsabers | Rooster Teeth

[@AccountLauri]

Wow, this is a show with a big potential.

[@Icesolate]

Lol this isn't the only thing that Rooster Teeth does

[@AccountLauri]

312vandal Well that doesn't mean that every of their show would succeed. The making/diy community is getting more and more bigger so they're are definitely trying to catch a trend here. Plus the production value is amazing, most of diy videos isn't that well produced. That means besides the 9 million subscribes they have this show has a potential to crab audience outside of their normal viewers.

[@waltonvelvet]

I know. It is..................

[@Scottsdaleofficesteve]

I like the scalability of this show. This is definitely the kinda show that should branch out and capture non RT users/subscribers attention

[@WhiteNN3rdy]

I guess you could say it's got... high voltage. Okay, I'll see myself out.

[@squirecinemas1664]

I thought for sure that the beard guy was the master

[@zakiaw4963]

Yeah right?I was surprised

[@whitehaddockschannel9220]

Zaki Aw don’t forget the fact that the lightsaber he had originally was $250

[@LiamsClan]

WHY?

[@MrChuck2630]

Almost like Skywalker not knowing who Yoda was on first impression.

[@marktasico]

Great series, would love to see longer episodes making a full suit.

[@ReallyWemja]

Something more in the direction of the TESTED one day builds. This quick spotlight is nice but a more in depth thing would be great. They are making is anyway so just recoding some more dialog will barely take up more time. The extra parts don't need fancy overlays or animations, just someone who knows what he is doing explaining things to an apprentice.

Well when you can buy a very good basis for it why not?

[@wildfilms365]

They got Ultrusabers and they probably got the cheap ones that are 60 bucks. it's not that bad.

[@MrMoltenlava]

Yeah but boring

[@theonlycatonice]

Well you could proabably use strip leds inside of a trasparent opaque tube of somesort that's hooked up to a switch and battery if you want to make your own. It all depends on your budget imo

[@darklordofsword]

theonlycatonice Unless you get pricy versions, LED string ades have a tendency to burn out and leave dead spots in the light. The majority of the duel-ready hilts use a set of 3 or more colored LEDs in the hilt.

[@AshyGirl]

I absolutely love the positive attitude of this show. I often struggle with inspiration and comparing myself to others that have a lot more experience with crafting, and will end up scrapping a project because I think I can't do it. The whole episode was great, but I loved Marcus's little tips on how to be creative and fix mistakes, so I can still make something I'll be happy with.

[@AMarshmallowPie]

Bruh this whole series is awesome! It is like a blacksmith master and apprentice show I watch, but for the more crafts/fabrication minded people! The whole dynamic between them is cool too. Love it.

[@MrCrazyChemist]

wat's the blacksmithing show called? sounds cool

[@AMarshmallowPie]

+The Creative Chemist The blacksmithing series is not exactly like this, but the premise is similar. The blacksmithing show I watch is on the History Channel, and it is called Forged in Fire. I am not sure when it starts back up, but it usually airs on Tuesdays, I think it was. They have three rounds, usually four contestants, and they compete to forge a weapon in 3 or 4 hours, depending on the difficulty of the weapon or circumstance/building material, which is randomized, along with the building technique, then one will be eliminated, then they move on to the second round. In this round, they can fix any mistakes on the blade, and they have 3 hours to put a handle on, sharpen, and basically fit and finish the knife. After this round, the three contestants watch the judges test their knives in several tests, testing blade strength, sharpness, and edge retention. One will be eliminated, and the other two move on to round three, where they are given an historical weapon they must forge, in 5 days, at their home forge, and then they return and test the weapon. The specific episode I was referencing the show for in relation to this series, Master and Apprentice, was an episode where they had "tagteams" of a master blacksmith and his apprentice. The rounds worked the same, but every 30 minutes, the master would pass the work on the the apprentice, and they'd rotate. It is an excellent show, and the judges are pretty funny. I hope you enjoy it, if you find it. It is usually On Demand for most services, but I am not sure where you are or if it will be available. I hope it is, because it is good.

