A elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

We’ve now learned that the weathering on Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber was from it sitting in the desert for 10 years.

An elegant replica, for a more civilized age.

Master Replicas was the best, hands down. I still use my Luke Skywalker's Force FX lightsaber, which I bought back in 2004. The quality is still amazing to this day. I really hope to get my hands on Obi-Wan's new Force FX lightsaber, but I think Master Replicas version would be much better.

Congratulations brother!!! I am so stoked for you, Master Replicas were the best, always dreamed of their pieces, like you said as a kid they were basically unattainable. It is absolutely gorgeous!!

Kenobi’s lightsaber is probably one of my all time favorites, this is awesome!🤙🏼

Absolutely love seeing a good brother like yourself doing well and having the opportunity to share these pieces with us 🙏🏽

Dude, I’m genuinely happy for you. That is an absolutely gorgeous piece of SW lore. You deserve it

Nice. I highly recommend ’Roman Props’ for the most accurate version of the hilt.

THATS SO COOL THEORY

You give me so much joy at your own expense with these videos😂. I wish you made more of them but it does make it very special when you do release a new one. It will make a fine addition to your collection! Thank you!

The "finned" piece in front of the pommel, before the graflex band is the rear portion of a aircraft machine gun from WW2. The emitter is from a Rolls-Royce jet engine. The IG-88 head is part of the same aircraft engine.

Qui Gons saber is easily my favorite. it harkens back to a time when I was just a kid and thought it was so insane that they had red activation buttons. such a departure from the OT designs. His and Obi's tpm hilts are like the quintessential prequel hilts for me. much love Theory

Wow! That saber is gorgeous! The detailing on it is amazing.

You being so humble and grateful from your fans makes me love you even more. Thank you for the content bro

Before reading the video title, I actually thought you were unboxing Luke’s ROTJ saber-the resemblance between his and OWK’s is uncanny. Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing some of your other collectibles with us too!

The idea of combining all these elements to build these props was genius. Star Wars 1977 was something special.

It’s great. Obi-Wan’s weathered lightsaber hilt is like a perfect parallel to what he personally goes through as one of the greatest Jedi to live!!

This will make a fine addition to your collection. **coughs up a lung**

I would love to have Mace Windu's battle damaged LS. That Obi Wan is absolutely SICK.

Anakin is forever my favorite but I can’t deny how much more I like the look of Obi’s saber 😝👏

Congratulations on your purchase. May it bring you fond memories in the days months and years to come. May the force be with you sir. Thanks for the video.

At the end, you talked about shelves. If you were to turn those cabinets into shelves, you could paint them a matte black with spray painting white stars on it. There are tutorials on how to make stars with spray paint and it looks pretty nice. then you could get a deep blue or violet led strip for back lighting on the sabers. BTW Obi-Wan's saber is my favorite. Idk if its just bias because Obi-Wan is my favorite character or not. Beautiful prop tho.

I used to check these out at a prop store in SF on Pier 39. As I too was a child in the early 2000’s these were a bit out of my price range. I really wish I had just saved up and bought one.

8:05 That wonderful feeling when you first pull one of these collectibles out and see what you really got your hands on. I bought four pieces with some tax return money from Master Replicas back in 2006/2007, and it was the only time I've ever let myself spend that kind of money on any type of collectible. I got Anakin's saber, the Darth Vader saber they released at the time, the Han Solo blaster and a Stormtrooper rifle. The detail and quality of Master Replicas stuff is truly unique. Happy for you SWT! That Obi Wan saber is gorgeous. I have to agree about the damage detail, it's fantastic. Congratulations and thanks for the video. :)

The synopsis was interesting. Obi-Wan as I understand it wasn’t a master in episode 2, he was given the rank when Anakin reached Jedi Knight between 2 and 3. So in 2003, this was right for prequel Kenobi to that point. But incorrect against what we know of OT Kenobi in 4-6. I can kind of forgive it, but you do expect the attention to detail to extend to the synopsis.

5000$! That lightsaber better cut through concrete.

Damn I want a lightsaber collection so bad but they are so PRICEY. I don't even know where to start either. Would I get Anakin's saber first, or Ahsoka Tano's sabers, and if so would I get her Clone Wars sabers the shota and regular saber, which are both so cool with the green and almost yellow color scheme, or the cool asf white blades, there's of course Obi-Wan's saber...Rey's saber is pretty sweet too ngl. Being a nerd is an expensive endeavor lol.

