The dark saber blade is shorter than anticipated. It measures 30 inches from the hilt, not 36. The blade and hilt are stunning. The hilt is heavy and feels like a real sword, not a toy. Initially w... See more

Written by the company

SWA Sabers is a premium lightsaber company specializing in screen-accurate replica lightsabers, combat lightsabers, and advanced Neopixel lightsabers for collectors, duelists, cosplayers, creators, and Star Wars fans. Our philosophy is simple: you shouldn’t have to choose between owning a beautiful movie-accurate lightsaber and actually using one in battle. That’s why we developed a unique two-system approach centered on our premium SWA Pixel™ replicas and our purpose-built DuraBlade™ combat sabers. This “display one, duel with two” approach is the core of our brand. Buy 1 Get 2 Free Unlike most lightsaber companies, every qualifying purchase includes our famous Buy 1 Get 2 Free promotion. The reason isn’t to clear inventory. It’s because you can’t duel with just one lightsaber. Instead of giving away low-quality promotional products, we include two full-size DuraBlade™ combat replicas so customers can immediately duel with friends and family. The offer is designed to create an experience, not just a collection. Why Our Free Sabers Are Different Many customers ask: “Why are you giving away two free sabers?” The answer is simple. Most companies include inexpensive promotional items. We don’t. Our free sabers are purpose-built combat lightsabers featuring the same DuraBlade™ technology used throughout our combat lineup. They are engineered specifically for repeated blade-on-blade impacts and are backed by our Lifetime Dueling Warranty on eligible DuraBlade combat models. They are built to be used—not treated as disposable extras. DuraBlade™ Technology Our proprietary DuraBlade™ system was developed specifically for heavy dueling. Rather than adapting a collector’s saber for combat, we engineered a dedicated platform built for repeated impacts. Each DuraBlade uses reinforced polycarbonate—the same material used in police riot shields—combined with ergonomics optimized for dueling, secure blade retention, and simplified controls that make combat more intuitive. If you’re searching for: * Best lightsaber for dueling * Heavy dueling lightsaber * Combat-ready lightsaber * Durable lightsaber * Lightsaber for sparring DuraBlade™ was built specifically for that purpose. SWA Pixel™ For collectors and enthusiasts seeking the closest experience to a movie prop, we developed SWA Pixel™, our newest premium Neopixel platform. SWA Pixel™ combines screen-accurate replica designs with premium electronics, smooth swing, multiple sound fonts, dynamic ignition effects, flash-on-clash, and customizable blade colors to deliver a cinematic experience while preserving the authentic appearance of iconic lightsaber hilts. Two Versions of Every Iconic Replica Many of our most popular character designs are offered in two separate versions: • A screen-accurate SWA Pixel™ replica built for collectors. • A combat replica rebuilt using DuraBlade™ technology for real dueling. Instead of forcing customers to compromise between authenticity and durability, SWA separates those two jobs so each lightsaber excels at its intended purpose. Trusted by Thousands of Fans More than 20,000 customers have trusted SWA Sabers, and over 79% return to purchase additional lightsabers. Many customers begin with one saber and quickly discover why our Buy 1 Get 2 Free experience has become one of the most talked-about offers in the hobby: collecting is exciting, but sharing the experience through dueling with friends and family is what keeps many fans coming back. Whether you’re looking for the best Neopixel lightsaber, a screen-accurate replica, or the best lightsaber for combat and dueling, our goal is the same: build premium products that let you own the lightsaber you’ve always wanted—and actually enjoy using it.

I got sabres during the buy one get 2 free period and was not disappointed, not only are the sabres comfortable and durable during battle, they also look great and have a bunch of setting for changing how your Sabre sounds and what color the blade is. Plus the fact that everyone in my family has one is a huge win. Great company

Really solid stuff.

I sought out replica lightsabers for an upcoming occasion and landed on these guys. Took a bit longer to ship than stated, but everything arrived in solid condition. Only real problem I have is that two of the sabers don't have the right size screws to hold in the blade, but coming from someone used to collapsible plastic toy sabers, this soars above that. Appropriately bright and colorful, and good sound.

