So, here’s something a little bit different:

Up front, let me just say that for all of its problems, I really love the Star Wars fan community. There are exceptionally few groups of people in the world, who would see a prop design in a very old, somewhat obscure video game(s), and think so highly of it, that they would dedicate the time and money necessary to manifest that object in the real world. Twice. 

For those who don’t know, the sabers pictured here are both used by Kyle Katarn (among others) in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight video game series. The green saber (although in the cut scene where we first see it being used it has a yellow blade, hence why I opted to attach yellow LED’s on the sound board but I digress) originally belonged to the Jedi Master Qu Rahn, a friend of Kyle’s father, Morgan Katarn. The blue saber was Kyle’s own, constructed by him, for use as a member of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Praxeum, and was the saber that he would carry until the end of his life.

I can go on and on about the lore surrounding these sabers, but the main takeaway is that these exist, in the real world. That, even after so many years in this community, has to be just the coolest thing imaginable. 

Never change, you wonderfully weird group of nerds. ❤

This is an 89 Sabers custom Qui-Gon Jinn lightsaber hilt. 89 Sabers, sometimes written 89sabers, is a China based custom saber company. I purchased the hilt second hand so I didn’t get the hilt from 89 Sabers directly. This is neat hilt right out of the box since the hilt is mostly assembled. If you’d like to make the hilt kit display ready or cosplay ready, all you would need to do is attach metallic red switch more securely to the hilt. The blade plug, which is included, helps complete the look of the hilt as well.

The 89 Sabers Qui-Gon Jinn lightsaber hilt features a removable shroud with a compartment underneath. To remove the shroud, simply unscrew the Covertec wheel and slide the shroud off the hilt. Then, unscrew one additional screw in order to access a hidden compartment. The compartment increases access to the inside of the hilt for sabersmiths or installers. amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "sabersourcing-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "force fx lightsaber"; amzn_assoc_default_category = "All"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "c991cb93a111c36f08ab455e20ef839d"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_search_bar_position = "top"; amzn_assoc_title = "Shop Related Force FX Lightsaber Products"; amzn_assoc_rows = "1"; The top of the hilt features a blade plug with a elegant, minimalistic design. The blade plug has a metal, flat top. The flat top has an indented circle in the center. A discreet set screw serves as a blade retention screw near the top of the emitter section.

The hilt features with deep grooves in the grip section, a vibrant removable shroud with a mirror finish, and a metallic red switch with knurling on the side. The pommel is removable and threaded female. The hilt is about 11.5 inches long and about 1.5 inches in diameter with about a 1 inch inside diameter (ID). It’s not an overly larger hilt and feels comfortable in the hand. The 89 Sabers Qui-Gon Jinn (custom) lightsaber hilt comfortable to hold, and install friendly, and all around gorgeous in design.
