I have this hilt, legacy. It’s very top heavy, don’t even think about putting a 36inch blade on it. It’s better to get two so you can connect them- balances out the weight. The belt clip got annoying so I had to remove that for grip purposes. If you’re going to 2hand this thing and you have small hands like me, you definitely need all the grip you can get. The detail is amazing on this saber though. It is overly big I have to say, but it is a nice display piece. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase. If you’re looking for a slimmer version you can spin with one hand etc, I would recommend buying a custom saber instead of the legacy version.
That’s actually a great point Jason that I don’t think I mention in the video. Connecting two of them really cancels out that super top-heavy feeling. Thanks so much for watching. Really happy to hear that you are enjoying your Cal saber!
I think it looks pretty sweet. Really wish they would up the value by adding to the tech in the hilt a little. Really wish there was some more sound variation and better motion reactivity. I feel like this one would have been a great one to allow you to choose any blade color you want as you could in the game. That feature alone would make it so much cooler
@@orphy6869 I feel like the prices are already extra but yes I hear you. Comparatively to the others if it were a matter of paying a little more… sure. My whole thing is I have an FX lightsaber from 2006 and the motion sensing and sound variation tech used is soo much better than what Disney uses and back when I bought it it was around the same prices they’re asking if not a little less
@@jbischof71 I think the Disney sabers have taken a jump forward recently with the Kestis and Maul sabers...Hopefully they keep working at it and improving them
Hi. About the question which lightsaber is his- Well in the game you take the choice whether do you want to keep as it looks or customise with parts you find along your journey. Also a fun fact that almost no one is talking about is that the parts from Savi’s workshop are part of the customisation parts in the game so in a way every lightsaber from Savi’s is Cal’s 😃.
Addressing your complaint of the size. You have to remember the saber was not made for Cal. it was made Jaro Tapal a Lasat averaging ove 2m tall that's about 7' 5"
Has anyone noticed that when Cere Junda gives Cal her hilt and pulls away her hand, all of the sudden the handle is covered with a white wrap, when it clearly wasn't a moment before? Great video. I was tempted to get this hilt, but didn't for three reasons: 1 it's way too chonky, and 2, the Disney blades are way too loose-fitting to duel with safely. 3, I don't know if they meet the wall thickness requirements of the dueling organization I belong to. Looks great though.
Great review! Showing both positive and negative things 👍🏻 The size and weight sure could be negative if you're going to cosplay with it but seeing that it's made by a Lazat it feels more correct that he would bulk it up a bit to fit his grip better. With that said, the replica actually looks better (except the thickness). MTFBWY
Still don't think it's for me. Actually it makes me wonder. Why doesn't this one change colors like the Clone Wars Ahsoka one? I know in the game, players can customize Cal's Saber. I'm just not feeling it with this one.
Okay I know this video is old now at this point but hear me out. Maybe an “in world” reason we can use (if someone hasn’t already) for why this saber is so beefy, is because it belonged to Jaro Topal and he is HUGE by comparison. It would make a bunch of sense then that this would be a might bit bigger in hand for a human than a Lasat. Think of how a kitana is a relatively narrow pommel and thin long blade. This is more of a bo-staff/pike in diameter and “matches” the blade thickness right??? Okay just wanted to nerd out on this. Sorry if someone already thought of the idea. I didn’t read all the comments.
I like your review. I am new to lightsabers but not new to Star Wars. I know Master Replicas is no longer in business but are there any companies you'd recommend for a good replica to showcase that won't break the bank? Thank you
Hey Jeremy, that’s a great question. Going down the replica path can get mighty expensive. I think my best advice is to try and find an empty 89 sabers hilt, they are almost replica great quality at a fraction of the master replicas price on eBay. Assuming that you don’t want to be able to turn it on, but you could always have it installed. 👍🏻
Thanks for the review brother ! I think I’m just going to be content in just owning my Korbanth Version! I weathered and damaged the hilt myself and it looks great. While I do like some of the elements of Disneys design on this one, I can’t get past how big the hilts are and also up close to the shrouds where the neck is supposed to almost be a Thin neck design it is instead thick . ( Another Disney saber flaw - they haven’t figured out the whole thing neck thing / saber insert length thing yet 🤷🏼♂️) - well at least the Princess had another display emitter piece … I’ll give them that.. but not one to be operational
Recently bought this saber, unfortunately I thought I was buying the color changing version. I still like it, but I’m thinking about doing a neopixel conversion.
