Dark Rey Palpatine Double-Bladed Lightsaber – Xenopixel V3

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 Xenopixel V3 electronics, this lightsaber includes a Neopixel blade, making it perfect for showcase and light duelling but not for heavy duelling. The 144-LED strip within the blade delivers vibrant illumination, realistic ignition effects, and dynamic blade styles. Additional features include smooth swing motion detection, 34 pre-installed sound fonts, multiple ignition modes, gesture controls, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Bluetooth connectivity allows for further customisation via the XenoConfigurator app on iOS and Android.