[@Wookie_oo7]

@@AMarshmallowPie That is nothing like this. You got me interested in a new youtube channel, instead you are talking about an american drama competition that doesnt have anything about a master instructing an apprentice in it.

[@brekkoh]

Amazing ending

[@Adam-yu1dv]

I agree

[@planterion7969]

Man At Arms = MAA Master And Apprentice = MAA Illuminati confirmed

[@My6119]

Lmao only difference is that im new to the channel and I dont know if they do blacksmithing work

[@TheWatchfuleye1]

It would actually be Man At Arms: MAA, and Master and Apprentice :MA because words like "and, on, of, and the" aren't represented in acronyms

[@BlackBlood297]

"Hail Hydra"

Dude they look so badass also i wana see them make the Retro Lancer from Gears of War 3

[@Zakara675]

or just the normal lancer, either way having the blade splattered with blood would be awesome

[@joelstevens5061]

No not 3 gears 1

[@asesemke2232]

YES SO MUCH OF THE YES

[@hav6261]

Yess please! I know some people made them in the nerf gun community a couple of years ago

[@troytompilla]

i want to know what plastic model kit they are using if any one know can you pleas tell me

[@TheDragonaf1]

If only i could afford an ultrasaber to start this process with....

[@Solarstar10]

TheDragonaf1 I know right? I was kinda laughing at the fact they were calling it an 'off the shelf lightsaber', as if it's some cheap thing you can get at your local toystore. That couldn't be further from the truth.

[@bubblegum6138]

Sabertrio and Wonderforce are high quality saber’s for more affordable prices, way better than Ultrasabers or Saberforge

[@NinjaTyler]

Solarstar10 the one they used is under 100$ so a bit pricier then the kid ones but not overly expensive if you want a good saber base, you can do this process with any saber but best results go with the basic sabers on fan sites

[@harbingerdawn]

@Solarstar10 They're actually cheaper than the nice ones you can get at the store, those are $150 compared to the $80 or so for the ones they used here. As far as "working" metal sabers go, these are as cheap as it gets.

[@Thatguy-hl9on]

You can get hilts only for like $30

[@Jpizzle011]

Such a cool show I wish it was more popular

[@hav6261]

Yeah it needs more views.

[@WilliamWaiteProductions]

This feels like a television show, it feels so professional compared to other RoosterTeeth productions.

[@EvilDuckOfDoom]

3:50 Gavin made a cameo in this video :O

[@nofacedgoldfish6216]

Lol

[@darthqrow4582]

The force is strong with this one.

[@Da5thSith]

I like the way u took the Ultrasabers & added ya own style to them which is truly brilliant

[@GoneAwayproductions]

At first it started off like "okay so you have your store bought sabers" and im like okay I could do this then it just goes to "and now you have a fully built lightsbaber"

[@Brofessor__Oak]

This is my favorite series ever. I have always wanted to be able to do stuff of this level but have always been afraid because I don't know where to start with most of my ideas. You guys give me confidence in myself with a project like this. One thing I wish you guys would do is maybe do projects with stuff that a lot of people have. Not everybody has a bandsaw or all the gadgets you have at your disposal, so a nice at home workaround would be really appreciated

[@Blaybay123]

I'm not saying I will try to do it but ... I will try to make my own

[@AMarshmallowPie]

It is not as hard as it seems, to make a decent one. One that they make though, is pretty high quality stuff. I made a good one out of an old 90's vacuum cleaner steel nozzle. It was really nice. With some electrical or hockey tape, some sort of metal tube or pvc pipe, some paint, maybe some hose clamps, and some time, you can make a pretty cool one.

[@Armageddon-yt3so]

same. I'm looking to make one of my own once I've got all the tools and materials to use. I've already salvaged some parts form some old broken phones and a laptop

[@AMarshmallowPie]

Nice!

[@helixviper5782]

Do or did not, there is no try.

[@DTKloves8]

Kit bashing's the hardest part for me. It's surprisingly difficult to find model stores that sell individual sheets of parts, at least where I live.

