OBI-WAN KENOBI LIGHTSABER LE
STAR WARS: EPISODE II ATTACK OF THE CLONES

"A Jedi's saber is his most precious possession."
- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars: Attack of the Clones

The lightsaber for Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is an interesting example of the development process of movie prop replicas.  Designs for each of the lightsaber props are created by the design group led by Doug Chiang, and then submitted to George Lucas for approval.  In this case, Ewan McGregor, the actor playing Obi-Wan Kenobi, chose the lightsaber design for his character in Episode I from those that were presented to him.

Another intriguing aspect of the development process was the evolution of Obi-Wan's lightsaber from Episode I to Episode II.  As Obi-Wan's lightsaber was lost during the battle with Darth Maul, there are few subtle differences on the Episode II version to underscore that Obi-Wan built a new lightsaber modeled after the old one.  For instance, the hero lightsaber featured in Episode I was machined in metal.  However,  the hero lightsaber featured in Episode II has the notably different look of a bright chrome-plated finish.  These two lightsabers also differ in several small, yet distinctive details:

     - The pommel cubes on the Episode I lightsaber were square with small
        holes through them.  However, on the Episode II lightsaber the cubes
        were more triangular and did not have holes through them.
     - On the Episode I lightsaber, the three LEDs near the emitter have clear
        white lenses in the center.  On the Episode II lightsaber, though, these
        LEDs were chrome-plated.
     - On the Episode I prop, a bicycle air valve adapter was used as a control
        switch, but the Episode II version of the prop featured a custom-made
        control switch.

Incorporating all of the details noted above, Master Replicas has created a faithful reproduction of the Obi-Wan lightsaber from Episode II.  We are very proud of this replica and we hope that it is a prized addition to your Star Wars collection.
