hey finding the force can you explain how to change the color of a saber for a font? I cant seem to get it to work for me. I've been able to do pretty much every other command. I got the sn pixel v4 version and I got kyberphonics the return font to play but the blade is red and I have no clue how to change it to green. I assume it has something to do with gesture controls but those have been hit or miss whether or not they work for me. I also want to mention that my blade feels a bit loose while swinging it. Is there a way to tighten it more, It seems the wrench provided stops just a tad early before it feels secure to the hilt. Is it ok to tighten it more with my personal tools I dont want to break it. Maybe I am not installing it correctly? Is it really just 1 small screw to keep it in place? There's 4 more screws in a small plastic bag that came with the saber that look like they can be used but the instructions never mentioned to use them. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
I just purchased my first lightsaber from Artsabers, I got the Darth Vader and I love it! Couple of minor hiccups when I got it but easily fixed and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Thanks for the insight into Artsabers! Great company and awsome customer service! Keep up the great reviews. Definitely looking into the Luke now.
That is so awesome Mark, very happy to hear that. And don’t forget about the one-year warranty! Thank you so much for your support and I love your profile picture by the way. 👍🏻
Hey there. I actually designed this hilt for TXQ. It's actually based on the hilt used in Book of Boba Fett, not The Last Jedi. Story-wise they're the same lightsaber, but there are some differences in the prop hilt.
I find that the Neopixel lightsabers are probably one of the most accurate lightsabers. I remember getting a Luke Skywalker lightsaber as a kid and I loved it a ton. I can’t find it nowadays, I probably lost it lol
Duuude!!! Jared!!!! That is so awesome man! I really hope you love it. I will try to get out a quick instructional video, showing you how to swap out the sound files for the Luke font. It’s super easy. 😉👍🏻
This saber was actually designed by Anakin starkiller, and modeled after the lightsaber we see on Luke’s belt in book of boba fett. Keep up the great work Obi dad!! Love the channel!
Hey Halliwax… thanks for the info man. I didn’t think it was a little too dark to look like the last Jedi. I’ll have to check out some screenshots. Thanks so much for stopping by.
My favorite Luke font is Rescue by KSith. It sounds so good. Better than any Luke font I've heard imo. It's based on Luke's saber from Mando S2 finale. Even has the Force effects of him crushing the dark troopers and the incredible music used in those sequences. Love the vids and keep up the great work! MTFBWY
Regarding your comments on the value of Neopixel vs Galaxy’s Edge or Force FX, I think some buyers just aren’t willing to pay $400 or more for a lightsaber. That was the case for me. I bought a Galaxy’s Edge Kenobi series lightsaber after watching a few videos on it, including yours. It’s the only “nice” saber I own. For me, $250+ is already a lot to spend on a collectible saber. It was hard for me to spend that amount, let alone the asking prices of most Neopixels. I don’t doubt that Neopixels get you more for your money, but I don’t think everyone is going to find the extra features worth it.
Hey ELK, I’m not kidding when I say, I said the exact same thing as you a few years ago. Then, when my saber broke, I found someone who took out the broken electronics and put in neopixel stuff, totally blew my mind!
@@FindingTheForce what do you think of the deal art sabers has right now? Luke Saber Replica - Force FX saber NeoPixel Blade for 149$ with a xenopixel v3. The force fx in this video doesn’t have neopixel or the xenopixel v3 board is this saber on sale a great deal?
After watching you swing this around, it seems like the neo pixel blades have some good flex on them which i wish disney did. I found theirs to be a littel more stiff. Great vid as always im leaning more and more to grab on of these soon!
Hahaha hey bud, I think that actually has more to do with the frame rate on my camera. I promise you the blade is super rigid and has not bend like a banana. Lol.
Had the same one arrive last week. Love it! Only issue is that the "weathering" isn't that as much as a different finish. But nothing that a bit of time with a 3m pad won't fix. :D It just works to well and so easy is operate. Only complaint is that getting the battery out is really hard. So after the first time, I put in a small piece of ribbon under the battery to make it easier to get out.
