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.

Wrong Item Received

I ordered the Savior saber on the "buy one get two free" promotion, and I chose the Acolyte & the Warrior as my two free sabers. I received the Warrior and a starter saber.

Coolest thing I’ve ever bought in my life!!

These lightsabers were the coolest things I’ve ever bought in my life!! Support team was super helpful and answered all my questions about the delivery. Although it did take some time for the sabers to ship, it was so worth the wait. Delivery took only 4 days once they shipped. I really cannot wait to buy more.

Amazing light sabers but with dark service

SWA Sabers is definitely not horrible. The quality of the sabers is absolutely stunning and holding it makes you feel as if you are in the star wars world yourself. I have read many reviews talking about delivery time being bad, and I will say that is true. It will take you at least a month to two months for your saber to be delivered especially if you are trying to go for the buy 1 get 2 free sabers. On their website it is slightly misleading with the 3-5 shipment date but I highly suggest you read reddit, youtube, or even reviews on this website to get better info. As for customer service, I won't say that they have the quickest response time, as my emails had gone ignored for a while, but you will get your answer at a fluctuating time. I had to reach out via their website and instagram for a proper answer and got it in a day or two, not saying it will be the same for everyone. Overall for the products they are selling it is highly worth it but be ready for a long wait and if you are a very impatient or eager person, this will be a hard buy. One more thing to add on is that the controls, audios, and lights of the sabers will take a good few hours to learn and memorize as there is so much jammed into one button, but it works perfectly once you get the hang of it.

Weird customer service, inaccurate shipping dates

So when I originally ordered these lightsabers for my dad on June 20th ( who has a illness I will not disclose ) it really suprised me with how it said shipping took 3-5 business days to ship and how affordable these lightsabers were. So I was very excited to use these with my father to make some good memories with him. To the point I convinced my friends to buy some because we could also use them to fight over the summer. A week later I found out that it actually takes a couple of weeks to make the sabers then ship it out, which I was okay with. I messaged them to see if they could expedite my order for my very unfortunate situation with family to which a SWA team member or bot said that it would ship out on the 9th of July. Obviously I wasn’t expecting them to expedite my order as it’s unfair for other buyers and was just grateful for an update. When the 9th of July came my friend actually got his lightsabers two weeks earlier than expected which was weird. Because my sabers didn’t even ship the day they were supposed to. However, I had hope because my friends tracking order wasn’t accurate and said it hadn’t shipped yet even though his light sabers had arrived so I still kept hope for the next 3 to 5 business days until they did not appear on my doorstep at all. and my other friend, who also bought the Lightsaber on the same night as me got his the other day as expected, but where are mine? this is just completely unfair. I don’t expect premium treatment or anything like that but come on. I’ve messaged them constantly since the supposed shipping date to which I’ve had no response on Instagram and even got left on read, which is completely disappointing and embarrassing for a company just to ignore one of their customers like that. I had to get my mother to contact the company to which they said they get me a tracking order by the end of this week and we still haven’t gotten any message back from them since. Although I won’t give them a completely terrible review because I have used my friend’s light sabers from SWA and they are pretty good and you get your moneys worth. They also recently changed their production time to 3 to 4 weeks on their website at the end of this week which is today. It will be the end of the fourth week today so I’m just praying that they’ll ship out through blind faith.

When I first purchased mine

When I first purchased mine, I was confused on how long they would take, and someone helped me instantly letting me know. They are kind and helpful, and these light sabers are extremely high quality. If I had to buy to a saber for the first time. Id come here immediately

I love my order

I love my order, on June 26th i ordered The Savior II along with the Knight and The Inviticus for a total of about 290, they finally arrived yesterday on July 18th i have to say the shipping was a bit long but that’s very understandable considering i ordered three different sabers. overall im very happy with how they look and function they’re made out of pretty durable materials and the hilts are fairly comfortable and sleek

Quality Experience and Quality Sabers

I’m new to the light saber world. I’ve ordered from one other company and SWA Sabers has impressed me with their sabers. Ordering was extremely easy and the customer service answered questions in a decent amount of time. The quality is also something that struck me in a positive manner. I ordered The Phantom II saber with pixel blade and received two base lite sabers as part of their buy one get two free deal. Again, the quality of all three are top notch and the sounds are on point! My kiddo and I have really enjoyed them. Do not hesitate to buy from them. The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is the shipping was slightly longer than I was used to. A quick email and a reassuring response help alleviate any hesitation or apprehensions about this company!

Quick Answers, Good Design

I received my 3 sabers on Thursday July 17th, after ordering them late June. While they took a little longer than I was expecting, I was plenty patient and whenever I had concerns about my order, they answered almost immediately.