[@hannahkilbourn5213]

Rooster Teeth, thank you for this series, this is so helpful! As someone who is doing film at uni, and not having the option of a module focused completely on set design, and art design and props, this is so helpful. It actually gives me hope that I can do something like this in the film world.

[@jedimastersnake]

For anyone who’s curious, they used the AEON V3 from Ultrasabers

[@macncheesus6221]

IanScrub thx I was thinking how it looks like it’s from ultrasabers

[@HollowKid]

Easily the most encouraging "build your own lightsaber" video out there. AND it's nice to know I don't have to drop a hefty chunk of change to have a cool looking/custom saber.

[@_mementox]

7:37 I instantly thought of "Tis but a scratch"

[@Iskelderon]

I just love the humor of using a piece from a Star Wars scale model ship at a kitbash part on a lightsaber!

[@Orion12113]

Always two there are, a master, and an apprentice

[@jilliejellyjam]

I comment approximately once every ten years but I gotta come out of the woodworks to say that, damn, this show is awesome. Everything Marcus does in the company is an absolute treat, and seeing him work with someone who is less experienced but still creates a great result is inspiring to witness.

[@zacharylain8068]

I was just watching theories on lightsabers and I saw this and almost died

[@rtji0]

I was watching random Star Wars videos and got the notification. What a coincidence!

[@MattMGK]

Why did you almost die?

[@AydanM]

Honestly just watching you guys make a lightsaber is so cool; if you ever run out of ideas for builds make a part two with two more lightsabers (one dark one light)

[@Jcurtisjr1506]

We’re gonna build light-sabres!! Step 1: go buy a light sabre! 😂😂

[@fonzgaming2891]

One of the better shows Rooster Teeth has done in a while. Keep it up longer episodes.

[@Jeff-ly7yk]

They should revisit this craft making more custom lightsabers. I’m interested in what else they could use

[@Gshawn9]

I love how these guys are making a custom lightsaber and their so chill

[@tsonny1104]

yup this series is already sick

[@MakerMaddox]

Adam's saber is AMAZING! Love the detailing and the copper sealed. That's my fave but they were both spectacular!

[@101shapshifter]

i made my own lightsaber out of a sink drain.

[@ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety]

That was freaking incredible! Making it look so easy. That’s good skill from both sides. Well done.

[@axscend9147]

Video: The next step is going to be kit bashing. Caption: *kid bashing*

[@xRoxii]

This is the content I like from RT. Simple and i feel like they genuinely like it and that adds to it.

[@MrNeedleMau5]

I'm angry these don't get more views

[@calebangell77]

dfriesen it doesn't help that this video was uploaded 20 minutes ago.

[@MrSlosh]

More of this series!!! Doesn't matter what, I just love every one.

[@DennisVlaanderen]

7:40 missed the obvious Monty Python reference that could be made. Not gonna lie, builds look good, but kinda disappointed you didn't make the "flesh wound" joke.

[@Xethos38]

[@willherondale6367]

5:51 Hi Gavin!

[@xplayman]

Only episode I've seen of this show and I love it. I like watching other crafts from people like Adam Savage on Tested, but that's appealing to watch. This looks approachable like I can do this too.

[@Brendan1259]

Well I would like to see a RWBY inspired build, maybe a custom weapon of your own design

[@MangaCrazy101]

[@agent_8167]

yassssssssssss!!

[@roxy_offline9980]

Oh.... Mah.... Gawd. Yes

[@nukenarwhal7244]

You're missing the entire point of the show and they already have models lying around the office. Stop suggesting this, just look up master and arms, they made RWBY weapons out of actual steel.

[@glorysky1998]

Nuke Narwhal I know the channel master and arms. But it would be cool if they made one that isn't so popular, like Jaune's or Rens weapon

last week Marcus did something bad. . . and he would like to say he's sorry 😂😂

[@caje41]

This is the first episode of this series I've watched and it was really cool. Not sure why I wasn't that interested before but I definitely want to check out the other ones since this was so fun to watch. Those lightsaber designs were great!

