There is certainly no shortage of unusual lightsabers for LEGO representation, although I think relatively memorable examples will be the exclusive focus. Luke Skywalker's second lightsaber retains iconic status, while Darth Maul or Count Dooku's weapons could also become appealing LEGO designs because they are immediately recognisable. Unfortunately, this lightsaber will be exclusively available with 75313 AT-AT. Certain subjects seem appropriate for expensive promotions, but this celebrated weapon warranted broader availability. Nevertheless, the model looks superb and should complement Yoda's lightsaber. The Completed Model Luke Skywalker's lightsaber should be substantially larger than Yoda's, hence these weapons differ in length. The difference is less pronounced than their onscreen counterparts though, as Yoda's lightsaber is life-size while Luke's reaches 20cm in length, instead of an accurate 28cm. Nevertheless, I think the models look reasonable together.

Reselling a set like the ATAT is hard, that is assuming you want to make a profit. And there are thinking to be many people that want the GWP, but not the set. This drops the set price on the secondary market by the market value of the GWP. Fortunately, the lightsaber looks excellent when removed from the display stand too. Various buttons are correctly located across the exterior, including dials for adjusting the blade length and power level, alongside the activation matrix. The grey switch originates from A New Hope and features wonderful texture, although I would have preferred the golden design from other films instead. Both lightsabers share considerable similarities, employing the same construction methods and colours. However, notable differences are also present, including some avoidable examples. Despite certain inaccuracies, 40483 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber looks superb on display and complements 6346098 Yoda's Lightsaber, as expected. The proportions are absolutely perfect and I appreciate the attention to subtle detail, including the aforementioned switches, dials and pearl silver connecting ring. The presentation stand appears elegant too. Differences in scaling were perhaps unavoidable, but the variation between their presentation stands is surprising. These could have been completely consistent, especially since they each feature printed plaques. Evidently the designer decided to introduce changes instead, arguably improving the stand, but I think scattered dark bluish grey accents should have remained.

The model feels remarkably tactile though and its proportions appear perfect. Relying upon 4x4 round elements was inevitable, so shortening the length was probably sensible. Moreover, the set contains an attractive presentation stand which complements the lightsaber, cradling its cylindrical hilt. The distinguished Skywalker lightsaber appears throughout Star Wars, passing between famous Force users. 40483 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber should therefore prove splendid, accompanying 6346098 Yoda's Lightsaber which was released during 2019.

Having studied Latin and Ancient Greek for an extended period, my writing style has always been entirely grammatical. I dislike completely casual writing, just as a personal preference.

Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber establishes the Lightsaber Collection, succeeding 6346098 Yoda's Lightsaber which was available last year alongside 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina. However, those qualities are overshadowed by the restricted distribution. Promotional sets are enjoyable, although their subjects should be carefully chosen. The famed Skywalker lightsaber seems bound to prove exceptionally popular, Limiting its availability to purchasing 75313 AT-AT is therefore frustrating, especially given the marvellous standard of this model. should this have been 48 cm to be accurate? For some reason I thought I read at one point that saber handles were 1 foot long and 1 meter for the blade."
