Stars Wars Lightsaber for Cosplay

Hi! My friends and I have decided to go to Comic Con as Star Wars characters. They decided I look most like Anakin(Third Prequel). Now before I start my costume I need to figure out my budget. That's where the saber came in. Now I don't want to spend a ton but I want something good(Story of my life). I want something along the lines of a metal hilt and plastic blade with the LEDs. I would also like to have a removable blade that way I can display it at home. Now I'm not saying I will do it all the time but let's face it we all want to do it. Duel. I've owned a saber as a younger kid and after bashing it enough it got dark spots in the blade. Basically I need something decent durable but most of all bright and as cheap as possible. Now I'm asking if anyone have experience in this type of purchase and could recommend a product or company. I just don't want to spend a ton because I'm not sure how much I will use the item.

  • Make one. That's what I did and it was under $10. Use the plastic tube extention from your vacuum and cut it to size. Go to the auto parts store and buy some chrome trim with adhesive. Use the turn stitch from am old lamp and power switch for a flashlight. Paint those silver. Hot glue the switches to it after placing the chrome trim strips. Make a clip out of a metal hanger. Simply cut an old broom stick and paint it the desired color. Wrap the bottom of the stick with a thick layer of duct tape. Slide stick through the bottom of hilt and seal it with another scavenged piece of plastic with hot glue. Every jedi or sith builds his or her own lightsaber.
