My $5000 OBI-WAN KENOBI Lightsaber UNBOXING Master Replicas ULTRA RARE

www.theorysabe...
INDEPENDENCE DAY 66 HAT - teespring.com/...
Here is my new Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber from Master Replicas made in 2003 when George Lucas still owned Star Wars. This is the original trilogy obi-wan Kenobi lightsaber that he fights Darth Vader with aboard the death star. This is the same lightsaber from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, however just battle damaged and weathered. I'm lucky to add this one to my collection, and with such a low number too!
Thanks for watching my unboxing and I hope you'll stay tuned for the Anakin Skywalker episode 2 Attack of the Clones lightsaber unboxing video coming next week.
See you all in the Kenobi episode 5 watch party and breakdown vids!

Master Replicas was the best, hands down. I still use my Luke Skywalker's Force FX lightsaber, which I bought back in 2004. The quality is still amazing to this day. I really hope to get my hands on Obi-Wan's new Force FX lightsaber, but I think Master Replicas version would be much better.

[@ultimagaming6035]

I have the Darth Vader Force FX. As far as detail, it pretty much 1-1. But certainly the FX lightsabers are not the kind you want to go swinging around with your buddy, to make duel video with. Yea sure they can take a few blocks but they are not as durable as some of the more recent builds. I had 3 Ultra sabers, and those are just awesome all around.

[@bobaketthepartyfett3405]

I got the obi-wan master replicas one when I was a kid for my birthday, but the soundbox went out on it really quickly, and I returned it to the store. They didn't have any more obi-wan sabers though, so I had to trade it for a yoda one (which I still have). I have always missed my obi-wan saber :')

[@jaaaaaaaaw]

@@bobaketthepartyfett3405 Closest to the real thing for Anakin rots would be from 7chambers. Although apparantly sp sabers are going to be doing one too called the low ground which should be just as accurate. Just be warned these come empty so you'd also need to get them sent off to be installed. Cost a lot of money all together but they are more accurate.

Being a nerd is an expensive endeavor lol.

[@arctique_saberfonts]

Check LANDO SABERS youtube channel out, watch his videos, especially his saber video for beginners. This 5000 USD saber SW Theory is only worth that price because it's an official prop; other than that, it ain't even 99% accurate to the original ANH prop. Please check Reddit, Facebook and KZbin and blogs and TRPF to know everything before buying.

5000$! That lightsaber better cut through concrete.

[@graysonderp5902]

At the end, you talked about shelves. If you were to turn those cabinets into shelves, you could paint them a matte black with spray painting white stars on it. There are tutorials on how to make stars with spray paint and it looks pretty nice. then you could get a deep blue or violet led strip for back lighting on the sabers. BTW Obi-Wan's saber is my favorite. Idk if its just bias because Obi-Wan is my favorite character or not. Beautiful prop tho.

[@StereoFozzie]

The synopsis was interesting. Obi-Wan as I understand it wasn’t a master in episode 2, he was given the rank when Anakin reached Jedi Knight between 2 and 3. So in 2003, this was right for prequel Kenobi to that point. But incorrect against what we know of OT Kenobi in 4-6. I can kind of forgive it, but you do expect the attention to detail to extend to the synopsis.

[@bobaketthepartyfett3405]

To be fair though all obi wan says in a new hope is "I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father" i don't think he was called master until rots

[@bobaketthepartyfett3405]

@@Ulvmannsskjebne no he became a jedi Knight when he beat maul. Usually a padawan must pass the trials to become a knight but because he was the only jedi to defeat a sith in 1000 years he didn't have to.

[@The_D0C70R]

@@Ulvmannsskjebne That's not right, defeating Maul got him promoted from Padawan to Knight. His promotion to Master happened after ATOC, and is marked by his final lightsaber design. The lightsaber he used in TPM and the copy of it he used in ATOC was the design he had until his promotion to Master, at that point he made his final design as it was customary for Jedi to create a new lightsaber upon achieving the rank of Jedi Master.

