The first Star Wars movie, Episode IV: A New Hope, hit theaters in 1977. Since then, the entire series has grossed over $10 billion at the box office.
This massive franchise has inspired fans all over the world to collect Star Wars merchandise, including the series’ most iconic weapon – the lightsaber.
But not all lightsabers are created equal. If you’re looking to do some serious dueling, you need something sturdy and reliable. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the best lightsabers for dueling.
The Monarch
First on our list is The Monarch. The saber’s design is heavily based on the Darth Sidious lightsaber featured in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. This along with its scepter-like design is what gives it its name, The Monarch.
The Monarch comes fully assembled and ready to duel with right out of the box. This 11″ long saber is built from high-quality aircraft aluminum. Its sturdy build makes it perfect for long, drawn-out lightsaber duels.
The Modular Hilt System (MHS) allows you to customize The Monarch to your liking with any MHS compatible parts. It also comes in both nickel-plated and black finishes. The wide variety of options for customization makes The Monarch attractive to fans who want their own unique saber.
The Guardian
You’ll probably recognize the design for The Guardian as it’s based off of Luke Skywalker’s famous blue lightsaber. At 13″ long and 1.5″ wide, this expertly crafted saber is perfect for any Star Wars fan to wield.
This lightsaber is also made from T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, so it can take hits for hours without accumulating scratches.
The Modular Hilt System is compatible with The Guardian’s pommel as well. Have fun mixing and matching its parts to create the ultimate saber ready for dueling.
Phantom V2
The Phantom V2’s name references Episode I: The Phantom Menace – perfect for a double-sided blade like the one Darth Maul wields in the movie.
You can take the Phantom V2 apart and wield one side for single combat, or piece them together for a more complex and dextrous dueling style.
The saber is made from black anodized aluminum, making it durable and comfortable to wield. Its width is slightly smaller too, so you can keep your grip on your weapon in intense battles.
One of the best features of the Phantom V2 is its color-changing ability. Its hilt button allows you to make your blades 7 different colors. Duel on the light side or the dark side with this RGB version.
