GamesRadar+ can exclusively reveal a new replica Star Wars Lightsaber, and it honors a Jedi who hasn't necessarily gotten the attention he deserves.
OK, look. I wouldn't say Master Sol from The Acolyte was perfect. "Inadvertently obliterating a family just minding their own business" and "lying to your padawan like there's no tomorrow" are marks against him, I'll admit. But there's no arguing with actor Lee Jung-jae's excellent performance, and the stoic Jedi ended up being one of the best bits about that show. That's why this new Master Sol Star Wars Lightsaber is so appealing.
It weighs in at $159.99 via Disney Store or £140 at Disney Store UK. I was able to get my hands on it when I visited Disney HQ in London earlier this year, and as you'd expect from the Legacy range, it's incredibly detailed up-close. Heavy weathering, those distinctive burns at the end of the emitter, and the rugged leather-effect handle make it feel surprisingly real. Being constructed of actual metal and rubber, just like the prop would have been, gives it a real heft, too. Pick it up and you'll feel like it's the genuine article.
As with many other Disney Store sabers, this one comes in an in-universe case furnished with fabric on the inside and a High Republic theme for the catch. Similarly, you can also add a blade to the hilt if you want to take it for a spin – Sol's saber is activated by a button hidden in the leather-effect hilt.
Keep an eye out if you want to add it to your collection… or save space for this new Star Wars toy that I'm obsessed with.
Here's the official description from Disney.