Yeah, I hope the words I used in the video or that it had a dark weathered. Look to it, just like in the last Jedi, but you are right definitely not aged and scuffed up. Ribbon is an awesome idea! My installer recommends using the Lego brick tool to fish out stubborn batteries. 😆
Yessss!!! that’s awesome dude, I’m super excited for you. The tracking on a lot of my shipments didn’t work but rest assured it will definitely make it to your house. Thank you so much for watching
Just returned my hasbro elite Vader saber as to many little flaws and ordered this as about as much as I could push to, thank you for the discount code
Hey Matt, that is awesome news! I’m so happy for you and I hope you love the saber. Thank you so much for using my discount code. I truly appreciate it. 🙏🏻
Wish I never bought this now, before advertising this company you should make sure they supply all you need, having got into proffie more there is no supplied config file to make it your own and be able to save the original, am selling it on
My friend who owns Flowsaber is sending me one with a neopixel maxed out version like this one you reviewed but it's custom and doesn't look like Luke's. Love the internal tech getting better all the time, nice review!
Hey Josephine, the link to the item and the discount code are in the description of the video. If you look under where the like button is, there should be some wording, and I think you click the more button.
If you can find it, there's a sound font called Daddy Issues that is the perfect Luke Skywalker Ep6 lightsaber sound font. I think it comes with Golden Harvest standard fonts.
If I was to get a Luke Skywalker lightsaber, I would budget for this one. My only problem is the gold/copper color, which was actually more brown on the original prop.
Yeah, it’s tough because there are several different props used in the movie and so many companies have tiny variations. Lol I guess we just have to pick our favorite.
Hello, great review!!! did you make a tutorial about the sound mods??? I'm looking to buy this Lightsaber, but would be great to have that project before pull the trigger on it. Thank you for your great work, it sounds great, have a great day.
I’m new to the lightsaber game and only really want a Luke but I don’t want this weathered look. Are the other ones you showed from neopixle exactly the same just different finishes?
Hey flyers, absolutely! I think my favorite is the silver one that is not extra glossy. When I started enjoying Sabers, I felt the same way you do dude. Thank you so much for watching.
Good review as always thumbs up but I gotta say I still prefer my xeno v2 ROTJ much better. It was also over $100 cheaper. ROTJ Luke is my fav from the movies but my all time favorite is Cal Kestis because I can actually be him in the game
Hey Obi-Dad, nice review! One thing I will say about the blade depth is that most Luke sabers now and thin necks now come with a recessed area in the emitter for the hilt side PCB to sit in so you still get maximum blade depth without needing the extended emitter cup. For something like a MoM of all Heroes, I would still get a recessed blade just to get that lip for more stability, but you still wouldn’t need an extended emitter. By the way, if you’re a fan of the Deleted Cave Scene, I highly suggest getting an Energy Matrix Dampener from WannaWanga👍
Hey trooper, I know exactly what you’re talking about but I’ve never gotten to try one for myself. I think the only downside to those blades be that they’re very hard to come by probably. Would love to try one though. 👍🏻
@@FindingTheForcedon’t know if you will se this but something I thought artsaber did that was cool is if you don’t like the box on the Luke saber they have one with a button
I personally think Proffie is better, it has limitless, customizing possibilities if you’re willing to learn a couple of computer programs. Lots of TH-cam videos out there. I also have a quick hack video. I’m going to make for you guys very soon.
I know this video was from a year ago, but I spent the last few months researching, trying to decide which saber to buy, this video did it for me, I ordered and used your promo, Thanks!! Got the saber a few weeks later, it's amazing, I love it! Thank you for helping me find this one and for the great videos! Question on the screws, Do you only screw in the one screw on the emitter or with the (up to) four screws under the emitter also? Mine is hard to put on the emitter if there are any screws in the underneath part.
@@FindingTheForce Awesome! I ordered one with a SN-pixel because it said in the description that it came with an SD card but when I asked they said it didn’t. I tried to cancel the order but they never got back to me.
@@CaddieSmooth the SN is pretty much the standard version and cheaper right ? Without all the sound effects/touch and swing motion effects.. just looking at the brightness of light/color & is theres a semi loud saber effect when you move the saber at least ?
@@krisgomes8187 There’s 2 versions of the SN-pixel. The V3 which is the one I think I got is pretty basic but it does have 8 ignitions and blade types, 12 sound fonts, lockup, clash, relatively smooth swings. I thought I was getting an SN-pixel 4 which does have a chip for customization. I’m trying to get them to send me a Proffie board but they’re taking forever. This one still is absolutely worth the price imo, the saber is gorgeous.
