The new Obi-Wan Kenobi series is set to premiere in just a few weeks, and the toymaker has designed a replica lightsaber just in time. The Black Series Reva Force FX Elite Lightsaber has two blades attached to it and is a total of 6.5 feet long. It is modeled after the lightsaber wielded by the Third Sister, also known as Reva, a cold and callous Inquisitor set on hunting down Obi-Wan.

Inquisitors have held lightsabers in the past that have one blade and half of a circle in the center. Whether you use one or both blades, there are a number of cool lighting and sound effects that you can use.

While a progressive ignition effect has the lightsaber loading up with red light in preparation for battle, a blast deflect effect eliminates lighting in particular areas of the lightsaber to make it look like you. There's a mode that turns the lightsaber's tip into a bright white colour while emitting a buzzing sound, as if you're cutting through metal.

It doesn't spin on its own, so you can't use it as a helicopter to propel yourself short distances or repel enemy attacks. If you want to be involved in that spinning action, you need to get your baton-twirling skills.

The Third Sister's lightsaber looks like it's the most expensive one so far. The replicas of the lightsabers in the collection of lightsabers by the company don't seem to go over $300. You can check out Reva's lightsaber for yourself, which will almost certainly fulfill the $5,000 requirement, because who wouldn't want the chance to say they have a 6.5-foot lightsaber in their home? It will be available for purchase until July 11th at midnight, but won't start shipping until fall.
