Buying in the Old Republic
Choosing within the era.
Which characters carry the most choice
Darth Revan commands the deepest range in this catalogue — and it's well deserved. Few characters in the Old Republic era carry the same narrative weight, and that complexity maps directly onto the hilt options available. You'll find Revan represented across multiple Saber Core tiers and in both Sith and Jedi incarnations: the Xenopixel V3 and RGB-X versions of the classic Sith configuration give you a choice between full neopixel blade immersion or a battle-ready duelling build, while the V2 redesign offers the same split across both tiers. Then there's the Proffie 2.2 Jedi variant — a collector-tier piece for anyone who wants to sit with the full arc of Revan's story, light side and dark, on the same shelf. That's five distinct sabers from a single character, each positioned for a different kind of fan. Everywhere else in this era, the catalogue thins out. Other Old Republic figures tend to appear as single-variant entries — one hilt, one tier — which actually makes the selection decision simpler if Revan isn't your character. You know exactly what you're getting and why it exists.
The hilt shapes this era gave the catalogue
Old Republic hilts are built around a design philosophy the rest of the galaxy hadn't caught up with yet — longer emitter shrouds, pronounced hand guards, and grip sections with real weight behind them. Where the Prequel and Original Trilogy eras leaned into clean cylindrical lines, Old Republic designs carry more visual mass at the pommel and emitter, giving them a two-handed feel even when the fighter wields them single. Revan's Sith hilt is the archetype: that angled, forward-swept emitter paired with a dense mid-section creates a forward balance point that naturally encourages an aggressive grip — it handles differently to a Skywalker or Kenobi hilt, and anyone who picks one up feels it immediately. The Jedi variant shifts the geometry slightly, broadening the emitter flare to signal a different tradition entirely. Crossguard precursors from this era sit closer to functional armament than ceremony — thick, utilitarian, with guard geometry that was clearly designed to be used rather than displayed. If you've spent time with Prequel-era hilts and find them a little restrained, Old Republic designs give your hand somewhere to commit.
Duelling grade on Old Republic hilts
Every hilt in the Old Republic catalogue is available in two configurations, and the right one depends on how you plan to carry it. Neopixel sabers — including the Xenopixel V3 and Proffie 2.2 builds — are built for display and light choreography first. The blade delivers full colour-mixing, scroll effects, and responsive flash-on-clash that make characters like Darth Revan genuinely cinematic to hold. They can take incidental contact, but sustained heavy duelling isn't what that electronics tier is designed for, and we're honest about that. The RGB-X Duelling builds are the answer if you actually want to swing. A simplified but robust Saber Core, polycarbonate blade rated for contact, and a chassis tuned for the kind of repeated impact that enthusiast sparring puts through a hilt. You lose some of the visual nuance of a full neopixel blade, but you gain a saber you don't have to think twice about putting to work. The Old Republic era skews toward dual-identity characters — Revan crosses Jedi and Sith canon — so several hilts here are offered in distinct variant designs as well as distinct grade options. If you're choosing between the V1 and V2 Revan, that's a design and lore decision. If you're choosing between Xenopixel V3 and RGB-X, that's a use-case decision. Both matter, and neither is the wrong answer.
Saber Core choice across the era
Old Republic is where the lore runs deepest — and so does the Saber Core range. Across the 31 builds on this page, you'll find three tiers that suit collectors at every level of commitment. The Xenopixel V3 Core powers the majority of the character Neopixel builds here, including two distinct Darth Revan configurations: the Sith variant with its iconic crimson blade and the Jedi variant carrying the violet hue of a redeemed warrior. Xenopixel V3 delivers a full suite of on-board sound fonts, smooth-swing motion response, and blast-effect ignition sequences straight out of the box — no app pairing required, no configuration headaches, just an immediately responsive saber that does justice to characters this storied. For those wanting the deepest possible control over every sound font, colour profile, and motion setting, the Proffie 2.2 Core appears on the Darth Revan Jedi Lightsaber — open-source, community-supported, and the choice for collectors who treat customisation as part of the build experience. The baselit tier, running RGB-X, brings the same Old Republic handle designs — including both Revan variants — into a duel-ready format with a polycarbonate blade and a Saber Core built for repeated impact. If you are stepping into the Old Republic for the first time and want a handle you can actually swing without hesitation, these are the builds worth looking at.