[@marajade52]

The "finned" piece in front of the pommel, before the graflex band is the rear portion of a aircraft machine gun from WW2. The emitter is from a Rolls-Royce jet engine. The IG-88 head is part of the same aircraft engine.

That's an incredible find. Hopefully you can get a ROTS version. Jedi Knight is a rank in the Order, yes. But Jedi Knight is also just a generic term for Jedi throughout the Galaxy. Note TPM Anakin asks Qui-Gon "You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?" Qui-Gon doesn't go "No, I'm a Jedi Master"

[@CarterHopkins93]

I was able to build a real parts replica of it. It is easily one of the coolest things you are ever able to hold. For those wondering what the parts are: Pommel: Armitage Shanks Sink Knob Black fins under the control box: Browning .303 flash hider, specifically found on spitfires control box: A bunch of pieces including a graflex clamp (the same kind, not similar to, used on Lukes Lightsaber, which was a full Graflex camera flash) a bubble strip from a TI calculator, and transistors The actual handle and the brass thin neck: A Hales Mk3 No 1 rifle grenade, shot off the end of a rifle into trenches during WW1, not thrown. Emitter: A Rolls Royce Derwent Mk 9 balance pipe. It helped regulate pressure in the 9 combustion chambers for the jet engine and sat in the piece that actually made both the lamp shades in the Cantina and IG88's head. Overall cost to build one today: Around $15,000. When I built mine around 4 years ago, it was closer to what your MR cost.

[@adam72788]

Master Replicas actually made 2 versions of this lightsaber. They made this one which is the "Weathered" version and then they made a pristine version called "AFBB - As First Built By" which was not seen in any films. The "AFBB" was the lowest run of any lightsabers they made with an edition size of 500. I actually have this lightsaber you're reviewing. I got mine factory new and it's number 2/2500! The clear plastic piece you see is actually the plaque holder. Master Replicas used this style of plaque holder along with the earlier type of display cases in their early runs, and then switched over to the newer style of plaque, plaque holder, and display case in mid-2003. The previous owner of your lightsaber put the plaque on the newer style of plaque holder they probably got second hand, and kept the original acrylic plaque holder wrapped up. I was also fortunate enough to pick up a sealed factory new Master Replicas Mace Windu Episode II Signature Edition lightsaber. I haven't opened it and probably won't until I have a Star Wars room. You can never have enough in your collection haha! By the way, I hope you didn't actually pay $5000 for that man, that's extremely over priced! Great video though!

[@tieleader7238]

Congrats on the new addition ! I was lucky enough to be able to get all the MR sabers and blasters back when they were still in that 300-500 dollar range including a number of the signature ones. The NH version is by far the most distinctive one and just oozes character by virtual of being battered and showing the hard life of a jedi's weapon over the decades. It really mirrors it's owner at that point in his life. Luke's ROTJ V2 version is also a bit beaten but not to the same level of detailing. Mostly cosmetic. SPOILER : Yoda's clone saber is REALLY not wore . Just a few scrapes but I guess MR just wanted something from the movie for him. Maul's battle damaged piece is pretty cool because it has the crystal in the end of the hilt. If you're going for the really rare one look for the As First Built Kenobi saber. It had a production run of only 500 worldwide and is the holy grail of these MR props (hand weapons any ways). I managed to get my hands on # 466 (before anyone asks NO I'm never selling mine). It's just as the name says , all pretty shiny. So a great "before" piece for comparison. Lastly, I would recommend that if you are going to continue collecting these, as I suspect you are, invest in a dedicated glass shelving setup to display them properly side-by-side on multiple levels to show off these incredible works of craftsmanship. Make sure it's heavy tempered glass and four(or more!) screw shelf brackets to support the weight ! Only had to make that mistake once with the Gentle Giant busts... Best of luck in getting the rest of these works of art.
