What is a Force FX Lightsaber?
Force FX Lightsabers are made by Master Replicas under license from Lucas Films. They are replicas of various lightsabers used in the movie Star Wars. The Force FX Lightsabers’ features include a glowing blade that ignites with realistic power-up and power-down light effects, enhanced by either 8 (older models) or 10 (Gen3 and up) motion sensor controlled sound effects digitally recorded straight from the movie: power-up, power-down, idle, movement (3 sounds) and clash (4 sounds**). The bodies are crafted from lightly chrome-plated aluminum that looks and feels much like the real thing. A sturdy polycarbonate blade is permanently attached to the hilt and uses either 6 or 3 AA batteries depending on the model. ** – Only the Vader models have 1 clash sound. All the other models have 4 clash sounds.
