Is the NEW Luke Skywalker Force FX Elite Lightsaber Worth the Money?

[@doc6084]

SOUND FIX FOR THE BELT: I put a VERY slip strip of black electric tape around each of the sides belt clip right where they make contact with metal on the hilt, definitely quiets it quite a lot and it’s unnoticeable, if you do notice it doesn’t look out of place at all with the rest of the hilt as it matches the color pallet. Hope this helps!!

[@Jedindy]

Thanks!

[@captainmartin1219]

Man would have loved something like this when I was a kid.

[@FindingTheForce]

Tell me about it!! 😆

[@hypermoose5794]

I really hope they come out with a Anakins elite lightsaber. I’m thinking in the new Ashoka show they will have flash backs of Anakin and Ashoka and hopefully Hasbro will release a new version of his lightsaber.

[@MrWord283]

im fucking ready to buy that one

[@FindingTheForce]

Me too actually, I’m really curious what they would whip up. Although I have a feeling it would probably be bigger than we would hope.

[@Paul_of_House_Starkiller]

For sure flashbacks with Hayden. If they show ahsoka talking to anakin as a force ghost I’m gonna cry 🥲

[@jamma.77]

Oh god, yes, me too! It's my favourite hilt behind Obi-Wan's, and I couldn't get the old FX one anywhere for a sane price.

[@captainanakinsparrow4608]

Not gonna lie, even though I love Anakin's lightsaber and he's my favorite character, I don't want it to be announced because I just bought the Anakin legacy saber not even a week ago

[@tbatrics]

I have really loved my galaxies edge version of this saber, except for the lack of smooth swing that my RGB has spoiled me with. I like the Hasbro's overall, but I'm pretty sold on a Vader neopixel as my next saber purchase.

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey TB! I know exactly how you feel. Galaxy’s Edge was our first Saber of Cores, and even though I love them, these Neopixels are so much more fun. 🤯😆

[@superwalter5697]

About the sound of Luke's saber, it was based on the Mandalorian, Book of Boba and the Sequels, so it has the same sound as Obi Wan.

I used to buy the FX Elite sabers preordered, but now I’m waiting for discounts. They’re not bad, and I don’t need things like neopixel since mine are on display, but it is disappointing to see a nearly $300 saber continue to have similar flaws.

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey Z! I totally hear what you’re saying, waiting for discounts is super smart. 👍🏻

[@Starkiller09]

Neo sabers is running an Easter sale, I got a 600 dollar saber for 300. Sometimes it is worth waiting around.

[@TacoTuesday555]

I’ll be honest, I might be alone here, but I actually really like the loose tri-ring. I do have a soft spot for miscellaneous sounds and clanking of weapons and armor, etc. cowboy spurs clicking, metal armor clanking, a sword being unsheathed. So I like the sound and feel of lightsabers rings swinging.

[@Silly_fella]

Personally I really enjoy this saber. Mine has excellent swing and for a display piece it’s beautiful and surprisingly the swing on mine has been very smooth, not like neopixel sabers but it’s very good!

[@FindingTheForce]

Absolutely! So happy to hear that. I think I did mention that the swing sounds greatly have improved with a lot less unexpected clashes. Thanks for watching.

[@georgemells2354]

I think the complaint that the sounds are too much the same is a bit of base. In canon all the sabers except maybe for the "Dark Blade" use the same tech so there is no reason why they should sound different. I suppose since the choice of kyber crystal control the color of the blade it might also modify some sounds like the activation but the others are based on the physics of the design.

[@tommy4332]

personally for me the only sound that really mattered was the ignition and i for sure thought they wouldn’t add the right one

I have a third-party saber that I play around with and two official sabers for display. Have been waiting so long for Luke's saber since it's my favourite as well 🥰

[@FindingTheForce]

Awesome!! I love meeting other Luke saber fans. I have so many others that I love but it was my first gut reaction was that I love the look of it. Obi-Wan is an extremely close second and sometimes I second-guessed myself on days. Ha ha.

