"Don't be afraid of who you are."
Rey grew up thinking of herself as nobody special, but Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker upends those assumptions by revealing her true heritage as the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine. Discovering her connection to the galaxy's most powerful Sith Lord gives Rey a crisis of faith, forcing her to grapple with the question of whether she is fated to follow a similarly dark path.
The most dramatic expression of Rey's inner conflict comes during her exploration of the Death Star's wreckage and manifests as a cracked-mirror duplicate of herself as an agent of evil wielding a double-bladed crimson lightsaber equipped with a unique swing hinge.
The Empress metallic hilt's silver sheen is divided in sections with red and black rings that break up the hilt's uneven surface. When folded in half, both blades can be ignited in parallel, and with the flick of a wrist, the hilt can swing fully open and lock into place as a saberstaff.
Choose from three different core types:
- RGB: This core type features a smooth, bright blade that can be cycled through a variety of colors.
- Xenopixel3: This core type features a blade with individually addressable LEDs, which allows for incredibly realistic effects such as flickering, fading, and blade lock-up.
- Proffie: This core type is the most advanced, featuring a soundboard that allows for realistic sound effects and smooth, responsive motion.
No matter which core type you choose, you'll be sure to have a lightsaber that is both impressive and functional.

RGB? Xenopixel? Proffie? What do they mean?
There are a few options of lightsaber core that you can choose from us here at SaberMax. Good news is, we're here to make that choice easier for you to make. The following gives you a basic rundown of the important points and recommendations.
RGB Baselit
RGB baselit sabers utilize illumination that comes from inside of the hilt and extends into the blade. The blade is a polycarbonate tube with a special light diffusing film inside it for even illumination.
These sabers include features such as smooth swing, flash-on-clash, lighting effects, motion control, 12 changeable blade colors with16 soundfonts, and much more. RGB baselit sabers are a great choice for heavy dueling as the blades are extremely durable and relatively inexpensive to replace.
Xenopixel
Xenopixel sabers are a type of Neopixel sabers which utilize a 50-watt LED strip inside of the blade itself, which allows for maximum illumination. They are considerably brighter and more evenly lit than RGB baselit sabers.
Neopixel sabers are powered by an advanced core that controls the lighting of these individual LEDs. This allows for extremely sophisticated effects not possible on RGB baselit sabers. The ignition sequence is completely animated, including gradual extension and retraction effects (creating a completely smooth ignition), as well as other specially animated effects.
The LED strips within allows the blade is completely evenly lit, from base to tip, making it as realistic as in the movies. In addition to these ignition and shutdown sequences, Xenopixel sabers also have various pulsating effects not possible on RGB baselit sabers. The Xeno3 sabers also include 34 advanced soundfonts, compared to the 16 seen in RGB baselit sabers.
Also, our Xeno3 cores are highly customisable in addition to their pre-installed effects. Custom soundfonts, blade colors, blade effects, motion effects, and much more can be added through the 32GB SD card that is included with all Xeno3 sabers. This gives you the ability to program many different modes into the saber, resulting in endless possibilities. There is also an accompanying mobile app which pairs with the lightsaber via Bluetooth which allows you to easily program custom ignition, blade styles and colors in seconds. The Xeno3 is best suited for those who want that added touch of realism with the ease of having a range of custom options at their fingertips, along with some light dueling.
Proffie 2.2 Neopixel
Proffie 2.2 is the most advanced saber core currently available. It is a specialized type of Neopixel lightsaber that includes full customization options, in addition to all the standard effects of Neopixel sabers. Proffie sabers have many different sets of light effects, as well as other Proffie-specific capabilities.
However, the best feature of Proffie sabers is that they are fully programmable, in addition to their pre-installed effects. Custom soundfonts, blade colors, blade effects, motion effects, and much more can be added through the 32GB SD card that is included with all Proffie sabers. This gives you the ability to program many different modes into the saber, resulting in endless possibilities.
In addition, the format of Proffie lightsabers is open source, and it can easily be adjusted. Tinkering with the open source software is easy and fun, although it is a very involved process. However there are many online knowledge bases within the saber community that are focused on Proffie sabers. Perfect for those who want the ultimate customization and not afraid to get their (fgurative) hands dirty.