@@CaddieSmooth i see. So if i went woth the cheapest option id still get A.) Relatively good swing motion B.) Lock up clash etc C.) Good audio and bright light displayed all the way thru the saber also ? And does the blade tend to slide out even after tightening. I know some dont have much of a lip also for the hilt to grasp onto the blade. I heard that 1" or more is what u want ?
Hey Vodun, I think I will man. I hope to get to it this summer, feels like I have so many videos I need to get to. Thank you so much for the comment and for supporting my channel. 🙏🏻
@@FindingTheForce No problem! I figured I'd hit like and subscribe to boost your channel on the algorithm. The production value of these videos is really good, and your reviews are very thorough. Also, the sound that this lightsaber makes when you turn it on is my absolute favorite lightsaber activation sound!
Hey Jader, so many people have been asking for that! I think I’m gonna get on that and record it tomorrow. So many videos on my to do list it’s getting kind of crazy. Lol I promise to come through
@@FindingTheForce it’s alright bud :) I’ve been doing a ton of proffie research for a few weeks! It’s honestly really rewarding! I ordered this saber from ARTSABERS, and it should be here any day now! Thanks for the recommendation. This might be my favorite rendition of Luke’s saber.
Thanks for the video, ended up buying through your link…my first saber. It is a beautiful piece, is it just me or does it feel like the blade is just hanging on? It has five screws but it’s scary tightening them too much, I’m afraid to crack the blade when I hear it start creaking. Maybe it’s because I chose a 36” blade. I also didn’t get that style tool with the handle just and Allen tool, that handle would be nice, it’s not super easy to put the blade on, trying to hold it straight while tightening the screws. Thin neck problems I assume…. Thanks for the review and making me aware this existed.
Hey bud, thank you so much for purchasing the saber through my link, I greatly appreciate the support. Only having 1 inch of blade depth I would highly recommend using smaller blade like 26 inches. The regular Allen tool is a little bit better for beginners because you can feel the tension better with it. Don't be scared to tighten the screw to the blade, you don't wanna take it too much just till it's nice and snug and doesn't wiggle. I really hope you enjoy it bud. Thanks again.
Absolutely! Bam! www.etsy.com/listing/1397862315/jedi-forge-inspired-beskar-ingot?click_key=a734be32f95b4f16a95208d9773d33727e6612a6%3A1397862315&click_sum=b2ddf173&ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&sts=1 Tell him Obi-Dad Kenobi sent you 😉
Hey user, it’s kind of hard to explain, but I promise I will crank out that video in the next couple of weeks. But in order to get to the SD card, you have to pop out the battery and then slide the sound shipped back and should angle up to let you access to the SD card.
I literally just noticed how similar Luke and Obi Wans lightsaber hilts look. Curious if Luke actually used Obi Wans hilt to craft his lightsaber in Return of the Jedi?
One other question for you do you know anyone/if its possible to reverse the weathering on this lightsaber. I want to do the brushed steel look. Unfortunately the other versions of the ROTJ Artsabers don't have the extended emitter cup. And I can't find the info about what the blade depth is on the other ROTJ sabers.
Are there LEDS in the hilt of the neopixel proffie version in addition to the contacts? I have seen stock photos of light coming out of the display emitter.
yeah the initial Luke font you said you didn't like is not actually a Luke font. It's just a default proffie font that comes with the proffie package lol
Hey Mell. That’s a funny answer. I found a favorite blade actually that are pretty lightweight, I mentioned them in my accessories video. And I think they come standard that like around 32 inches which seems like the perfect length for me.
@findingtheforce i bought this artsaber because of your great reviews. Love your content. I have figured out how to put the grumpy unkle font on my saber. Now i just need to figure out how to access the color wheel option i saw u do it fast but couldnt figure it out. Also how do u access the track?
I'm not sure how much you've studied the internals, but from what you've seen, do you think if a person were ambitious, it would be possible to open up the control box, wire in a couple neopixels, and adjust the code to light them up so the buttons light up? For me that is the only thing the artsabers hilt is missing, and if I were able to mod it to have that, it would be the ultimate value in my eyes
I just received my ROTJ hilt from artsabers today, and found a very pleasant surprise: the hilt design must have been modified, because on mine the black buttons are the usable buttons, and the arrows DO light up! I literally shouted out in joy when activated it for the first time. You may need to update your video, lol.
Yeah man, I know what you mean. Having the lights means an extra wire connected to the soundboard. At least on this design, I kind of like using the arrows to operate the Saber.
