9 Yoda Lightsaber Review

Channel your inner Jedai and escape to the iconic Star Wars world with this amazing Yoda Lightsaber. Whether you wish to recreate scenes from the movie or add your own creative battles, this powerful weapon of Master Yoda will enchant you and carry you into the planets beyond.

Fully charged with force, the lightsaber features slick green light, sound effects, and a powerful Kyber crystal.

The Yoda lightsaber is also a great collector’s item and comes complete with the stand. You can display it right next to your Star Wars custom bobbleheads or any other collectibles you have from Star Wars.

What’s in the Yoda Lightsaber box?

If unboxing is still a thing, then you will be excited to know what you get when you purchase this Jedai weapon.

Hilt: What would a lightsaber be without the hilt? This one is very realistic, considering it is Yodas. It is much smaller than the other Lightsabers and designed to be light and easy to carry and swing around. On it are the control buttons to activate or deactivate the saber and play sound effects.

Hilt stand: You can proudly display your hilt on a shelf, table, or wherever you choose. The Hilt stand is custom-designed for the hilt, but you can also have it displayed with the blade.

Blade: The blade is detachable but easy to screw on and off. It is a luminous led blade just like the one Yoda had in Star Wars. When activated, it is a realistic luminous green blade.

Rechargeable battery: It is impressive how light the rechargeable battery is. It goes into the Hilt, but hardly adds much weight to the blade. Depending on the model, the battery can be used between 1 hour and 4 hours. It also takes about 2 hours to be fully charged.

Charger: The charger is included in the box. It is a USB charger which makes charging the Yoda lightsaber easier as long as you can find a USB plug.

Kyber crystal: The rare gem from the Star Wars galaxy provides the force to your lightsaber. When placed into the weapon it lights up and can remain lit even when you remove it from the hilt. This makes the Jedai weapon more realistic during roleplay.

Instruction manual: An instruction manual is added in the box so you know what to do and how it works. You will find it helpful as you look for the charging port which has been coolly concealed.

Yoda Lightsaber Up Close

Once you have everything out of the box, it is exciting putting the parts together. Well, it may not be as complex to tinker with as the Howin Engine, but for a Star Wars fan, it is going to be exciting.

Assembling the Yoda lightsaber should be straightforward if you have seen a lightsaber before. It involves getting the battery in place, sliding in the kyber crystal, and attaching the blade which easily slides into its socket and then screws tight.

One of the first things you will notice when the blade is out of the box and assembled is that this lightsaber is smaller than most of the other blades. This should not be surprising after all, Yoda is not one of the biggest characters from Star Wars.

Once you activate the blade using the activation switch, there is a sound effect just like it sounded in the movie. The lightsaber has a low humming sound once it is activated. As you swing it around like you would in a fight, you will also hear a swishing sound.

For the fans of fight scenes, this Yoda blade is designed to give you accurate sound effects especially as the blades clash. The sound effects however need to be activated by pressing the sound effect button.

There are different sound effects which include effects for impact with another object like another lightsaber, as well as sound effects for deflecting attacks.

Whether you are fighting with another person with a blade or simply playing alone and striking the air, you can make the fight scenes more real by using sound effects.

Children ages 14 and above will like the fact that the Yoda Lightsaber is light and made from plastic. This enables them to run around with it without additional weight.

Why Yoda Lightsaber is Great

Sound effects: This has got to be the best thing about the Jedai Master’s lightsaber. From the moment you turn the switch on, it has a smooth flow activation sound. The other sound effects make roleplay exciting and bring to life your inner Jedai. The sound is also well-regulated. Though some people may say the volume is not loud enough, you will realize that it is convenient that the lightsaber does not have full blast volume. For example, what if you are trying to concentrate and your child is playing with the blade in the other room? It is convenient that the sound effects will not distract you but still give the Star Wars enthusiast enough excitement.

Rechargeable battery: It’s a nice touch to have rechargeable batteries as opposed to having to buy batteries all the time. The battery can be charged and ready for new adventures within 1 to 2 hours. This battery is also super light just like the Yoda lightsaber.

Small size: Given that this is Yoda’s lightsaber, it is only natural that it should be small. If you already have other lightsabers like the Luke Skywalker lightsaber, you will notice how much smaller this one is. That is a good thing because, for one, you will not have a lot of trouble carrying it with you to a convention, it will fit right in your bag. Another advantage is that it is great for smaller hands that may find the bigger hilts uncomfortable.

Hilt stand: Collectors will love this because you do not need to buy the stand separately. They come together and your only problem would be finding a place to put it among your collection of Star Wars items.

Final Verdict

The Yoda Lightsaber is a great buy. Its build and added features make it a great roleplay prop as well as a collector’s item. The sound effects are inspired by the movie and bring to life your inner Jedai. You can gift this to a Star Wars fan or even use it to introduce your young ones to the adventurous world of the galaxies beyond.
