The Steadying Force of a Generation
As a Padawan under Master Rana Kant, Stellan Gios trained alongside Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann — a trio so close the rest of the Order saw them as one. Where Kriss burned bright and Mann moved with instinct, Gios was the still point between them: measured, principled, quietly doubting himself in ways he never let the others see.
Knighthood changed him — not just in rank, but in expectation. Where he had once leaned on the friendship of Kriss and Mann to steady himself, he now had to become the steady thing for others. Assigned his own Padawan, the Mirialan Vernestra Rwoh, and later elevated to the Jedi High Council, Gios shaped his uncertainty into something that looked, from the outside, indistinguishable from conviction.
That conviction carried him to Starlight Beacon — and ended there. His sacrifice during the station's destruction passed into Order memory, and his lightsaber, the black-and-gold crossguard hilt detailed in the Signature Specs above, was given to Elzar Mann. One design on this page holds that arc.
The Fallen Star — remembered not for his doubts, but for the moment he silenced them.
Which Stellan Gios lightsaber should I buy?
The crossguard hilt, in black and gold — available as a Xenopixel V3 neopixel build for collectors or RGB-X baselit for duelists, and suits any fan drawn to The High Republic era.
Which hilt is which
One design on this page — the black-and-gold crossguard hilt carried by Stellan Gios throughout The High Republic era, from his time on the Jedi High Council to the events of The Fallen Star.
Which Saber Core
RGB-X gives you a baselit blade built for heavy duelling — the lower-cost tier, solid and contact-ready. Xenopixel V3 lights the full blade, adds smooth swing and colour-shift effects, and is the choice for display and light sparring. Both cores are available on this single crossguard design.
Which suits you
Heavy duelists who want contact-ready sparring should go baselit — the RGB-X build is the one. Display collectors and cosplayers will find the Xenopixel V3 neopixel version closer to Stellan Gios's screen presence, full-blade illumination and all. If programming custom soundfonts and fine-tuning every effect matters to you, look to a Proffie-tier build in the wider catalogue.