I would say absolutely. I'd like to call it. Light play fighting. If you're dueling with your friends, you don't need to swim like baseball bats. It's a much better idea to go light and not dish out. Any serious injuries. Ha ha thanks so much for watching.
I got the Prodigal Son from SaberForge. I don't regret the purchase. But, I wish the blade was deeper and had more than one screw. At least this was designed with 1 inch of depth.
Real question, the battery is classified as unprotected, and technically more vulnerable to exploding lol.. any issues so far or worries? Also are you also smacking the chassis against your palm to get the battery out?
Hey bud, that’s a great question. I’m not sure if I would recommend heavy dueling with a Neopixel saber, but some friendly play fighting or light tapping, is no problem. Because the fun of light saber dueling isn’t really to inflict pain but to focus on form and try to gently tag each other.
Great question Chris, sorry for the delay. I was out of town with family. The SN is a decent ship, but Profi has all of the Crazy Blade a Facts. They can’t be programmed to do anything you want. I think the extra few bucks is a good idea.
Daughter Just bought me my first luke saber. With mine being only 2 months after this video I have to ask why is mine so different. It appears to already have 1inch recess blade. It is highly polished and silver, can barely breathe without it getting blemished. On the lower end where the sound effects come from yours has slotted speaker mine has holes in form of 6 sided snowflake. But the biggest difference is that my7 controls appear to be nothing like yours. no arrows or leds. the buttons are under the control grid and on the side of the box it has some sort of lever. Do i have a different version or better version or some overprices neo knockoff
Wanna know something fun? If I’m not mistaken…that lightsaber is one of the models designed by Anakin Starkiller (guy who makes the most accurate lightsabers you’ve ever seen) for TXQ sabers; for which artsabers, kybersabers and a few others are resellers! So that saber you’ve got there, is actually the most accurate luke BOOK OF BOBA FETT design currently on the market, having been designed by Starkiller. It has flaws (Phillips head screws, oversized tri ring, and that hole opposite the control box to hold in electronics, and of course the finish on the saber) but TXQ is gonna be out with another model which is even more accurate!
does sound font mean you can replace any sound it makes with any sound file you can make/upload? i was thinking it'd be funny to have a sword that moaned with pleasure with every hit 😀 things sure have come a long way since i was swinging around a xmas wrapping paper tube...i've been out of the loop for so long
Lol.. pretty much, changing the blade colors in the fax takes a lot more work, but if you replace a file on the SD card and give it the same name, he can play whatever sounds you want.
Is the link in the description the same Like ROTJ as in the video? The Artsabers ROTJ in the video looks a lot darker than whats in the link. Im looking for the dark one like you have in the video.
Question for you, do you have to have the proffie version on the ROTJ saber in order to change the Luke font to your version 2 or can you do it with the regular neo-pixel as well? I got a screaming deal on the neo-pixel compared to the proffie version.

Hey, stop motions, thank you so much for that, that’s super nice of you to say. Your comments are always welcome. 🙏🏻
Regarding your comments on the value of Neopixel vs Galaxy’s Edge or Force FX, I think some buyers just aren’t willing to pay $400 or more for a lightsaber. That was the case for me. I bought a Galaxy’s Edge Kenobi series lightsaber after watching a few videos on it, including yours. It’s the only “nice” saber I own. For me, $250+ is already a lot to spend on a collectible saber. It was hard for me to spend that amount, let alone the asking prices of most Neopixels.

Looks amazing! If only I could justify spending that much 😅
You… are starting a new business reviewing products on a TH-cam channel and me to buy a bunch to get started. 😉👍🏻
I know this video was from a year ago, but I spent the last few months researching, trying to decide which saber to buy, this video did it for me, I ordered and used your promo, Thanks!! Got the saber a few weeks later, it's amazing, I love it! Thank you for helping me find this one and for the great videos! Question on the screws, Do you only screw in the one screw on the emitter or with the (up to) four screws under the emitter also? Mine is hard to put on the emitter if there are any screws in the underneath part.
The weathered version of Luke's Hero lightsaber is a very close second to the V2 for me! You should check out the one from Roman Props.
Just ordered mine, looking forward to that sound font update! That was my only gripe with this saber, looking forward to getting it.
Thank you for the reminder, I promise to get that out to you guys in the next couple of weeks.
