The ULTIMATE Lightsaber SURVIVAL GUIDE

[@carlyking]

BTW I'm sorry the music is kinda loud in the beginning - it goes away after a minute I promise lol

[@MysticMaven00]

I generally stick to the lower cost sabers, that still look cool, and I like the "original" design ones more then movie replica ones. Also I got tiny hands so I need hilts that are on the skinner side, I don't like the hilts I can barely wrap my hand around

[@carlyking]

Haha I feel you! I have pretty small hands too so I love spinning the lighter/smaller lightsabers!

[@1123mgirl]

Can you recommend some? :) thoroughly investigating to get my first 🙏🏻

[@legendaryllamafilms]

im thinking about getting something from crimson dawn.

[@paulgreene6899]

Some of'em is kinda bulky, I have small hands myself. Ah'ight, My thing is not the pixel lighting, It's the construction of the blade. The thickness of it is 2mm. Why can't the Saber factories Construct a 4.5mm thick blades? That way, It can be a little bit more tougher For it's forocious dueling.

[@richietwinz6824]

I just bought my first Xenopixel V3 core from Padawan Outpost (to go in a Revan V1 empty hilt I'm getting next month) and I'm very happy with it! Great sound, FX, colours, smooth swing and gesture control - huge step up from my old Saber Forge Arbiter stunt saber!

[@PadawanKestis]

Each time you swing the saber my mind screams "WATCH THE TV" I also gotten my first baselit lightsaber from my dad and I am in love with it but now I'm saving up to get a Xenopixel

[@Itouchlove]

I just bought my first one and now I am hooked

[@ZachAgape]

You make wonderful content, thank you! Some of your reactions to the lightsaber fonts were so cute, I love the joy you have with it🥰 Not sure I have a favorite yet - I do really like Master Sol's. But I'm definitely going for cheaper base-lit sabers, both due to financial constraints and because I want them at least partly for dueling! I'm receiving my first lightsabers (since the cheap plastic ones I had as a kid) tomorrow, so excited :DDD

[@chelseakkate]

i’m getting my first ever proper light saber and i’m getting it from padawan outpost for christmas!! my mum ordered it for me and i’m so excited!! i’m getting the model beta in gold and i can’t wait!!

[@EvynProkopchuk]

Thank you for this amazing video Carly! This was super helpful, as I was debating on what saber to go with. In the end I went with the Base-Lit Model Delta from Padawan Outpost, as it wasn't too pricey and I think it looks nice as well :)

[@ZachAgape]

Similar here! I'm getting my Beta from Padawan Outpost tomorrow :D

[@EvynProkopchuk]

@@ZachAgape Congrats! I hope you love it 😁

[@robwassell]

Thank you, Carly - this video is an exceptional piece of work that is informative, insightful and incredibly helpful. I've watched dozens of videos and none have summarised the different aspects of lightsabers as well as this one.

[@noahmats1]

Please do an updated video for your favorite and least favorite companies for lightsabers. That video helped me get my sabers from kybers and padawan outpost

[@gothboibunni2244]

Pro tip use a mirror or reflection at the back of your vid to fulyl showcase the ligthing and effects on your saber! Super informative video. Thanks so much for this.

[@nahte724]

My absolute favorite lightsaber design is Luke's from Episode VI. I love the sleek silver and black with just that little pop of copper.

[@WonderfulHayden]

I love that lightsaber design, too. It's also Obi-Wan's lightsaber design as Luke followed his schematics.

[@PilotTurtle]

@@WonderfulHayden I'm glad I found that out, I was wondering why they were so similar

[@Sarah_Kinz]

@@WonderfulHayden I've only just found out luke based his design on Ben's from his schematics! Pretty cool

[@bluemoppy1]

"oh no, Thor's in a cage. how did this happen?"that tickled me, the sound font is worth it just for that!

[@Treisiess]

Ngl, as you were going through the sound fonts I was imagining a dragonballz themed sound found. Imagining hearing Kamehameha! coming from your saber followed by the sound the beam makes when it launches as the saber ignites. Also, just ordered my first pair of crimson dawn sabers earlier this evening. I swear the more of your vids I watch the more I want to get into the hobby.

[@paulnicholson5997]

At the 1:25 mark, " I don't like scams!" and the little symbol pops up, brilliant. So 1st hand knowledge, I ordered from " the scam company" back in early July, after being lied to over and over about when my order would ship, I had enough. I called my CC company and filled a dispute. Apparently the word is out because my CC refunded my money on the spot. Hopefully your excellent videos can spare others what I went through. Thanks for all you do, also I learned the Obi/Ani saber spin from you, so thanks. Keep up the good work, happy holidays. 😁

[@MrCoombzy]

Sadly it doesn't apply to just that company any more, there are tons popping up on a daily basis.

[@sabinramirez2592]

Epic lightsabers, all the top 3 lightsaber hilts I liked are Darksaber, Qui Gon Jinn & Count Dooku jedi hilt

[@lysanderhuynh]

If you want to duel, depending on the league, then I would recommend hilt no more than 12.5 in. and the blade 32"-37." I think 36" is standard long blade class.

[@EpcStylz]

I'm about to get a GH v3 saber from Darkwolf. I'm pretty excited. Cant quite decide on the hilt yet though.

[@ghstly8609]

Hey i just got my first neopixle and now it’s the battery is becoming low and maybe it’s a stupid question but I don’t wanna mess up so I’ll rather ask, can I leave the blade connected to the hilt while charging or do I need to separate them?

[@cezarykaminski2556]

Great content, thank you for such a meticulous comparison. It makes a huge difference now when deciding on the next purchase! There is still one burning question that remains: - if I buy the Heavy Grade Neo blade at Sabertrio and a hilt at Crimson Dawn, will they be compatible? I like the idea of a combat ready neo blade and the option of connecting 2 hilts together (Maul style) :)

[@dariusrat6468]

Not sure about the two companies but every neopixel blade regardless of company all have to use the same style neopixel connector plug so you can mix and match blades with different brands and they'll work perfectly fine.

[@carlyking]

It depends! If you means Savi's lightsaber - you get a better quality lightsaber if you spend the same amount of money on a neopixel 2.0 from Imperial Workshop ($160) - however - I would say the experience of building your own lightsaber is worth it. As far as the Legacy lightsabers go, it's the same thing, however, the hilts are super pretty display pieces

But that’s just my preference. If you happen to do a another update vídeo in the future please add hilt chassis and speakers to your list of topics when buying a lightsaber!

Hallo Carly! I want to order a darth revan lightsaber but i cant decide which length to get on the blade. I know that tall people like me 6,3 foot should get a 36 inch blade but i wanna use it for spinning so i know that 32 is better for the balance. The problem with he 32 is that it looks a bit weird because im so tall, what length do you have on most of your sabers and what would you recommend me to go for?

Just got my first Imperial Workshop and I'm noticing there's a lacking of neopixel groups on FB. Perhaps somebody can guide me to a text FAQ? My most basic question is "35 around fonts are just too many and take too long to cycle through. Can I just delete the lines in the config file (leaving a backup, of course) to remove the ones I don't like, say down to 10 or so?"

[@ShahabSheikhzadeh]

I don't know if I'd call XenoPixel Target or even Proffie compared to Gucci given that the XenoPixel I can connect to it from my phone similar to CFX, out of the box along with download the configuration and modify the configuration. Though, I'm not sure when those changes came about given this video is about a year old and I just got started into this hobby. Your videos are pretty awesome-sauce, thanks so much 💜