They'll never respond to a word

Zero responses from SWA Sabers despite several attempts to reach them, both through their live chat on their website and by email, no responses whatsoever, placed the order about 4 months ago and haven't heard a thing, zero customer service response

Solid Saber

Found SWA on instagram and applied fir their ambassador program, requesting my sample Durablade Starter saber. Wasn’t honestly sure what to expect, but wanted to be certain I wasn’t peddling something terrible. It arrived and, after a full charge, I started playing around with the functions and features.
First, it was LOUD. Startled my partner upon first ignition. The “instruction” pamphlet can be a tad confounding due to its size and font, but quickly I picked up on the controls. Single button works well, and the gesture controls are solid. Any unintentional feature activation seems to be from a lack of precision in the gesture rather than the saber itself.
The multiple fonts are well done, the background music is solid, and the colors are clear for an RGB saber. Look great on film.
The Durablade itself has already taken several hits that would have shattered my previous sabers and shows no sign of wear.
I am thoroughly impressed, and have no hesitation on representing this brand.
I have yet to deal with their service department, so I have no way of rating that yet. Considering actually purchasing more so I can duel with my kids without worry of breaking the sabers!

My 18 year old son spent his birthday money on two sabers. Communication has been non-existent and after three months he still hasn't received his sabers. I have emailed asking for a refund but still not response! DO NOT BUY from this company.

Scam

Scam. Definitely avoid. Subpar products and a customer service department that will just ghost or ignore you.

We ordered 3 lightsabers for my son's…

We ordered 3 lightsabers for my son's birthday during the buy 1, get 2 free sale. So we purchased Obi Wan's with a pixel blade, and then selected 2 others with the dura blades. The order took about 2 weeks to be delivered, but we didn't pay for any expedited option, so that wasn't an issue. These were birthday presents for our son. To say these were the favorite present is an understand. He is playing with them while I write this review.

Some assembly required: you will need to charge the blades when they arrive, and then assemble them. The operating instructions are straightforward, but took a bit of use to fully understand. Trial and error was my teacher.

Overall, I am glad I bought these for my son. I'm sure I'll aquire more in the years ahead.

Complete scam

I would go negative stars if that was an option. My son order 4 and paid $1,300. They came and two are non operable and one is not what we ordered. All 4 have different batteries and charge differently. No instructions on how to assemble. I reached out to customer service and told them we had an issue. Upon seeing it and live chatting with me, they asked for pictures and the order number. I provided and then poof...totally ghosted me. We will be filing BBB complaint, disputing the charge, and posting negative, but honest, reviews on every platform imaginable. BE CAUTIOUS OF THIS COMPANY.

Saber never got refunded BEFORE it was in transit, and now I can't get one.

First off, I messed up initially. I put the wrong address because it was connected to my Google Pay, and Google automatically added the address after I manually put it in, changing it.

Second, I emailed them IMMEDIATELY telling them I wanted to cancel the order (Aug 9th mind you, and two of them) and they never responded.

Third, I sent an email today, and gave them proof of everything, and they just said "We can't give you a refund if it's already in transit. It has to be returned to us." If I could return it, I wouldn't be asking for a refund.

TL;DR:
I sent two emails, with proof on Aug 9th, and sent one today (Aug 21) and just got an email back today saying they can't help me.

Never ordering from them again, out 200+ dollars because they don't want to answer the emails which is support's job.

I suggest you DON'T buy from them, and I suggest you find a different website. This is asinine.

Avoid if you don't want a headache

My sister made an order on May 7th, since then she's emailed them 3 times on updates, one moved the date, and she heard nothing from the other 2. Order tracking was last updated on May 20th saying her order is ready (its August 14th as of writing this). She hasn't received them yet but she's been getting emails requesting reviews of her sabers. Honestly, avoid if you don't want to deal with a headache.

Don't trust them.

Like many others, I too had been waiting for a number of months for a promised product with no sign of its arrival. Trying to get a hold of someone from this company is as painful as pulling teeth. False promises and no contact after taking my money for the buy 1 get 2 special.

I managed to successfully dispute my purchase and got my money back, but SWA still claimed that my products arrived and challenged my dispute.

This is one of the first times I have been so burned by a company that I believe I need to warn other people to stay away. Entire experience has been a massive headache.

I would give a zero if possible!

I would give a zero if possible!

unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company.

Ordered with the buy 1 get 3 deal and they took the money and never sent the sabers. Waited greater than 90 days.

They even had the gall to ask for 5 stars when they didnt deliver the goods and didnt respond to emails or shopify (shipping) app messages.

Bank of America reversed the charges.

Beware of this Chinese scam.

6 Awesome Sabers

They could be better with their communication for sure but I received both orders (6 sabers). One saber is a Pixel blade and it's fantastic! The other 5 are durablade Sabers and very capable for dueling with the kids.

The Pixel blade is more than capable for dueling although not recommended. I ordered the pixel saber bundle first but it arrived a week after the second order I placed. Either way the quality was worth the wait.

The blades are easy to assemble and easy to charge. One of the chargers was broken so they said they would send me a new one.