@@FindingTheForce Awesome! I ordered one with a SN-pixel because it said in the description that it came with an SD card but when I asked they said it didn’t. I tried to cancel the order but they never got back to me.
@@CaddieSmooth the SN is pretty much the standard version and cheaper right ? Without all the sound effects/touch and swing motion effects.. just looking at the brightness of light/color & is theres a semi loud saber effect when you move the saber at least ?
@@krisgomes8187 There’s 2 versions of the SN-pixel. The V3 which is the one I think I got is pretty basic but it does have 8 ignitions and blade types, 12 sound fonts, lockup, clash, relatively smooth swings. I thought I was getting an SN-pixel 4 which does have a chip for customization. I’m trying to get them to send me a Proffie board but they’re taking forever. This one still is absolutely worth the price imo, the saber is gorgeous.
@@CaddieSmooth i see. So if i went woth the cheapest option id still get A.) Relatively good swing motion B.) Lock up clash etc C.) Good audio and bright light displayed all the way thru the saber also ? And does the blade tend to slide out even after tightening. I know some dont have much of a lip also for the hilt to grasp onto the blade. I heard that 1" or more is what u want ?
2:11 Would love to see this, as well as the history of Anakin/Vader's lightsaber
Hey Vodun, I think I will man. I hope to get to it this summer, feels like I have so many videos I need to get to. Thank you so much for the comment and for supporting my channel. 🙏🏻
@@FindingTheForce No problem! I figured I'd hit like and subscribe to boost your channel on the algorithm. The production value of these videos is really good, and your reviews are very thorough. Also, the sound that this lightsaber makes when you turn it on is my absolute favorite lightsaber activation sound!
Hi my son has been looking for luke skywalker lightsaber but he will have to wait until we move maybe on his birthday in August
Well, this is definitely a great one or the shiny silver one that they sell. Looks pretty awesome too. I wish every kid could have one of these. 😆
Do you have a video showing how to put the better sound fonts? That’s the only thing holding me back from buying this
Hey Jader, so many people have been asking for that! I think I’m gonna get on that and record it tomorrow. So many videos on my to do list it’s getting kind of crazy. Lol I promise to come through
@@FindingTheForce it’s alright bud :) I’ve been doing a ton of proffie research for a few weeks! It’s honestly really rewarding! I ordered this saber from ARTSABERS, and it should be here any day now! Thanks for the recommendation. This might be my favorite rendition of Luke’s saber.
Great video. What size blade do you recommend?
Mobyfox is awesome to! Love your content
I love this lightsaber I think I might get it
Hey Sora. First of all, thank you so much for watching. And I would be honored if you would consider using my discount code. 🙏🏻
I like green color thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Mary for the support. I love the color green as well.
Lots of complaints from people getting broken sabers or not receiving them at all, but Artsabers still takes the money and doesnt refund it.
Never have i been pointed at so much.. i like it
That is a very cool lightsaber I like the accurate sounds very awesome
Thank you so much Will, I’m really excited about it too.😃👍🏻
Outstanding video, outstanding value at now sub-$350. The Seagull is Pelican :) Cheers!
hahaha... Pelica, got it. 😉 thank you so much for the compliment man. I really appreciate it. May the force be with your week!
Thanks for the video, ended up buying through your link…my first saber. It is a beautiful piece, is it just me or does it feel like the blade is just hanging on? It has five screws but it’s scary tightening them too much, I’m afraid to crack the blade when I hear it start creaking. Maybe it’s because I chose a 36” blade. I also didn’t get that style tool with the handle just and Allen tool, that handle would be nice, it’s not super easy to put the blade on, trying to hold it straight while tightening the screws. Thin neck problems I assume…. Thanks for the review and making me aware this existed.
Hey bud, thank you so much for purchasing the saber through my link, I greatly appreciate the support. Only having 1 inch of blade depth I would highly recommend using smaller blade like 26 inches. The regular Allen tool is a little bit better for beginners because you can feel the tension better with it. Don't be scared to tighten the screw to the blade, you don't wanna take it too much just till it's nice and snug and doesn't wiggle. I really hope you enjoy it bud. Thanks again.
I got mine from a different company but it’s easily the best saber I’ve ever owned
Right on Julius, maybe you’ll give Artsabers a shot next time. 😉👍🏻
Can u compare the ARTSABERS Luke lightsaber with the neosabers one I’m tryna see which one is better
Is there a way to get the sound profiles without the dialogue?
