How to Make a Lightsaber: Construction Guide

So, you’re ready to wield the weapon of a Jedi…or perhaps a Sith. Whether you are here to channel the Light Side or embrace the Dark Side, learning how to make a lightsaber is the first step in your journey. At Ultrasabers, we’ve helped thousands of fans, duelists, and cosplayers craft their own durable, combat-ready sabers with custom parts and infinite customization options from hilt to blade.

Pair that with our outstanding seats in the SaberForums, where we watch words of wisdom and input fire back and forth through cyberspace from thousands of you diehard saber owners, as well as the overwhelming number of you that send in pictures of yourselves with your sabers in action, and top it off with the notes, suggestions, schematics, and drawings that get posted or sent in daily of your “dream sabers.” You could say that we at Ultrasabers have quite the view on just what each saber says about its owner.

So, how do you build a lightsaber at Ultrasabers? Each custom lightsaber begins with a Star Wars character’s lightsaber, an Ultrasabers original hilt, or blade color in mind to determine your preferred color and feel. With our lightsaber builder online, you can select every component—from hilt to pommel—and create a replica that matches your saber fighting style or character arc. You don’t need to be a Jedi Master to build your lightsaber, but you might feel like one once you ignite your blade.