[@RaidenSanoGaming]

@@FindingTheForce Seeing the green blade ignite as a kid impressed me, then the handle stood out compared to Anakin's and I was hooked. Took a couple of years to put two-and-two together and learn that Luke used Obi-Wan's design 😅

[@RaidenSanoGaming]

In my haste yesterday I forgot to add my opinion on the mouse. I agree about the quality versus the price tag, one of the biggest companies in the world and they can't make as reliable products as smaller companies can 🤔 By going up 15-25% in quality the sabers would be more consistent and less returns would be needed, also more fans would be prone to buy from them too. Therefore a little more in production cost would result in a bigger revenue 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@trippinwolf9592]

Fixing the loose belt triangle. Cut a skinny strip of a pop can. Bend it round. And slide it into the housing. Then carefully cut off excess with an exacto knife. Gives a snug fit

[@FindingTheForce]

Well, I’ve never heard of that before. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@FindingTheForce]

Do you think the Luke Force FX Elite is worth the higher price of $280?

[@TheRealVodun13]

I just discovered your channel and I'm quite hooked already. Been watching lots of your videos and they are very nice. Seriously, I never get tired of that iconic ignition sound, it is the best one!

[@BytesBeatsLEDs]

bro same

[@dustinsmith608]

depending on the site you go to and if your not wanting a replica style saber. you can find sabers with xenopixle boards and neopixle blades for about $280 or a bit less. I have a few replica sabers and do love them for the look but I love my xenopixle saber and being that it is not a replica I feel like its even more special to me. kinda like it was mine. it has some features of different replica sabers. but I ended up putting a leather wrap on the grip as it was just a plain grip with nothing on it. but to me thats kinda what made it mine.

[@MariusLaru]

Just do what I did - remove the triangle(gotta bend it apart), take some heavy duty flat-nose pliers and slightly bend each of the tips that go into the holes. You only need to bend the tips ever so slightly. Now wrestle it back into the holes by taking some large vice grips(the pliers that have the screw that adjusts the width) and crimp it back together. You're Welcome.

[@mr.graves2867]

I can help with the hoop, all you need to do is get a pair of plyers and just squeeze it a little, not a lot of pressure, but it should stiffen it to where its more workable. Looks pretty awesome though, Luke's was always my favorite as well, I don't own a lightsaber as of yet, but I would like to get this one. Keep it up dude 👌

[@aziel123]

If you're delicate you could maybe solder the belt clip in place so it doesn't move.

[@FindingTheForce]

Great idea bud, I didn't think of that.

[@SigTheSauceMan]

The Saberforge Prodigal Son had literally every official ROTJ Luke saber beat by a mile as long as 8 years ago. And now, for around $400 you can get a Xenopixel or Proffieboard Luke Skywalker saber that's louder, brighter, and more accurate than *anything* Disney will *ever* make.

[@arcturionblade1077]

I have a tricked out SF Prodigal Son and it's a decent hilt. The flaws of it are that it's overly big/long so it's not quite accurate to the true length and proportions of the ROTJ Luke saber. The control box also doesn't have the screen accurate flashing LED lights (like in the deleted scene) but I had the customizer (where I purchased it from) replace the control box with a brand new one with the lights. I also own the VadersVault Hero Gen2 and it's definitely a step above the SF Prodigal Son with better fit and finish, and the smaller/shorter proportions that's more accurate to the movie prop. I hear Korbanth makes a great Luke saber too with gullwing doors for the crystal chamber reveal (I never found it necessary to get the crystal chamber gimmick myself). The Hero is a display piece while the PS is my cosplay saber (loved wearing it to the Roppongi night clubs during Halloween).

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey Andrew, thanks for the update. I have not been to that site in a long time because a neopixel Saber at a minimum was like $800. I’ll have to go back and check them out, thank you so much for watching.