Of course. I’m making a tutorial now. 👍🏻
@@FindingTheForce Looking forward to it!
I'm sold but can you replace the voice lines as well?
Absolutely! Keep trying to find time to make the tutorial video for you guys 🤦🏼♂️
can u please please tell me wheree u got the mandaalorian display from
Absolutely! Bam! www.etsy.com/listing/1397862315/jedi-forge-inspired-beskar-ingot?click_key=a734be32f95b4f16a95208d9773d33727e6612a6%3A1397862315&click_sum=b2ddf173&ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&sts=1
Tell him Obi-Dad Kenobi sent you 😉
Do you recommend neopixle or Proffie 2.2 for electronics
Just got one. How do you add sound fonts, cant access the card
Hey user, it’s kind of hard to explain, but I promise I will crank out that video in the next couple of weeks. But in order to get to the SD card, you have to pop out the battery and then slide the sound shipped back and should angle up to let you access to the SD card.
I literally just noticed how similar Luke and Obi Wans lightsaber hilts look. Curious if Luke actually used Obi Wans hilt to craft his lightsaber in Return of the Jedi?
Hey Jack, actually, they took Obi-Wan’s saber from episode four, and dressed it up to be Luke’s stunt saber in episode six. You have good eyes bud.
One other question for you do you know anyone/if its possible to reverse the weathering on this lightsaber. I want to do the brushed steel look.
Unfortunately the other versions of the ROTJ Artsabers don't have the extended emitter cup. And I can't find the info about what the blade depth is on the other ROTJ sabers.
Are there LEDS in the hilt of the neopixel proffie version in addition to the contacts? I have seen stock photos of light coming out of the display emitter.
yeah the initial Luke font you said you didn't like is not actually a Luke font. It's just a default proffie font that comes with the proffie package lol
How do you check the battery level?
What is your go to for blade length?
Hey Mell. That’s a funny answer. I found a favorite blade actually that are pretty lightweight, I mentioned them in my accessories video. And I think they come standard that like around 32 inches which seems like the perfect length for me.
@findingtheforce i bought this artsaber because of your great reviews. Love your content. I have figured out how to put the grumpy unkle font on my saber. Now i just need to figure out how to access the color wheel option i saw u do it fast but couldnt figure it out. Also how do u access the track?
Nice. I actually like this new one because then you can kinda weather it yourself if it lets you to =]
Absolutely, think of it as being like halfway weathered for you. Ha ha thank you so much for watching.
I'm not sure how much you've studied the internals, but from what you've seen, do you think if a person were ambitious, it would be possible to open up the control box, wire in a couple neopixels, and adjust the code to light them up so the buttons light up? For me that is the only thing the artsabers hilt is missing, and if I were able to mod it to have that, it would be the ultimate value in my eyes
I just received my ROTJ hilt from artsabers today, and found a very pleasant surprise: the hilt design must have been modified, because on mine the black buttons are the usable buttons, and the arrows DO light up! I literally shouted out in joy when activated it for the first time. You may need to update your video, lol.
Hey Matt, I love to hear that man. So happy and I hope you love your Saber. 👍🏻
Yeah man, I know what you mean. Having the lights means an extra wire connected to the soundboard. At least on this design, I kind of like using the arrows to operate the Saber.
Are they capable of light impacts in mock combat? Duel-ready, I think is the phrase.
I would say absolutely. I'd like to call it. Light play fighting. If you're dueling with your friends, you don't need to swim like baseball bats. It's a much better idea to go light and not dish out. Any serious injuries. Ha ha thanks so much for watching.
I got the Prodigal Son from SaberForge. I don't regret the purchase. But, I wish the blade was deeper and had more than one screw. At least this was designed with 1 inch of depth.
Where is this saber from, I want the blinking lights...
How many sound Fonts does the saber come with pre installed?
@ClickOnProfile3n no way
Real question, the battery is classified as unprotected, and technically more vulnerable to exploding lol.. any issues so far or worries? Also are you also smacking the chassis against your palm to get the battery out?
How is it in terms of holding? Ive always been worries about the emitter box making it tough to hold one-handed
Oh no, it’s perfect for one and even two hands. The corners in a box or sharp but you get used to it. 😉
@@FindingTheForce awesome thank you! Do you know how long the hilt is? Minus blade, just the hilt
@Finding The Force I just ordered it! And your discount code saved me almost $18! Thanks so much man. Cheers 😃👊✌️
Can you duel with it? Like can it withstand heavy dueling? Or do they have a baselit one so that I can duel with it without damaging the electronics.
