Dark Rey Palpatine Double-Bladed Duelling Lightsaber – RGB-X

The Dark Rey Palpatine Double-Bladed Lightsaber is a meticulously crafted replica inspired by the vision of Dark Rey from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. This impressive double-bladed saber features a unique folding design, allowing it to transition from a dual-blade staff to two single blades, just as seen in the film. The hilts are constructed from high-quality silver alloy, adorned with striking red accents and segmented grip sections for enhanced handling and control. The intricate emitter design and menacing red glow capture the dark and mysterious essence of Rey’s dark side vision.

Equipped with RGB-X electronics, this lightsaber offers an immersive duelling experience with a range of features. The baselit blade provides vibrant illumination with multiple colour options, though it is best suited for dark environments as its light comes solely from the emitter. Designed for heavy duelling, the durable construction ensures it can withstand intense combat. The saber includes 16 pre-installed sound fonts, smooth swing motion detection, flash-on-clash effects, and gesture-based controls. While already equipped with such great features, it also supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to access settings more easily and upload extra sound fonts via the “XenoConfigurator” app on iOS and Android.
