Lightsaber Emitters

When building your own lightsaber, the lightsaber emitter you choose can make your weapon look as dangerous or as mysterious as its wielder. With a variety of lightsaber emitter designs available, you can create a saber that suits both your style and combat needs.

Sometimes called a “Blade Holder”, emitters will adorn the top of your hilt and come in many different styles.

Custom Lightsaber Emitters

The emitter is where the blade emerges from the hilt, and its design can impact how you fight. Some emitters even allow you to add claws or additional blades, making your lightsaber more imposing or functional when not ignited. You can also mix and match lightsaber emitter parts with different empty hilts and pommels to craft your ideal lightsaber. Just remember, not all hilts are MHS (Modular Hilt System) compatible, so be sure to check for compatibility before ordering to ensure the right fit for your saber.

Lightsaber Emitters in Lore

In Star Wars Legends, lightsaber emitters project the blade by focusing plasma energy through an emitter matrix. Emitters often contain circuits to control blade length and intensity, and can be customized with features like claws or shrouds for protection and added flair. Specific emitters, such as the fencing or deflection emitters, offer tactical advantages in combat, while others, like a disrupting emitter, cause severe effects like paralysis. Customizations like shrouds or blade guards help protect the wielder while adding aesthetic and functional elements to the lightsaber.