[@noraye2500]

7:37 And that is exactly why non-Force users should never fight with a lightsaber. XD

[@DontpushtheBbutton]

You don't NEED to be a Force user to be able to wield a lightsaber (it helps of course). He just lacks the combat skills, which makes a lightsaber extremely dangerous to himself.

[@noraye2500]

No, you don't NEED the Force to pick it up and swing it around, but a non-Force user is just asking to get hurt if trying to use a lightsaber without training. And even then, they'll never master the weapon and be able to to use it to its fullest potential without the Force to help lower the negative aspects of the lightsaber. Having a sword that can cut through almost anything from any angle with little to no resistance is not something normal people should be swinging around, in all seriousness. Also with a weightless blade, you can't physically feel were the blade is, so one wrong move and you can lop off your own body parts. But with the Force, you don't need your physical senses to know what's going on around you.

[@DontpushtheBbutton]

Aaron Sikes ok

[@noraye2500]

okay

[@showtime5910]

[@pooldad]

Does anyone know where they got those metal lightsaber hilts they worked from?

[@pikaso4519]

pooldad Ultrasabers

[@pooldad]

thanks!

[@cmrobbins88]

pooldad I’d say Ultra Sabers or Vader’s Vault.

[@AMarshmallowPie]

This is an alternative to buying one, just in case you can't afford those. I couldn't afford them, so I had to improvise. You can get one from there, and they are pretty cool. A friend of mine found an old 90's vacuum cleaner steel nozzle for the hose, and I made a pretty decent one from that, and some hardware stuff laying around my house, like electrical tape, some plastic bits that were already on the nozzle, and two hose clamps that go on car hoses. Anything cylindrical can be used, really.

[@SomeRandomJackAss]

If you want to build your own base from scratch, The Custom Saber Shop is a good resource, though it may end up being a bit more complicated to end up with a fully working lightsaber. If you really don't care what the base lightsaber initially looks like, Ultrasabers has a mystery box option and a grab bag option, both of which give you a random metal hilt for around $70-$80 USD + shipping.

[@FiggityJones]

that end bit was hilarious as well, I cant wait for more of this series

[@JBarrett027]

Can you guys build a BFG from Doom?

[@BlackStar-oh9lp]

i want to know what plastic model kit they are using if any one know can you pleas tell me

[@MaskMan191]

@@troytompilla They just use whatever model kits they have laying around. Kitbashing is taking bits and pieces of random kits to make something that the pieces wouldn't make out of the box.

For those wondering, Those original lightsabers they built off of are high quality Ultrasaber. You can find them here www.ultrasabers.com

[@michaelgavinm5503]

That is my only complaint about this video, is them not calling out that they used Ultrasabers as the base and instead just referred to them as off-the-shelf lightsabers.

[@mattmcknight7433]

Joseph I Sanchez Cool i just got one like that and might do something like what they're doing

Michael Gavin M I think them not specifically naming the brand name was on purpose. That way who ever was watching, had to be creative and find their own “off the shelf saber” from where ever they chose and not just copy off of them.

I think I like the Jedi one a scooch more but not NEARLY by as much as I should cause I'm light side through and through. Seriously, I want the Jedi one for myself but the other one... Damn you dark side for being so cool!

[@RosemarieCatSarahR]

Howdy guys! I am in the process of constructing my own lightsaber but a bit differently than you guys. The one thing I think for people adept in the ways of the Force to learn how to constuct a hilt is to learn the 'cram-fu' properly. It's the concept of necessary space to put the guts of the electronic board, wiring, lights, heatsink, and if they want to: a soundboard. I'm incredibly pleased on how both of yours' turned out: But who's the master and who's the apprentice? Lol. Also, a wonderful way to say farewell would have been: "The Force will be with you- always." And it will! Thanks for making my weekend a little brighter. How terribly ironic was it that I was going to continue the construction this weekend anyways, and you guys uploaded? I think this is a good sign.

[@leahsdreams]

Also possibly revisit the saber later on but show how to build it completely from scratch if possible.