I’ve always wanted obi’s, but my little child brain couldn’t resist all that chrome on anakins saber. Anyone ever got there lightsaber from a RadioShack too? XD

You’re becoming an American!? That’s great! We welcome you with open arms. Love the hats btw

Master Replicas actually made 2 versions of this lightsaber. They made this one which is the "Weathered" version and then they made a pristine version called "AFBB - As First Built By" which was not seen in any films. The "AFBB" was the lowest run of any lightsabers they made with an edition size of 500. I actually have this lightsaber you're reviewing. I got mine factory new and it's number 2/2500! The clear plastic piece you see is actually the plaque holder. Master Replicas used this style of plaque holder along with the earlier type of display cases in their early runs, and then switched over to the newer style of plaque, plaque holder, and display case in mid-2003. The previous owner of your lightsaber put the plaque on the newer style of plaque holder they probably got second hand, and kept the original acrylic plaque holder wrapped up. I was also fortunate enough to pick up a sealed factory new Master Replicas Mace Windu Episode II Signature Edition lightsaber. I haven't opened it and probably won't until I have a Star Wars room. You can never have enough in your collection haha! By the way, I hope you didn't actually pay $5000 for that man, that's extremely over priced! Great video though!

I absolutely cannot wait to inbox my first Sabre. It must be wild unboxing something from an era, and a company that no longer exists. Beautiful Sabre 🔥

That's an incredible find. Hopefully you can get a ROTS version. Jedi Knight is a rank in the Order, yes. But Jedi Knight is also just a generic term for Jedi throughout the Galaxy. Note TPM Anakin asks Qui-Gon "You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?" Qui-Gon doesn't go "No, I'm a Jedi Master"

Qui-Gon's saber is my favorite however I've always had a thing for obi-wan and lukes design

Hey Theory, I want to personally thank you for these videos. I have wanted a Saber of any kind for all my life ,but I simply can't afford one in all honesty ,so your videos give an experience of getting one. Also you care about S.W. like I do so I can enjoy watching you add to an awesome collection without feeling envy bc I know you appreciate every single piece. I'm truly happy for your success bc you're kind enough to share the experience with us. May the force be with you bud.

Oh man, I Loved QuiGons saber. It totally captured that thrill of being the golden age of Jedi refinement.

Ah yes a Jedi’s weapon. A fine addition to your collection.

Very impressive saber!!!

Love these types of videos and love seeing inside your beautiful home! Would love to do a Star Wars watch party in that basement theater!

Watching this reminded me when I opened my own one of these about 20yrs ago. Amazing.

That looks incredible! Even though I haven’t been blown away by the Kenobi series yet, I’m still always looking forward to your watch parties man. You’ll always be my favorite Star Wars KZfaqr dude. Ignore all of the haters and Twitter SJW’s calling you toxic and all that bs. Unfortunately, having expectations and standards for Star Wars is apparently “toxic” these days. SMH Even though this series hasn’t really impressed me so far, I’m still hoping that these last 2 episodes are going to be bangers. Can’t wait for tomorrow night’s watch party!😁

**General Grievous heavy coughing**

Obi wan’s lightsaber looks awesome, It’s amazing you were able to track one down.Great video as always Theory.Congratulations on your channel getting over 1 billion views, well deserved.😎😎👌👌

Love the beard man it suits you!! Besides that, I love your video's. Keep up the good work ❤️

Theory’s coming to America!!! 🇺🇸😊🎉 We need to have a meet up sometime whenever you move to the States… Fan Meetup? Also I love your content, you have been such an inspiration for me! You have always given me something to look forward to when I am having a bad day, and I greatly appreciate you and all that you do! Congratulations on your success! Thank You!

I respect the fact that you are building up on your MR collection, which started with your Sidious hilt if I am not mistaken. For other people though, these are rare and very expensive (MR shut down over a decade ago). You can buy a screen accurate replica of any saber from either Korbanth, KR Sabers, the Pach Store or SP Sabers.

I am pleased you got it.. some people only dream of owning something like that and if anyone has earned the right to own it.. it would be you.. arguably one of the greatest Star Wars fans out there!!

That is the best hat design I’ve ever seen, awesome work!!! I for sure have to get one!

I just dropped $245 on a Xenopixel lightsaber. I hope to one day get a proffie!

I love how they weathered it! Disney should take notes!

Dude! That’s sick! Love the lightsaber man, great unboxing!

"DO IT!" OMG, I love Ian. I would die. I'm so jealous. That's such a great way for him to personalize it too!

You have the most awesome items . Am glad you share them every chance you do ... those hilts are so wild .. a once grenade and transistor bits. .. yay that's dope ... can't wait to see the next one ...

5000?!

How could Luke's saber be battle damaged by electrocution if he tossed the saber aside before the Emperor started electrocuting him?

congrats on the saber and over a billion views, proud to be part of this and a few of those views, congrats man!

Lovely saber and congrats on the billion love this channel followed it for years 😎

I still have no idea Why obi wan sold his lightsaber. How he's gonna fight then

Dude! Awesome! I’m jealous! But very happy for you! Great addition to your ever growing lightsaber collection! Best of wishes to you theory. And I am excited for the upcoming Kenobi Watch Party! Peace, Bro!

OH! Hello there. This is from the good old days and really as you said, THE Company... Bloody cool, my friend! Lovely quality.

There isn’t many KZfaqrs that seem genuine. Thanks for being a real one brother.

I love these unboxings man. Never stop doing them!

That is so cool, I bet you be must be proud for collecting that lightsaber. That's really great!