Upon actually receiving the sabers, I fell in love with the design, how easy they feel to use, and it understand the button system. There were plenty of features I was expecting like the ability to change the blade to any color and sound effects. But there were plenty of features I wasn't expecting like the ability to change or disable the volume and even BGM, which was just a cherry on top.

Overall, the only thing stopping me from immediately ordering again is the price, but thats just a me problem. When my income allows for it, and I need another lightsaber, I will absolutely go to SWAsabers again.

Did us right omm

When our package arrived, two of the lightsabers were incorrect - SWA immediately sent us a new order with our correct sabers at no extra cost. Reno's chat service was prompt and seamlessly helped get us right. Thank you Reno!

Great Product, Shaky Shipping

Product itself is great. Shipping experience was bad. They eventually come and you will be more than satisfied but be prepared to wait 1-2 months. Good weight to the hilts, look and feel high quality. Gonna have a blast

They take a minute to arrive

Ordered june 26th and got them july 17th. I thought that i got scammed but when they arrived… my gosh these things are mint. You can actually have a real lightsaber fight with your buddies without the sabers breaking. 10/10 would recommend.

Great Product Quality, Communication Issues

I ordered a Durablade saber in June as part of the buy 1 get 2 promotion. The sabers did take a month or so to come in which is understandable. My only critique of the process was that the tracking info never updated at all over that month span. I had emailed asking for an update yesterday, and was told that it had been delivered two days prior and I was never notified in any way.

As for the quality of the sabers, I am VERY pleased and my expectations were exceeded. The hilts feel well made, they have a nice weight to them and feel easy to use. The controls are pretty intuitive given that it is all controlled from a single button. The brightness and sound effects of the blade is also very nice for a starter saber.

If they can improve upon their tracking and updates for customers, I would wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone looking for a saber. I hope to expand my collection in the future!

Stay as far away from this company as…

Stay as far away from this company as you can. From what I’ve read, my experience is very common. I placed an order on their website at the beginning of February 2025. The estimated shipping was the standard 3-5 days. After about two weeks I saw that other people online were told that they were having delays but eventually got the product they ordered. So I decided to wait. As of July 1st 2025 I still had not even gotten a shipping notice for my order. I sent several emails that were ignored. The only communication I ever got from this company was a text message immediately after I placed my order trying to sell me on an insanely overpriced accessory. Put in a dispute with Affirm and two weeks later I’ve just gotten notified by Affirm that they will be reimbursing me the $478 that SWA Sabers scammed me out of.

Best gadget I ever bought

I bought 3 sabers at the latest sale (the 1 +2 offer).
The shipment did not arrive on time (3 weeks delay), but OH BOY the waiting was worth it.
The DuraBlade is indeed durable! My kids and I are using reasonable force during our duels and everything is top notch - the colors (changeable), the light pattern (customizable), the sounds which change while slashing or hitting. It is also possible to change the full sound set according to your preferred Star Wars characters!
The Sabers even play known soundtracks if you wish! I've charged the sabers only once so far (usb-c, simple) and they already delivered hours of fun.
The hilts in my opinion are quite detailed and made out of good materials, they feel good when held.
Overall, one of the best gadgets I ever purchased. Well made, fully customizable and above all - they let you feel a bit like a Force user.

No item arrived.

No item arrived, after a few emails. The seller explained the misleading shipping information on the site. I see a lot of reviewers say they just don’t turn up. I’ve contacted my credit card to make a claim.

The sabres are amazing

The sabres are amazing. I bought a pixel and two durablade sabres as part of a buy 1 get 2 free offer back at the end of May.
Took a few weeks to arrive as it seemed Evri lost the parcel for a while and unfortunately when it arrived all three sabres were durablade.
I contacted them and they told me that they would send out the correct pixel sabre and I could keep the one sent in error.
The correct one arrived today and my son is now jealous as he has one of the durablades and wants to swap.
It’s about £100 more for the pixel sabres but they are really worth it with hundreds of blade styles and colours and completely customizable via the app.
Looks like I’m going to be getting a few more in the near future.

DO NOT BUY from them!!!

DO NOT BUY from them!!!! They steal your money and then ghosts you. They stole $300.00 of my young sons money and we have no product. We ordered early May and it said it was ready for shipping May 25th. We never received a tracking number and all of a sudden I got an email saying we already received the product when we obviously never did. I have emailed them over 10 times trying to get a hold of someone. There’s no number to call either.

Perfect for Battle

Had the chance to do some light saber combat with these and must say they are absolutely great. You can properly get into "character" during battle without the fear of them breaking. Great Sabers
