Love them or hate them, the sequel trilogy introduced a new generation to the Star Wars universe, and with it a new villain in the form of Kylo Ren. They’re better used as a displayed prop, but they do feature fantastic light and sound effects and come with a recommended age rating of 8+, making them perfect for swinging around for kids and grownups alike. Griping aside, these are some of the best officially licensed replica lightsabers to ever hit the market and a cut above the usual pop-up plastic toys you find down the toy aisle of Walmart. Still, these character-specific designs such as Kylo Ren, Dary Vader and Luke Skywalker only vary in the hilt design, which makes the process of buying a blade a little easier when they’re actually in stock on the Shop Disney store (opens in new tab). You can also buy the light-up blade online, but this could be a hindrance given its additional expense. While it's fun to grab one from one of the official theme parks directly, you can also find these across Amazon and Walmart, though the blade is sold separately from the hilt. Some of the easiest replica lightsabers to find are the Galaxy’s Edge Legacy Lightsabers, which are officially licensed Disney products and can be used alongside a lightsaber blade purchased at the Galaxy’s Edge park. There, you can visit Savi's Workshop (opens in new tab) and build your very own fully custom lightsaber within an immersive roleplay experience. If you’re looking for some official Disney merchandise then luckily there are several options listed on third-party retailers, die-hard fans we would also recommend checking out Disney’s theme park shops within the Galaxy’s Edge area of Disney World Orlando. Need something flashy to complete your cosplay? Perhaps you’d prefer your lightsabers to be a decorative replica, or even a ‘combat ready’ model that can tolerate smashing against an opponent's blade? There are plenty of officially branded and unofficial products to serve your requirements. In fact, there’s so much choice on the market these days that you can find a blade for every character, budget and purpose. Some kits even have mix-and-match components to them so that kids can create their own designs that aren't inspired by a particular character. Modern toy lightsabers often come with fantastic lighting effects and as the franchise has developed and more characters have been introduced, we now have more variety than ever when it comes to blade colors and designs.
