Our expert's notes
Original dueling Lightsaber used in the production of the 1999 Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace. This style of Lightsaber was used for dueling scenes, where the actors would be fighting on screen. The handle section is made of cast resin and painted silver and black with faux button details. The handle features a section of "all thread" protruding from the emitter where a long metal tube is attached with tension screws. The tube section is then covered in green paint and sealed with plastic, which would allow the blade to later be replaced via CGI. This piece shows signs of wear in the hilt with scrapes in the paint and the blade section features small dents where the actors would fight with it. This piece remains in excellent, screen used condition.