[@SigTheSauceMan]

@@FindingTheForce You're welcome. Also, note that the Prodigal Son I purchased at the time (~8 years ago) was a Champion-tier (which at the time had only a single soundfont and extremely basic options). The Prodigal Son has since been updated to be more accurate than before, with the correct chrome finishing (compared to the v1's brushed finish) with lights on the control box, as well as new thread-in pixel blades, which compensate for think-necked sabers inferior base-lit and blade retention capabilities. 8 years ago, a pixel saber from them would run $750 + hilt cost. Now a Hero Pixel version costs quite a bit less, and has infinitely more options, with the ability to add new soundfonts.

[@Alexfoxxrox]

I bought the custom sabre luke lightsaber and its awesome. It fits the 1 inch poly blades and its polished aluminum with really smooth motion detection like even better than the sabneo ones. The only thing thats better about that one you have is that its neopixel. Seems like most of the production cost went towards that. Wish I could post a demo of it in comments

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Bloody excellent review of an awesome lightsabre! Like you, I have a soft spot for Luke’s Return of the Jedi lightsabre! (Happy 40th Birthday to Return of the Jedi!) Pity the swing sounds are the same as any other Force FX sabre made by Hasbro; typical, conventional sounds notwithstanding, I just may purchase this sabre using that Amazon link you have provided! It’s exceptional. Slightly off topic, but would you happen to know of any good lightsabre wall mounts? I noticed your lovely display of lightsabres [mounted on the wall] in the background, and was wondering what you’d recommend this old doctor. I am in need of some quality ones; the ones I have at the moment are rather old and out of date. (I am also aware of the fact that some wall mounts gripping the blade can cause said blade to crack over time.) Thank you, Obi-Dad Kenobi! Take care, Giovanni Marino, M.D.

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey Giovanni, thank you again for another thoughtful comment. Yes, I finally decided on these wall mounts to complement my vertical. Saber stands on my shelves. I found them on eBay and they were fairly inexpensive. If you have trouble finding them leave me another comment. 😆👍🏻

[@jedimastergarcia87]

Yeah I miss back when they still had the removable blade force fxs they each had their own unique sounds x.x Still kills me that I didn't get Luke's blue removable blade fx though back in Denver Comic Con x.x I do notice though the neck is a bit thinner on this version compared to the original Jedi Luke lightsabers though for sure

You must be talking about the master replicas? I am super curious, I did not know they had their own set different sounds!

@@FindingTheForce No it was Hasbro, I'll post another video of my removable blade Obi-wan fx lightsaber soon, that one did have more of an ep3 kinda sound going on too =] Fun fact, the neck was already kinda painted like the series version so I may weather it at some point too :P

[@chalion8399]

Well, I'm still an Obi-Wan hilt devotee from ANH. Hasbro has enough of my money, so I'll stay with the hilts I purchased from (BLANK). Yes, I pay extra for overseas shipping, but usually get those hilts in 2 weeks. Still waiting on my Count Dooku V3 from Korbanth. Heard they may have some shipping this week, so I have some hope.

4:58 I got the regular force fx Luke saber and it has the same rattling noise, so I fixed it by just putting a small bit of sticky tac to pin it to the hilt. It probably won’t be ideal if you want it as a display piece, but it works perfectly if you mainly uses it for spinning around.

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey Freddy, thank you so much for that. I thought a product like that might exist, but did not know the name of it. I will look it up. Thank you.

Honestly, the price is even less daunting if you purchase direct from the companies that the US resellers buy from. You can get a TGX ROTJ Luke with Proffie where the model work was done by Halliwax of the Replica Prop Forum, for like, $250. That's _less_ than the official ones, is more accurate AND a Proffie.

[@sugarcrits9322]

Stiffen up the clip by pulling it off and wrapping the ends in plumbers tape. The same kind you would use to install a new shower head. It’s super thin and will create as much or as little friction as you like. Trim it down so it’s not visible. Works well to stiffen up joints on older action figures too. 👍

[@GeorgeSmith-ze5vk]

Put mop and glow in the belt clip and move it back and forth and it will tighten up… I use the same method in loose figure joints

[@FindingTheForce]

I haven't heard that one before.. thanks George!

