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 Obi-Wan Kenobi EP4 Lightsaber
Obi-Wan’s Episode IV saber is the endpoint of forty years of refinement — the slim-necked hilt with its distinctive balance pipe and windvane, drawn from beneath desert robes when the galaxy needed Ben Kenobi one last time. This replica recreates that final design in machined 6063 aircraft-grade aluminium.
Famous Battles & Moments
The Cantina
Two ignitions, one severed arm, and a room that goes back to its drinks — Mos Eisley learns why you don’t threaten the old man’s friends.
The Circle Complete
Aboard the Death Star, Obi-Wan meets Vader for their final duel — and chooses sacrifice, raising this hilt as he lets the blade fall. The saga’s first duel on screen, and its most selfless.
The Hermit’s Blade
Through nineteen years of exile watching over Luke, this saber waited under Ben’s robes — the last lightsaber the galaxy would see until a new hope picked one up.
History of the Saber
This is Obi-Wan’s fourth and final hilt — the mature refinement of a lineage that began with his Padawan blade on Naboo. Its thin neck and balance pipe made it one of the most distinctive props of the original film. Read more about the character in the official Star Wars Databank.
Combat Style
Old Ben fights pure Soresu — total economy, perfect defence, and the patience of a master with nothing to prove. The slim, perfectly balanced hilt suits exactly that measured style.
Why Collectors Want It
The EP IV hilt is where the whole Kenobi lineage leads, and its thin-neck silhouette is one of the most recognisable in prop collecting. It completes any Obi-Wan set — or starts one at the top. Machined from 6063 aluminium, duel-ready out of the box.
