If you're going as Anakin Skywalker for Halloween or a fan convention, you can't get any more realistic than this FX lightsaber. This licensed collectible, endorsed by Lucasfilm LTD, is his version from the FX Lightsaber series. The lightsaber requires 3 'AA' batteries to power the glowing polycarbonate blade and multiple motion-sensored sound effects including an idle hum and clashing noises. The hilt is customized to look like Anakin's movie Lightsaber and it rests upon clear cradles when stored on the collector's stand included with all FX lightsabers. The battery lasts several hours and the on/off switch allows power conservation. This replica lightsaber is approximately 44 1/2" in length.
