Top 10 Algae Scrapers

8. Signature Series Mace Windu

If you want to show off your knowledge of the Star Wars canon by wielding something some fans might not even recognize, try the Signature Series Mace Windu. Its motion-controlled sound effects will activate as you show off your moves.

7. Black Series Darth Maul

The Black Series Darth Maul is the same weapon used by the villain from “The Phantom Menace.” Just like in that movie, it can be attached to a second model to make the character’s intimidating double staff. Unfortunately, you do have to buy two to make that happen.

6. Dark Side Rey Limited Edition

While this particular model existed only in a vision experienced by one of the characters, the Dark Side Rey Limited Edition is coveted by collectors, nonetheless. It’s one of only 750 replica pieces produced, and its stand sports a commemorative plaque.

5. Signature Series Force Darth Vader

The Signature Series Force Darth Vader features the deep, blood-red glow of the weapons preferred by Sith lords. It produces a variety of movie-based sound effects, including a specific noise for when you power it on and off.

4. Black Series Luke Skywalker

This officially licensed Black Series Luke Skywalker is a favorite among collectors, both for its fidelity to the weapon in the original trilogy and for its low price. It includes a simple stand that props it up without detracting from its appearance.

3. Signature Series Obi-Wan Kenobi

You can pay homage to an honorable Clone Wars veteran by wielding the Signature Series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Its blue color is as calming and ethereal as the Jedi Master himself, and it emits an authentic clashing sound when contact is made.

2. Star Wars Black Series Kylo Ren

The Star Wars Black Series Kylo Ren comes with a stand that balances it effortlessly, making it almost appear to be floating. The detailing on the hilt is faithful to the design you see on the screen, right down to its weathering.

1. Signature Series Anakin Skywalker

The Signature Series Anakin Skywalker is probably the most recognizable weapon from the film series — at least among those used by the good guys. It is great for cosplay, as you can remove the blade and attach the hilt to your belt.
