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.

The Story of the Yoda Lightsaber – Star Wars Lightsaber
Nine hundred years of wisdom, twenty-six inches of Jedi — and a saber to match. Yoda’s shoto is the most surprising weapon in the saga: a compact green blade wielded at speeds no full-size duelist can follow. This replica recreates the Grand Master’s hilt, machined from 6063 aircraft-grade aluminium.
Famous Battles & Moments
Duel with Dooku
Geonosis, and the saga’s greatest reveal: the tiny master ignites his blade and becomes a blur. Dooku — his own former Padawan — barely escapes.
The Senate Chamber
Yoda against Darth Sidious at the Republic’s death — Grand Master against Sith Master among the senate pods, the war’s true final duel.
Nine Hundred Years
Yoda’s saber is drawn rarely because it is needed rarely — wisdom first, always. When it ignites, it means every other option is gone.
History of the Saber
Yoda’s shoto is scaled to its wielder — a short-bladed saber matched to his stature and his blinding Ataru acrobatics. It fell with the Republic, surrendered when he went into exile on Dagobah.
Combat Style
Ataru, Form IV — total acrobatic offence, the Force multiplying every leap and spin. Yoda’s mastery of it at his size and age remains the benchmark. The compact hilt handles fast and light, exactly as it should.
Why Collectors Want It
No saber sparks conversation like the Grand Master’s — everyone knows the character, and the compact hilt surprises everyone who picks it up. Machined from 6063 aluminium, duel-ready out of the box.
