Description<\/summary>\n
\n

Darth Sidious‘ (Ian McDiarmid) hero lightsaber from George Lucas‘ Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Hidden in plain sight as a mild-mannered Galactic Republic politician, Senator Palpatine was secretly a Sith lord, going by the name Darth Sidious. Sidious finally revealed himself to the Jedi in a lightsaber duel with Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and his Jedi cohort. Disarmed in the duel, it fell to Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Chistensen) to dispatch Windu, finally accepting Sidious as his new master. Sidious would wield a saber in battle once more against Master Yoda in the empty Galactic Senate chamber after the Republic’s dissolution and the founding the Galactic Empire, ultimately defeating the Jedi Master and taking supreme control of the galaxy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedding the more spartan design elements of traditional Jedi sabers, the Sith Lord opted for a more lavish weapon, something in keeping with his ostentatious character, limitless ambition and defiant machinations to overthrow the Republic and the Jedi. Sidious‘ saber is an elegant work of art in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lightsaber is a hero, close-up version. Crafted in resin and vacuum metalized in a mirror chrome finish in silver and gold, the weapon features an ergonomic grip with a surround fitted with non-functioning red and green LEDs. The surround has a gunmetal finish, designed to refract light such that it would appear green or brown from differing angles during filming, adding to the unique appearance of the weapon. The emitter at the end of the grip is fashioned from brass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This incredible artifact was gifted by the film’s producers to noted stunt coordinator and sword master Nick Gillard as a thank you, on completion of the prequel trilogy. A letter from Nick accompanies the lightsaber. Dimensions: 19 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm (7 1\/2″ x 1 1\/2 “ x 1 1\/2 „)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
