The delivery was immediate. The website was easy to use, simple to add to the cart and for me, easier to hit purchase. It arrives in a good durable box, wrapped up and I haven’t dueled yet but I... See more

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 3 sabers from the buy 1 get 2…

I got 3 sabers from the buy 1 get 2 free sale recently. It was surprisingly fast to get shipped to me. I got the Kybercore, Guardian, and Acolyte. They are very robust and I have been dueling with my kids for the last 3 days. The only times we have to put them down is to get charged. The app that goes with it is amazing when it comes to customization as well. I can't say enough positive things about these sabers, thank you.

Order (#5502) never received in OVER 3 MONTHS!

I placed an order (#5502) on May 4th and have not received any part of my order and I have not received any replies to any of the emails I have sent. I have received several emails asking me to rate my experience and sabers but I have not received anything. When I try to reply to the rating request asking about my order I get no reply. I have seen some good reviews and would love to be one of them but I have nothing good to say about my experience so far.

Receiving the sabers was fantastic

Receiving the sabers was fantastic, took a little longer than I was expecting. I ordered mine on July 9th got a shipping update on the 18th and got it delivered the 23rd. Pretty sure the site said 3 to 5 days so I was concerned after a week went by. I've ordered from China before so when I figured that part out I was good, would had been better if I knew that from the start. Now the sabers themselves are of an awesome quality do not hesitate to order it's not a scam just takes a while longer than the site says. Something SWA should seriously consider is changing the time window, if it said two to three weeks I wouldn't be happy but any rage would be held in check until after the third week. I am very, very happy with the sabers, two Vengeance for my nephews and the Assassin for myself. Personally I'm not gonna crap on a company for making me wait longer than I expected if the product received happens to be exceptional, so 5 stars from me. Would I order again? a resounding yes!!

We're having fun

Timely delivery. Everything does up in good condition. Easy ordering, good communication about order status. LOVE the lightsabers. All the different options are awesome, we have had multiple lightsaber battles on our front lawn. It had been so much fun.

Don't do it!

Not worth the purchase from these crooks. I see some people have received their orders, but there's also a large number of people that haven't. I spent 387 during a May 4th sale and never received any part of my order. They won't respond to emails and the chatbot will gaslight you and say it was fulfilled. Don't give these people your money!

These sabers are awesome!

These sabers are amazing! They are very high quality and made of durable materials. The handle is made of metal and the blade is made of a very hard plastic. There is also a speaker that plays the sound effects and it’s at a nice loudness level. Overall, they feel great and the ability to be able to change the colors along with the sound effects is great.

SWA Sabers

Was worried about reviews at first but took a chance. My three sabers came within a reasonable time and it was worth the wait! My kids love them and so do I! Also customer service got back with me with a shipping timeline within a day to make me feel more comfortable with my purchase.

Not a scam but the worst customer service possible!

A very frustrating service from a company that clearly havent got the set up to deal with the volume.

After leaving a 1* review because I genuinely thought I was being scammed, the company contacted me, despite ignoring previous emails from me. When you order, they are not clear about timescales The customer service was appalling and rude, there are no help articles or information on timescales, they simply say 3-5 days. We waited 1 month but they did arrive and despite my son getting a different saber than what was ordered he was happy.

If you are in the UK don’t bother with these guys, I had to pay an extra £60 in VAT and the service was awful.

Not worth the stress! And my advice to the company is get your team some customer service training and reply to emails! That might stop allll the negative reviews!

Reply from SWA Sabers

Alice, when you posted this review, your sabers were still in international transit to the UK. There’s always a delay between when a label is created and when Evri officially receives and scans in the parcel. That’s completely normal.

If you had literally waited only 2 more days, you would’ve seen the tracking update showing that Evri is now in possession of your sabers and processing them at their hub.

We ask that customers be patient and reasonable — jumping to accuse a company of being a scam, especially when the package is clearly en route, is not only damaging but unfair.

We’re a legitimate business, delivering high-end lightsabers to thousands of customers globally. Accusations like this hurt honest businesses that are doing everything right.

We hope your son enjoys the sabers when they arrive, and we encourage you to update your review once they’re in hand.

I ordered the Darth Maul saber staff…

I ordered the Darth Maul saber staff and it came with two free sabers. One of the free sabers was the wrong one (which I get, it was during the May the 5th sale), that was able to be overlooked somewhat. The biggest problem is, the saber staff WILL NOT CHARGE! I have tried every method to contact them, and they have completely ignored all my messages, emails, etc... I would NOT recommend ordering from them to anyone!!! it took a month to receive it which I don't mind, but come on!

Giddy like a Kid

Bought the Savior II, together with the Acolyte and the Templar, and I am blown away by the quality, seriously, I am still giddy like a little child, simply for holding a lightsaber. truly amazing.

The delivery took a solid while, nearly a month, but thats okay, I was expecting that, and it is said when you buy the sabers.

Feels good, Not too heavy, Not Too light, the blade itself is pretty robust, so i can smack my friends with it. 👍🏻😁

The build quality and lighting are on another level

The build quality and lighting are on another level
My ONLY complaint is that it takes a good while to be delivered, it good things come to those who wait
I see a LOT of people complaining about how long it takes, I understand their frustration, but would you rather a cheaply made, barely functional product that’s delivered in just a few days? Or a well built, sturdy, accurate, and reliable product that will last for 5+ years, that takes about 2-4 weeks?
I believe the answer is obvious…

I placed my order on May 11th of 2025

I placed my order on May 11th of 2025. It is July 22nd and I still have not received it. I have tried many times to reach out through email and the chat on their website and they refuse to respond. They have basically stolen 297.00 from me. Buyer beware.

The Redeemer

Was able to finally procure my replica Episode VI Luke Skywalker lightsaber, called The Redeemer. I looked at many different sites and found SWA to have the best quality I was looking for. When it arrived, I was immediately satisfied at the high quality of the saber. The materials used and the attention to detail were pertinent in what I was looking for, and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend their products!

Delivery dates were off

Delivery dates were off. But I knew that going in. They could change that up a bit. But everything else is great with the three sabers I got. (They respond quick on Instagram if ya have a issue) I would use them again.

The invictus saber