Hey bud, that’s a great question. I’m not sure if I would recommend heavy dueling with a Neopixel saber, but some friendly play fighting or light tapping, is no problem. Because the fun of light saber dueling isn’t really to inflict pain but to focus on form and try to gently tag each other.
@@FindingTheForce Thanks! That's really helpful. Do you also happen to know if they had a base lit version of this saber?
What does the Code do?
My extra discount code? Gives you a discount. Ha ha thanks for watching man.
@@FindingTheForce how much is the discount for and good vid I've been wanting Lukes lightsaber
So I'm looking to order my first one using your code! Question, what is the difference between SN-Neopixel vs Proffie 2.2?? Worth the extra few bucks?
Great question Chris, sorry for the delay. I was out of town with family. The SN is a decent ship, but Profi has all of the Crazy Blade a Facts. They can’t be programmed to do anything you want. I think the extra few bucks is a good idea.
I need this after Galaxy’s Edge sent me a broken one, then a wrong one. Refund time. Need this one.
Daughter Just bought me my first luke saber. With mine being only 2 months after this video I have to ask why is mine so different. It appears to already have 1inch recess blade. It is highly polished and silver, can barely breathe without it getting blemished. On the lower end where the sound effects come from yours has slotted speaker mine has holes in form of 6 sided snowflake. But the biggest difference is that my7 controls appear to be nothing like yours. no arrows or leds. the buttons are under the control grid and on the side of the box it has some sort of lever. Do i have a different version or better version or some overprices neo knockoff
Wanna know something fun? If I’m not mistaken…that lightsaber is one of the models designed by Anakin Starkiller (guy who makes the most accurate lightsabers you’ve ever seen) for TXQ sabers; for which artsabers, kybersabers and a few others are resellers! So that saber you’ve got there, is actually the most accurate luke BOOK OF BOBA FETT design currently on the market, having been designed by Starkiller. It has flaws (Phillips head screws, oversized tri ring, and that hole opposite the control box to hold in electronics, and of course the finish on the saber) but TXQ is gonna be out with another model which is even more accurate!
Dang Alex, sounds like you really know your stuff. Even I get the manufactures names mixed up. Thanks so much for watching man.
hey, i have a question that artsabers didnt answer me yet. Do they include the usb adapter that you need to install more soundfonts on the sd card?
Hey bud, most of the time I believe they do. But getting an adapter for a micro USB is super cheap on Amazon👍🏻
@@FindingTheForcealright thanks for the quick respond! i'm about to buy a lightsaber and i just hope they do include it ^^
Where did you get your obi wan and qui gon in the back?
Hey Nick, thanks for asking man. Both of those sabers are from Galaxy's Edge. 👍🏻
does sound font mean you can replace any sound it makes with any sound file you can make/upload? i was thinking it'd be funny to have a sword that moaned with pleasure with every hit 😀
things sure have come a long way since i was swinging around a xmas wrapping paper tube...i've been out of the loop for so long
Lol..
pretty much, changing the blade colors in the fax takes a lot more work, but if you replace a file on the SD card and give it the same name, he can play whatever sounds you want.
Is the link in the description the same Like ROTJ as in the video? The Artsabers ROTJ in the video looks a lot darker than whats in the link. Im looking for the dark one like you have in the video.
looks amazing, does anyone know if there is a blade plug for these
Hey Colin! Actually, it comes with a whole display emitter! EVEN BETTER! haha.. but it might come with an extra blade plug, can't remember. 😆
Is it the same as saberspros sN pixel v4 luke saber?
Not sure man, but this one has a Proffie soundboard, which is known to be the best!
Thanks
Your great a fan service
You're killing me with the jokes man I had to pause the vid hahaha
😆😆🙌🏻🙌🏻 Yesss… love hearing that. You just made my afternoon, thank you for the support.
The website does not mention gesture controls, does it come on all neopixel luke models?
Question for you, do you have to have the proffie version on the ROTJ saber in order to change the Luke font to your version 2 or can you do it with the regular neo-pixel as well? I got a screaming deal on the neo-pixel compared to the proffie version.
This lightsaber is too fine
😆😆 do you have a good taste bud, thank you so much for watching.