[@BrandonPenson]

GREAT video, Obi-Dad Kenobi! I saw the short you did on the new Force FX, and I already have this one pre-ordered. But I didn't know about the inaccuracies. I know I said I wanted something that I could afford, but I also want something that's ACCURATE to Luke's ROTJ lightsaber. Even if it means spending a few extra bucks. So is Artsabers good? 🤔

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey Brandon, thank you so much for the compliment. I really appreciate it. I have only dealt with Artsabers over the last two years and just started working with one other company. You may want to wait for my review, but I really do like the Luke saber I mentioned in the video. The only downside is that the lights on the activation box do not light up. But having the second emitter that is extended for more blade depth is a huge plus in my book.

[@vilderiss5568]

I'm thinking of buying this epic lightsaber but i wonder if the blade breaks easily?

[@johnbest1978]

I was thinking about picking this up for my first lightsaber. My favorite hilts are Luke's from ROTJ and Ben Kenobi ANH. Obi-Dad thank you for sharing this review with us. I like this saber plus I really can't afford the smooth swing neopixle lightsaber's. If I could I would definitely get one of Luke's Return Of The Jedi lightsaber or Ben Kenobi A New Hope.

[@sharkinajar1984]

I have the Pach Hero V1. A little more expensive but not overly crazy, it's soooooo much better. Working thin neck goes a long way, as well as blinking leds on the control box. Also, I'd recommend looking at getting a Luke with the new xeno3 board if you're wanting budget! As for saber prices in general, they really are dipping down more and more for unlicensed. TXQ is running a sale right now and you can get their new pixel4 for as little as 90$ which is crazy.

Yeah, I also am a sucker for the blinking lights. Although I do need that extended emitter. That would be really tough to choose between the two.

Love your vids, but PLEASE demonstrate how the swing sound is speed sensitive! You were right when you noticed it sounded a little different. I've seen no one in the comments ever mention this! Try swinging or just moving the saber very slowly, like lowering it down to your side, and the sound is slow. Go fast, and the sound is faster. I feel like this goes unnoticed, and Hasbro definitely doesn't advertise it. Thought I was imagining things, but then I spent like 10 minutes experimenting, and it definitely works this way.

[@fertacrit2753]

Great vid as always. Wow, so much judgement and negativity ripping those who like the Force FX in the comments (not talking bout you Obi-Dad your great and as neutral and honest as possible). This saber review sure brought people out of the woodwork vs your other reviews Why can't people just like what they like? Not everyone has top dollar to spend on lightsabers. At the right time these can be had for under $200, which all my others are. I don't dual with them, they are primarily display pieces. Another reason I like these is are stands that come with them. They are all the same so for me it is a unified look when they are on my mantle. I hate clutter so a nice "clean" look is my preference. They are also accurate enough for my tastes. It's ok if some of us like the Force FX series, thus I don't get some of the judgy comments. All is good, off my soap box.

[@FindingTheForce]

Hey bud, I’m trying to get to the comments, but I have not seen too much negativities so far. There’s definitely plenty to like about this Saber. The blade and neck does not need to be movie accurate, that’s what the display one is for. But with the rising prices, I just wanted to point out what people could get for a little bit more. Thank you for understanding and watching my video.

[@darthvader1951]

The Asoka saber did come with a crystal as well

[@devilmaster274]

You have to expect this kind of thing with the sound effects. Its not a fancy neo pixel lightsaber so on most of the sabers apart from the darksaber and their ignition sounds they will all sound the same. Also what you refer to as tip drag is actually ment to be like a cutting effect like qui gon did in the phantom menace. BUT that being said you can tell they are getting better. Massive step up from Revans saber (which i still love regardless). But yeah the hasbro sabers generally are just collecters items. That being said the reveiw is still great ^^