Like Anakin's lightsaber became Luke's lightsaber, this lightsaber was handed down from Jaro Tapal to Cal Kestis. It's Cal's saber, guys. Stop fussing over it.
Hey Brice! I will post a short video just for you man, maybe tomorrow. I’m curious now myself. The only question is to buy a CAL saber from galaxies edge or pay a little more for neopixel from Artsabers? 🤷🏼♂️
Hey Albert, that’s a great question. I can say with almost complete certainty that they would not be compatible. Because I remember that the threads on the connectors are very different. But I might just double check when I get home for fun. 😉👍🏻
Cal's 1st lightsaber was his Padawan hilt, that he lost. When double connecting these Legacy hilts, it is 100% Jaro Tapal's lightsaber. Cal received it in single form (battle damaged) from Jaro as he passed. With the ripped end connected, I would still call this "Jaro Tapal (Battle Damaged)". I would then call Cal's completed double with Cere's hilt, Cal's 2nd lightsaber. Cal never used Jaro's connected double as you can buy it/as shown in the video. You can't even make that in the game when selecting parts. Disney seems to think that whoever is currently wielding a saber, it must be theirs. They named Anakin's saber (that Luke also used), "Rey" Legacy. IMO, the naming convention should match the creator of the saber. If Grogu ends up with Yoda's lightsaber, what are they going to call it? Grogu's? Obvious extreme but Disney logic is whack.
just so you know the lightsaber cal uses throughout the game is jaro topal's not his, he combined 2 different lightsabers cere's and topal's near the end of the game on ilum, when you go into the flashback section when order 66 ocurs he drops HIS lightsaber down an elevator shaft on a veniter then jaro topal gives cal his lightsaber, which was shot in half, he keeps it until he rebuild it on kashyyk or dathomir
Absolutely! Did you catch that part of my video? I talked all about it, but I forgot to mention about his Padawan Saber that fell down the dark pit. Ha ha thanks so much for watching
It's missing the silver endcap that screws onto the repaired hilt that is on every other version of the saber. Does anyone know where I can get one that fits?
I’m thinking of picking up this saber and another blade. Should I go for 26 or 36 inches? I wanna do 36, but I’ve heard a few people say 26, so I just want a confirmation.
Update: I am just stupid and realized I wasn't twisting the 36 inch blade once inserted. So a 36 inch WILL fit. However with how top heavy the hilt is, I still recommend a 26 inch. 36 might feel better if you have 2 Kestis sabers connected into a Saberstaff, but I only have the one and cannot confirm
Hahaha… “bulky” is the best word to describe them. But not all of them are. The Luke, Darth Maul, and Obi-Wan Kenobi are great examples of their lighter weight Sabers. 👍🏻
Good question captain, I think it might have something to do with the supply chain issues, there were some mysterious rumors that they have had them in the back storage for a long time. Who knows with Disney, they are so unpredictable.
I just bought a dark maul lightsaber my friend sold me half of it 130 bucks and now I just another half of the lightsaber and I dont have the connector what shoa I do
Hey Jose, I would definitely try to hit up your friend and get that connector from him. But if you buy another Maul or a Shadow Darth Maul, they both come with their own connectors anyway.😉👍🏻
My Cal staff is slightly askew when I connect them :( 😞 Not terrible but kinda irks me, I'm ocd about the little detail especially spending $350 for the Cal staff.
“No fussing… ⚡️ “ 😆😆 I guess I just got a teeny bit sloppy editing that line. 🤷🏼♂️ thanks a lot for watch until the end of our video, we really appreciate that.
Yesss finally everyone likes to argue it’s his masters, yes it Was but he died and as a final goodbye gave it to cal it’s his now he’s used it since the purge making it his so it is his saber.
Hey Matthew, I know exactly what you’re saying. But for some reason gifting a lightsaber in Star Wars doesn’t always seem to win over the fans approval. 🤷🏼♂️
@@FindingTheForce man with ocd it really makes me go insane but you seem to do good on finding people to remake things for you I’m sure you can work it out
Good call captain, I support your choice. Don’t buy into the hype. Paying a little bit more I can get you an awesome neopixel one from Artsabers that is a much more accurate design. 👍🏻

Out of all of my Disney sabers, I think my Cal saber has the best electronics. Much better with swing movements.

I mean, it is supposed to be a staff saber, and it was Jaro Tapal's originally before Cal got what was left. So probably explains the size...kinda.
