Obi-Wan Kenobi's 'Revenge Of The Sith' Lightsaber
This limited edition lightsaber is an exact replica of the Obi-Wan Kenobi
lightsaber as seen in 'Revenge Of The Sith'. Master Replicas
released this saber in 2005 with a limited edition size of 4,500. The saber
came with an acrylic display case, a cleaning cloth, a plaque, and a certificate of authenticity.
This saber is #3638 and retailed at a MSRP of $369.00.
Excerpts from the certificate
In this climatic Star Wars movie, Obi-Wan Kenobi is armed with a new lightsaber -
built when he ascended to the Jedi Council. Since this new weapon represents the one used by Obi-Wan
in Star Wars: A New Hope, the prop department referenced available archive materials
and machined a similar looking hilt in aluminum, with brass and resin details.
"To recreate the Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode III Revenge Of The Sith Lightsaber,
Lucasfilm provided Master Replicas with an actual filming prop for reference, enabling our engineers
to exactly reproduce every detail and dimension."
Personal Opinion
This lightsaber is one of my favorite pieces among all the other lightsabers in
my collection. It's extremely shiny, and the display case gives it museum like
quality. It's also one of those sabers which had a lot of screen time, and
was used by Obi-Wan Kenobi not only to confront Count Dooku and destroy General Grievous, but also fight
Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar.