That will make a fine addition to your collection, and keep all of the original wrapping it adds the value to it

*Waiter:* And what will you be having today, sir? *Palpatine:* Ooorder 66! *Waiter:* Very good, sir.

10:24 I choked up, my childhood flashed before my eyes, the memories I have with this franchise.

Man I miss these days from master replicas my grandma got me Anakin’s when I turned 7 I was literally the most exited I have ever been.

OMG your star lit ceiling is goals! So awesome!

Love kenobi’s lightsaber. The thin emitter and the pattern in the grip is just my type of lightsaber hilt

8:21 "With my own eyes." The collection looks mighty fine too.

I’ve been waiting for one of these for so long! Dope hilt

SWT talkin to that saber like “let me look on you with my own eyes..” that thing is a beauty!

“I can’t wait to inspect this with my own eyes” Theory’s inner Vader talking.

Thats a beautiful saber and box and.....that's a fine addition to your collection...general grievous voice lol

Master Replicas made the best lightsabers ever. The Kenobi weathered from ANH has always been my most wanted. I have Kenobi's from Episodes I and III.

Very Beautiful! A Truly great work of Art. I'm jealous lol May The Force be with you ! 😊😆👌👍🍁♈

A fine addition to your collection Love the unboxing/ lightsaber reviews

Very cool piece. My favourite is still your Anakin Lightsaber though. The design is so sleek and utterly beautiful.

I remember seeing this on display as a kid at star wars celebration 3 in florida. Beautiful!

That small acrylic stand was used when the plaques were just the metal ones so we would stick the plaque on there. I have several of those which were used on some of the earlier models then they transitioned Into that plastic stands. Probably with production they just included that acrylic stand. That hilt was produced in a transition phase.

Hey Theory. I just wanna say thank you. At the moment it feels like everyone has just blocked me out of their life, but star wars and YOU keep me going, so from the bottom of my heart thank you so much, your fans love you so much ❤️

Omg I want that mancave! Love your videos man, keep up the good work!

I lost it when he said “ASMR ACTION”. 🤣

The clear acrylic “V” shaped piece was the original plaque stand. Many collectors replaced them with the newer plaque stand like the one your plaque is on.

Fun fact, the saber Obi-Wan is using in the show is a mash up of sorts between his ROTS and ANH saber. Everything but the emitter is ROTS and the emitter (which in real life was a balance pipe off a Rolls Royce derwent jet engine) is from his ANH version of the saber. On the ANH saber, the part after the sink knob (Armitage Shanks sinks) and before the graflex band was from a machine gun from a WW2 fighter. The activator is a bubble strip from a 1970s exacta calculator. And the thin neck part after the grenade section is part of a wind vane.

This, my man, is the content and the joy I subbed to you for.

That’s awesome man! I have Qui Gonn’s Master Replica and I love it

On first look it just looks old, until you realize that is was made to look that way and is in pristine condition, incredible work from master replicas

This is sooo cool good for you bro! Great vid!

Watching your success has been an inspiration man, keep up the great content my friend!!!

@1:57, I'm glad you clarified it was $500 instead of $5000, that makes the price a lot more understandable

That is absolutely awesome! I’m happy for you man.

Very beautiful replica saber indeed! Kenobi‘s saber emitter was made from part of a balance shaft from a Rolls-Royce jet turbine engine

$5000!!! I wish I had that laying around, that thing is a beauty. Probably my favourite lightsaber too, or at least top 5.

Hey Star Wars theory just wanted to say I love you videos all of them I’ve watched you for about 4 years now I always whatch you keep up the good work

Congrats on the new addition ! I was lucky enough to be able to get all the MR sabers and blasters back when they were still in that 300-500 dollar range including a number of the signature ones. The NH version is by far the most distinctive one and just oozes character by virtual of being battered and showing the hard life of a jedi's weapon over the decades. It really mirrors it's owner at that point in his life. Luke's ROTJ V2 version is also a bit beaten but not to the same level of detailing. Mostly cosmetic. SPOILER : Yoda's clone saber is REALLY not wore . Just a few scrapes but I guess MR just wanted something from the movie for him. Maul's battle damaged piece is pretty cool because it has the crystal in the end of the hilt. If you're going for the really rare one look for the As First Built Kenobi saber. It had a production run of only 500 worldwide and is the holy grail of these MR props (hand weapons any ways). I managed to get my hands on # 466 (before anyone asks NO I'm never selling mine). It's just as the name says , all pretty shiny. So a great "before" piece for comparison. Lastly, I would recommend that if you are going to continue collecting these, as I suspect you are, invest in a dedicated glass shelving setup to display them properly side-by-side on multiple levels to show off these incredible works of craftsmanship. Make sure it's heavy tempered glass and four(or more!) screw shelf brackets to support the weight ! Only had to make that mistake once with the Gentle Giant busts... Best of luck in getting the rest of these works of art.

That ceiling for the lightsaber room crazy! I could stare at the blue dots all day

Obi Wan's lightsaber is actually my favorite lightsaber, so happy to see Theory reviewing it!
