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.

Easy to order products

Easy to order products, it was worth the wait to get my order, easy to use and you can swing it really hard, and the sound effects are great. I will definitely order more Sabers from you in the future

Couldn't be happier, a great experience

Couldn't be happier with the sabers, the customer service and the entire experience. I had purchased the buy one get two deal and my kids are so happy with them. I plan on purchasing my own now because im jealous of how much fun they are getting from them. The effects, the lights, and the music are all impressive. I sent a few emails to them during the shipping process and they answered me within an hour every time. I even got a discount code for my next purchase!

We paid — SWA Sabers did not deliver

We ordered light sabers on May 7, 2025 and as of today (July 12, 2025) we have yet to receive our order. Upon checking our order status on their website, it says our order has been ready to be shipped since May 20 but has NOT shipped yet.
However, we received an email from SWA Sabers asking us how we like our product. We have emailed numerous times asking about our order, we are receiving no response. They have been paid, we just want the items we ordered.

They are SCAMMERS

They are SCAMMERS! Its been 9 weeks since my order #5718 was placed. The tracking info on their tracking page has not updated since week 3 and still says its waiting from an update from the shipper. I have tried multiple ways to contact them (Email, chat, ect.) with no response at all. At this point I just want a refund! I am now looking into legal options or how to report them to their states authorities.

Waiting for months and no shipment or communication

I've tried contacting SWA Sabers via every method I could find. Website chat, email, ShopApp and have not received any response to date. My Order #5171 placed on April 11 and has never shipped despite being marked on the website as shipped on May 20 without any tracking info. While I know people who have received their sabers I'm starting to suspect this is just a scam and the positive reviews are from a few people who actually received a product.

Super pleased!

Great products, really nice and well made. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but they did communicate with me throughout. To me the price and wait are worth it. Loads of fun. Thanks

Excellent quality products but communication needs improvement

Excellent quality products. I love the darth vader combat saber i bought plus 2 others for free which are also excellent. My biggest gripe and the only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is communication, this company seriously needs to improve its customer service as i was beginning to think I'd been scammed before recieving tracking info as it was out for delivery. The shop app does not work and is a bad choice. So hopefully they improve their communication lines otherwise the only thing i wish my lightsabers had is the duel of the fates song since it plays on some of their ads. But for quality I've never had a better quality saber let alone 3 so i am happy but i understand why people are frustrated with the lack of communication.

Amazing sabers

Amazing sabers. Ordered three of them on June 10 and just got them two days ago. Wish they could have came earlier but I don’t know what exactly goes into the making and shipping of these items. It was worth the wait. Would order from SWA Sabers again!

Ordered 3 months ago, nothing.

Order number 5874.

I ordered the Buy 1 get 2 on May 9th. All I see on the website is "Order Ready on May 20th". After a few weeks of nothing I reached out twice, 2 weeks apart, using the chat function on their website and was told both times my order would "ship out next Wednesday".

I haven't gotten any tracking numbers.

I commented on a SWA Sabers post on FB and they reached out via FB messenger asking for my order number, I gave it to them and haven't heard back since.

On July 3rd I got an email asking me how much I like my Sabers.

I have emailed the company via their info email on their website and hopefully I get a response, because this is getting depressing.

Poor communication

I’m in the same boat as most other people that ordered the buy one get two deal it seems. I ordered on May 10 it’s now July 9 and still nothing no sabers. They only responded to only one email I sent and it was a what’s your order number email. I really want to like this company as I’ve heard they do quality work but my God their customer service is awful. I genuinely don’t mind waiting for quality work but the complete lack of communication is really frustrating and honestly disappointing. My order number is 5891. Hopefully this generates a response. I will happily change this review if I receive an update from SWA and/or my order.

I ordered the 3 for the price of 1…

I ordered the 3 for the price of 1 deal. Incredible product, as good as I could have hoped, looks great and works great. However, it took 40 days to receive my order and the customer service was very slow and poor. Overall, I recommend the product so far, but the wait time wasn’t ideal as it missed the whole of June.

Well worth the wait…

These sabers are really well crafted and sturdy. I bought them as a buy one get two deal and was very happy with the purchase. The shipment took 3-4 weeks to ship out, as stated on the website. So if you don't mind waiting then I seriously recommend purchasing your saber from them. I had trouble operating the saber, so I contacted them on their website and someone responded right away, so customer service is also amazing.

Poor Customer Service

I ordered in May. I understand that there is long wait times for orders to arrive. However, I have sent numerous emails and used the chat functions on the site to try and get updates. The order shows ready to ship since May 25 and I have no response or tracking of any kind. Would not recommend buying from this company.

Amazing Combat Ready Sabers

These sabers are so amazing. I recently got 3 of them and decided to purchase another one. I definitely recommend SWA Sabers as they have a lifetime warranty on their blades and of they break, they can replace it, making me less worried about using it for combat.
