After three years on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker's incredible feats have made him a hero throughout the Republic and earned him full Jedi Knight status.  Now, as the Clone Wars reach their devastating climax, Anakin returns to Coruscant for a daring rescue that earns him an appointment to the Jedi Council but is only reluctantly accepted by his fellow Jedi.

While continuing to conceal his marriage to Padme Amidala, Anakin worries that his nightmares of Padme dying in childbirth may be prophetic, and the young Jedi is determined to find a way to save her.  Seduced by promises of unlimited power and the hope of stopping death, Anakin plunges down the path to the dark side that has ben carefully laid before him.  Betraying the Jedi and those closest to him, Anakin Skywalker transforms in the most terrifying incarnation of evil - the Sith Lord Darth Vader.

The weapon Anakin wields represents the lightsaber that will one day be handed down to his son, Luke.  The prop was composed of a chrome-plated brass body and a polished aluminum center band, copying the look of an antique camera flash that formed the basis of the original classic trilogy props.  From the Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope lightsaber, they copied the placement of the flash's "red button" but replaced the "glass eye" with a copper colored dome.  The remaining details follow the Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back version and include six hand grips, a knurled center band, and a unique laser etched design in the control box top, emulating the style of a print circuit board.  A brass activation switch and a plastic clip, for attachment to the actor's belt, complete the design of this iconic Star Wars weapon.

To recreate the Anakin Skywalker Episode III Revenge of the Sith Lightsaber, Lucasfilm provided Master Replicas with an actual filming prop for reference, enabling our engineers to exactly reproduce every detail and dimension.  We hope you will proudly display this ultimate replica in your collection for many years to come.
