From starting out as a Padawan learner under Anakin Skywalker to becoming an outcast from the Jedi order who later went on to help establish a network of rebels fighting against the Galactic Empire, Ahsoka is one of the most remarkable characters in the franchise.
The two white lightsabers she wields also add to the uniqueness of her character. The dual lightsaber set which consists of a standard lightsaber and a shoto lightsaber feature and hand-crafted curved hilts that accommodate her fighting style and showcases her formidable skills as a duelist.
Ahsoka Tano’s lightsabers have become a symbol of not just her character but her journey to becoming the fierce leader that she is today, and as a fan of her character, owning a pair of her lightsabers is a way for you to feel one step closer to becoming a Jedi.
There are many different models of Ahsoka Tano lightsabers available on the market today, but not all of them are built the same. To help you make the best choice, here are some important features you should be on the lookout for when choosing one.
Hilt Design and Quality
One of the first features to look out for when buying a pair of is the design of the hilt. Ahsoka’s two lightsabers (the standard and the shoto lightsaber) feature curved hilts with rectangular profiles, so it is important to be on the lookout for a replica that accurately depicts the curves and ridges of this hilt style.
The quality of the hilt material is also very important, seeing as how the hilt serves as both the handle and the casing for the saber’s electronics. Your repilca Ahsoka Tano lightsaber should feature hilts that are made from strong and durable materials like metal. The hilt should also be easy to grip, sturdy, and comfortable.
Blade Colour and Visual Effects
One of the features that make Ahsoka Tano’s lightsabers stand out is the unique white colour of their blades. This white colour is a result of Ahsoka using the Force to heal the kyber crystals she retrieved from the double-bladed lightsaber of the Sixth Brother, an Imperial Inquisitor. She purified the bled kyber crystals (turning them pure white) before using them to construct her lightsabers.
A good quality replica of Ahsoka Tano’s lightsabers should come with blades that feature the characteristic white colour of Ahsoka’s blades. The blades should also be equipped with good-quality LED’s that allow for adequate levels of brightness. Other visual effects such as colour changing, tip drag, flash-on clash, and blaster effects should also be included for more realism.
Blade Length and Quality
Because Ahsoka Tano practices , a combat style that favours a dual-wielding, she makes use of two lightsabers: a standard lightsaber with a regular full-size blade length and a shoto lightsaber with a shorter blade. The saber blades are also lightweight to allow her the speed and agility needed when dueling. Be on the lookout for a replica that accurately mimics the length of the original. It should also feel lightweight and easy to use.
In addition to blade length, blade quality is also important. A good quality mid-grade or heavy-grade polycarbonate blade is always the best choice, as they are capable of withstanding the conditions of light sparring to heavy dueling.
Sound Effects
For a truly immersive experience, replica lightsabers should come equipped with authentic and movie-accurate sound effects. A replica that has a good and customisable soundboard is always ideal.
Power Source
Just like the lightsabers in the movies, replica lightsabers require a power source to function. This is usually in the form of AA batteries or rechargeable Li-ion batteries. When choosing a replica Ahsoka Tano lightsaber, make sure to go for one that has good power-saving abilities.
