RGB vs Xenopixel / Neopixel
RGB (baselit) sabers light the blade from a single LED in the hilt, offering a wide range of colours and solid effects at the best value, and the most impact-resistant build for duelling. Xenopixel and Neopixel sabers use a strip of individually-lit LEDs inside the blade for ultra-bright, uniform illumination and advanced effects. See our electronics guide and buyer’s guide. A full side by side of every board we fit, so you can choose the right saber with confidence. Still unsure? Message the workshop, we'll help you pick.

The Story of the Qui-Gon Jinn Lightsaber – Neopixel Lightsaber
Qui-Gon Jinn followed the living Force over the Council’s politics, and his saber matches the man: robust, understated, built for use rather than ceremony. It is the weapon of the Jedi who found Anakin Skywalker — and the hilt his Padawan would model his own upon. This replica recreates it in machined 6063 aircraft-grade aluminium.
Famous Battles & Moments
The Duel of the Fates
Qui-Gon carries this blade through the saga’s most celebrated duel — the three-way clash with Darth Maul in the Naboo reactor complex, fighting to the very end.
The Discovery of the Chosen One
On Tatooine, Qui-Gon’s instincts defy the Council and change the galaxy: he stakes everything on a slave boy with impossible potential. This saber guards that gamble.
A Master’s Legacy
After Naboo, Obi-Wan carries Qui-Gon’s saber until he builds his own — and the design philosophy flows on through every Kenobi hilt that follows.
History of the Saber
Qui-Gon built a practical master’s weapon — a straightforward hilt with a bright green blade, refined over decades of field work far from Coruscant. Its design became the template for Obi-Wan’s Padawan saber, seeding a whole lineage.
Combat Style
Qui-Gon fought in Ataru, the acrobatic form, tempered by a veteran’s economy — powerful and direct rather than flashy. The hilt’s solid, neutral balance suits exactly that grounded style.
Why Collectors Want It
For prequel fans, this is the blade where it all begins — the saber of the master who found Anakin and shaped Obi-Wan. It pairs naturally with the EP1 Obi-Wan hilt as a master-and-Padawan display. Machined from 6063 aluminium, duel-ready out of the box.
