May the Force Be With You
Whether your child is a fan of the new Clone Wars animated film or the original trilogy, this light saber, with its light up blade and electronic sounds, is sure to be a hit. Its sturdy plastic components in gray, black, and gold, three colored crystals, and telescoping blade can be combined in over 1000 different ways to create a customized battle weapon. And since part of the fun is in thinking up ways to combine the pieces into a customized weapon, there's no time-consuming adult setup.

You'll need a Philips head screwdriver to insert three AA batteries (not included), and you may want to help young users put the color crystals in the first time around, so they know how to change them later on.

Imaginative Play that Spans Distant Galaxies
One of this light saber's top features is the way it emits different sounds along with a different color light inside the clear plastic blade depending on what Ilum crystal or crystals are inserted in the handle. Choose the classic Jedi green, blue, Sith red, or combine crystals to achieve an effect like the violet light saber Mace Windu uses. Star Wars fans will immediately recognize the powerful humming noise that indicates a light saber ready for combat. And the variety of clashing sounds that the unit makes when the blade comes in contact with any sturdy obstruction is sure to thrill.

While too much rough play can take a toll on any toy, the construction behind this light saber seems sturdy and well thought out. Adults and kids with larger hands may find the hilt sits more comfortably in their grasp without the custom handles over it.

Overall, we had loads of fun creating a custom look, practicing crafty moves, and fighting off imaginary enemies with this light saber. Since the colored blade effect is achieved by projecting light into the clear plastic blade, playing with this light saber in a dark or dimly lit room provides extra drama and an increased dose of fun.

Because this toy calls forth an epic battle between good and evil, we imagine that having a playmate with a second light saber would increase the fun exponentially.

What's in the Box
Hilt, blade, 3 colored crystals, 4 hilt sleeves, tonfa handle, 4 end caps, 3 sleeve rings, blade-emitter guard, and an instruction booklet.

Product Reviews

(3 stars) - Good buy.
My 7 year old played with this, but he didn't like the way it felt (too heavy) to play with at times. He traded it to his brother (age 11) for another toy. The 10yr. old and 11 yr old love this toy.

(5 stars) - Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Light Saber
My 9 year old loves it. It is very durable and allows him to design different light saber models. It was reasonably priced as compared to the more expensive models on the Amazon website. Has 3 different colored lights and different sounds. If your child loved Star Wars, he/she will love this light saber! May the Force be with you !

(5 stars) - Glad we purchased this toy
My son asked me to write a review and tell how good this product is. It is very strong if you hit things and it makes sounds when you hit things. You can build many different kinds of lightsabers. He likes how it lights up in the dark. He recommends other people should buy it.

(5 stars) - One year later, 11yo son is still playing with it!
I purchased this product for xmas 2008. My son has since played with it and never broken it or lost any of the pieces. It still works as intended. It is a wonderful toy for Star Wars fans that like to play lightsabers. I was very impressed with this toy. It looked a little daunting at first, but my then 10yo easily grabbed pieces and began making different lightsabers for each Star Wars character. As fast as boys grow, this is a wonderful present to them as they will use it a year or more so far! It just keeps on being a favorite toy with all the combinations they can make. Highly recommended!

(4 stars) - Fun Light Saber!
This was a big surprise for my little boys bday. He loves it and is so creative with it. That's why I gave it 4 stars on educational value. He's not inside under the TV or video games all day long. He has his Laser Tag now, light saber and other new toys that he can go outside and play with rather than stay inside and eat all day. Wonderful choice and highly recommended. Lots of different attachments that he can figure out on his own. IMAGINATION!!
