This is a great lightsaber! My hubby used it for his Darth Vader cosplay and it looked great! There are 3 settings on the saber. 1) Off position 2) Test position 3) On position. The 2nd position runs through the sounds and light sequences and then will turn off on its own. The sound effects come from the bottom of the lightsaber so if need be it would be easy to place a piece of tape over the speaker to eliminate any sound but still enjoy the red light! Great product at a great price!

The light saber is cool when it works. There are better Sabers out there, I'm sorry I bought it. It works half of the time. For me, it was not worth the money. I used it for parades and community Halloween celebrations. It was ok, but not impressive.

Yes, I must agree with the dark lord of the Sith; this Disney Store Star Wars Darth Vader lightsaber is very impressive. Now let’s face facts… or I’ll face facts while you look on silently. There are basically three types of lightsabers; cheap, moderate, and high-end. Which one are you looking for? This lightsaber falls into a modest position in the moderate category, and at a good price for what you get.
Like its $160 to $1000.00 dollar plus counterparts, the blade could have been a foot longer (the hilt on this lightsaber is 11 inches and the blade 22.5 inches), and it could have been a little more screen accurate. However, for (at least) four times less the amount of the cheapest high-end lightsaber, this Star Wars Darth Vader lightsaber more than fits the bill for some collectors and cosplay events.
Upon taking it out of the box, I noticed it was slightly heavier than I expected. The most basic details of Darth Vader’s lightsaber were there. The ‘power up’ and the ‘power down’ sounds are great, as well as the general movement sounds. There is even a ‘Battle Clash rumble feature’; knocking the blade against something, makes the blade lights flicker, and you hear the distinctive sound of ‘saber on saber contact’. The hilt vibrates slightly as well.
While I plan to treat the lights in this saber with the same care as its more expensive cousin, I wouldn’t be nearly as upset if I blew a bulb in this lightsaber as opposed to one I had paid three figures for. Again, for the price, this is one awesome lightsaber. From one Star wars fan to another, you won’t regret buying it!

The LEDS are bright and the sounds are really good. However, 0ne LED light was went out after the first "duel". I have the luke skywalker blue saber that I bought from the Disney store and it has 2 lights out now. These were not "hard battles", I was playing around with them with my 9 year old, and I told her to swing gently. The connections for the LED lights are weak, and the handle cannot be taken apart as far as i can see to solder them like you can with the older versions of these sabers. $50 dollars is a lot of money to spend on a toy that breaks with the first play, but the only real option for a light saber other than these "cheap ones", is the $200 HD FX lightsabers. So, rather than give it 1 star for breaking, I'll meet Disney halfway with 3 stars for making a relatively affordable saber that will most likely break, but is still pretty cool even if a few LEDs don't light up.

Arrived promptly. Appears to work properly on Demo Mode - haven't removed it from packaging yet. The problem I have is with the product packaging itself. It was very worn looking and ripped in a couple places - like it possibly could have been a return or demo item. The shipping box was completely intact without any damage so this definitely happened on the seller/Amazon warehouse end. If i was giving this as a gift to someone other than immediate family I would have to return it cause it would not be presentable. I am giving this as a gift from Santa (I start my shopping early :)) for Christmas this year to my 4 year old so although its not ideal he probably won't notice - but of course I notice. It really looks like a cute toy though and I am sure he will enjoy it with the 48 inch Darth figure I also got him.

Very nice build quality, and the responsive sound effects really bring it to life. The non-telescoping blade has LEDs all the way to the point, so while the blade doesn't retract like some, the fact that the blade sequentially powers up and down like a real saber provides a very satisfying result. My sons love these in red and blue, and when they clash it sounds like a real battle. They are quite bright, and I was able to shoot video of them fighting that actually looked almost as convincing as the original Star Wars visual effects. It doesn't have extra blades or other kit, just a simple saber with rubberized grips - but it does not disappoint.

This worked beautifully for a cosplay of mine where I turned it off and on several times for several days. The batteries that came with the lightsaber held up and did not need changing, and the sound and light effects worked flawlessly the entire time.

It is safe to travel with this through the airport in a carry-on bag, though I will warn that it will not fit in a standard checked bag, and will not come apart. I had to research this, and I hope I can pass my knowledge on to those who need it!
