Lightsabers are one of the most recognizable weapons in the world, and the Star Wars franchise has captured the imagination of an entire generation. In the galaxy far, far away, prospective Jedi padawans and Sith apprentices alike are expected to craft their own lightsabers to properly complete their training in the use of the Force.
Now you can do the same by building your own custom lightsaber right here on Ultrasabers.com! In this section, we’ll explore the most popular components in more detail—covering each key part that goes into constructing a custom lightsaber. From emitters and lightsaber hilts to electronics and saber sound effects, when building a saber, every element contributes to performance, balance, and style.
While you can add accessories and decorative embellishments, you’ll need all the following parts to complete the process of lightsaber construction:
Lightsaber Body
The lightsaber body, also known as the grip or handle, is the main housing for your lightsaber electronics, as well as the section you will hold during melee combat. When you make your own lightsaber, the bodies come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and button configurations, so when building your own lightsaber, be sure to choose a body that provides solid control and a comfortable grip for your fingers!
Lightsaber Emitter
In the Star Wars universe, the emitter is the section that produces the plasma blade we all know and love. The lightsaber emitter is the piece that will hold your blade and guard your fingers against your opponents. Some models of lightsabers, such as the War Glaive or Raven Lightsaber, include an additional claw component on the emitter.
Lightsaber Pommel
Also known as the end cap or butt, the lightsaber pommel is located on the bottom of the housing body and holds the electronics and batteries in place. Most pommels screw off to allow easy replacement of batteries after a long bout of saber combat. When you construct your own lightsaber, choose a pommel that matches your design and provides easy access to your internal components.
Lightsaber Couplers
Most models of our lightsabers can be linked, allowing you to build your own lightsaber staff or double-bladed lightsaber. The quick-release lightsaber coupler (or connector) holds two lightsabers that are easily separated, so you can switch to duel-wielded lightsabers without dismantling them (note that these quick-release couplers are not for use with all models of lightsabers). It can be easily removed, allowing you to resume dual-wielding your sabers.
Lightsaber Electronics
Your lightsaber’s electronic components determine its color, what type of battery powers it, and what kind of switch it has. When you start building a custom lightsaber, you can select everything from battery chargers to dummy cells for added balance without active power.
Lightsaber Sound Accessories
Here you’ll find lightsaber sound accessories with options for battery holders and speakers, as well as USB cords that allow you to upload sound profiles to your lightsaber soundboard.
Custom Lightsaber Build FAQs
How long does it take to build your own lightsaber?
Assembly time varies depending on the customization level and your skill level. You can build your own custom lightsaber in as little as 10 minutes or as much as a few hours for designs with many details. Simple builds can take 10–30 minutes, while advanced Neopixel lightsabers or sound-enabled sabers may take longer due to the elements involved.
Is the lightsaber building experience worth the cost?
The beauty of building your own lightsaber at Ultrasabers is that our parts catalog lets you customize every detail: color, sound, hilt design, and accessories to create a one-of-a-kind saber that meets your demands for display, saber dueling, or accurate costumes and cosplay.
What are the best and rarest lightsaber colors?
Popular saber colors, especially when it comes to the meanings behind them, include blue blades, green blades, and red blades, while rarer hues like purple, yellow, and white lightsabers are highly sought after. See all of our lightsaber color options to pick your favorite.
What’s the difference between base-lit and Neopixel sabers?
Base-lit, or in-hilt LED, sabers use a single LED module housed in the hilt, producing a classic glow that’s bright and durable for heavy dueling. Neopixel Lightsabers, on the other hand, feature LEDs along the entire blade for ultra-realistic lighting effects, smoother ignition, and customizable colors. Choose base-lit for durability or Neopixel for cinematic realism, as both have a lot to offer! Don’t want to start from scratch? Explore our built-to-order custom lightsabers.
How do you care for a lightsaber replica?
Building a lightsaber is only half the battle. Your lightsaber blade and other lightsaber parts can last a lifetime with the proper maintenance.
