Exclusive: Hasbro just dropped its most impressive Star Wars Black Series Force FX Elite lightsaber
- Baylan Skoll’s lightsaber heralds a few firsts
- It is the first Black Series Force FX Lightsaber with a red-orange color
- Hasbro’s latest creation is super high-tech for an immersive experience
Star Wars Ahsoka has us all captivated on Disney Plus, and while we wait for a second season, the second release in Hasbro’s ‘Gift the Galaxy’ lets you own an iconic piece from the show.
A figure of power and intrigue, not quite a Sith but also not-not-friends-with-Jedi, Baylan Skoll left an indelible mark on the Ahsoka story with his iconic red and orange lightsaber. A nod to his complex intentions, this unique color sets his lightsaber apart from the traditional Sith red, sparking curiosity and excitement among fans.
You can now own Skoll’s iconic lightsaber with Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Black Series Force FX Elite Baylan Skoll Lightstaber. It will cost $249.99 with a ship time of ‘Spring 2025’ (probably March, April or May of next year) and goes on pre-sale tomorrow at 1pm ET. Hasbro pulse And Amazon.
It marks a major first for Habsro’s Black Series Force FX Lightsabers and is the largest handle in the lineup. It will not only be screen accurate in terms of all the details, but also in terms of size. Unlike Sith sabers of the past, including Darth Vader’s, this is not a true, bold red, but rather Skoll’s saber is red-orange and the first time this color has been offered in Hasbro’s Ultimate lineup.
A testament to his formidable skills in the show, Baylan Skoll’s lightsaber is a powerhouse with advanced features. With a built-in speaker that delivers custom sound effects and multiple arrays of advanced LEDs, this promises to be the most realistic Star Wars lightsaber yet. The progressive ignition and full battle sequence mode for role-playing elements, melee combat, blaster effects and a wall-cutting effect create an immersive experience.
Suffice to say, much like his skills in the show, this is a pretty stacked lightsaber with an excellent looking hilt. As with other Force FX lightsabers, you get a stand in the box on which you can proudly display the hilt, but the blade can easily be attached if necessary.
It’s great to see Hasbro ushering in Baylan Skoll’s lightsaber. While we all wait for new Star Wars movies and TV shows to binge – Skeleton crew is the next one – and Ahsokas second season, this will be a great way to pass the time.
With ‘Gift the Galaxy’ underway, you can expect to see even more products showcasing the entire Star Wars universe, and if you’re a subscriber to Disney Plus, you can enter to win a Star Wars prize pack to win or a trip to Star Wars Celebration in Japan here.
Hasbro will begin pre-orders of Star Wars: The Black Series Force FX Elite Baylan Skoll Lightstaber on November 20, 2024 at 1:00 PM ET on Hasbro’s official website. Hasbro Pulse Online Store and on Amazon.
